![ORIKI IBEJI: PRAISE POEM OF TWINS. Nearly every culture in the world has produced its own unique form of poetry, whether in written or oral form. The Yoruba, like other African societies, have a rich tradition of meaningful oral poetry. Some of these oral poems are used for religious purpose[like Òrìṣà panegyrics, ifá verses recitation(Ìyẹ̀rẹ̀ Ifá)], while some are used for activities unrelated to religion, such as praisesongs,(oríkì), hunter’s chants, Ìjálá), incantations(ọfọ̀), bridal songs(ẹkún ìyàwó), epics, etc. These traditional poems, when subjected to literary analysis, usually reveal contents filled with devices utilised by poets when writing contemporary poems. The poem above is a translation of Oríkì Ìbejì(praise song of twins), a type of Yoruba traditional poem. The translated poem was culled from Daramola, O. ati Jeje, A,(1970) Àwọn Àṣà àti Òrìṣà Ilẹ̀ Yorùbá. Being the tribe with highest rate of twin birth in the world, the Yoruba hold twins in high esteem. They are regarded as “a special gift from God because they are harbingers of good things and possess what other children do not have” hence the reason why many Yorubas want to have them as children.
