Six Days, Two Wheels, One Mission: Youth Rides to Abuja to Thank Idris HK
In a heartwarming tale of resilience, respect, and cultural pride, a passionate young man from Kogi State, popularly known as Mc Jekabeche, pedaled his way from Ankpa to Abuja on a bicycle just to honor a man he calls a “silent hero.”
The 6-day solo journey, spanning hundreds of kilometers under the blazing Nigerian sun, was not for politics or publicity. It was a deeply personal mission to say “thank you” to Hon. Idris HK, CEO of the popular Crush Café in Gwarinpa and a renowned philanthropist whose impact stretches across the Igala kingdom.

“I did this to celebrate a man who gives without asking for applause,” said an emotional Mc Jekabeche upon his arrival, draped in the Igala flag and greeted by a cheering crowd of Igalas at the gates of Crush Café. “Hon. Idris HK empowers the youth, supports widows, builds boreholes, and sponsors students—he deserves more than silent appreciation.”
Hon. Idris HK, known for his low-key yet powerful acts of kindness, has earned the admiration of many through consistent community support funding healthcare, providing clean water, and backing education initiatives in rural Kogi.
Reacting to the surprise tribute, a visibly moved Idris HK said, “This isn’t just a visit. It’s a powerful reminder that kindness still matters and youth can lead with gratitude. I am humbled beyond words.”
Social media exploded with praise for the symbolic journey, with many describing it as a refreshing narrative of honor in a time often dominated by controversy. A community elder in Ankpa called the act, “youth activism with dignity and purpose.”
Beyond the buzz, Mc Jekabeche says his mission has just begun. He hopes to launch a nationwide movement urging young Nigerians to identify and celebrate grassroots changemakers heroes who work quietly without political titles or media fanfare.
“This ride was for every unsung hero,” he said. “Let’s change the narrative. Let’s honor those building our communities in silence.”
Indeed, through one young man’s pedal-powered tribute, a powerful message was delivered: gratitude is not old-fashioned, and real heroes still walk and ride among us.
