My Jamb Experience IV
JAMB RESULT:
I closed an eye as the result checker page was
loading. So many things were running
through my mind at a time.
What if i failed? No! I cant.
What if i didnt get the up to 200? Its still
failure!
Just then the light went off. Ha! Nepa why are
you adding to my heart attack.
"Bros you go come back oh" the attendant
said. I wanted to know my fate quicker then i
decide to try another Cafe but i saw a lot of
Crowd and it seemed like it will take eternity
before it gets to my turn as the server was
even very slow.
I decided to wait a little and see people's
result to judge the year's overall performance.
"242", "215", "208".... Those were the scores.
Very good results but my mind wasnt at rest
because i know i didnt do well.
Just then i saw "078" i looked around to
locate the owner i didnt even notice the guy
had walked pass me. He was just heading
towards the main road, he was no longer
himself as he was moving head's down
without minding vehicles coming towards
him.
"Piiiiiim Piiiiiimmm" the vehicles honked
loudly yet this guy didnt seem to hear. The
noise distracted us and we found out the guy
was the owner of the result.
The shock from the poor result had made him
a sudden walking corpse. People around
rescued him and mad him sit for a while,
when he finally gained conciousness he said
he has done and failed Jamb 6 good times.
I could no longer contain myself, this time
around i closed both eyes as the results were
coming.
Use of English - 68
Chemistry - 26
Biology - 44
Maths - 56
Aggregiate - 194
I wish i could add "6" more marks to the
score. I couldnt cry.
The day was a different one entire. I
developed fever instantly, i couldnt eat well,
my throat became bitter and i started
shivering like someone dropped in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean.
Many thoughts came to my mind, abi i should
run away? or i should go and hide 1st? or i
should tell mummy i didnt see my result?.
What will i do?
I was the point of discussion, subject of
matter and example of nemesis for every
event that took place in the house for the
whole month.
P.C.E wasnt an option because Medicine was
on my mind like many other Science Students
even though i was adviced by that my sister's
friend who turned out to be my enemy to sit
for the exam but i turned down the advice.
No more footballs, No more games and my
mummy's anger grew day by day most
especially when she hear of Post-Ume and her
son is at home nursing the serious injuries
sustained by a deadly jamb blow.
Ha! Jamb slapped me and it was hot i mean
very hot that i started thinking of the best
way to prevent staying at home with mummy.
I drafted a plan.....

Life After Jamb

My Jamb Experience III
JAMB DAY:
I slept earlier that cold friday night because i was tired after going through that long journey.
"Kukurukuuuuu" Johnny crowed. Johnny was my favourite cock of all the fowls i keep. I love Johnny specially because of its rapid growth and specie.
I quickly checked the clock, it was 5:30am i woke mummy up and my siblings for morning devotion. The devotion was unusually quick because of my exams. I was given special prayers.
I dressed up and did all necessary things before dashing out. My slip, pencil and calculator all in a Clear Bag.
I was amazed to see many people outside rushing to their exam centres. I joined the next bus and got the centre around 7:30am. I was looking very serious. I wasnt afraid nor nervous but that pride was still clearly visible in every single step i took.
I looked around and saw many students, i seemed to be shortest and smallest, so many "bros" and "aunties" attaching "Micro-Chip" to various parts of the body like slippers, under the belt and other places. I just looked at them and saved my comment for later.
I headed straight to the entrance to get searched. The scanner caught my phone which i brought in order to call my mum if i missed the way. I gave it to the security man to keep for me and went straight to the classroom.
The seats were nicely arranged. It was a big hall that contained 16 chairs per roll. After every 5 column, a board was placed in the middle to divide it into sections.
"014" i quickly confirmed my number and took my seat on the already numbered chairs.
Answer sheets were shared followed by Question papers.
I said a little prayer, not that i was afraid but just to obey mum's order.
"Use Of English" was the first i attempted. I adjusted my "bom bom" to sit more comfortably. I opened the paper and started reading the comprehension, my words per minute was superb. I read faster than the speed of light, i jumped to the questions, read it, returned to the comprehension and read again.
Within few minutes, i finished the 1st comprehension passaged. I gave out a loud laugh and the invigilator cautioned me.
I did the same thing to the 2nd Comprehension passage.... I gave Use of English a knock out in no time.
Oya enter Biology, first 10 questions were damn simple, 11th question was a bit confusing, i skipped it, 12, 14, 18, 22, i was looking worried because the options looked alike.
I decided to turn over to Chemistry (My most hated subject) imagine medical student oh! The first 2 questions were on mixtures and matter. I started skipping again, infact i deserved an award for the rate of skipped questions per seconds.
"003" "055" "032" "015" i was waiting to hear "014" but the invigilator didnt call my number as she was giving out small pieces of paper to the seat numbers she called.
That was exactly 1 hour after we started, the hall was becoming noiser, the tempo rose, grumbling here and there, there were serious erasing of answer sheets, i was still wondering. I checked from the guy behind me and found out what the invigilator gave out was Micro Chip.
I looked over the next class and found out that the Alhaja invigilator was bringing out hers from her Veil (Ijab). "Bros which one you want?" the guy asked me.
I didnt even utter a word and skipped the frustrating Chemistry to solve some Maths (My wrong subject). The first was fraction, gbam!, 2nd was bodmas gbam!, i solved the 1st 15 questions and my morale of pride came back and once more i felt like a Jamb super star.
"Skipping" came in again, this time around i was under intense pressure. Only a Themo-couple could be used to measure my temperature. I was feeling hot like someone sitting on a bread oven.
The sweat from my body could fill 2 paint plastics. Infact the sweats were coming from my hand and leg only while my face looked smooth as ever.
"30 mins more" it was like a bomb shell in my ear, at this point i was totally confused if to turn to the diagrams in Biology, the Chemical equations in Chemistry or the Hardest Questions in Maths.
I randomly shaded the blank spaces and submitted when the woman shouted "Pencils up". I prayed again but this time no words came. I didnt even know when i got to the last bus-stop missing all the adventures. No time for jokes or high shoulders but to await the results of my pride and unseriousness in a week time...
