Socialite Enioluwa laments harsh conditions faced by JAMB candidates

Date:

Nigerian socialite and content creator, Adeoluwa Prince Enioluwa, has raised alarm over the harrowing experiences candidates of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) endure while trying to secure admission into tertiary institutions across the country.

In a series of posts shared via his Instagram account, Enioluwa condemned what he described as an unnecessary and dangerous disregard for human life in Nigeria’s educational system.

Highlighting the rigid and unforgiving structure of the national entrance examination, Enioluwa expressed deep concern over the fate of students who miss the stipulated 6:30 AM call time for their examination.

According to him, a single error in timing could cost candidates an entire academic year, with no opportunity to retake the examination until the following cycle.

“Even worse is that anyone who misses the 6:30 AM call time has to wait an entire year for another chance to write the exam, meaning they don’t have the chance to go to the University not until another year. 1 Whole Year!” he lamented.

Beyond administrative inefficiencies, Enioluwa drew attention to even graver concerns—reports of students who went to sit for the examination but have now gone missing.

He emphasized that such tragic incidents are not only avoidable but also indicative of a broader systemic failure that fails to prioritize the safety and well-being of young Nigerians.

“People’s children went to write an exam. Now they can’t find their children. A thing that could have been avoided,” he stressed.

Taking a broader societal view, the socialite condemned the alarming normalization of death and loss in Nigeria. He warned that the country’s apparent desensitization to human tragedy poses a dangerous threat to the nation’s moral and social fabric.

“Again, the central issue is the lack of value placed on a human life. We have become so familiar with death in this part of the world, that we now think it is OKAY for someone to die. Such a dangerous thing,” he noted with palpable frustration.

Enioluwa’s comments have since sparked widespread conversation online, with many Nigerians resonating with his sentiments and calling for urgent reforms not only within the JAMB system but across the entire educational sector.

The computer based examination started on Friday, April 25, 2025 and it is expected to last in the next couple of weeks across the nation.

Others echoed his fears, pointing to a troubling culture where bureaucratic processes and administrative negligence continue to endanger young lives.
