@Plug08066: “May the gentleness of the souls departed rest in peace. This is the reason why we need to elect a person who loves education and health so much but you’ll rather vote for your tribesman because of tribalism and end up regretting it in the long run.”
@omoiyaonikoko1: “The jamb registra needs to resign man has been bringing policy that make jamb applicant to through hell for God sake what’s wrong with the good old ways of writing jamb??now soul are gone all in the name of writing jamb exam..Goods.. May their soul continue to rest in peace.”
@EsievDarneal: “Everything is wrong with this country you fix exams as early as 6am. Is it, not better student go to the respective school they apply for to write their entrance exam if you pass you get admission.”
@Kickflowdown: “I don’t understand JAMB, I thought candidates choose areas where they write like states and LGA? Has it changed to buying JAMB form and being sent to Zamfara like NYSC? it’s room for racketeering to pay for favorable centres. Everything is business at the expense of lives.”
@comrade_lekan1: “Last year, I wrote an article against JAMB on two factors. Placing students in a centre too far from their residence. Fixing exam for as early as 6:30 am. There is insecurity everywhere and I wonder why JAMB is subjecting these teenagers to so much rigours. Jamb needs to be sued.”
