Girl with nine A1s in WASSCE: She is so brilliant her teachers feared her result would be seized

Seventeen year-old Tolulope Falokun, who had distinctions (A1) in all the nine subjects she attempted in the 2011 West African Senior School Certificate Examination was in high spirit as she alighted from the official car of the Ondo State Commissioner for Education, Mr. Remi Olatubora, on Monday. Tolu rode in the same vehicle with the commissioner from Akure to Ondo town where a befitting reception was organised for her at her Alma Mata, the St. Louis Secondary school. Her principal, teachers, non-academic staff and selected pupils of the school who were already seated before her arrival in company with officials of the state Ministry of Education, gave her a standing ovation as she stepped into the venue of the reception. Everybody that spoke on the occasion paid glowing tributes to Falokun’s simple nature and her quest for excellence. She was described as intelligent, hardworking, serious-minded and above all, highly disciplined pupil. Born into the Samuel Falokun family on February 20, 1995, Tolulope is a native of Akure, and the third of four female children of her parents. She was among the best five students admitted into St. Louis Secondary School in 2005. Tolu, who came first in the ANCOPSS National Quiz competition had distinctions in all the subjects she attempted in the Junior Secondary School State Exams in 2008. Tolu came first in the Ekimogun Essay Competition of December, 2010, hence, she featured in the 2010 Ondo State calendar. She also came first in several inter school competitions. She was made the senior prefect of her school, because of her exemplary brilliance. Her younger sister, Ibukun, now in SSII, is currently the senior prefect of the same all female school.
