It was a sunny day, I and my friends had gone to Oyo to serve our father's land. The Yoruba Is one of Nigeria's biggest tribe. The Ibejis are the twins who are known as Taiwo And Kehinde. Seeing twins on a daily is normal but having twins in every family in a particular community was unusual. We would discover that it was part of them and normalised. The Ìgbọrà kingdom is blessed with twins in it's abundance. It was rooted to their forefathers having asked for twins and it was given to every to avoid partiality. The coming of twins on a daily to the community turned out *unspecial" though in the eyes of visitors and outside community members, it was unique and amazing. The ibejis (the twins) have a special money that even when/if a twin dies, a wood is carved to look like a human and made to wear matching outfits with the living twin. The ibejis usually come with same gender except in some cases.
