A prospective university student simply identified as Zainab has committed suicide in the Northern part of the country because she flunked her Jamb exam.

Zainab, who was said to be displeased and embittered with the low score she garnered in the ongoing United Tertiary Matriculation Examination took a bottle of sniper and ended her life

Recall that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday, released the result of 312,157 candidates that sat for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) last Saturday.

Zainab, an ambitious young girl was among the first batch who took part in the computer-based exam. She however, felt disoriented after seeing her Jamb result thus leading her to commit the dastardly act.

Stupid act.

You shouldn't have done that...all the same, may your soul rest in peace

A secondary school girl with this look wanted to pass UTME. better she passed away or continue slaying in grave

Rather sad. Committing suicide at this age is a function of many factors, one of which is societal pressures. A typical Nigerian family is a problem of itself. Rather than see from the angle of what the child can do by himself/herself they, not only dominate the child's decision making life but also lead them to making grave decisions with consequences on their lives. Unfortunately, such persons is left with his/her emotional burdens that may lead to situations like this; castigations, neglect and self isolation. The thinking is suicide. The young lady may have been writing the exam several times, failing with accompanying blames and mates references.. She probably may have promised not fail, now failing the exam and finally leading to her untimely death.
