@Nairaexchanger: They should produce the original shaded results. The girl has revealed the QR code on her documents is linked to someone else. This is a serious allegation, as there is indication that JAMB may be compromised.
@OlusuyiE: I listened to the same video. I sew a lady that the nation needs to rally around to demand the fact. Thank you for taking the lead. God bless you ma’am.
@PEC_Concepts: It’s becoming glaring that JAMB has been compromised. I hope they’re able to prove us wrong on this. We wait.
