Lady Shares Father's Reaction After JAMB Exam
The conversation started when an X user, @esther_stan, asked a question about first-time JAMB experiences. @esther_stan asked: "What was your first JAMB score, and how did your parents react?" Replying to the post, @saucekiki noted that her father was not happy when she came home with 170 and decided not to talk to her for two days. The climax of her story came when she took the exam the second time and scored lower. According to her, she had 140 at her second attempt.
She wrote: "170 My Dad didnt talk to me for 2 days, He later came back to tell me I’ll do better on my next one. Next one was 140 ?" The post, which gathered over 500,000 views and nearly 10,000 likes, sparked a conversation about the pressure students face. While responding to questions in the comment section, the lady revealed that it took her more than two tries to get into school. @saucekiki said: "Na my 4th JAMB I use enter school."
