“Really wish I have the means, I would have loved to have this effort replicated in my village.. kudos to you and your team. You guys rock. Super proud of what you’re doing. Chukwu gozie gi nwannem.”
@emybryan said:
“I hope the next ones will get some help with English I noticed the score is usually low. With a little help these guys will easily do 350 and above. Kudos to you and the team.”
@SilverandGold88 said:
“Has anyone noticed that students with scores over 300 seem to have a low score in English lang? Those with 320+ have their English language score in the 60’s range? Is it a coincidence that these guys excel in all other subjects except English lang?”
@kpakopikin said:
“I noticed most jamb results coming from students in villages and rural areas english is always a problem.”
@MmadubuikeTobe said:
“He took the risk, and it paid off…
“Deferring that admission to fight for scholarship is what I call going all in.
“Even nature will know that his plan A,B,C & D is getting the scholarship.
“He should be our ambassador in Kwechiri.
“I hope I get to meet him someday .”
Village boy scores high in JAMB UTME
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a village boy had scored high in the 2024 UTME.
While sharing the boy’s result on X, an excited Alex gave an interesting background about the boy named Aneke Kosisochukwu Kasiemobi.
According to Alex, Kosisochukwu dropped out of school two years ago and did not want to take the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam because he lacked the money for it.
