I just came across the official results from JAMB showing the recent exam figures.
According to the data shared, a total of 1,955,069 candidates sat for the exam.
Shockingly, out of this number, only about 420,000 candidates scored above 200, while over 1.5 million scored below 200.

This means that over 78% of the total candidates failed to meet the 200-mark threshold — a reflection of the deep-rooted challenges in our educational system.

The latest JAMB results once again highlight the consequences of decades of underinvestment in education, a sector that should be central to our national development strategy.

Currently, Nigeria's total university enrollment stands at approximately 2 million students. By comparison, the National University of Bangladesh — a single university — has over 3.4 million students enrolled, despite the country having only about 75% of Nigeria’s population. One university in Bangladesh surpasses the entire university enrollment in Nigeria.

Bangladesh, which once lagged behind Nigeria in virtually every measurable development index, now surpasses us in all key areas of development and in the Human Development Index (HDI).

Similarly, Turkey, with a population of about 87.7 million people, has over 7 million university students — more than three times Nigeria’s total university enrollment.

I have consistently said it: education is not just a social service; it is a strategic investment. It is the most critical driver of national development and the most powerful tool for lifting people out of poverty.

We must now invest aggressively in education — at all levels — if we are serious about building a prosperous, secure, and equitable Nigeria.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Peter Obi knows everything about the problems of Nigeria and has practical, simple and logical solutions for them.
Look at the way he articulated all his points in an organized manner.
He understands the sequence of applications and the expected results. This is what it means to be visionary; his brain is always active, constantly running in simulation mode. No wonder he’s a billionaire without corruption money....a worthy role model for younger generations who are now lost in the erroneous belief that the only path to riches is through criminal activity and the theft of public funds as exemplified by the current charlatan occupying the office of the president. Then there are the brainless bigots who have been programmed to suffer under captivity, bound by tribal sentiments.

Nigeria is too blessed to be broken.
With our wealth of natural and human resources, Nigerians should have no business with poverty, insecurity, hunger or hopelessness.

But for too long, we’ve left our future in the hands of those who see politics as a means to undeserved riches not a responsibility.
That ends now with Peter Obi.

He may not have done things that Anambra can applaud him off while he was governor but , I believe he'll out perform this current administration if he win presidential election..
