Reactions as JAMB candidate goes missing
@MistAr_Juice said:
"I pray she’s safe. But imagine imagine @JAMBHQ scheduling exams for 6:30am. What time do you want these kids to get to their centres???"
@BashirH00404265 said:
"Why will you allow her to go alone? Even adults are not safe around that axis. I pray she comes back safely."
@uccy_r said:
"Everyone should know about the Google Maps location-sharing feature. It’s very easy to set up, completely free, and incredibly useful. When your loved ones go out, make sure you can see their live location. I pray this girl returns home safely, this is heartbreaking."
@olatunegie said:
"Chai, this Lekki-Epe is too risky and people need to be careful of those cars around that axis…if you can get a tracker to track her phone or her last locations would be good to trace her whereabouts."
@dimpledhanna said:
"I pray she returns home safely. Jamb is particularly mad for scheduling exams at odd hours, everything in Nigeria is just messed up. May your sis receive divine mercy and return home safely."
@Davardad said:
"Nobody was talking when Jamb was starting madness.... 98% of people writing jamb are kids, but you put them mls away and even put ridiculous time....."
@yinkawaje said:
"Dear God, pls protect her. only you can do it, let your hand go into this situation."
