Taiye and Kehinde Osuolale are identical twins popularly known as Ibeji Oran in the Yoruba movie genre.

These names were given to them on account of their roles in an epic movie entitled,Ide,produced by late Yekini Ajileye in 1993.Since then,the diminutive actors have not looked back.

The duo who are happily married have also featured in movies like 'Koto Aiye', 'Seranko Seniyan' among others.

gosh. that was an eye sore

What is the diagnosis

Are they mentally normal?

This guys are popular Yoruba actors

They suffer from a condition known as Progeria which in essence means premature aging. There are a handful of people worldwide who suffer from this genetic mutation.
Read up more on it here and you can also google the word Progeria and you'll find pictures of other people with this problem and they look just like these twins.

I was going to say that but I was not sure. They look just like the ones that were shown on TLC though all the ones I have seen on TV have been white. Thanks "TheShepherd'sPsalm"

Which movies because I've never seen them in any Yoruba movie. Def not popular.

They should be admitted to the hospital for treatment, because I dont think this is normal.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no comment

@psalm 23
i also thought it was progeria but i don't think so anymore. The average life exptancy of a progeriac male is 17 years old (14 for female). These twins are well into their 20s and are married. I'm suspecting they have a genetic condition close to progeria.

The oldest surviving person with progeria was african. he died at age 26 according to the wikipedia article psalm23 posted. It is possible that it is progeria. Our diet is different from western countries. What people are exposed to environmentally is also different. Eating pounded yam and fresh fish will always be better than eating macaroni and cheese on a daily basis. Our traditional diet might be the reson why their bodies have held together this long. But they still need help. Maybe they should contact oneof these TV stations that talk about Progeria. I know I had never seen or heard of any twins with the condition and their age also would make it many researchers joy to sit with them. It might help future unborn kids.

OMG. Years Back these guys came to My secondary sch, I can still remember the play they did scared the sh**t outta us all

They will definitely look better than you if God could grant you the same circumstance. During the American civil war of 1863, the men, women and kids looked the same as Biafrans due to malnutrition. In most recent wars in the east Africa, Ethiopians and Somalis did not look different from servitude by hunger
