People can lie

How can triplets be an abomination in Yorubaland and I wouldn't know about it?

why not try to come during the 19th and 18th century as a twin or triplet.

doubting thomas! Make your ground work before debunking a veracious fact. Obviously, you can't know everything, not even some ideologies that were in existence long time ago before you were conceived.

Just pass exams in school and my mum Iya Eleja will be like "ori e pe bi to Alajo Somilu"

Such an Intresting Story... Your Entreprenurship Spirit Is worthy of Emulation, You seized the available opportunity as at that Time to Create a Job for yourself.
Baba You tried alot..!!!!
May You continue to RIP.....

Many here on Nairaland may not comment on this piece because what we celebrate in Nigeria is nudity and senselesness.

Thought the name is a myth or coined out from a popular story like ijapa and yanibo.

Aajo, the famous Yoruba traditional banking with its omooluwabi ethos. I once heard of a situation in my hometown where a group of yiibos are doing this and the thrift collector ran away with all their money. Lol
