She expressed disappointment in herself, questioning the effort she had put into her studies.
“For context, the result of those who wrote on the 16th came out a day before. I got 267 when the cut-off mark for Law was 297. The second clip was me being disappointed in myself, because all the reading was for what then,” she said.

"Better recover soon cause me I don cry finish 212💔and my cut off mark nha 250 for accounting."
SheyShey said:
"Law and Medicine are not the only courses out there! No course in Nigeria is that valuable unless you have connections or you travel abroad so what is the point? My friend tried to get law many times and kept failing, he ended up settling for Social Work and his life has never been the same. Any score above 250 is a very good score and can get you a very good course if you open your mind and do your research on other courses. I also know a friend that got an all expense paid job in Canada just because she studied Early Childhood Education."
