“I have a personal experience with this, I received two text messages telling me my results, the first gave me 285, my teachers and friends saw it, we were all celebrating, then another came and what I saw shocked my being. The joy left me.”
@sapalona_ commented:
“She doesn't have to do it herself na. They expelled 125 people in 2019 or thereabout for inflating post utme scores in Unilag. You people should rest. I'm sure more people did it all over the country. Hers is just talked about because she was said to be the highest.”
@JpNOkwuba reacted:
“It's a shame that Nigeria's institutions are in shambles. Lack of transparency in every aspect of our national life. None of our institutions can be trusted to conduct its activities in fairness and credibility. INEC, JUDICIARY and now JAMB. God help us.”
@Felixity19 reacted:
“Yes a proper investigation should be done to ascertain what happened. A 3rd party is involved in this score upgrade. Years back while after writing Jamb, those scammers will start advertising score upgrade in different aspirants Facebook groups. These scammers are always there.”
@d light2 reacted:

JAMB accuses Ejikeme Joy of manipulating result
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had accused Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma of inflating her result from the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement on Sunday, July 2, the examination board said it would take legal action against Mmesoma for defrauding Nigerians, claiming she got the highest result in the recently concluded UTME, The Sun reported.
According to JAMB, there is a software used to generate fake versions of results and put such out in the public space, and the alleged sponsors of the candidates defraud good-spirited Nigerians.
