Emily Kehinde Olukoga-Ogunde)
Esther Taiwo Olukoya and Emily Kehinde Olukoga-Ogunde (born 1913, Ijebu-Ode) were identical twin sisters from Nigeria. They celebrated their 100th birthday on March 16, 2013, as Nigeria's oldest twins. At the time, unlike her twin sister, Esther used a wheelchair. They were both traders by profession. Emily was also one of the wives of the veteran actor Hubert Ogunde. [1] [2] [3] They attributed their longevity in part to heredity (their mother died at age 104) and in part to their choice for a healthier lifestyle (they neither smoked nor drank) and their faith in God. [3] Emily died in September 2013. [1] Esther died in 2018. [4]
