Good man, I know only you have enough conscience to state the obvious. A young Nigerian girl was abducted in Lagos by unknown persons because of this JAMB inefficiency. Thank God she was found safely.

This is the president we voted for, a man with empathy, a man with vision, a man that loves everyone and can give us the best of governance.

God bless you more, Peter Obi.
But he didn't have the conscience or vision to build a single school nursery, primary or secondary or tertiary schools as governor of Anambra state for 8 years that he was governor. Such a person can only be presidential candidate of shallow minded people

What is Jamb defending? shocked

Young kids are posted to different local Governments where they don't know anyone and yet you are setting exams so early.

Why make children lodge in hotels due to distance in order to meet up the time,someone living in Uyo and jamb exam centre is in Abak also have to be seated before 8am as claimed by jamb, when will he/she set out?..
There's a very large number of educated illiterates in this country??
I doubt you wrote jamb. During our days too we woke up and set out as early as 5am. Na new thing or you want to play politics

So, the verification that should start by 6:30 AM is not part of the exam? Or, that one is not being conducted by the same JAMB? JAMB admitting that it scheduled verification to start by 6:30 AM proves Obi right.
Ok, you want to conduct an exam for like 250 students by 8am and you need to start with verification... What time should the students arrive at the venue sir? Even when we wrote PPT jamb, we dey comut house like 5am go venue because you won't see bike or car to take you to d venue because of the crowd

obviously, you lack knowledge on how things work, but I'll try to cure some of it.

1. I agree that they should have kept quiet because Obi has always shown his ignnorrance and slowness by talking before researching.
2. A. If you must study abroad as a Nigerian, it's absolutely impossible without a WAEC. B. Foreigners study here without JAMB too, just WAEC. They are littered in our universities. (P.S. you prolly didn't pass WAEC so bereft on the idea of its importance).
3. You're the only one not thinking, alonside your crass ignnorannce. Every country has its regulating bodies for examination and there are exams you must be in the country to do, e.g. USMLE III. One of the inefficacy or laxity in exam regulations is why you see UK lamenting of the frauud in Nursing exams on FP the other day.
4. JAMB might have been too difficult for you to pass because you sound far from a brillllliannt human, but it's definitely not frrauud. It's the only pre-university exam, indeed, in Nigeria that's not aduultterated. Na either your braaiin or luck. Unlike WAEC, JAMB has no special centres, so ollooddos like you have to study hard, lest you prefer to keep lamennting.
5. Nigeria isn't wastting youth. That's a liiee.
6. The best way to strengthen our pre-university education system must always include strengthening JAMB with more exam centres, so students don't have to travel too far.

So Paul, think and research before talking online, not everyone is as shortssighhted, man.
Nice points.

Too many abusive words though.

I totally agree with the last point. It's critical. I hope JAMB will do something about it in the future. Prof Oloyede said something on that a while back.

8:00am it's too early. 9:00am would have been better sha.

Peace

Bolded part is the major reasons for Nigeria setbacks....

We are not critical thinkers as we present ourselves to be...

We don't analyze risk before implementation... We implement finish before considering the risky part... That's after damages already occured....

Senseless ,careless and free thinkers roaming the country anyhow..!

How many hours are they writing the exam that they had to start at 8? Even professional exams (such as ICAN) don't start by 8am. That is a very high level of recklessness, and they should be ashamed to even post that response. They should be held accountable for any mishap involving any child. But of course, this is Nigeria, and everything is politics.

Give wine to the handler if any of your relatives fall victim because they had to write an entry-level exam!

They need to dash the person handling the jamb page a bottle of wine. He handled it professionally even though he admitted that clearance starts by 6:30am. Which is still early.
Is this the best way you think?

They made a fo.ol of themselves with this response.

Why the need for scattering children all over in the name of Exam? How many countries still use the method of JAMB or why is WAEC there in the first place?

This jamb, is it really useful?

Schools should have a standard set by the education ministry/board, and set their exams. Jamb is a waste of public funds.

This is pure lie from Jamb. I took my Son to the jamb center and because his paper was 6:30AM, I have to lodge him in an hotel a day before the exam. Believe me, I saw student been turned back when it was 8AM when the exam has started. They checked them in at 6:45AM.

JAMB should have just kept quiet, it's not everything you respond to. You'll only draw more attention to yourself. I 2025, examinations should not be this difficult. These kids can see how their mates abroad take exams. It's not a do or die affair. In the first place, we don't need JAMB.

Have you ever thought about how it's easier to gain admission from a school abroad than a school in Nigeria? Why do you need JAMB after WAEC? Why is the JAMB of Ghana or USA not telling you to travel to their country to write exams first? Aren't we thinking? If you are interested in a school, you don't need JAMB as a feeder to pass you to the schools you're interested in. The universities knew the fraud JAMB is, that's why they started post-UTME. Stop giving these kids too many exams.

Let JAMB join WAEC or find something to give them. Nigeria is losing its youth by bringing JAMB into the university admission process. See the way kids get admission into 5-6 schools in US? There is a system that those universities trust to help them and they give you admission letter. Let's strengthen the process from the foundation and admit that JAMB is unnecessary. The countries around us, Benin, Ghana and all of them have seen market in Nigeria's misrery which we have invited upon ourselves.
You're very correct, many universities in the US, you don't need IELT, SAT or GMAT and you'll get admission with just WAEC and even scholarship. We can do better

So Jamb just openly admitted Obi was right. Lol whoever was handling that handle should have kept shut on this matter. They have shot them selves metaphorically on the leg on this case. Wisdom is not the abundance of what to say and how to say it, it is when and to whom to say it to.

It is not impossible to study abroad without waec. Colleges and Universities in many countries have pre- degree subjects, usually takes a semester to complete. Once you get the required minimum, you'll be admitted.
