A Candidate's Open Letter To JAMB's Registrar
May God Terminate my life, if I, ALILI TOCHUKWU CHIDUBEM (Tojesus

unconsciously, by my action or inaction, hesitate to SPEAK the fact that
your presence in JAMB's Office, has brought nothing but total regret,
misfortune , misdirection , and/ or raised many eye brows.
In fact, truth be told Sir, Your tenure so far has remained more or less, Abysmal failure to JAMBITES (2016/17 Jambites specifically), Nigeria parents / guardians , Nigerians In particular and the world at large.
Mr Dibu, Look at the way you have just frustrated 2/3 of 2016 Admission seekers. You have made dunce and Ignoramuses out of many poor but Intelligent Nigerian 2016 admission seekers/ JAMBites, all in the name of your so called " marking scheme or whatever".
Should I talk about how you began this year examination ?? Of course, you will agree with me that your direct or indirect decision to award 40 extra marks to few candidates after the examinations of 27th Feb, 29th Feb, 1st March and/ or 2nd March, in the first place, speaks volume of your purposeless, compromising , barbaric and Non-enhancing-academic-excellence led administration.
This has never happened since the inception of JAMB. You have succeeded in exhibiting &selling your administrative incompetence before Nigerians, Africa & the globe in general. You and your cohorts cannot justify the reasons why many JAMBites are crying every moment, as they check their results.
God will judge you Mr Registrar! You and your caucus have made many Nigerian children to weep. Their parents/ guardians went through hardship to realise the exorbitant money for JAMB registration. Yet, You have allowed political, economic or whatever affiliation, becloud your sense of reasoning, consideration & academic excellence.
Sir, I must confess, You have disgraced Nigerians & posterity will hold you accountable for the demoralization, pain, misfortune, etc you have / is causing Nigerian admission seekers at the moment .
How can someone read all day & nights, follow up your so called new syllabus, pray, fast, sacrificed pleasures , etc, just for you to give such person 130, 170, 140 and many other incredible scores as result ! I am disappointed ! We are Disappointed in you.
