A woman named Uzoamaka Ononogbo Akwiwu has drawn public attention to the impressive performance of students from Deeper Life High School (DLHS) in Owerri regarding the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations. She praised the school management for raising outstanding students who consistently achieve high scores.
Remarkable Observation About DLHS Students
In a Facebook post on April 23, Akwiwu noted that DLHS in Owerri has demystified the JAMB exam to such an extent that a score above 300 no longer seems remarkable among its students. She observed that one would almost need to give a pep talk to a student who scored above 300 before sharing their result with them.
Akwiwu expressed sincere gratitude to the school management for cultivating excellence in their students. She revealed that someone had recommended the school to her, and she has no regrets. She emphasized that the same high standard is maintained across all DLHS campuses nationwide.
Zero-Tolerance Policy and Academic Dominance
Deeper Life High School, a Christian boarding school founded on November 6, 2010, by Pastor (Dr.) W.F. Kumuyi, operates 23 campuses across Nigeria. The school enforces a zero-tolerance policy for examination malpractice and has consistently produced students who dominate the JAMB exams, often scoring 300 and above. In 2025 alone, 300 DLHS students nationwide achieved scores of 300 or higher in the JAMB exam.
Public Reactions
The woman's observation sparked reactions on social media. Cynthia Joe asked for the school's location, while Emeka Okonkwo inquired about its specific address in Owerri. Oladoyin Adefarati O Nelson described it as a great review, and Chinwe Onyemma called it awesome. Kingsley Chinyere expressed amazement, and Chinwe Ify Uchechukwu noted that there is still hope for Nigeria's school system. Funbi Phebe Adeyokunnu stated that she has admired the school for the past five years, calling it simply amazing.
