THE EXTRAORDINARY TWINS

In the world of the twins, we have heard so many things. Many unbelievable, and intriguing. We interviewed these Out Of The Ordinary Twins. They stretch the myth about twins to the limit. Here is the trajectory of their lives.
Their names- Taye and Kehinde Omolola Oyeteju. Born on the 26th of March 1982. Both girls attended Florida Nursery and Primary School in Surulere, Lagos. Then proceeded to Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School Ijebu Ode.
The twins went on to Olabisi Onabanjo University, where they studied the same course Banking and Finance. Indeed, the four years they spent in the university were years in which their teachers and most of their classmates were awed by the similarity, not only in their looks but in their mannerisms. What rankled most was their fastidiousness in sharing everything like eating from same plate, using the same cup to drink, sharing straws, similar attires and most of their mannerisms were the same. After school, they both reported for the compulsory National Youth Service Corps known as NYSC. First, there was a furore over their been posted to different states to serve. This was later resolved and both were brought together. But things soon got rockier during the service year. The twins decided to romp and got pregnant about the same time. As soon as the NYSC authorities discovered their swollen bellies, they were both fired from service and sent home to have their babies. They both worked with UAC Foods, Ojota. They both soon got married on the same day, 26th of June, 2009. On Wednesday, 25th November, 2009, they both gave birth to bouncing baby girls at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH in what was the climax of a string of coincidences that have dogged their lives.
