- Says He’s Surprised She Was Still Able To Perform Well In The Exam
A witness who was in Mmesoma Ejikeme’s Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam room the day she wrote her exam has described his interactions with the troubled student.
Ilumina Light, who was also at the Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Centre for Human Development), the centre where Mmesoma wrote the exam, claims that the student’s computer malfunctioned, preventing her from continuing, and the examiners had to step in.
He added that she was still able to achieve a score higher than 200 despite that. He, therefore, urged Nigerians not to minimize her brilliance.
In his words: “What you don’t know is this. MMESOMA actually scored 249, a high score that can gain admission easily. It doesn’t stop there. During the CBT, her system developed glitches that took examiners quite some time to resolve before she continued, to finish at the same time as others.
“To have scored that high despite probably not finishing, alongside the disorientation, is remarkable. Even more, she has reportedly been carrying first from primary to secondary school.
“This is a girl too passionate about, not just studying, but excelling. She has a mentality for perfection and gives her all to get it – therein was the danger by the devil, and a lesson to us all, in the manner we seek anything in life. Avoid desperation.
“Watch her interviews, and see the confidence oozing out, though her intellect was masterfully deployed to hide the truth, then, if we condemn this little girl, we should equally take our minds back, to all those hurriedly packaged affidavits from fully knowledgeable adults, scattered in billions of papers across the country.
“This young girl is filled with a rare brilliance we should harness for the growth of our society. We should not dim the great lights we have, or else we eventually end in darkness and won’t find our way anymore.
“As for MMESOMA, I do not doubt that God shall live up to His word and make her imperfection on this matter perfect unto His cause for her life”
