Man wins scholarship after writing JAMB
The young man, @spparagon, explained that his friend had dared him to take the exam, boasting that he would score higher. While he argued with his friend over who would get a higher score in the UTME exam, his friend bought a UTME form for him so he could take the exam.
He said:
"My close friend paid for my JAMB just so we could see who would score higher, since he already did one previously where he scored 238."
As he explained, he went on to mention the score his friend got in the exam and the one he got after writing his own papers.
He continued:
"I told him I would’ve scored higher if I wrote mine. He scored 255, and I ended up with 262. Funny thing is, I only wrote it for fun."
After explaining what led to the exam, he mentioned that his JAMB score made him eligible for a scholarship, which he initially didn’t plan for, and that scholarship ended up sponsoring his education.

He added:
"Nobody was ready to sponsor my education. That same JAMB result made me eligible for a scholarship I didn’t even plan for. I used it to pay for my 100 level, then started hustling to pay for 200 level till I graduated. If not for that first step, I probably wouldn’t have tried."

"This happened to me in 2011 or so, I wrote jamb to motivate and study with a relative even though I was an undergraduate… I go dey read, him go dey sleep 🤦♂️ I obviously had a better score. That's when I realized people only want things, most are not ready to do the work."
@haryluv shared:
"Stories like this serves as an inspiration for others to know that sometimes miracles come in unusual packages."
@emochris12 noted:
"That was the type of "friendly competition" we had in our days, pushing each other to become better. These days, secondary school students compete more on vices.
@MiseAyodeji noted:
"When you find out your friend didn't pay for the jamb form because he wanted to see who would score higher."
DPhantomer added:
"My first jamb 246, second jamb 252 life's been crazy every since."
@jengooner said:
"From your story, I don't think he did that to see who scores higher. He wanted to help out without you feeling less. That was the best way to help someone he saw potentials in. I hope you two are still close? All the best in life."
