"Nigerian has happened to me,
They just kidnapped my two younger brothers on their way to Otukpo to write JAMB.

OPM pastor calls for cancellation of JAMB
In reaction, Apostle Chibuzor compared how people in other countries gain admission into the university.
Sharing his concerns, he said:
"I have been saying this for more than 8 years now.
Scrap jamb.
Nigeria is the only country you write jamb to gain admission into university.
OPM Church for more than 16 years have been sending students on scholarship to USA, UK, POLAND, CYPRUS,CANADA, GHANA, COTONOU etc.
In the above developed countries all they needed to give my students admission into university is waec and school fee.
But in Nigeria universities JAMB, WAEC, one exam i can’t remember the name and if you fail any of them you have to wait till next year.
What is our sin?"
X user reacts to JAMB candidates' kidnap
Another X user also commented on the disappearance of the young JAMB candidates who were on their way to their exam centres.
The X user, identified as Alex Onyia, spoke about JAMB ordering its candidates to arrive at their exam centres as early as 6:30 a.m. despite the security risk involved.
He said:
"I raised this concern to JAMB last year and did repeated reminders to them this year but it fell on deaf ears.
How on earth can you ask students to come for an exam from 6:30 a.m. in a country extremely unsafe as Nigeria?
How I wish I can help. I saw it ahead and cried out."
