"Is it true that you can't use connection to get admission to the University of Ibadan? I don't want to be duped please. Last year I got 314 and I was given 3 points away from cutoff but this year I got 317 and someone volunteered to help me to get slot. Please I need your advice on this, I don't want to be duped."

"Trust the process and believe in your ability. As you do well in utme, prepare for UI post UTME."
