“Not Ready for Higher Institution”- Lady Says Students Must Find Their Way to JAMB Centres Without Their Parents Help

• A woman’s claim that students unable to find their way to JAMB centres are not ready for university has sparked mixed reactions online, with Nigerians debating independence, safety, and academic readiness.

A woman has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing a controversial opinion about candidates sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The comment, which surfaced on social media, suggested that students who cannot independently find their way to their examination centres may not be prepared for higher education.

“If a child cannot confidently navigate their way to a JAMB centre on their own, it is a feedback that they are not ready for higher institution,” she said.

The statement quickly gained traction, triggering mixed reactions among Nigerians who debated the realities faced by candidates across the country.

While some users supported her stance, arguing that independence and basic life skills are essential for success in tertiary institutions, others strongly disagreed, pointing to Nigeria’s unique challenges.

According to her post, the relationship between both parties ended abruptly immediately after their service year, with all attempts to maintain communication ignored.

“So, my roommate during NYSC stopped talking to me immediately our service year ended. Even when I wished her a happy birthday, she never acknowledged it, so I stopped reaching out. I just accepted that whatever we had ended with service,” she said.
