• A table containing the full names and scores of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) top performers from 2013 to 2022 has sparked a debate on social media
• The list showed that the best UTME student for 2013 scored 299, which is in sharp contrast with the score of 2022 best performer, 362
• Netizens argued over gender, ethnicity and other interesting observations realised from the emerging list

As 2024 UTME continues, a list of all the best students from 2013 to 2022 in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) tertiary institution exam has emerged online.

Nigerian journalist Deborah Tolu-Kolawole shared the list online to counter a netizen, @_Eddieee321, who bragged about scoring 379 in her UTME when she sat for it.

"I scored 379 in jamb bro. I went to Babcock. Na your papa no get money. Shikina," @_Eddieee321 bragged on X.
