Atambi John Ofar, a young boy who sat for the 2026 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board exam, has lamented about his result despite having sleepless nights in preparation.

Atambi John Ofar finished school in 2025, and decided to wait to the following year to write his JAMB examination.
Explaining his ordeal, he said:
"So, I didn't want to write my JAMB that last year. I wanted to write this year because I felt I was not ready enough. So I stayed, I studied from last year June or so. I've been studying my JAMB past questions, studying my Physics, my Chemistry."
Best student weeps after checking JAMB result
Despite having a strong academic background, including a B3 in WAEC Biology, and being celebrated as a "best student" by his teachers, he scored an aggregate of 172, with a disappointing 46 in Biology.
One of the most confusing aspects of Jonathan's story is his claim that the exam felt easy. He noted that during the test, the questions appeared "very familiar," giving him the impression that he was performing well.
However, his joy was cut short when his result was released. With his Biology result known, he scored 59 in English, 59 in Physics, and 47 in Chemistry.

For a student aspiring to study Nursing, this score is significantly below the competitive cut-off marks for most Nigerian universities.
In the video, Jonathan broke down in tears, expressing his fear of facing his mother. He revealed that his mom had already been bragging to her friends about his academic prowess, expecting him to be among the top scorers in the country.
