ekwah: The answer is staring at you in the face: Laziness/poor teachers. Most Nigerian Kids don't even prepare well for this exam at all. They just enroll in some shabby pre-jamb lesson, do very little practice and expect some 'mana' to rain on them during the exam.
Most depend solely on malpractice sef. How you go pass? When u fit even know the answer to most of the questions pass some of the people wey dey solve and send to you sef

I didn't have good teachers too but I solved all the Jamb past questions from 1978-2008 for the four subjects I took. I was more than well prepared when I took mine and yeah it paid off big time.

These students should just stop being lazy.

Umartins1: Before you can comment on this thread, you have to be one of the below

(1. A Jambite

2. have a bro or sis that did Jamb

3. Have a child that wrote Jamb's Utme

4. Works in Jamb office.

If you're an exemption to the afore-listed conditions, bet it with me, your comment wont make sense. It will be invalid. You can't know the real grieveance of the candidates. You can't know what we're fighting for.


Let JAMB import marking guide from Hell produced by the Lucifer himself, there's no way I'm gonna get 45 in Maths and 174 as aggregate! I say this with plain honesty. I'm a pre degree student of FUTA and not the dull type. What made me opted for PDs is to boost my chance of gaining admission cos I've attempted JAMB thrice but admission has never come true. Now listen, when I did my first JAMB, I was unserious, unconcerned about what I wanted to do. Still I scored 239! My second attempt, 248 and third 250. I was just denied admission because I don't know ANYONE as Nigerians say. Now, here we are, this year, I scored 174. How the hell did that came about? Am I declining or waxing? My question paper which contained my workings and answers had been marked by my lecturers and their conclusion was that I shouldn't score less than 290!

Enough of the ass-kicking stories.

This year's Utme is still what I can call the simplest ever. Yet, the scores didn't justify our inputs. And this paved way for some simpleton to accuse of inadequate preparation. Kai! How I wish I've a gun to shoot these people! This is something that can never happen overseas. Awarding of scores randomly is a big blow to our Nation's educational sector. Instead of addressing this issue, some mother£uckers say we failed because of too much access to internet.

Now, this is the question I wanna ask. Isn't this the same Exam I've been doing since 2010? Or, has the marking scheme changed?

Oyedoyinmichael: thanks bro.I had d7 in maths but i wanted to go for economics and i was advised to change later and go for pol. Science for now

Osama10: This is just a part of the total system failure we are experiencing in naija today coupled with social networking.


Most students don't study anymore & it would get worse in years to come.

Umartins1: .

Umartins1: My heart keeps being offended as I read more and more of 'they were not serious. Most of them were after expo and always pinging'.

May my God punish everyone saying this. How long will you ppl get this into your brain that

WE DID NOT FAIL BUT THEY FAILED US?

a few of the candidates claimed they independently did the exam themselves, but the results still didn't meet their desired score.

jmichael: Hmmm...since d advent of social ntwrks, I must say dat moral decadence and academic unseriousness have heightened. .......I laf...... wen ......I see....... a secondary school girl probably in jss3 using a blackberry! My cousin in ss2 changes ha dp almost every minute. Look, u cant eat ur cake and have it. Dese kids shld knw dat regardles of hw bad d economy has turned, nobdy wil b blamed for wateva misfortune dat bfalls dem. I am nt surprised, to say d least, of d generally poor performance dis year. Sumtime 2months ago, I was less busy so took up a .........lesson teacher job in a jamb lesson.......... I must say dat for d little time I spent on d job, I was rly baffled by d open show of unseriousness by d students. D ladies wit all sorts of colours on dia faces and lips, some .......wia skimpy....... and provoking outfits

Someone like you will blame JAMB for giving you 22 in English. Social media is hiding your poor grasp of English

Umartins1:

Umartins1:
I went through what he wrote and couldn't find any error. Pidgin English has no rule guiding it. You can do us a little help by faulting him out.

ola_pluto:
Thank goodness you're not a marker at JAMB.

Umartins1:
you're still yet to do what you're required of. Pidgin English has no rule guiding it!

ola_pluto: Obviously the teaching standard is dropping, the students arent putting enough efforts in. Lets be honest with ourselves, the number of intelligent students in Nigeria is dropping. This is evident even here on Nairaland. Strange that less than 20 people in the whole of Nigeria got over 300. That's a shame. I think I got 257 and wanted medicine in Ife. My parents said I had to sit at home to prepare well till I got better marks enough to merit a place. I guess most students are being offered options which cut corners on excellence. This should not be the case.
All of you who have failed this year should be made to practice for another year, reapply for JAMB, and take the exam again. If you fail, keep trying.

ola_pluto:
You've stayed on this topic all day trying to justify your failure. If you were sensible, you would have started looking for past papers, remove yourself from nairaland and start solving those past papers.
It is rather shameful that most of you who failed jamb have stayed on this topic all day trying to console your failure. It was a bad read when your results were being dropped. It's even more pathetic your responses to failure.
