Ibukunoluwa, a Lagos State University graduate, has set social media buzzing after revealing that she and her sister both crossed the graduation stage with First Class Honours, each excelling in a different educational discipline.
Taking to X on 19 August 2026, Ibukunoluwa (@Ayaoba_official) announced that she had earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Business Education with First Class Honours. The celebration did not stop there. She revealed that her sister graduated alongside her with the same distinction, having completed a degree in English Education.
Two Sisters, One Remarkable Achievement
What makes the story particularly striking is that neither sister followed the same academic path. Ibukunoluwa pursued Business Education while her sister focused on English Education, yet both arrived at the same outstanding result. To achieve First Class Honours individually would be noteworthy on its own; to do so simultaneously, as siblings studying different courses, is a feat that has captured the attention of thousands online.
In her post, Ibukunoluwa described the shared achievement as surpassing her own prayers. Sharing her testimony on X with photos of herself and her sister, she said: "FIRST CLASS HONOURS ?" "B.Sc. (Ed.) Business Education" "Becoming a First Class Graduate alongside my sister, who also graduated with First Class Honours in English Education, is more than I could have prayed for." "Double First Class Honours!"

The post quickly gathered momentum on the platform, drawing over 21,000 views, nearly 700 likes, and more than 50 retweets within a short period. The story was originally reported by Legit.ng, with Oluwadara Adebisi as the Human Interest Editor who joined the outlet in January 2026. Adebisi has over seven years of experience in press release writing and journalism, and graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Food Science and Technology.
