The competition, specifically designed for children aged 5 to 12, celebrates the spirit of Eid al-Adha through Quran recitation. Adebayo's initiative aims to encourage religious engagement among young Nigerians, while also providing tangible support during the festive season.
In addition to the ram, Adebayo also awarded cash prizes to the second and third-place winners, @hajakaffy and @abiolanurdeen, respectively. This thoughtful gesture comes at a time when many Nigerians are contending with the rising costs of rams and other essential goods, making the festive period financially challenging for some.
Adebayo took to social media to announce the winners, expressing his excitement and appreciation for all participants. "Congratulations to the winners of the #FemiAdebayoIleyaGiveaway2025!" he wrote. "After going through all the amazing entries, I’m excited to announce the winners."
He further detailed the prizes:
- 1st Position: @Sheik_alameen_muhammad. "You’ve won a ram for Ileya! Kindly send your preferred delivery address via DM so we can arrange prompt delivery."
- 2nd Position: @hajakaffy. "Congratulations! Please send your account details to my DM to receive your cash reward."
- 3rd Position: @abiolanurdeen. "Well done! Kindly forward your account details to my DM for your cash prize."
Concluding his message, Adebayo extended a "heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s giveaway." He encouraged continued positivity, adding, "Let’s continue to spread love. Eid Mubarak in advance! Wishing everyone a season filled with happiness and abundant blessings."
