Culture / Re: Ejire Ara Isokun! Where Exactly Is Isokun? by adeoluremi1(f): 4:02pm On Aug 22, 2019
Isokun is in Oyo. History verbally transferred has it that a family were living in Isokun about the time where killing of twins was the custom in Oyo empire. The then Isokun wasn't under the empire, and this couple had twins. In that they weren't home, they were confused as to whether they should kill or keep them.
Upon consulting Ifa, they were ordered to keep them while the mother danced round the town with them every five days. People pitied her and started giving her money everytime she did. This made the family rich and people began to believe the twins brought them good fortune, which explains the line in their eulogy ' O wole alakisa so won do nigba aso'
News actually got to Oyo empire about the happenings and it led to the custom of letting twins live.
They however had a child after which they called Idowu...
