Omoluabi Parapo Conservative, a Yoruba group, has reacted to the result scandal, which has been a major concern about the administration of the 2025 UTME examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in recent weeks.

While the agency has acknowledged a technical glitch affecting the release of results, the group said the issue of regional disparity in how this glitch affected candidates has not been addressed. It, however, demanded a public investigation and equitable compensation for candidates from the Southwest region.

“Reports reaching us — and independently verified through numerous testimonies — indicate that Lagos State alone accounts for nearly 80% of the candidates affected. The majority of these students are of Yoruba descent. This deeply troubling development raises the possibility of either gross negligence or a systemic failure with ethnic implications.

“As a body committed to justice, youth advancement, and the protection of Yoruba interests, Omoluabi Parapo Conservative OPC is compelled to speak on behalf of our community. The silence surrounding this issue cannot be allowed to persist,” the group said in a statement signed by Aderonke Okeleye and Paul Arowolo, chairman and secretary, respectively.

Presenting its demands, Omoluabi Parapo Conservative called on JAMB and the Federal Ministry of Education to immediately initiate a transparent and independent investigation into the nature of this technical glitch, especially why its impact was so disproportionately concentrated in Lagos.

The group also demanded equitable compensation for candidates from the Southwest region who participated in the 2025 UTME.

“We demand that all affected candidates in Lagos and other parts of the Southwest be automatically granted special admission consideration, including a reduction in cut-off marks where necessary. These young people must not be punished for a failure they did not cause,” the statement added.

Funny

This demand is fair enough. I would have initially love them to ask JAMB to give every affected SW candidate 390 scores because of the emotional trauma they caused them because SW are the most impacted from the technical glitch.

But unconditional admission is good too. The IT people in JAMB are purposely sabotaging SW by failing more people in the SW and adding just few from SE to make it look like general problem.

Somebody has to pay the price for the glitch and the exam reorganized again for all candidates. That's fairness.

This is highly commendable. JAMB should issue admission to every Yoruba children affected by the glitch.

JAMB should also name their Abuja office after Miss Opesusi Faith Timilehin who lost her life due to their error. Also, her family should be compensated with the sum of 10 billion naira and give her relative automatic job slot in JAMB.

Nope, not all candidates.

They should reorganize it only for people that score below 200 or better still make it a voluntary process where candidates willingly sign up to retake the exam.

This should apply to every part of Nigeria.

madridguy:

Before I was like they should demand 390 scores for all SW candidate. If Ohanezey Ndebo can demand 340, then Oduduwa group should demand 390.

They also need to call for the sack of the entire IT wing of Jamb including the previous IT guy who facilitated the new system.

They should ask for free education while their kinsman sow chaos in other region.

Ok. Sounds like a good option. However, someone has to take the bullet for this to prevent such a thing from repeating again.

I have modified my post and I want you to push it to the right authority for review.

The JAMB issue is a inside job to sabotage the effort of Prof. Ishaq. I am always sad our DSS are just too soft in issues like this. Believe me a serious intelligent agency by now will be ontop of the matter.

Its a national security threat, we lost a young girl over this and the DSS are doing nothing yet.

Some students are sitting as we speak and rewriting the exams. What's the problem with repeating the exams?

Yes, the people in the IT department should take the fall. It is intentional sabotage to spoil the name of the Jamb registrar who have been stellar all these years.

Full audit should be done to verify if there is no intentional sabotage.

See village tactics. The ogoro was targeted at Igbos and we all know that. Simply claiming wrong figures to manipulate public opinion will not work.

Even in Lagos State, more than the 50% affected is likely Igbos/Ijaw/Efik/Ibibio and few Yorubas

All these loud mouthed people haven't even demanded for the sack of the agbaya who was crying on telly after causing the death of their sister due to his ethnic idiocy.

They will be here asking for Mark's they didn't get while the people who passed are already being made to rewrite an exam they were forced to fail.

You are very correct bro. This seems like an intentional sabotage.

The person keeled two birds with a stone. Soil the reputation of Prof. Oloyede, then purposely fail the largest number of candidate from the South West.

If not sabotage, why does this affect the South West more in terms of number?

If it’s targeted at the Iboos, why then will the South West have the highest number of impacted candidates?

Can you answer that?

If there should be a sack, the head must take the fall first, then they should investigate all other people involved. The head was rotten, and an investigation will prove that he has been doing this for years. He was just caught this time around.

Why does Jamb haete Yoruba people. How can they fail this much Yoruba people, what is our sinn.

I even think this has been happening for years, thank Olodumare that we detect it this time around.

SW governors should collectively sue jamb for 500billion damages.

No Southwest State was affected. It's Southeast and Lagos State

Ask for a list of all people affected first, all nigerians live in Lagos and as the results of the last election shows, we know who has the highest voting strength there. Stop being clever by half.

Remind me which region is Lagos again.

They no teach me geopolitics for school.

Exactly, they are just talking rubbish to shield their brother ishaq. That's how tribalism has finished Nigeria. You see your brother has committed a crime, and you will start shielding him with nonsense points like this ones above.

So who are those that voted Atiku in Osun state in the last election?

I heard Yoruba only make up 25% in Osun. Can you help me ask Shuku Abiamo if this is true?

We're talking Lagos, don't run to Osun or use insults to divert the topic.

Which election figures?

As at today, 99% of all political offices in Lagos are being held by the Yoruba.

So who exactly is controlling political figure if not them?

Atiku won presidential election in Osun, are the Fulanis controlling politics in Osun state?

PresidObi:
We're talking Lagos, don't run to Osun or use insults to divert the topic.

We are talking Jamb, don’t run to politics to divert.

Balderdash. From which ethnicity is the guy who scored the highest in Jamb from Lagos State? How many Lagos State residents of Yoruba extraction dey go school compared to the rest of the population?
