JAMB gives final verdict on Mmesoma Ejikeme’s result

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has reached its final verdict on the alleged result falsification by a 19-year-old Anambra student, Mmesoma Ejikeme. Mmesoma has been in the news following allegations of UTME score forgery.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede and Mmesoma Ejikeme However, JAMB, on Tuesday, released a result slip, which it confirmed as authentic, showing that Mmesoma’s score in the 2023 UTME was 249 instead of 362, she had been parading. In a statement by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin on Tuesday, described the result being flaunted by Mmesoma as obsolete. He said, “The board would like to reassure Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named ‘Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle,’ who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138. “It is also instructive to note that the candidate, in her statement, has inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth,” Benjamin said. Also, the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, on Tuesday said the board has concluded its investigations on Mmesoma Ejikeme’s case and she’s guilty as stated. He said, “The truth is that JAMB has concluded its investigation on Mmesoma’s score falsification matter; she was not the only one caught, just that others have chosen not to go out. “Presently, there is an industry faking results, and unfortunately, they cannot penetrate the JAMB system. The reason is that the system is foolproof and we will prove it at any time. “It is unfortunate that parents and some of the candidates who are being fooled are not aware that they have only been fooled. “There is internal evidence to show that the change in Mmesoma’s scores was done with her collaboration. There are certain features pertaining to her that only she knows, and unless she makes them available to somebody else, they couldn’t have increased her scores on her behalf.” The JAMB Registrar also disclosed that he earlier spoke with a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Ejikeme’s matter and told her that it was a high-level scam. “We improved our facilities this year, so Ejikeme and her collaborators were still living in the past. I spoke with Mrs Ezekwesili on the matter, and I told her that it was a high-level scam, a careless forgery. “This is because we are no longer using some of the things they used in changing those results since 2021. We used that pattern in 2021, and you saw what happened, and many of such individuals were caught as well, and they were treated accordingly,” Oloyede added. JAMB, however, banned Mmesoma Ejikeme from taking the board’s examinations for three years.

Another Nigerian accuses JAMB of manipulating exam scores

In a recent development that has caused a stir on social media, a Nigerian man with Twitter handle @Nnanyelugo13 has come forward with claims of score manipulation by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). This revelation comes after Joy Ejikeme, an Anambra student, was accused by JAMB of inflating her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) score from 249 to 362, leading to a scholarship from Innoson Motors. Dr Nnanyelugo expressed support for Joy Ejikeme and shared his own experience from 2009, stating that JAMB changed his score four times. According to his tweet, he recounted seeing different scores each time he checked the JAMB portal: 162, 286, 215, and 214. He further highlighted that during that period, he was using a Nokia touch phone and had no knowledge of operating a computer, raising questions about the source of the score manipulations. He wrote; “In 2009, JAMB changed my score 4 times, 162, 286, 215, 214. Each day it kept on changing, I was using Nokia touch then, I don’t even know how to operate a computer then, so who was manipulating my own result then?” JAMB officials have yet to release an official statement regarding the allegations made by @Nnanyelugo13 and others. However, it is anticipated that the regulatory body will launch an inquiry into the matter to ascertain the veracity of the claims and take appropriate action if necessary. @Jacob Silas said; “I knew that little girl could be innocent. This is a severe accusation to lay on a young child.” @Saraiii commented; “This entire thing needs to be thoroughly investigated don’t put blames on anyone yet.” @Jennifer Bryan added; “I know someone this happened to too. Sometimes it may not be the fault of the candidate.” See below;

Why JAMB is after my daughter – Ejikeme Mmesoma’s father

Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma who was accused of forging her 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result, has spoken out about the family’s sadness following the saga. In an interview with journalists who visited his home in Nnewi on Tuesday, Ejikeme said that the family had left everything to God to judge. He went on to insist that his daughter did not forge her results. Ejikeme described her as a hardworking and studious student who did not joke with her studies. The father’s comments come after the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) accused Mmesoma of forging her UTME result. He alleged that the move by JAMB was to thwart the N3 million scholarship awarded to her by the Innoson company. He said, “Mmesoma cannot manipulate her UTME score. I don’t believe what they are saying. They just want to transfer that scholarship to another person. That is why they are saying that Mmesoma did not make that score. “My daughter studies so hard that even when you ask her to go to bed late in the night, she will insist on reading more because she wants to study Medicine and Surgery. “After all the stress, someone will say her result was forged. I have no doubt about this matter. I’m sure my daughter did not forge the result and we are ready to go to any length to prove it. “I only feel bad that after what my daughter has gone through reading for the exams, she is being denied her legitimate score. “Since this allegation of my daughter forging her JAMB result broke out, both my wife and my daughter have been feeling very sad. My daughter is traumatised. “We want a diligent investigation into this matter,” he said. Mmesoma Ejikeme, who had claimed to score 362 in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has been accused of forging her result by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). According to the board, the student withdrew her original result and presented a fake one. JAMB also claimed that Mmesoma had been banned from taking the exams for three years.

Ohanaeze youth tells JAMB to set another test for Mmesoma

The Youth Wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has urged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to bring Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme’s alleged results falsification case to rest by testing her with another examination. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Miss Ejikeme, erstwhile student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi in Anambra, had celebrated her emergence as the candidate with the highest score in the year 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB, in a statement on Sunday signed by its Spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, however, accused Miss Ejikeme of inflating her results to curry favour, adding that the result would be withdrawn as she would have to face prosecution. Speaking with newsmen in Owerri, on Tuesday, the Financial Secretary of the Ohanaeze Youth Wing, Mazi Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa, called on the examination board to put the matter to rest by resetting the examination for Miss Ejikeme. Arthur-Ugwa described the situation as `embarrassing’ to the candidate, JAMB, and Nigeria in general and called on the Board to immediately clear its image and that of the nation. He added that the allegation would come with negative psychological and emotional effects on Mmesoma. Arthu-Ugwa called on the body to “desist from causing harm” in any form or by any means on an innocent youth who had yet to be pronounced guilty by the results of ongoing investigations into the matter. “Only another examination supervised by independent observers will bring this matter to rest and we will avail ourselves to be part of the supervision if need be,” he said. According to him, the Board had never complained of any attempt to manipulate its website, hence the need for the board not to preempt investigations. “Only a few years back, JAMB told us how a snake swallowed a huge sum of money in one of its offices; today we are being told that the results of an examination that should admit students into our hallowed tertiary institutions can no longer be trusted for what they are. “JAMB must, as a matter of national importance, realise the seriousness of its role in society and stop being in the news for the wrong reasons. “If its management can no longer hold forth, then let the Federal Government overhaul the entire board and save our country and her people from needless embarrassment’’, he said. NAN however, reports that Miss Ejikeme has denied the allegations, insisting that she scored a total of 362 marks in the examination as against JAMB’s 249 and adding that she printed the result from the board’s portal.

Anambra student with best UTME score faked results — JAMB

After receiving N3M scholarship for scoring the highest in the 2023 UTME exam in Anambra, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB confirms that the student faked her result. Ejikeme Mmesoma is accused of deliberately faking her score and falsely claiming to be the highest scorer in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Miss Ejikeme Mmesoma In a statement released by the board on Sunday, it was revealed that Ejikeme manipulated her score in order to secure a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors. She was also scheduled to receive recognition from the Anambra State government until now that her deceit was uncovered. The statement reads in part; “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for being high scorers in the 2023 UTME. “The Board is constrained to set the records straight and wishes to state unequivocally that many of the results which many of these candidates are parading are fake. In many instances, some of these candidates had actually obtained far lower scores than they are claiming and had used some funny software packages to manipulate their results to deceive unsuspecting members of the public. “The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded a N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent Chukwuma. She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State Government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim, only for the Board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not the 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognitions.” The statement further noted that the board is aware of another instance of fraudulent behaviour involving a candidate who falsely asserted to have obtained an aggregate score of 380 in the 2023 UTME. Punishment for highest scoring Anambra UTME student, others who faked UTME result “We commended the likes of Dr. Innocent Chukwuma and wish to encourage other Nigerians, who desire to invest in the future of genuine youngsters, never to be discouraged but to always ensure that they get the authentic results from the Board as done by the Anambra State Ministry of Education; otherwise they will be celebrating criminality as this is just another new fraudulent method in town. “However, these candidates only succeed in manipulating what they are holding, as the authentic results are with the Board and would be transmitted to their schools of choice at the appropriate time. “It is to be noted that Miss Mmesoma had sent a message to the Board’s platform to request her UTME result, after which she manually inflated her scores and pasted same on the 2022 UTME result sheet. Unknown to her, the Board had changed the design of the 2023 UTME result sheet. Her original result remains 249, as nothing can change that. With this her ignoble act, Miss Mmesoma would be prosecuted and her original result withdrawn. This is not all, as the Board would, in due course, investigate all candidates laying claims to higher scores than they actually obtained. Once discovered, such candidates’ original results would be withdrawn forthwith, and they would be handed over to relevant security agencies for prosecution.”

How my father helped me achieve my dreams of studying in America after 3 failed JAMB trial

In a heartwarming testimony shared on Twitter, a Nigerian woman recounted how her father’s unwavering faith and sacrifice helped her achieve her dreams of studying in America. According to the woman, exactly twenty years ago, she was hopeless and had just failed JAMB after her third trial.

She was sitting on a tattered chair in the small bedroom she shared with her five younger siblings when she decided to go after her dreams of studying in America.

She said; “In the second picture, exactly 14 years ago today, my father who started this journey to ensure his child studied in one of the most renowned universities in the world saw it to the end. I graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida, a top 5 public university, after four years of studying and interning four times at Fortune 100 companies.” The woman went on to express her belief in God, stating that her testimony is proof that God exists.

“What God cannot do does not exist, and we are walking examples of answered prayers of our parents,” she said. She also called for more recognition of the sacrifices and hard work of Nigerian parents, especially fathers, in ensuring their children’s success. “We don’t talk enough about our Fathers, their dreams for us, their relentless prayers, and undoubted sacrifices,” she said. The woman revealed that her father encouraged her to pick up the SAT forms after he overheard his very rich friend talking to his daughter lovingly on the phone in Maryland, USA. Despite his lack of financial resources, her father paid for her transportation to an SAT preparatory school called MET, where she studied for the SAT and passed with flying colors. “Many of our parents sold everything they had for us, many borrowed money, traveled with the last kobo they had to far places to pull on favors for us. I want us to talk about them, they are worth celebrating. Our parents are legends,” she said. Many social media users have taken to Twitter to express their admiration for the woman’s inspiring story and to share their own experiences of parental sacrifice. One user tweeted, “This is such an inspiring story! It’s a reminder of the lengths our parents will go to ensure our success. We owe them everything”.
