A JAMB candidate identified as Haruna Ibrahim has sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms after allegedly scoring an astonishingly low total of 17 marks in the recently concluded 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The candidate posted the result himself via his handle on X (formerly known as Twitter), accompanied by a humorous and self-deprecating caption that read: “JAMB, why una go send me seat number instead of my JAMB result?? 😂🤣😂😂 #jambresult.” The post quickly gained traction and began trending, drawing thousands of comments from amused and shocked users alike.
In the midst of growing skepticism regarding the authenticity of the shared result, Haruna Ibrahim replied to one of the comments with a short but direct confirmation: “Na my result.”
The shared result, which included a screenshot for proof, revealed the following subject scores:
ENG: 3
PHY: 4
BIO: 5
CHE: 5
Aggregate: 17
This unusual outcome has drawn mixed reactions online. While some users expressed disbelief, others made light-hearted jokes, and a few shared words of encouragement. Many were quick to point out that such a result, though rare, could either be a result of a prank or a wake-up call for academic support and reform.
The incident has since gone viral, sparking a broader conversation about exam preparedness, student mental health, and the intense pressure Nigerian youths face when sitting for major national exams like UTME.
