Netizens Offer Advice and Suggestions
Legit.ng has compiled some reactions to the woman's post below:
De Miraculous Boy said: "It's very simple. Since it's IMSU, they do post utme and it can help to boost the score and give a higher chance of being admitted. Which course did she apply for and which one do she want to change to? I can guide her till she gets admitted, though.. I'm saying this because I'm in IMSU and I know how the system works. Let her not give up yet. There is hope for her."
Samuel Uche said: "Ma I'm sorry but it's a 20% chance she should calm down and prepare again."
Timothy Adeleye said: "She go see poly shar. The truth be told, no Federal uni or mostly state uni will give her admission with jamb score below 180, if only she wants to settle for poly."
Loveth Kenechukwu said: "There are affordable private uni's she can check...... And jamb ain't the only process to enter school..... Explore alternatives."
Genevieve Martins said: "Unless if is a private university then she will have more chance based on what she wants to study."
Gigiyu Tanko Dango said: "Federal University Dutsinma, Katsina State, can admit her with that score though depending on the course she applied."

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian mum had reacted after her daughter scored below 150 in the UTME. Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian mum had posted her son's UTME and WAEC results on social media. In a now-viral tweet on April 21, the proud mum appreciated God for her son's results in both examinations. While people celebrated her son's UTME and WAEC results, some other netizens were drawn to the contrast between his chemistry score and his overall UTME score. While Muhammad Abubakar Aliyu scored a distinction (grade A1) in chemistry in his WAEC exam, he managed a 49 in the same subject in his UTME. This prompted some netizens to question how he scored a distinction in one exam and fell short in the other.
