The name Kehinde in Yorubaland simply means the younger sibling in a set of twins. Unlike most twin celebs who aren’t big on using their traditional native names, Kehinde Bankole has never shied away from the fact that she is a twin. If you visit her Instagram page, it won’t take you long before you find photos of her twin sister, Taiwo Bankole.

These ladies might just be the most beautiful sets of fraternal twins you’d ever meet. Kehinde has become a famous movie star in Nigeria with numerous movie projects. While her twin sister, Taiwo, on the other hand, is a party planner. They might not be identical but they are beautiful and obviously inseparable.
