  Where dreams are tested: Jambites in the exam hall By Victor Olubiye As thousands of candidates prepare to sit for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board this week, the conversations are familiar—cut-off marks, past questions, and “how to score above 300.” But beyond the tutorials, motivational posts, and late-night reading, there are realities many jambites will encounter—things no one really tells them. This is not in the brochure. It is not in the syllabus. Yet, it shapes the outcome. The Fear That Starts Before the Exam For many candidates, the exam does not begin in the hall—it begins days before. There is the silent anxiety: “What if I don’t pass?” “What if this is another year?” In homes across Nigeria, expectations hang in the air. Parents remind, relatives ask questions, and comparisons quietly creep in. A first-time candidate in Ogun State, David, told this reporter, “I’ve been reading, but sometimes...

From Conference to Calling: CPC Charges Women to Build Homes, Lead Change Nationwide

Image
Participants' Jubilation By Victor Olubiye The 26 Annual National Sisters Conference of Calvary Pentecostal Church International (CPC) ended with a strong charge to women across Nigeria: move from inspiration to action and become builders of homes, faith, and society. Held from Thursday, May 30, the multi-day gathering brought together women from across the country for an intensive programme of teachings, workshops, lectures, and prayer sessions focused on spiritual growth and practical impact. Featured Image From The Event At the centre of the conversations was a clear message being “The Chosen Woman” goes beyond attending a conference; it demands obedience and application.

“I Was Expecting 300+”: UTME Candidate Who Scored 277 Speaks After Dropping to 257 (Exclusive Interview)

  Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) logo By Victor Olubiye When Deborah saw her 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result—257—she was not only disappointed; she was confused. For a candidate who had previously scored 277 and spent months preparing even more intensely for this year’s examination, the figure on the screen did not reflect her expectations, effort, or confidence after the test. “I was surprised… how can I have 257 as my aggregate?” she said. “I was really expecting something above 300.” Deborah, who is aspiring to study Medicine and Surgery, says her preparation this year was driven by a clear goal: securing a competitive score that would increase her chances of admission into a Nigerian university and potentially qualify her for scholarship opportunities. A Second Attempt, Higher Expectations Unlike her first attempt at the UTME, Deborah approached the 2026 examination with what she describes as “more structure, discipline, and seriou...

  Official logo of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the agency in charge of UTME in Nigeria By Victor Olubiye As the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) winds down, thousands of candidates across Nigeria are already battling anxiety over low scores. But education experts say one truth many students overlook is this: a low UTME score does not automatically mean the end of their university dreams. Every year, millions sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, a central requirement for admission into tertiary institutions. Yet, despite its importance, it is not the only pathway into higher education. Candidates writing the UTME examination in a CBT Centre In reality, several alternative admission routes exist—many of which are officially recognized by universities and polytechnics across the country. One of the most popular alternatives is the JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board) programme. This one-year foundat...

  Candidates leaving a CBT centre after UTME examination By Victor Olubiye As the 2026 UTME draws to a close, a silent divide is already forming among candidates across Nigeria. While thousands settle into a routine of waiting, hoping, and endlessly checking their phones, a smaller but smarter group is taking deliberate steps that could determine whether they gain admission—or lose another year. For many families, this period may look like a pause. In reality, it is one of the most decisive stages in a student’s academic journey. The gap between writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and securing admission can stretch for months. Education experts warn that treating this period casually often leads to missed opportunities, costly mistakes, and avoidable delays.

My Church or Nothing: The Silent War of Altars Tearing Nigerian Families Apart

Compilation of Nigerian Top Churches Logos   By Victor Olubiye In homes where prayers should unite, a different kind of battle is unfolding—silent, emotional, and deeply personal. Across Nigeria, more parents are drawing hard spiritual lines, insisting their children must never cross into another denomination. What should be a shared faith in Christ is becoming a battlefield of identity, loyalty, and fear—raising a troubling question: when did Christianity in Nigeria turn into a competition of churches rather than a communion of believers? In a country where Christianity thrives in diversity—from the white-garment traditions of Celestial Church of Christ to the evangelical fervor of Living Faith Church Worldwide, the doctrinal depth of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, and the revivalist roots of Christ Apostolic Church—one would expect unity in diversity. Instead, what is emerging is a subtle but growing “war of churches,” often fought not on pulpits, but within families. A young ma...
