It came as a shock when I saw that only 10 students out of over one million student scored 300 marks and above... God help Nigeria!!!
We need things and ourselves to motivate each other.
I pray that the Prayer Points embedded in the National Anthem will work for us in Jesus Name...Amen

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released the 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results today which showed a general improvement on the performance of candidates compared to last year.
While announcing the outcome of the examination in Abuja today, JAMB Registrar, Dibu Ojerinde said the board discovered some forms of malpractice perpetuated during the conduct of the examination.
A total of 1,629,102 candidates applied to sit for the Paper Pencil Test (PPT), while 15,008 candidates applied for the Dual Based Test, bringing the number of candidates to 1,644,110.
“Ten candidates scored 300 marks and above, while 127,017 candidates scored between 1-159 marks.
About 40,692 candidates’ results were invalid due to either multiple shading or no shading at all.
He warned candidates not to patronize anyone who offers them an opportunity to upgrade their scores saying it is deceit.
“Information reaching JAMB shows Internet fraudsters are already telling candidates that their results could be upgraded in one form or the other.
“This is pure deceit, the public and candidates are hereby advised to disregard these fraudsters since they do not have access to our data.
“Let me once again state that candidates are allowed to change their choices of institutions and courses once only, this change has to be effected within two weeks from today.”
Ojerinde said the Computer Based Test (CBT) is scheduled to take place from May 18 to June 1 and appealed to candidates to reprint their e-registration slips afresh to further ascertain their CBT centres.
Students can access their results on the JAMB website: www.myjambresult.com using their registration numbers.
