- A Nigerian girl who sells fish did well in the 2024 JAMB UTME despite the odds stacked against her
- The girl studied for the examination at the place where she sells fish and also lost her father shortly before the UTME
- Despite all the challenges, the girl’s results came out relatively well, as she scored 224 marks in the 2024 UTME
The UTME score of a Nigerian girl has been posted online and people are praising her for her performance.
The girl’s JAMB UTME score was made public by Alex Onyia, an education expert and learning advocate.
The girl is named Anonde Chisom Emmanuella and she had many things going against her before the JAMB UTME.
She is said to be a fish seller who studies at the business place, thereby facing many distractions.
Chisom also lost her father shortly before the JAMB UTME but she still posted a good result.
According to Alex, Chisom wished to score 300 marks in UTME but she ended up scoring 224.
His words:
“This youngster from my village lost her dad few days before the JAMB exam and she still managed to perform. She is the only child. Every evening after lessons, she sells ice fish in the market and one unique thing about her is that she is always studying until a new customer arrives. She has been in tears for not reaching 300 as she had dream’t of but we assured her that her academics will be sorted. I see a star in her and I know she will make us proud.”
