Despite their age, the duo, 87, can eat anything and engage in other activities without help.

Living through defining moments

The octogenarians have lived through many historic moments, including Ghana becoming an independent nation on Mach 6, 1957.

Comfort and Grace were also alive during World War II, a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945.

The duo has become an internet sensation after Nänä Teä, known in real life as James Annor Tetteh, uploaded their photos online.

The popular social media influencer posed with the twins during his birthday. He had visited Akwamufie in the Eastern Region to mark his birthday with the pair.

Sharing the goosebumps-raising photos, Nänä Teä wrote:

''@Nana Osei Bonsu is a good friend I made from Tell It All through his wife. He's been a very good friend since then. About one month ago, he posted these twins on his WhatsApp status about one losing her husband. Looking at their age before one lost her husband, this must be a special grace.
