A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has urged Mmesoma Ejikeme, a 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidate, to come clean with the source of her result.

Chidoka, who is also the owner of the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Centre where Mmesoma sat for her examination, said he will beg the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for leniency if the candidate come clean with her result source.

“For Nmesoma, she should come clean and explain how she got that result and who led her down that path. If she does that, I will lend my voice to beg JAMB to note her age and show more leniency,” the ex-minister said in a statement on Wednesday.

Although Mmesoma claimed that she scored 362, JAMB insisted that her actual score is 249.

On Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Wednesday, Mmesoma said she should not be blamed for the controversy. “It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that and they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is not fair,” she said.

The House of Representatives has since said the exam body acted in an unprofessional manner in a matter involving a minor by withdrawing the candidate’s result and banning her for three years.

The House subsequently set up an adhoc committee to investigate the matter and asked JAMB to stay action until the green chamber concludes its investigation.

In his statement on Wednesday, Chidoka said that he observed two red flags when he saw the candidate’s result online.

“First, our center is no longer addressed as Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development on the JAMB portal since 2021. The correct name on the JAMB portal and Main Examination Slip is Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development)…Her (Nmesoma) result showing Thomas Chidoka without the Nkemefuna Foundation, which was on her Main Examination slip, raised my suspicion about the genuineness of the result.

“The second red flag was the result template. A cursory review of some of those who took the last examination at our center showed a different result slip template with the candidate’s passport picture, JAMB watermarks, and no mention of the name of the examination center.

“I gave the young Nmesoma the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if she would explain how she got the result, which is obviously not the result template that Jamb used in 2023. I knew it was fake,” the ex-minister stated, noting that his centre has been involved with the JAMB CBT examination since 2016.

He commended JAMB for coming out “forcefully” to defend its integrity, saying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should act like JAMB and explain the “technical glitch” the commission suffered in the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Lmao the fraudulent girl was asked on channels tv how she got her result and where she printed it from twice. She dodged the question and didn’t answer but started talking some victimhood script.
Dts when I knew dt she be scam.

I didn’t bother reading the body of the text, his red cap makes him look predictable 😝 So, if my response doesn’t connect with the text come and beat me

Who is this one again, If you refuse to retract your statement they can force you to beg. You’re not the one to give any conditions. Next time you’ll keep quiet in matter you’re not part of

Read. He is the owner of the CBT center where she took the JAMB test.

This man now got his voice when it is obvious there is no hidden place for the lying girl. Government should investigate this man very well just like the little girl. Let the poor girl breathe. Fuk Innoson motor for tribal sentiment it brought to this matter. Innoson motor should change his PR asap. The tribal sentiment of igbo people is something else when it comes to defending their own or playing ethnic game without caution. I wonder what a whole Ezekwezile would be discussing with JAMB boss in this matter

He said the girls result is fake and she didn’t get it from them. He gave 2 reasons why he noticed it was fake immediately.

All of Una wan use the girl trend

Ask the Chicago cocaine sniffing kwalangida where he got the certificate he tendered from .

My God!!! The whole region throws caution away to defend this girl. Emotional people will always get disappointed in all their ways.

Where are they in the first place?
Early condemnation would have done them right. They waited till they gave the little girl scholarship before they voice out.

"They are attacking the innocent 19 yr old 'girl' bcus she's ig**" crew, how markate?

How this became a tribal issue still beats my imagination. A crime is a crime, irrespective of the criminal's tribe or background or religion. This girl's guardians and handlers (teachers and principals) really messed things up here. This shouldn't have been allowed to drag this long. Agreed, it might be that it wasn't the girl that produced the document, but there's no way on earth the girl will deny knowledge of the said document being fraudulent. The girl didn't produce the document, but she knew quite well that the document she was parading was 100% fake. She checked her result 5 times, getting back same response of her score of 249 all 5 times. So why still go public with a score of 362, claiming the highest performer in the exam? They should have allowed the matter to die/rest after JAMB informed them that the result was fake. Instead, they decided to go public with it in their attempt to garner public sympathy. Now, the owner of the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Centre where she sat for her examination has come out to say both the template and the center on the fake slip raised reg flags. Are we still going to keep criticizing JAMB for trying to protect the integrity of the exam?

Over 90% of Nigerian graduates sat for JAMB. We were only interested in getting the right score that will guarantee us admission to our choice course and university. It really hurt to see how this has been tribalized. Crime is crime, period.

No one in their right senses should support this. We all want and yearn for a 'new Nigeria', yet we support criminality because the criminal is from our tribe, religion or background. The new generation we seem to look up to for the 'change' seems to be way worse than the old generation. Is this how we will achieve the change?

We all are quick to reference the West on how organized they enforce the law, but we seem to forget that their laws are enforced without fear or favoritism. If you commit a crime, your family and neighbors will be the first to report you to Law Enforcement, but reverse is the case in Naija. NAH WAH.

Her case would have likely implicated Chidoka's CBT centre in the JAMB and DSS investigation into the crime so the man quickly spoke up.
At 19, she is not a minor o.Haba! JAMB has already concluded its registration so The House of Representatives is just wasting its time. This is an public assault on the integrity of JAMB and it would have been foolhardy for them to allow it linger when this is not USA where issues of Trump lingered for years until now.

jaxxy:


u don't even know what ure talking about. Any judgement by jamb is not final until a higher body or the court says so.

You are the one who is struggling to cover a lie with another lie or plainly ignorant. Go and read the law that set up JAMB , no court decides admission, it's the job of JAMB and JAMB has
cancelled her result and banned her. JAMB has referred the criminal angle to DSS. So go and argue with DSS.
Check my signature for free stuffs!

The 3 years ban is childish and it should be reversed. The lady scored 264 which means she's brilliant they should allow him to continue with the result. If jamb refused, then of what important is JAMB in once life. The lady should go elsewhere to further her EDUCATION.

I still don't understand this issue.. of what reason should she float her score if not knowing the end game? Well, as for some youths that wrote jamb 15-20years ago, they are still in search of a good job. If the scholarship hasn't been withdrawn. Let her study abroad.

Many people know the result is FAKE, and many candidates do create this fake result to deceive their parents and friends at home. But the mistake of this "LADY" is to come out BOLDY claiming she got that result from JAMB portal.

Imagine what she will become if eventually she escaped this.

As asked on Channels TV WHERE DID SHE PRINT THIS RESULT?

An institution cannot be looking while people tarnish their integrity. You, as a human, cannot take that.

If it is JAMB rule to sanction her, let their sanction stands. People supporting her can easily help her to sue JAMB to court.

JAMB may not be perfectly okay but it is one of the Nigerian institution that is still trying to maintain standard UNDER this man OLOYEDE

Chai as old as you are you don’t have brain to assimilate simple write up. Wetin musa no go see for gate.

But many of your tribesmen and women are hell bent that the girl did not commit any forgery.

My opinion on this alleged Mmesoma JAMB result scandal still remains let's the government independent body like the NASS investigate the authenticity of her claim. Then let the outcome determine the consequences either way. Enough of these back and forth.

Lol
Small small truth don dey turn up..
Playing Victim is not a way to grow, now I realize how Tribal most Igbo people are, damn.

Even the supposed enlightened, what a shame 😞

It's so painful how we are breaking further as humans.

This girl had a local champion coached that must have done something similar for a few people before now, may not be exact but similar and he has succeeded quite a number of time, the coach is the one pushing the girl with all confidence, to keep his ego straight. Yet everyone that needed to see this with a neutral lens, went ahead to turn this to tribal issue.

I feel so bad seeing how this simple issue of ego of some people dragged almost a tribe into full support.

Our healing must be intentional, and we must remember no one is an island we all need each other.

You talk like kids. Which whole region?
People act based on the information available to them. If JAMB was as transparent as it should be, people can easily go to their website and enter their details and print out their results.
In order to make money through scratch card, they have to frustrate you in checking your results until you run out of the number of times you can check and have to buy another scratch card.

JAMB should be made to be more accessible so that results verification can be seamless and people will be well informed

There won't be any healing for those that want this country to collapse because they are not in control. Some of us are glad things like this is happening in real-time for everyone to see the level of herder mentality and biased mentality.

Instead of confessing her criminal fraud, expect the skilled liar to double-down further on her lies despite all the eggs on her face.

That girl is an Adult and it’s when she’s faced with actual prosecution and real jail time, that she and her shameless enablers will finally realize they cannot fool 200 million Nigerians.

Not the whole region. They only called out jamb for involving DSS for a police matter
