D sage: @op, what's difference between 'Taiwo and Taye or Tayelolu'? Has it been called Taiwo since the time immemorial or just modern version to replace Taye or Tayelolu?taiwo is the real name. Taye is a shortened form of taiwo. Tayelolu is also the same, but the parents jes want to tell u dt taye is d head(OLU). 2 Likes |

SLIDE waxie: taiwo is the real name. Taye is a shortened form of taiwo. Tayelolu is also the same, but the parents jes want to tell u dt taye is d head(OLU). Wrong sir. Yoruba tradition believes that Kehinde is the eldest despite coming out last which explains the statement often made "Omo Kehinde gba egbon" ( Kehinde is the eldest) Tayololu is simply a fanciful way of saying Taye : 2 Likes 1 Share |

shadrach77:You are wrong, Taiwo came first. The more reason Kehinde gbegbon is to prevent hatred btw the two or else their mother will not rest. My mother will say Taiwo came first but Kehinde is the elder. Sometime my mother will say nothing when we asked her. 1 Like |
