@egi_nupe___ said a boy or a girl could get the money. On why he made the offer, the lawyer said he wants to do an experiment. He wrote on X:
“I have 100k to give any JAMB candidate that scored above 300 with ACTIVE social media accounts. Either a boy or girl.
“Please help me find one. I want to experiment something.”
The lawyer’s offer was initially N100k before he increased it in a follow-up tweet.
“24hours. I made a post about it already. Still open. Money increased from 100k to 150k.”
JAMB had said 0.5% of candidates scored 300 and above in the just-concluded UTME.

“It’s absolutely impossible. Even for some careers you can’t. Some of us have been here since 2012, but we are still crawling. The moment I’m planning for another professional exam I don commit.”

“I see the trap… such a person can’t be active on social media. I know waiting my eyes see before I score 261 during my time omo ogbon ni Nupe lawyer yi.”
@Mn_Nabo said:
“Hahaha, most people are missing the point. The experiment here is to prove it is almost impossible to be so buried in “content creation/being active online” and still score so high.”
@OfficialOzovehe said:
“I know of two candidates who score over 300+ but, I’ll have to confirm if they have an active social media account.
“Talking of an active SM account, must it be X (Twitter)?”
@elgeotaofeeq said:
“This is the opportunity to figure out children that used to follow us argue on Twitter. Just imagine a secondary school boy be follow drag issue on June 12 and Abacha’s rule. If I hear una talk again na ‘pankere’ I go bring comot.”
Man makes monetary offer to JAMB candidates
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a man had made an offer to a select range of UTME candidates.
Some candidates who performed brilliantly in the just concluded 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would smile to the bank following an announcement by a young Nigerian man.
An X user identified simply as Àgbàakin of Europe @powerfulbadeeu, in a post shared on his page on Wednesday, May 1, vowed to return the JAMB registration fee of some UTME candidates who scored “275” & above.
