This is very wrong,its not my force everyone should be a university graduate.

Nigeria needs more of skilled manpower than university degrees currently.
I guess you will be happy if your children refuse university education grin grin

Some of those kids are more brilliant than you. The children didn't ask the parents to pray for them. Just that Nigerians and prayers are like twin brothers, wasting of time

I just wonder what's wrong with many parents of nowadays. JAMB Maths now carries JS2 questions, even. Very simplified as compared to way back 2006 when I sat the paper test.

We can't blame govt and God for everything. Drill your child and get the best out of the child

Some hate JAMB cos it carries a sense of transparency as compared to the basket exam called SSCE ( WASSCE & NECO). But it's needed to filter the educational system of much mediocrity
People now easily score as high as 340 in JAMB! Can you imagine that? Yet these parents wouldn't let God rest!

Which holy spirit.. parents that will not discipline their children to study and read their books and prepare for exams...when they are with their children at home.. allowing their children to be playing around and spending more time In social media, TikTok....And
the bible says..Faith without works is dead
You are too carnal

The fact you said which holy spirit: are you a Christian?

Am sure not

But if you are, then you have a long way to go

Nonsensical display of religious fervour.
That's one of the reasons Nigeria is not developing positively.
Imagine a bunch of manipulated people praying for something that had been placed in their hands to achieve.
Tueh! That's why I hate religion with a high degree of passion.

Parents now take their children to JAMB centres? 16-20+ year old's?

...and when they gain admission, the parent will relocate to his/her child's hostel? We are really losing it.

It was a spiritual scene at a Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination centre today as anxious parents turned the waiting area into a makeshift prayer ground. shocked

Dozens of parents, visibly tensed and emotionally invested, were spotted praying fervently—some pacing back and forth, others clasping their hands or even going on their knees—as their children sat inside the hall for the crucial exam that could determine their university admission.

While some muttered quiet prayers under their breath, others openly called on divine intervention, asking for wisdom, remembrance, and calm for their wards.

However, the scene has sparked mixed reactions online. While some netizens criticized the act, calling it public hypocrisy and questioning why such energy isn't directed into academic preparation, others defended the parents, calling it a genuine display of parental love and deep concern for their children's future.

Mummy and daddy, if your child doesn't study hard, if you like pray from now till result comes out, what he answers is what he gets.

Evolutionism:
Ah Swear!

If i ever notice you are a religious person, Exclusive To Nigerians Only. I will distant myself from you. What they are practicing in Nigeria is not Religion but Stupidity, Deception and Wickedness.


The only reason I will stick around such person is i'm benefiting something very Tangible from the person and i will just be playing along.

Nigerians aren't qualified to be called Religious people.
@ bolded

So, you're just as wicked as the people you call wicked; I wonder what we call that?

If you go there now and tell them to come and buy results for their children. 90% of them will be interested if not all. Bunch of hypocrites... Debasing Christianity as a religion.....lazy ok parents begats lady children.....no automatic way to exam success than to read your books very well and understand.

They should not to be blamed entirely because nigeria is a highly religious nation.

They were thought to pray instead to work

It has been indoctrinated in the psyche of an average Nigerian..

They never knew that faith without works is dead

You are ignorant of the vices of the enemy

By strength no man shall prevail
Tinubu is rich, powerful and influential. Successful in all ramifications.

Yes, by God's grace, I and my family will be similar to him.

By God's grace, you and your family will ALWAYS be Opposite. Not similar to him at all. Amen.

It's already manifested in you well enough grin

JAMB should stop parents from coming to the exam center... what nonsense?

When we wrote JAMB parents didn't go with candidates to the center... what is wrong with this generation?

The truth is that you need prayer to survive in Nigeria now oo.

To get to jamb centre safely will take prayer
For your computer to work without klitch Na prayer
For NEPA to give light at the centre . Prayer
For your invigilator to behave like human being Na prayer

For you to survive as a Nigeria , you must be constantly wage prayer war else Nigeria will happen to you ni.
