G0odharddick: I can bet my balls that if the exam is to reconducted again today, they'll still get below 199
Over confident made these students to fail.
Those that got 250+ , 300+, did they have two head? Abi was it someone in JAMB office that gave them the score?
Bro, it's not like that. Honestly, the mental stress they subjected these candidates to was too much and quite unnecessary. How can you be conducting exam as early as 6:30am and most of these students come from very distant places. It's very wrong.na systemic error/breakdown. Even prof. Oloyede realized that. Little wonder why prof was shedding tears and apologizing to those affected – over 1 million candidates. About 75%
Glimpsetv: A trending video of a Nigerian man who got married virtually to his bride living abroad has sparked widespread reactions online.
In the video, the groom is seen dressed in traditional wedding attire, seated beside a framed photograph of the bride placed on a chair next to him. The event hall was beautifully decorated to resemble a typical wedding reception, with a large crowd in attendance.
A female MC, who anchored the ceremony, showed the bride joining the wedding live via an online video call. Holding the bride’s photo frame, guests danced joyfully in celebration—just like at a typical Nigerian wedding.
Reacting to the unusual wedding, many viewers questioned why the bride appeared so casually dressed, while others expressed shock and curiosity about this modern wedding approach.
Following a nationwide outcry over widespread failure in the recently concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set Thursday, May 15, 2025, to review the examination’s conduct and results comprehensively, SaharaReporters has learned.
The decision follows mounting pressure from education stakeholders, parents, and civil society groups, which have condemned candidates' dismal performance in this year’s exam.
SaharaReporters had reported that JAMB received a formal request from a law firm, John Nwobodo & Associates, demanding the release of 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) questions and answers for over 1.5 million candidates who scored below 200.
This followed concerns over the examination’s unprecedented failure rate, which saw more than 70% of candidates scoring under the pass mark 200.
The law firm, which said it represents the 1,534,654 candidates, raised the alarm about potential discrepancies in the results, suggesting a possible malfunction in JAMB’s software.
According to the firm, the candidates' scores varied significantly, ranging from below 100 to between 160 and 199, with some of the lowest performers raising doubts over the examination's integrity.
In an official circular dated May 13, 2025 and addressed to Mr. Alex Onyia, CEO of Lagos-based education technology firm EDUCARE, JAMB extended an invitation to join a newly constituted panel tasked with auditing the entire conduct of the 2025 UTME.
“In furtherance of the commitment of the Board to achieve public confidence in its processes, especially against the backdrop of the recent outcry in some quarters following the release of the 2025 UTME results, the Management of the Board has approved your participation to be part of the review panel constituted to appraise the conduct of the examination with the mandate to identify challenges, if there are any, and proffer relevant recommendations to prevent a recurrence," the letter read.
The circular, signed by Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, also noted that the panel is scheduled to convene on Thursday, May 15, 2025, and will include key players in Nigeria’s education sector.
It further read, "The membership of the Review Panel includes All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Chief External Examiners, Computer Professionals of Association of Nigeria (CPN), Educational Assessment & Research Network, Vice Chancellors of Universities, Rectors of Polytechnics, Provosts of Colleges of Education, and other support staff of the Board attached to the Panel."
JAMB made it clear that the participation of panel members would be “at no cost to the Board”.
This dramatic U-turn comes just days after JAMB initially defended the poor results, insisting they reflected the candidates' “true academic abilities” and denying any wrongdoing.
However, with social media flooded with testimonies of system crashes, delayed exam starts, and alleged computer malfunctions during the test, public trust in the integrity of the process has eroded rapidly.
This one don go flex na. They will never learn. You never talk one finish, gbam! another one wan happen. I pray she comes back home, safe and mentally sound.
God1000: Honestly DNA test should be made compulsory, and after child birth government should make it free or reduce the cost, they should pass it into law as a criminal offense
In many families today men are just foster fathers.
Gabrielshow24: One thing, I have come to know in this life is that you can never satisfy everyone. If the man doesn't have money it's a problem 🤨, when he doesn't touch her, it's also a problem🤨. Everything these days can be weaponized as a problem 👀. How can I work to provide and my wife will be worrying me with "emotional dramas" related to sex after producing two already? Is it sex that will provide food on the table? It's just a fleeting desire! These women are not like our mothers that their husbands will not touch for over six years and still they won't cheat, neither will they throw tantrums👀. Modern women and sex are like five and six🤨.
shumuel: Yeah, something like that but I think Thuraya is a Satellite phone, don't know if that is the same frequency those cellular phones operated on in those days, but they existed, replica models were Toys in the early 90, toys that sings "Hello, can i help you"
haybhi1: If Okocha is not promoting betting among the youths, Obi would be traveling around the world granting interviews that disparage the country. Obasanjo would use all chance he gets to water down the country, while looking to build multimillion $$ farm project in Cameroon (although, I hold that any one spend his money as he like sha)...
Anyone who still does any good for this nation, especially from afar, I respect them. Kudos to Osimhen, Oshoala, Adeyemi of Dortmund, David Alaba, Anthony Joshua... I've seen these guys spend their money to do things for this nation...
It shall always be well with you all.
Any day I get chance to be as wealthy, Nigerians nearby go too enjoy from me.
joromii: It'd be nice if these guys can play 1 or 2 seasons with the local league before they retire. Even if they don't score goals or make impact. Just use their influence. But the local league has to be upgraded too. Cause how you go put osimhen inside Coaster bus from Benin to Owerri. Imagine Iwobi gats come down push bus
