Reactions trail man’s 2025 UTME result
Many Nigerians reacted to the post, expressing pain and also questioning the fairness and logic of the admission process.
However, some others opined that the young man may have lost focus along the way, leading to his low aggregate score.
King David said:
“Lmao! You don’t blame the system. Did you ask if the individual used the right combination for the course? And did he upload his O’level to jamb portal. These are common mistakes people make.”
Phelia said:
“What nonsense is this with the age limitation, bringing out underage and underperformed. This isn’t right in a country like this. You would remand such age if it were to be on criminal charges!”
White Superion said:
“Jamb Ineced the result. Many of the high fliers failed this jamb. It’s not his result. Jamb probably had malfunctioned system in order to save face, alloted scores randomly to students.”
Young David said:
“They should make JAMB result valid for at least 2 years. If you’ve passed it before, why should you write it again??”
AdetheCreator reacted:
“Trust me, he’s not the only one. My friends younger brother is going through the same thing. Boy’so brilliant. Scored 281 and now 162 this year.”
Clemz added:
“I believe the major challenge with many candidates in jamb is smartness level. WAEC rewards hard work and JAMB rewards IQ. Questions are multiple choice and options could be similar and the most correct is the right answer. The way you approach jamb is different from WAEC.”
David Orji commented:
“This year’s JAMB exam seems particularly challenging. Candidates who took the exam on the 24th and 26th have reported scores below 200. Please consider reviewing the exam process to ensure fairness for all candidates.”
Super Kenny added:
“Make good use of every opportunity you have, because these are evil days. Don’t be fools, then, but try to find out what the Lord wants you to do.”
