Jamb fukked up with 'your excellency' in their post. You already dignified the attention seeker with the reply and did too much with the bolded.
Oya, go and remove that excellency from his name let's see.

One fact is Tinubu is really letting the whole world knows how much Nigerians are wise and foolish….a friend from Senegal said Nigerians are full of educated ignorants that doesn’t really understand what their right as a citizen of their country is and obviously he is right…when a man that cannot afford 3 square meal at age of 40 is supporting this Apc government because he is either a muslim or Yourba…very pathetic

Baba, Peter Obi met too many schools. In his state, there are so many mission schools existing. Add this to the private schools being built every day by rich individuals and you will know should are too much there.

Obi did the best thing a wise governor will do, stop spending to build new schools, expand and maintain the old ones, build facilities, employ more teachers and pay them well, renovate the schools and hand them over to a unified management.

Of course it yielded maximum benefits. Anambra schools were winning laurels in every exams, local and international competitions.

God bless Peter Obi.
Yeah right winning academic laurels with the institutionalized Anambra miracle centers of cheating and exam malpractices that he funded and left behind that were busted later....I get it

I must be dumb not to have seen it like that grin no wonder teachers and doctors were on strike for almost all the years that he was governor of Anambra state. That too is a great legacy to highlight grin

Progress is when things are better today than yesterday and not the same as yesterday. Progress is when we have found more efficient ways to run society. Na so we suffer am for our time is not a badge of honor. If the world had this mentality, AI will be hidden because some people want the children to suffer how they suffered in their time. We are in 2025 sir.
oga we are in 2025 and jamb has made a lot of progress over the years... Only someone born yesterday will say jamb hasn't made progress

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.
Why should we always stress people because of basic rights in this country, that should be the question

Since it's CBT, jamb can afford to start accreditation or whatever they call it 8am

It is even grouped into sessions, so I see no reason why the exam body will be stressing teenagers again

I see candidates that miss paper and they don't have 6:30am paper that's my point.
I've told you people can miss papers for various reasons. You can imagine many other reasons or at best ask those candidates.

What we can generally agree on is that 6:30am is not just unsafe, but also unfit as far as Present Nigeria is concerned.

Always exercise your 0.2kb worth of brainn na... every exam needs you to be present sometime before it starts. I know your lack of intelligence would want to suggest they start by 12 forgetting the myriad of factors that make that uneasy—for instance, those who have to travel long distance. Besides, most major exams in the world are done in the morning and requires your presence before the exam.

You probably never wrote any professional exam your whole life though, so I won't really blame you.
So you have made a lot of sense here right?😄

Some of ina go just come here dey defend what you don't know

Even with all of these, technical glitches still full everywhere

When are we going to learn how to make life easy for our people sha?

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.
In all your ranting, you carefully left out the time part

Why should you fix an accreditation for an exam at that time given the prevalent security issues in Nigeria

Many towns don't start activities till around 7sef and you want teenagers to be at their centre by 6:30am

How is that a reasonable policy?

Jeez.

This is a poor reply from JAMB; and, PO is very correct!

The country is not safe, even as an adult, I'm careful about going out too early. How can you ask teenagers to leave home by 5:00am or 5:30am to get to exam venues for verification at 6:30am? This is highly insensitive, I must say.

Leaders don't seem to take into account the challenges tormenting the common man on the streets. It's such a shame. So, who would take responsibility if any harm befalls these kids?
Even motor parks now, they don't start that early again cos major towns now start work probably 7

So why on earth should teenagers be asked to go out that early?

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.

Exactly.

Just sad that some people are trying to make this about PO and politics. I'm sure if the observation was made by some other person, the response would have been different.

May God keep all the candidates leaving their homes early safe.

In the first place why does a kid need to travel long distance to write an exam considered a duplicate of the post UTME,in the face of insecurity ….that you even see nothing wrong in it shows how slow you are but have no one to tell you!
That guy is plain stewpid jere

Many of the guys on this space are slow, senseelsss and stewpid at the same time

There are schools at close proximity, why should you take a child to a centre more than 2hours journey to his parents home?

We just like to defend anything defendable here

Lemme give you some education for what your fortitude lack.

Do you expect them to write JAMB in their room with the level of corr**tion that's already seen in WAEC?

Are you aware you have to travel across the international oceans to write some exams, for instance, USMLE III in the US?

Are you aware some universities, like LASU, don't conduct post-UTME, but rely only on JAMB?

Are you aware that if you register early for JAMB, you absolutely don't need to travel at all?

Do you know that because Obi attac*ked JAMB's modus operandi doesn't mean it's faulty— and it might just be another of his usual instances of talking before researching?

Do you know you may be suff*erin g from anencephaly, because you seem to be dev*oid of the abil*ity to rea*son like a liv*ing-thing?

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.
First time hearing Ghana and the USA have JAMB too shocked shocked shocked

Why is Obi and his supporters very daft grin

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.

PresidObi:
I won't reply you. Let me take it you didn't know what happened in this year's JAMB, your comments are so unrelated to the reality of the matter.
There is nothing unrelated. JAMB has consistently improved with his logistics over the years.

I remember the days when you cant buy jamb form online except defunct Afribank with few branches nationwide, there was no online registration and exams were held on same day and time nationwide. Examcards for designated centres were sent by mail to homes by inefficient Nipost. Results could only be obtained by visiting Ikoyi Jamb office or await result slip sent by jamb via inefficient nipost. This was the case even as at the turn of this millenium, meaning as at year 2000. Jamb exam leakage was also endemic.


Talk is cheap and making destructive criticism is easy.

I really laugh at people who talk about phantom good old days in Nigeria, such good old days if any is far and in between. Good old days in Nigeria is either delusion or blind nostalgia.

I repeat JAMB is one of the few government agencies that have made a quantum leap in how it organises its duty, including keeping the exam fee low . In this day and age, there is nothing you should be doing in an ivory tower if basic information as exam starting at 8am can not be determined as different from registration starting at 6:30am.

By knowing your exam centre days in advance, you can plan which if far from your home may even be due to you delaying registration or purposely aiming for special centres.

How is the truth "doing myself". All these years we've been doing JAMB, how has it raised a problem? You and Obi are kuku the same in reasoning... I won't blaame you. Maybe you expect the exam to get done in the afternoon or night like Obi too, not considering students who have to travel far distance. Truth is hatrrreeeddd to obidddients, unless it's from them...

That one will be going around looking for baaadd and saaad news about Nigeria to celebrate. Enemy of progress. Jamb don kuku put am for hin rightful place.

Parents are now lodging their kids a day before exams that's crazy not a sweet thing at all... it's computer based, exams can be spread over a period of time to accommodate everyone
The major problem is the number of centres available to Jamb since it's computer based

My solution would have been to invest more in schools that already show signs of elite structures to have more CBT centres and not just rely on the ones available only

There are lot of more work to be done but we are in a country where criticism always seems like a bad thing

There is no difference between clearance starting at 6.30 am and the accusations that the exam starts by 6.30am They both same as the students needs to be there early which is a disaster considering the security situation of the country.

What is the essence of clearance starting by 6.30am why can't the clearance start by 8am and the exam 9am. Too much illiterates handling sensitive positions and offices in Nigeria.
Bunch of retards.
