Politics / Re: Protest Hits Enugu Over Failure Of INEC To Register Voters (Video, Pics) by Dabyes(f): 9:59am On Jun 22, 2022 |
Vaughanlanrewaj: Despite several announcements on radio and TV and multiple shifts in deadline for registration, it is incadescently shameful that some folks still waited until now to complain that they have not concluded their registration.
In my opinion, except if the person is just clocking 18 years now, others should be penalized akin to the missed NIN registration defaulters to ensure that next time they will take their civic responsibility serious. And how sure are you that it's not the same issue that has been repeating. I know how many times I've gone to register and it's the same no machine from INEC until they got agitated yesterday. You'll go to one center and they'll say there no people to do the registration. In another center, only one person doing the registration with about 1000-2000 people waiting. In another, no machine. It's the same story everyday. It baffles me that people are blaming the youths in the south for waiting this long. You don't know your country again. They're dedicated to making life hell for the citizens. Even if you register online, you'll still have to go and get verified and finish the process, with what machine? Okay after the protest yesterday, they finally released two machines to us. Why were they keeping it in the first place? People should look beyond tribes and religion and tackle the main issue. With this kind of injustice, tell me the south won't keep agitating for freedom? |

And as a matter of fact,is there any assurance that these people will get their PVC before election considering how things work in Nigeria? Since 2011 wey I don collect PVC I hide am like gold because I dont trust the Nigeria system, to collect another one go hard.

Kobojunkie: Yes, I do not believe the Bible nor do I believe it is inerrant and holy at all - that book was can never be made Holy. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Now, here's the funny thing about that, i also don't think the scriptures are incomplete nor do I believe Jesus Christ and God failed in delivering the entirely of His New Covenant Law into the hands of His followers and to the world of men, like you do. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
I also don't believe it matters that the Word of God was written and processed by hands of men, nor does it matter that what you call your Bible only contains a select count of scripture Canonized by the rules of men. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
All of that is meaninglessness... you know why? Because I trust God and His Word alone. If you know or even understood the meaning of that, you would be free from the shackles of believing in a mere book and begin embracing God and God alone , not God and a book. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Of course you don't believe the bible is incomplete. Why would you need to? When you've already made it incomplete yourself by selecting only a part of it that appeals to you and your messed up understanding. You trust God alone but that trust is still built from what you know from a book you don't believe in even if it's just a small part of it. I believe God, his word which is the bible and its entirety. I believe God's word is not limited to the bible. God's speaks through different ways, the bible, the holy spirit, even through our neighbors. Even Jesus knew that we can't understand him using only our understanding and that's why he saw it fit to send us a helper, a counselor, the holy spirit. If Jesus saw the need to send a helper to people who has practically lived with him for three years a helper, how much more us who have never seen him? Why didn't Jesus just say, " well, you guys have your own understanding, that should be enough for you guys". So bro, there's no shit you can tell me about the holy spirit not being a necessity to know God better. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Again, Jesus Christ is God's New Covenant Law and this Law is for the Kingdom of God. It compares to the Old Covenant Law of Moses which God gave aa an agreement to those of the blood of Jacob, and as Law in the Kingdom of Canaan. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
However, the New Law embodied in the person of Jesus Christ, is a standard that is much higher than all of man's laws and moral rules. And Jesus Christ offere us a light yoke and easy burden compared to the Old Covenant Law of Moses, YHWH - there are about 100 commandments all together - Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30 ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
The details of the New Covenant - Blessings, Curses, Eligibility requirements/Conditions, Promises, Rituals - the terms and conditions of the agreement are recorded in the 4 Gospels and this is the Law in the Kingdom of God. Whenever you decide to get serious and know who Jesus Christ really is, you can check it out. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
And like the Old Covenant, obedience is the Key to obtaining the promises and benefits of the New Covenant in the Kingdom of God. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Yeah yeah, says the guy who doesn't believe the bible but claims he knows exactly what was in Jesus mind from "his understanding".

It is by His Law- His very teachings and commandments- that we are judged, not by our opinions in this. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Which teachings and commandments do you speak of my friend? Is it the one in the book you don't believe in or which one? If Jesus, the same Jesus you claim is the only one you believe in can make reference to other books of the Bible in his teathings, even used the old testament to teach in the synagogue. Then who are you to throw them away or discuss them unless you do not totally believe in him. Now to the parable of talents which is not even Matt 13:10-17 as you said but Matt 25:14-30, Jesus did not make any direct link to the talent being understanding but you who seems to take everything Jesus says so literally have interpreted it as such and you're not wrong. The talents Jesus spoke of could be understanding, it could be wisdom, love, it could be any good gift that comes from God. And the holy spirit has chosen to reveal it to you as understanding even if you're trying to fight it. Isn't it wonderful how God works even when we don't acknowledge his spirit? You know, you could be a very good spokesman for God if you just stop trying to fight it.� 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: It seems you are still struggling to comprehend/understand what it is Jesus taught in Matthew 5 vs 27-32 about Lust as sin and sex not sin. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Let's consider the case of 3 individuals Bayo, John and Bob, and mike , all of who claim to be Christians. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
1. Bayo, a virgin still, lusts after women freely in his heart, even though he has never had sex with any woman as he believes in keeping himself for the right woman or until marriage. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
2. John is what many would like to believe a happily married man as he has not engaged in extramarital affairs in his over 10 years of marriage. However, John has a list of women he desires and regularly lusts after but his biggest fear is that sex with someone you are not married to is taboo, an old Covenant idea which he ignorantly holds onto, even though Jesus Christ is who John claims to believe in. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
3. Bob, has had numerous relationships in his past and only started the current one after he came to become a Christian. He has yet to have sex in his current relationship but regularly lusts in his heart after his girlfriend among other gals. Bob is convinced that as long as he does not engage, he is fine. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
4. Then there is Mike, a chronic masturbater. He believes and condemns fornication, adultery, homosexuality, etc because in his eyes, those are sins against God. But masturbation is not sin because there is no actual sex involved. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) all 4 men above have one thing in common, and that is they sin against God everything they lust in their hearts after women, this according to Jesus Christ taught in Matthew 5 vs 27-32 . It doesn't matter whether they eventually have sex or not since they are condemned as adulterers the moment that lust is registered in their hearts after a woman. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
It doesn't matter what their fellow men see or know as the sin is of the heart and not of the body. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) You believe lust is the only single but what follows isn't. And I believe that both lust and what it leads to are all sins, infact I believe that, whatever you do whether through your thoughts or actions that does not show or express love towards your neighbor is a sin. I will no longer dispute your opinions because it is now clear that we don't believe in the same thing. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Again, I don't believe in the Bible and I don't believe your Bible is some Holy inerrant book, no. As you rightly pointed out scripture was written of the hands of humans and in the language of humans to be comprehended by humans. And your Bible was translated, and compiled by humans as well. So it makes no sense of any kind to put one's trust in such a book or even believe such a book is holy to begin with. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Instead I believe in God and His Sovereignty. I trust that God is able to manage the integrity of His very own Words through out time and even the plans of men. I believe that Heaven and Earth will pass away but not one jot of the Word of God will change ... just as Jesus Christ is written to have declared. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Now, you have clearly identified your problem.

Kobojunkie: 1. Read Matthew 13 vs 10 - 17 where Jesus Christ references the lesson of Parable of 10 talents in relation to understanding. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
2. Again, Jesus Christ never told you or anyone that the Holy Spirit is what you need in order to understand/comprehend the New Covenant Law, the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, and the instructions He gave you as regards that is found again in Matthew 13 vs 10 - 17 . ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
By the way, the Bible is not correct/holy or whatever else you folks like to believe of it. The only Truth in the book is the Word of God aka the Words written as coming out of God's own mouth... that what Jesus Christ taught - Matthew 4 vs 4 & John 14 vs 1 - 5 ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Yes Jesus taught them and they are true but were you there when it was taught? Were you there when it was written? Did Jesus write them himself? Were they not written by men? Is it not possible that they didn't write exactly what Jesus said word for word? The whole bible was written by men whether you choose to believe or not? Jesus did not write any book himself. It takes divine understanding from God to know exactly what he's trying to say in the bible. He chooses to reveal himself to each and every one of us in different unique ways. His word are made new with each breaking day. You can never finish understanding God's words no matter how many times you read it. And any understanding at all you have of God is because he chose to reveal it to you. As far as you've agreed that the understanding you have does not come from you but from God, then we're saying the same thing. So if you choose to believe in the bible, believe all because they're all inspired by God even though written by men or if you choose to keep deceiving yourself with the Gospel being the only true words of Jesus(which he never wrote) then shalom. |

Kobojunkie: 1. I never said the understanding I have was my own to begin with. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Jesus Christ taught us, this by way of the parable of the 10 talents- Matthew 25 vs 14 - 30 & Luke 19 v 11 - 27 that we should use what God has given to us. Those who use the understanding they have will have more understanding given to them whereas those who do not use the understanding they have will have even that which they had taken from them - Matthew 13 vs 12 & Matthew 25 vs 29 & Luke 19 vs 26 ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
2. Jesus Christ, the one who taught in parables, also taught you that in order to understand the parables and the secrets of the Kingdom, what you to do is, again, simply use the understanding you have been given. More understanding will be given to you if you obey,however even the little you have will be taken away from you if you refuse - Matthew 13 vs 10 - 17. Again, this teaching is related to point (1) from earlier. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
3. Jesus Christ never taught anyone that the Holy Spirit was first needed for one to understand the secrets of the Kingdom which He taught and explained to His very own disciples years before even they were able to become free of bondage to sin, Holy and Perfect vessels worthy of the Holy Spirit. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
The one from whom we recieve the Truth of the Kingdom of God from is, I believe, the one who is referred to by Jesus Christ as the Spirit of Truth(Jesus Christ), the another Helper indicated in John 14 and John 16 by Jesus Christ. He is also the Spirit that those in the world, those who do not believe in Jesus Christ, cannot have. John 14 vs 1 - 25 ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
4. Also, a parable is simply a story. So whenever Jesus Christ spoke these stories to his followers, they clearly knew and understood he was telling them a story. Same way you would clearly know from listening or reading my posts when I am telling a story, using an analogy or speaking in riddles.. there is nothing mystical or mysterious about these things that you would go as far as to let it convoluted or taint your understanding of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Now as to Jesus Christ contradicting Himself, let me help you see how it is not as you think. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Jesus Christ gave two commandments
■ Jugde not lest though be judged- Matthew 7 vs 1 - 3 ■ Judge righteously- John 7 vs 24
Understandably, the two commands above would seem a contradiction to a one who does not know Jesus Christ, but it is no parable, don't confuse it as such. In the first, command, Jesus Christ teaches us not to judge at all even though as humans we are meant to judge most everything, we are built that way and this by God Himself. But them the same Jesus Christ then commands next that we judge righteously but how can human beings who are unjust by default, judge righteously? ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
By using the understanding given me, i am able to see that what Jesus Christ teaches is that we cease to judge the world by by standards set by the world... our opinions, cultures, society. Etc., but we are instead to judge all things by by standard set by God - righteousness Himself. And who is God's standard in the Kingdom of God , the one who is Law? He is Jesus Christ, God's standard of righteousness in the Kingdom of God. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
P.s. Unless where indicated, always try to take what Jesus Christ says as is... do not add and do not remove(sin) so you can clearly understand what He is saying and learn from Him in the process. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Tis better to present oneself a fool where the understanding of the Word of God is concerned than to think oneself too wise to be taught by the one who is the Word of God. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) Note I did not state anything about being taught by other humans or so-called Mogs. So, where did Jesus say the talent he was talking about in the parable was understanding? Since you take the bible so literally, then how come you are taking the talents he talked about to mean understanding? And yes, the bible is correct no doubt about that. But those same Gospels are written by men, aren't they? Or did Jesus write them himself? It is very possible that they might have forgotten something or didn't include everything Jesus said or did. Maybe your own bible was written by Jesus himself or it was sent to you directly by Jesus, I don't know. The four Gospels have their differences, does it know mean that they were talking about two Jesus, no. There are different because it was written from different perspectives. That's where the holy spirit comes in again, he reveals to use what Jesus actually meant and what he was talking about. So, I don't see why you choose to throw every other thing said in the bible and hold on to only the gospels when all are written by men. In Matt 16:13-17, the response Simon gave is a response one would expect him to give from his own understanding or common sense since he has been with Jesus and have seen his marvelous works, heard him preach severally for three years, followed him everywhere. So, it must been easy for him to say those words from his understanding of Jesus. But see what Jesus told him. It shows that even that common sense, that little understanding comes from above. At least you acknowledge that this understanding of yours comes from God and that's fine because God the father and God the holy spirit are one and the same person. Perhaps you have a problem attributing it to the holy spirit. And I never said those contradictory statements made by Jesus are parables. I only said that Jesus doesn't always speak in a direct and concise manner every time. Sometimes he says things beyond human reasoning and if taken literally could actually be contradictory. So, the father needs to reveal to you what is actually meant. You also seem to believe that only lust is sin and what it leads to isn't. You're the son of your father, right? You're not your father even though he gave birth to you, agreed. But does that mean you don't have the generic make up of your father? A tree first establishes it's root before the stem, branches, leaves or fruit. Does that mean the stem, branches or leaves are any less part of the tree? No. Likewise lust, adultery and fornication. Lust is the root, adultery and fornication are the branches and leaves. Uproot the root which is lust and you uproot the whole tree. That's probably why Jesus laid more emphasis on lust being the sin because it's the root, it doesn't make adultery and fornication any less a sin. Come on, where's that understanding of yours when it is actually needed. If you still believe that only lust is the sin then check out Matt 15:18-20 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Jesus Christ is God's New Covenant, the Law in the Kingdom of God, so what He says is Gospel, the Order as far as every one in His Kingdom is concerned, whether it be people or demons or even devils. The New Covenant Law, Jesus Christ, is detailed for you to read of in the 4 Gospels, so it should not take all - that is where the Gospel as taught by Jesus Christ is written. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
He defines what is sin, as far as sexuality or assumption of it, in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 32 where He basically told you that it is the Lust in the heart (after a woman) that is sin. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Now you chose to add your own sin, fornication to the Law and I am asking you there,where did Jesus Christ include the definition of fornication as sin for you? ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Now as for the other issue, Jesus Christ never said you need the Holy Spirit in order to read the Bible or scripture. In order to have the Holy Spirit, you must first become free from slavery to sin aka Holy/Perfect... it took the disciples almost 4 years to achieve that feat. So instead of randomly pulling a Verse out of context to support your claim, next time pay attention to context because in the same John 14. Jesus Christ made it quite clear that it is only those who live in continual submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments that can receive even the another Helper that the Father sends. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
As far as understanding the Truth of the Kingdom of GoD. Jesus Christ told us the Parable of the 10 talents found in Matthew 25 vs 14 - 30 & Luke 19 vs 12 - 27 where He taught us the lesson that it is when we use the understanding we already have that more understanding will be given to us, this of the Kingdom of God, those who refuse to use the understanding they have will have even the little they had taken away from them. - Matthew 13 vs 10 - 17![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
Rather that use the lies you have been previously fed by your Mogs as basis of your understanding, start over by using your own understanding in building an understanding of God and the things of God from scratch. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) At least now I see why you take everything Jesus in the bible said so literally, you rely so much on your own little understanding. What makes you even think that understanding you call you own is even yours to begin with? Jesus has often told us that he speaks in parables, it means you can't always take what he says so literally, they hold deeper meaning. And that's where the holy spirit comes in (which I doubt you've experienced). The holy spirit is a spirit of understanding, even that understanding you claim to be yours comes from him. He reveals what exactly Jesus was trying to say. Or you think every single time Jesus speaks words deeper than human reasoning, he'll be like, "hey guys, I'm speaking in parables". You haven't seen where Jesus said two contradicting things. My dear, don't always try to understand the bible so literally. 1 Like |

Modrov:
So, where is the proof, documentary or electronic, that he has a case?
The thing is, this kind of case runs on evidence. And the available evidence, for now (unless he proves otherwise) shows that he is lying.
If I accused you of being a thief, without proof, and everyone has to believe me because you are in a position of power, and I am a weakling...presumably...that is still lying.
At any rate, he has admitted to lying. Maybe when he comes back from this, and you guys meet up, he could explain better.
As for me, his story began to break down when he claimed he passed JAMB at 306 the second time, yet did not get admission to UI to read medicine because he did not have further maths. That cannot be possible. Further maths is not needed to read medicine. So, either he was lying about that score...or he was using fake results then.
Being brilliant does not mean success in exams.
You can call me an opporessor, and you can abuse JAMB...but until the guy brings verifiable proof...he has no case. If we allow his accusations to stand, we open the door to allowing people to make allegations without proof...and that takes us down a very dangerous road
To quote a famous drama
.Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

Modrov: Nigeria has not been fair to a lot of people, which is why many people are somehow ready to believe a young man's lies against JAMB rather than believe the truth , that he forged his results.
I guess that what can be said from this thread is that Nigerians are always ready to believe they are opressed. There is great power in believeing that one is oppressed, that one is the victim. It kind of absolves you of blame, that it isn't my fault.
The problem is, that kind of thinking provides opportunities for people to be lazy, and to accept the testimony of liars.
An example of this victim thinking in mind was seen in a case some years ago of a pregnant woman who blamed OAUTH for casuing the loss of her babies, and for making her have kidney failure. Eventually the truth came out...the woman had been warned that she needed a Caesarean...but she opted to go to a prayer house when she went into labour, and naturally had complications which by the time she got to hospital...the baby was dead and there was organ failure. In essence, the doctors had to do some lifesaving surgery. She survived.
But to blame herself for not listening to her doctors, that's painful. So, she blamed the hospital. And most Nigerians believed her. Because we all know of that patient who died because of 'doctor negligence'..and we are so angry about it, and we feel weak and helpless...that we would rather blame the oppressors than ourselves.
A lot of students fail JAMB because they don't learn how to study, which is something schools, and even children's organizations should take time to teach kids how to do. Some fail because they don't take advantage of the materials they have...and the Internet is a very very veritable fount of knowledge. Some fail because of not being serious enough. But it is too painful to admit one's shortcomings...because , as even I know from personal experience, admitting shortcomings means that you are...in essence...to blame. That's a blow to the ego.
So, the fact is , the boy failed JAMB thrice. He had three opportunities to find out about his shortcomings, and address them. Instead he blamed everyone but himself...and that led him down the path of lying. And that , my friends, is why we should find time to address our shortcomings and take the blame when we err. Which is why ,even with the lying appearing proven, I am ready to accept that the boy might have told the truth...if it is proven with documentation and evidence, that his results were altered.(A shortcoming of the me too movement is that it has given opportunities for people to lie. And since they are mixed up with those who actually tell the truth, it leads to uncomfortable situations when they are proven to be lying. Tares among the wheat, eh)
But if Chinedu has failed...he should then accept he has failed, and then address his shortcomings. Being brilliant does not mean you are infallible, and that you can never fail. As Pele once said...the minute you start believing that you are 'too good', you get lost. I wouldn't blame you for having this view. We won't understand how it feels until it happens to us or someone close to us and I'm sure that with this country is going, I'm sure this injustice would get us one way or the other if it's not addressed. I'm not asking you to believe that he didn't forge the result but at least keep an open mind and give him the benefit of the doubt. You don't know the entire story so don't be quick to make judgments because anything could have happened. There have been incidences of people being forced to admit to a crime they didn't commit. It's not new. It's not also new that results can be forged, I'm not ruling out that fact. But if he did, does that also mean that others who had multiple results also did. They're just not speaking out and I won't blame them. Edu's crime was speaking out in a country where injustice is swept under the carpet. But I don't support that 1billion part sha. He should have just asked for his results and let jamb keep their stinking money. And please he didn't fail jamb. |

It's a good thing u said u personally know the boy. Please do try furnish us with updates cos seeing so many helpless hopeless situations like this is so very distressing and heartbreaking. I don't need anyone to tell me this is a clear case of a Nigerian institution oppressing someone trying to make a justified claim out of them due to negligence and incompetent.. But as usual they would use thr state/govt. might in their favour to stifle such persons that dares.. This is why there is so much injustices thrives in this country and it looks like we have no single justice system to help the common man. It's such a shame.. Nigeria is such an Irony and a huge crime scene And it keeps getting worse because we keep staying quiet about it. Anyway, I'll keep you updated. I hope he is vindicated 1 Like |

Instead of sitting tight and working harder you deflect and make excuse. That's why this one had to forge results to maintain the perception of genius people had of him instead of working hard and looking for a solution to why he couldn't meet the score. It seems your age group doesn't like to take responsibility and will do anything for optics. And I can see how very responsible your age group is |

The5DME: I know of people who had this same issue of result being changed in this year's jamb. A girl was sent an sms with a certain score, when she sent another sms; another result was brought out. So she had to accept it like that. Exactly my point. It's not just him it happened to several others. They are just not speaking up. And the only person who is, they're trying to cover it up. I'm not surprised because that's the kind of country we're in. |

I am not frustrated, child. But I am sure you are because it is radiating in every sentence you write. Unfortunately your lying friend will not be released at all. You can take your own frustrations about your state to JAMB office and protest it won't change anything. If you commit a crime be ready to face the music. No amount of emotional blackmail and blame game will help you Some people are just not worth the time. Have a nice day sir. And sorry if I sounded disrespectful 1 Like 1 Share |

The boy just performed a criminal act,
He was defamating jamb of short changing his scores since 2019 whereas he was the one giving himself a high score and still had the tenacity to say jamb sent him one score and he printed out another scores.
He sue jamb for a ridiculous 1b naira for lies.
That's very bad of the boy. So if he lied about it, did every other person who had multiple results lie about it? I also think that 1billion naira is too much. How much does jamb have sef? |

Now I see you are looking for excuses for your own predicament. Unfortunately for you I wrote JAMB over a decade ago and this lie about changing results have been around since then. I am sure you didn't get 3 different SMS yourself. And neither does anyone I know. Study hard next time and stop looking for who to blame. Please don't pour out your frustration on me. I love my results. I'm only vexed because it's happening to someone who deserves more. Let them release him for us, I'm sure he'll get better opportunities in life. Las las education in this country is scam. Even the so called educated ones acts ignorantly |

He didn't forge it for the university. He forged it for the people around him in case they asked him why he didn't pass. Come on! People have been forging Oluwole certificates to show around or even hang in their offices that they attended a school or got some qualifications that they didn't have in actuality. Is it SMS to show others that one can't forge?
That's probably what gave the lie a life of its own. Once people saw it they pushed it to social media and he lost control of it. His parents believed it too and decided to sue JAMB for a life-changing amount of money. But the boy couldn't bring himself to confess that he lied with the scale the thing had taken.
I don't know why emotions is making something so simple so hard for you to understand.
Most people who claim JAMB changed their scores are liars. They just can't admit that they didn't meet the cutoff. That's not to say there aren't extremely rare cases of such happening though. But for it to happen 3 times to the same guy is ridiculous. And if you believe such nonsense you will believe anything. I also wrote jamb this year and I know that the case of multiple results is true and I don't care if you believe it or not. And I didn't just believe anything, I knew about this issue even before this year's jamb was written only for the same thing to happen again this year. |

So you don't believe someone can forge a message from JAMB in this era of fake alerts? Are you serious right now?!!
I know of very intelligent guys who failed JAMB many time and I got admission before them. That's life. I know one guy especially that didn't attend university and had to go to polytechnic. Guys who were smarter than me. Sometimes it can be overconfidence not making you to cross check your answers to make sure you put in the right thing.
Stop being emotional. Life is not about who is the best at something. Sometimes the fasters runner doesn't win the race. I'm not saying that messages can't be forged. But sms messages are not proof for jamb results so no university would accept that so I don't see any reason why he would forge just the sms. Leaving him aside, does it also mean that every other person that has multiple results forged their results because this didn't happen to him alone. Let them give him another exam and let it be marked by an independent body in the presence of everyone |

I was of the view with your perspective while still reading the post till i got to the last part then found out that the boy is a chronic cheater and pathetic So what? He sent the sms to his phone in order to meet up with the score to prove what exactly? Is there any university that accept sms as proof of jamb result? This is just a pathetic cover up by jamb. So, others who wrote jamb and had multiple results also sent the sms to their phones. |

It doesn't have to be for the university. He may have done it in order to avoid disappointing people who know him. I have heard people making claims about having high scores before and it turn out to be false. Don't let emotions cloud your judgement.
The guy could have been grilled at home due to parental pressure to study medicine and when he realized people who are not as brilliant as he is are getting admission he forged his own to look higher because that's what people expect him to have. And when the lie caught on he couldn't control it anymore. It's possible it was his father who took the decision to sue without thinking. You can even see that his lawyer is begging for JAMB to investigate first. If he was so sure he won't be begging them.
Unfortunately he may just have ruined his chances in life with this stunt. No, he's actually very good. And there's a screenshot of the message jamb sent to him but they claim that he saved his sister's number as 55019 and sent the messages to his phone. |

Why are you not reacting to the lie he told that UI didn't give him admission to Medicine last year because he didn't have Further Maths in his O'Level? I see you know him personally and defending him here. The thing is, I don't know where that statement is coming from because currently he's still working on the UI admission. Maybe what he meant was that he wanted to switch to engineering with last year's mark in UI but he didn't have further maths |

aribisala0: JAMB Claimed that there was NEVER any communication about 380 to him That is unambiguous .So the onus is on him to provide that communication.
These things can be traced through the phone company and NCC
It is not a complex issue
The other issue is if results "change " as you claim that is not a big deal. Mistakes happen and the terms and condition allow for retraction of erroneous results
A person who is smart enough to score 380 will certainly do so again and could go to court to either get the result reinstated or the opportunity to retake the exam under controlled conditions He provided the screenshot of the sms sent to him by jamb but they claim that he saved his sister's number as 55019 and sent the messages to his phone |
