A Nigerian woman has become an internet sensation after sharing her primary school examination script from over a decade ago, sparking widespread reactions and nostalgia across social media platforms.
The Viral Examination Paper
The examination paper was shared by X user @jessica_moon04, who revealed she wrote the test when she was in Primary One back in 2011. According to her post, she recently stumbled upon the old exam script and decided to share it online, never expecting it would capture the attention of millions.
The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 1.6 million views on the X platform formerly known as Twitter. What made the examination paper particularly interesting to netizens were two specific questions that raised eyebrows and sparked conversations.
The Controversial Questions
In question number 4, the examiner had asked: "Alcohol is harmful to the body, True/False." To this question, Jessica had responded that it was 'False' and consequently failed that particular question.
However, it was question number 13 that truly captured everyone's attention. The question read: "Drinking kerosene is (a) Good for stomach pain (b) Cure for dullness (c) harmful to the body." Surprisingly, young Jessica had selected option (b), indicating that drinking kerosene was a "Cure for dullness," which also earned her a wrong mark.
Despite failing these two questions, the examination script revealed that Jessica had performed quite well overall, scoring 54 marks out of a possible 60, demonstrating that she had a strong understanding of most subjects covered in the test.
Social Media Reactions
The viral post triggered an avalanche of reactions from Nigerian social media users, with many expressing amusement and surprise at the nature of the questions and Jessica's responses.
User @btunddej commented: "Oh heavens, I've engaged with this person before, no wonder. Jésù! Primary One in 2011? My fault entirely. Honestly, Twitter needs an age display feature; half these netizens are still in digital kindergarten."
Another user, @SoulXtra100, expressed shock at the age difference: "Primary 1 in 2011? And we dey this app dey follow una argue? God pls forgive me for so many indiscretions."
@realmetrah added: "Reasons why I will never argue with anybody on X. Primary 1 in 2011?" highlighting how the revelation made many users reconsider the age demographics of people they engage with on social media platforms.
However, not all reactions focused on age differences. @Cheriemike2 offered a more balanced perspective: "The way some people are reacting to this post is not even necessary, she isn't dragging ages with anyone. You all are dragging as if there is an award for who is the oldest."
The post also sparked connections among users who discovered they attended the same primary school, with @cedar_xt noting: "First time I'll see someone I went to the same primary school with on here."
Meanwhile, @Juneseex claimed familiarity with the school's background: "I know the owner of this school I don't know if he is still a deeper life member He was close to Pastor Kumuyi."
The viral examination script has opened up conversations about educational content, age demographics on social media, and the nostalgic value of rediscovering childhood memorabilia.
