Meet 19-year-old First Class Graduate In Accounting From Adeleke University
Tolulope Ekundayo, a 19-year-old graduate of Adeleke University, Osun, has pleaded with Davido to sponsor her master’s degree abroad.
In a series of posts via X on Sunday, Ekundayo said she enrolled at the institution when she was 15 years old.
She disclosed that she graduated from the institution with first-class honors in Accounting.
Ekundayo also shared photos of herself with multiple awards in acknowledgment of her academic achievements.
The lady asked Davido to “give me a gift for graduating with first class from his father’s school”.
Ekundayo argued that she worked hard for the degree, adding that she “deserves this scholarship to study abroad”.
“A first-class graduate at 19! BSc Accounting, yeah I did that,” she wrote.
“I got into Adeleke University at the age of 15. Please help me tag Davido. He should give me a gift for graduating with first class from his daddy’s school.
“I am looking for scholarship opportunities to do my masters abroad and a very good accounting firm to work during my NYSC service.
“Tag Davido for me. I need this scholarship abroad like crazy. Everyone who knows me knows I deserve this scholarship to study abroad.
“I worked hard for this first class! Had 5.0 gpa 6 out of the time! Finished my ATS exams at 17! Let me hustle for this scholarship please, it’s better to say I tried than regret never trying.”
Recall that Adeleke University is a private institution founded in 2011 by Adedeji Adeleke, Davido’s father.

Kano Reps Seek Legal Expertise from Women Lawyers to Improve Lawmaking
By Gloria Ikibah
Members of the Kano State Caucus in the House of Representatives have emphasized the critical role of legal professionals in enhancing their legislative duties. The caucus made this call during a meeting with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), Kano State Chapter, held in Abuja on Tuesday
Speaking on behalf of the caucus, the leader of the Kano and Northern Caucus, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, acknowledged that while lawmakers bear the primary responsibility for crafting legislation, their work can be significantly enriched through collaboration with legal experts.
“Those of us here are called lawmakers, but while making laws, we need fine and brilliant minds like yours to assist us,” Doguwa said. He pointed out the importance of avenues like public hearings and constituency offices where legal professionals can provide valuable input.
“When we have professionals like you collaborating with us, it ensures that our critical duty of lawmaking is executed with precision. Despite my 34 years in the House, having been elected six times, I acknowledge that I am not perfect. I am not a lawyer, and there are gaps only your expertise can fill,” he admitted.
Doguwa also highlighted the ongoing constitutional review process as an opportune moment for legal professionals to contribute meaningfully. “Virtually all the laws in the Federation can be reviewed. They are not cast in stone. Your insights will help us address gaps in legislation, such as with the Petroleum Industry Act, which continues to generate debate,” he said.
In her remarks, the Chairperson of FIDA Kano State Chapter, Barrister Bilkisu Suleman, outlined the organization’s mission to provide free legal services to underprivileged individuals, particularly women and children.
“FIDA is an international body of legal professionals dedicated to promoting the rights of women and children. Our services are offered pro bono, and we allocate time to advocacy, legal representation, and mediation,” Suleman said.
She elaborated on the organization’s efforts to ensure access to justice, including handling sensitive cases in courts, mediating disputes, and conducting community sensitization programs.
“Our work often involves resolving family disputes outside the courtroom to foster peace and stability. We mediate cases, even if they are already in court, because ensuring harmony within families is crucial,” she explained.
Suleman also highlighted the challenges of addressing legal issues in impoverished communities and stressed the importance of collaboration with lawmakers to improve societal welfare.
“We deeply appreciate the efforts of representatives in promoting the welfare of society and encourage continued cooperation to make meaningful impacts,” she concluded.
