Boy hospitalised over performance in UTME
The TikTok user, @big_ellaa7, posted a heartbreaking clip showing her brother looking visibly shattered in a hospital.
According to her, her brother’s hopes were dashed when he checked his JAMB scores, leading to a severe anxiety attack that needed immediate medical attention.
The family had reportedly pinned high hopes on the student’s academic performance, with the young man himself studying intensively for the examination.
Having scored 289 in the previous year’s attempt, he had apparently been confident of improving his results this time around.
However, the outcome proved devastating, leaving the student under immense pain and disappointment.
His sister also expressed worry that the poor UTME results might be taking a toll on students’ mental health.

In her words:
“My brother after seeing his JAMB score. He had an anxiety attack. He was rushed to the hospital. He studied like his life depended on it. After he wrote the exam, he came back so full of joy because he felt he answered them correctly.
“I just hope this failure isn’t done intentionally because it’s messing up these children’s mental health. 2025 JAMB did him dirty. Get well soon my love. I no fit ask person wey de hospital wetin him score shaa, when he gets better. I just know it’s very bad for him to have that anxiety attack. He scored 289 last year, I just de wonder this year own.”
