Purely utter mockery.

My son was billed to take the 7am exams.
It was story story till nearly 7 pm when they were all asked to go home without writing the exam. About 450 students in all. They told them a rescheduled date would be communicated.
It was a show of shame in Abuja

Students from far and near went to their different jamb exam centers to write the mock exams today.

The exam was supposed to be in two batches.
There was a batch A that was slated for7 am and candidates were expected to have been seated by 6:30 am, then there was the 9 am batch and the candidates were also expected to have been in their centers by 8:30 am.
I actually took my daughter to the CBT professional test centre at bwari FCT not few metres away from the JAMB head office here In Abuja, that was her center.
It was an annoying situation when even as at 12:30 pm the candidates that were billed for the 7am exams had not started.

Parents that were waiting for their children became apprehensive and couldn't just understand what the delay was about.
Most of the children had not eaten and some parents had actually done drop off with the mind of coming later for their ward.

Most of the children that had been dropped off, had no money, phones or even food because they felt they could endure whatever hunger until after the exams.

At about 12:40pm, 3 coaster buses drove into the centre and the staff and security personnel at the centre began to direct some of the children to get on the buses.
In the process, some parents raised alarm and began to shout even as they wondered at the rationale behind such action.
At a point some of the children that had seen parents yelling at them to get off the buses, quickly did.

Meanwhile before then, no body not a even staff came out to address the waiting parents as to what was really going on, and when parents asked them, all they were told was that network was slow thereby affecting "thumb printing", for 6 hours?

It was at the point when parents were yelling at the gate that the Registrar of Jamb drove in with 3 Hilux trucks of security men armed to the teeth.

He grudgingly stepped out to address the parents because they compelled him to.
Before then, parents had begun to look for snacks and drinks for their children who had started complaining of hunger. They kept on coming to the gate to talk and complain to their parents, because they were not in the exam hall, but under a makeshift tent.
Some were even feeling sleepy and tired after staying up late to read at night.

The Registrar with every sense of pomposity told us that we were breaking the law because we came close to the gate to give our hungry children food and drinks.
It's not as if they made any provisions for the children o.

We were even expecting him as a father to sympathize with the children and beg them for understanding being their fault that their systems were not working.

When he said that, all hell let loose.
Parents began to scream at him out of anger, because we were expecting some kind of explanation or even apologies. Instead he told us that we should not have come close to the gate.

I asked him how we would have been able to pass on the food items to our children, and that if they had done the right thing, there would not have been any reason for parents to come close to the gate.
At that question, he began to ramble and tell us stories of network failure and all those annoying lies.

He subsequently told us that the second batch were to get on the buses and go and write the exam in jamb office.

A parent asked how the children will come back to the original center they were posted and he swore that the buses will bring them back

To cut the story short, the exams actually started at 3:45pm and ended at 5:30pm.

And the shocker we received was that those children that were taken to the jamb office had to trek all the way back to their former center, except for those that their parents took them their with either bikes or vehicles.

I don't know when we will get it right in this country.
Ordinary mock jamb in FCT..
So how would it be in other states and local government areas?.

It keeps getting worse every year.
And those children came out of the center broken, dissolutioned, and frustrated. You could see the children that were all fired up in the morning, and ready to do justice to the Mock exam, coming out very cold and troubled.

I have said it, let us go back to the days of shading with HB pencil abeg
It's not worth it.
We can't seem to get any thing right in this country.

The current JAMB registrar has only succeeded in making more money for the govt....JAMB is now a mess!
Technology is meant to make life easier but not in Nigeria; ordinary to make corrections in data entry after submission is problem. Students will register in their locality, you'll throw them to far away place for the exam. I just don't get it!

@Mummyfour

I was among Jamb staffs. It's not thumb printing anything. Jamb is no longer using autobot jamb software they used last year. They are now using Custom browser.

Now they didn't inform Jamb centres of this latest development until a day before the mock exam when they came to run dummy test.

There were flaws in the software because the one developed for 32bit operating system was not working. Even the 64 bit system only run on Windows 10 with latest Java installed. All these things where discovered on ground on the mock day. We closed by 10:30pm because we were trying to understand how the software runs. Even on the mock day, any centre that didn't start exactly the stipulated time by jamb will be automatically rescheduled to afternoon which likely played out here.

It was later in the day that we were told to use latest chrome browser to login using our server IP for each candidates system. It was hell. I Blame Jamb HQ for testing new innovation on ground instead of within.

grin you really dodge the bomb o

My daughter refused to go home when I saw that it wasn't going to end well. She said "mummy we have come all these far, we spent money for the mock, you had to queue for fuel before today,so we could get here, and besides since we have waited this long don't worry about me, I will be fine, I will wait" grin

I just dey look her.

As she later finished and came out, the next thing she was shouting was "mummy food, I am hungry, this is not buns or puff puff hunger o, but food hunger"
Every one around us that heard her burst into laughter.
It was a sort of comic relief.

One man just pointed one "food is ready" grin grin canteen to me out of sympathy for her, and another man asked me if I had cash to pay for the food that he would assist us. I told them thanks and gave my daughter the correct beans and bread i went back home to arrange for her, shortly after they began to write the exams and since my house was like 30-40 minutes away from the center

But those people that tried to come to my aid in getting her food,made me know we still have good Nigerians out there

A parent asked how the children will come back to the original center they were posted and he swore that the buses will bring them back

To cut the story short, the exams actually started at 3:45pm and ended at 5:30pm.

And the shocker we received was that those children that were taken to the jamb office had to trek all the way back to their former center, except for those that their parents took them their with either bikes or vehicles.

I don't know when we will get it right in this country.
Ordinary mock jamb in FCT..
So how would it be in other states and local government areas?.

It keeps getting worse every year.
And those children came out of the center broken, dissolutioned, and frustrated. You could see the children that were all fired up in the morning, and ready to do justice to the Mock exam, coming out very cold and troubled.

I have said it, let us go back to the days of shading with HB pencil abeg
It's not worth it.
We can't seem to get any thing right in this country.
Ordinary computer based test?

The agenda to fully ridicule education in Nigeria is now in full force. With time, people will not see the need to take their kids to school as a result of this type of frustration. Wtf

Let's tell ourselves the truth, Nigeria is nothing but a jungle. Nothing is really working again in the so called giant of Africa. Anyone that still believes in Nigeria needs to have his or her head examined.

Even government in Nigeria does not obey the law. I thought the Saraki assembly passed into law that UTME results will be valid for three years. How come that is not the case? Every year,students have to rewrite even if they passed the previous year.

I still don't know how a country that has no steady power supply wants to start doing everything online. I know students who "failed" the post-UTME of a federal university because the IT system suddenly shut down at the commencement of the exam. Shame!

Lol. Sorry OP! You have just only pointed out the inefficiency, inadequacy and inhumanity in our systems as a Nation. Sadly, too your kids like others were victims. That is why we have been saying, one way or another; e go touch everybody las las since we don't want a country that works. If Nigeria doesn't work, we will all pay the price. You may be a political strategist or propagandist but you're contributing to the decay of our institutions by defending illegalities.

Yet, many were expecting magic - for INEC to have over 170,000 polling units results all uploaded at the same time.

We're funny in this country.
stop supporting evils
