Identified on Facebook as Chiomah’s Blog, the woman noted that most parents at the centre complained about the difficulty in getting transport.
Her post read:
“So today my best girl wrote Jamb and I took her to the centre! Her exam was for 9am and I was surprised to find there was a 6.30am set of students and their parents complained about the difficulty for those using public transport.
“While I was there I met a few friends and acquaintances who also had Jamb candidates. I also met a few other parents and we chatted over how the exam was being conducted. There were however two people that stood out to me.
“A sweet dad who brought his daughter… just sitting down and talking with him was so endearing. He shared different things about his children and you could tell he was a very present dad. When his daughter came out of the exam the warm smile and hug they gave each other as he asked her about the exam spoke volumes.
“A young lady who refused to remove her jewellery saying “ I no fit comot this chain, instead I no go write jamb” . A few of the parents appealed to her to remove the beads and she refused. She said it was clear we didn’t have traditionalists in our family and she would not remove what would lead to her being harmed. To the embarrassment of some she went on to say that even when she had sex she didn’t remove them.
“She was the object of discussion for quite a while.. and the statements were the same. “ this one no get home training” .. At the end of the day how your children behave in the public is usually attributed to you. If it’s good we get the praise .. it’s bad we get the blame.…back to my daughter. She finished her exam and we are hopeful for a good result!”
