One man of Nigerian origin is making waves across social media after it was revealed that he sat for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, exam for 10 years – from 2008 to 2018.
The astonishing truth was posted on X (formerly Twitter) when he replied to a viral post asking how many times users have written the exam, and in his elongated response, the man revealed his score each year from participating in Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
2008: 203 – UniLag.
2009: 242 – UniLag.
2010: 252 – Unilorin.
2011: 275 – Unilorin.
2012: 270 – UI.
2013: 240 – NDA.
2014: 185 – NDA/AFIT (ND).
2015: 216 – NDA.
2016: 237 – NDA (Last Attempt).
2017: D.E (Direct Entry).
2018: 275 – AFIT Kaduna (Cybersecurity).
He said: “Didn’t fail anytime” in great pride as he mentioned that he completed his degree in Cybersecurity.
The news quickly spread online and as expected, it resulted in many reactions all over social media. While others joked here and there about the weird path, many praised his resilience.
Here are some reactions:
@to1uwa: “Why you write 10 times bro? I mean you only failed once.”
@PearlAremu: “Are you now a soldier or an impersonator? Just asking cause I’m in AFIT.”
@godwin_anebi: “JAMB should offer you a plaque of recognition!”
