Do you know what she was going through? Do you know the length of her depression? That you have done jamb for 11 years does not make your life synonymous to what she faced. Her mental strength is certainly not the same as your mental strength.

Rest in peace to her.

I blame the government for this. If they can make several alternative to theoretical education in our primary and secondary schools, our teenagers will not be killing themselves over failed jamb. If they can introduce proper skill learning and investment in sports and mental health, maybe the rate of hopelessness will reduce drastically.

The only thing I'll say is this
Life only gets tougher and tougher
If you can't face the heart break of jamb result how are you going to face the remaining disappointments in life?

If the solution for every problem is to drink sniper then.......

And also, she could have just done diploma and enter 200l or if she got up to 200 in jamb she could have gone to polytechnic and do DE from there.
Or even prelin in some unis
There's so many solution to the problem

She doesn't seem like someone who prepared for the exam sef.

Parents shouldn't force education on their kids.
She clearly didn't enjoy education.

No matter what happens u have to keep moving forward,I remember year 2014 I took jamb ppt and sat near a dude that has been sitting for jamb since 2007 mehn,I shock but he was there still giving himself a chance,there are many hurdles on the way,if u fail cry if that will make u better,weep but always remember that its okay to fail but never okay to give up,
All u have in life is ur breath nothing else counts once its gone,suicide is never am option,life is not for the faint hearted so man up and face it! Above all pray

"That word okay to fail but never okay to give up" and suicide wasn't an option is what made me keep going then. I am an example. I did Jamb for good seven years 2005 to 2011, my mate that we both graduate from secondary school were graduates already, some in final year, life was very difficult for me during those years. My dad died during my WAEC 2004 exam (May his soul Rest in Peace), my mum was not financially stable. Yet I keep my head up even though no better people around me to orientate me on how to go about it and when you ask those that knows about schooling/education their response will make one to commit suicide but I was determined. 2011 was my last jamb and the only jamb that I failed since 2005, scored 197 did post jamb in Funaab and I got the admission. Suicide is not the solution abeg.

The generation of teens we have these days ehn. Their peers in the 60s and 70s survived wars and even fought in some, but these ones we are raising nowadays rush to commit suicide if you as much as condemn their fashion sense. Millennials!!

It is time for our schools to force students to have a skill. No student must graduate without having at least one skill or be a part of one sporting event.

You see now. This year's JAMB is the worstest in the history of JAMB in Nigeria, this becourse of coronavirus that did not allow many of us to read. JAMB should please council and postpone this year's exam jo. I was not able to concentrate when i wroted my own yesterday, becourse the girl that sat beside me was just snizzing and coffin all through the exam and i was so much afraiding of my earth and life during the exam. So Buhari should other JAMB to council the exam and postpone it till the end of coronavirus, afterall earth is wealth.

Why commit suicide because of JAMB. Some of us that have passed through the process to the extent of obtaining double degrees and vice versa are still trying to find our feet on the ground.

Who is advising our teen that tertiary education is the only way out? I would advise any focused youth to embrace vocational training and learn IT skills.


University education is overhyped here

I have been in her shoes, not an easy thing to know u are spending another year at home


My story

I registered for Jamb in the year 2001, seeking admission into one of Nigeria university. I prepared well for this exam, attended many lessons and tutorials to pass gallantly.

I have had all my waec subjects d previous years with 4 As. I remembered my teachers in our lesson always telling others to emulate me and come close to me for explanations anywhere they have difficulties in these subjects vis a vis physics, chemistry and Biology. I was really on fire then. lol.

Gradually the examination day came, I took my bath, ate, and I was ready to go to my centre. I then proceeded to take my photo card where I securely kept it inside a well secure file, because we will use it as a passport to sit for the exam and identification too. Alas, my photo card was nowhere to be found. I ransacked the whole house, I could not find it. I cried, I prayed, all these could not produced my photo card.

I went to the examination centre to tell d supervisor if they will considered me and allow me write the exam, but I met d opposite,I was chased out of the examination hall. I almost ran mad that day, a lot of thought was coming to my mind to commit suicide.

Thank God for my mum of her blessed memory who consoled me despite labouring to find the exam money for me. She kept her eyes on me throughout that week, she gave me pounded yam and encouraged me to keep pressing on.

She went the following week to obtain Lautech predegree form for me. Then, I have not heard about Lautech. She was my pillar and saving angel who prevented me from doing the unthinkable. RIP mummy
Me, I wrote JAMB in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007. How about that? Sometimes, we don't have people to properly guide us on these things. Imagine me saying: "Medicine or no any other course...Unilag or no school". Lol.

Passing JAMB is one step.
Passing Post-JAMB is another step.
Gaining admission is the last step.
She could pass the exam and still not gain admission.
I scored 261 in 2017 and yet I didn't gain admission because I failed Post-utme.
Some of my friends failed in 2017 , tried the following year and passed and at the same time gain admission.
Failure is not failure, it is a lesson.
