The Oguntoye-Adediran love story began a decade ago, when all four were studying at the University of Ibadan. A lecturer told the Oguntoyes that she knew a set of twin sisters they should meet, which piqued the brothers' interest. "It's not that we haven't met other twin sisters before. We did date some, but sometimes things just didn't work out," Taiwo Oguntoye said. The Adedirans initially resisted an introduction and did not answer the lecturer's phone calls. Then, eventually, a meeting was set up. Taiwo Oguntoye, now in his early 40s, remembers: "We eventually visited them, we had a talk but they were not interested in a relationship then." Instead, the foursome became friends. Life took them in different directions, however. The sisters, who had been studying for master's degrees in Ibadan, moved abroad for further studies, while the brothers travelled and worked in several countries, including the United States and South Africa.
