“I am making this video so someone else doesn’t make the mistake I made today…Today was a bad day but everything happens for a reason,” @big_bombay3 said.

He was scheduled to sit for the JAMB exam on Friday, April 19 and was given Comprehensive High School, Aiyetoro, Ogun, as his venue.

However, the lad went to Comprehensive Academy and when he realised his mistake, it was already late.

He got to the correct location and was not allowed in.

“I can feel ur pain bro, happy u said urself dat everything happened for a reason, at the other hand u are to blame urself first.”

“After jamb finishes, they always organize another exam for people that missed their paper before so you don’t need to stay for another year bro… cheer up.”

“You can still register for Jamb. I think Jamb extended their registration date to the 25th(confirm, though). If it’s true, go and register tomorrow.”

“Go to jamb head quarters in your state they might still reschedule for you but you must do this before they finish jamb exam..goodluck.”

Boy in tears after taking UTME

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a boy was videoed crying after leaving the JAMB UTME centre.

@joy_ce32 shared the video of the boy crying on TikTok with the caption, “Result never come out you dey cry like this.”

@joy_ce32 laughed at the lad over his emotional breakdown. While it is unclear what caused the boy to break down that way, assuming it may not be unconnected to his experience during the exam is not out of place.
