Idris Olalekan Criticized for Congratulating Emeka Over 372 JAMB Score

The Executive Chairman of IFO Local Government in Ogun State has come under fire from an extremist group of ethnic bigots calling themselves “Yoruba Ronus” and self-proclaimed Yoruba conservatives. Their grievance was because the chairman dared to congratulate Azoyenime Samuel Chukwuemeka, a student of Isaac School, Matogbun Oke-Aro Road, Ifo LGA, for his outstanding performance in the 2025 JAMB examination.

Samuel Chukwuemeka's result, which has gone viral across social media, shows an impressive total of 372 out of 400, with scores of 98 in Physics, 98 in Chemistry, 98 in Mathematics, and 78 in English.

While many Nigerians celebrated Samuel's brilliance and academic excellence, a few ethnic bigots decided to hijack the moment for tribalistic propaganda. These so-called Yoruba Ronus criticized the LG chairman for "using Yoruba resources to promote an Igbo student," with some even threatening protests and calling for his removal from office.

However, their comments were swiftly condemned by Nigerians nationwide, who blasted the Ronus clique for injecting tribalism and hate into what should have been a unifying moment of national pride.

Any society that panders to ethnic bigotry in place of excellence and building an effective reward system will keep failing woefully.
Just take a look at the mess in the comments and quotes 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
That boy literally brought glory to the LGA but dammit he’s Igbo. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@mayor20051

The fact that the Hon Chairman of IFO LGA did something commendable and some online miscreants who claim to RONU are on this app gaslighting him, shows how tribalism and bigotry have eaten deep into a lot of person's in this country.
May God deliver such person's

Yoruba people never cry this much until Tinubu rigged himself into Aso Rock.

God bless you mr chairman for recognizing excellence.

@SportyStacey7

Congratulations Chukwuemeka and thanks to Ifo local government for celebrating a genius.

Are they planning a protest on this ?

@Westjrn1

So now my tribe is crying under this post? All because another tribe in his local government actually scored the highest and got recognized. What do they expect—he should ignore performance and praise based on ethnicity now? even if they didn’t deliver? Make it make sense.”

Are they planning a protest on this ?


All I see is insecurity manifesting as a human

Are they planning a protest on this ?

It seems like the hand work of Yoruba Muslims

Nawaoooo, these people bigotry is something else

Some people chronic irredeemable ethno-religio-regional bigotry is legendary. Abeg let's celebrate good success.

Na person who don't know Yorubas will be surprised

LOL, I smell envy...

And you with a fish 🧠 is sharing the gospel?

There’s no way you can separate the school the lad attended from the LGA.

So the bigots should simply swallow this bitter pill and drink some water.

The Chairman should actually do more - monetary reward and scholarships to help raise the BP of his bigot tribe people.

Instead of seeing this as a way of prepping their youths to step up, they are attacking the messenger. So much for the most "educated" tribe in Nigeria

Tribalism and bigotry are tools used by those in power to divide and conquer. Politicians, driven by greed, stoke hatred between us, making us believe that our tribe or culture is superior to another's. This division weakens us, and we end up fighting each other while they remain in control, untouched by the suffering they cause.

We are not enemies. Our true strength lies in our unity, in recognizing that we are all part of the same people, the same land, with shared history and common struggles. The land beneath our feet is ancient; it has seen division, and it has seen unity.

We must that when we are divided, we are weak, but when we stand together, we are unstoppable.

I am ashamed at some people's mindset. Funny enough, her handle is Mindshift....and it didn't start with her, very appalling.

I'm sure it was mostly Yoruba teachers that thought the young champ 🏆. They should also do well to protest against them. Bunch of cretins and rotten tomatoes.

I understand their grievances

Funny how they hate education, but someone with NO proof of Educational qualifications. Well done Olalekan Idris and kudos Emeka.

Hehehe 🤣😂

There's a reason I coined their species the Agbadoid RoNu gene of the Homo Urchinus variety of Agbad0rians

Omo yebo that's their conclusion, Lolz

See all the Cowards that were hailing Donald Trump's MAGA here all pretending

#MYGA
Make Yorubaland great again

What if I told you that the school is also owned by and Omo ibo?

Let the rescind their operating licence.

I’m surprised helineus and his cousin yarimo haven’t made a presentation on the subject….

Nigerians, especially those abroad, are the ones to quickly cry out that they are being discriminated against, but here back home we discriminate against each other based on our ethnicity or religion.

The Yoruba don't want the Ibo people, and the Ibo don't want to see the Yoruba people. Same thing—the northerners only want their tribes to live in the north.

I don't really know what led Nigeria to this bad situation we are in now.

I am a Nigerian of the Yoruba tribe. I am happy for any Nigerian that achieves a great thing, irrespective of which tribe the person comes from.

We all need to congratulate this boy and forget about the no-good Yoruba Ronu associates and their bigotry statements.

I them..

Anybody that have seen this thread below knows the chairman is just playing himself..
