A mother, Michelle Buchi has revealed how she challenged her son to work hard to score good points at the just concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
According to her, instead of talking and advising her son to study hard, she decided to take actions by also registering for the same exam to challenge her son.
The mother revealed her son picked up the challenge when she started reading, researching, and sharing ideas with him.
She wrote: “tired of teaching, instructing and advising on the need for study time creation,”
“Boom! I decided to register for JAMB in order to compete with his score line. Funnily, it made the young man to sit up when he saw me reading, browsing for points and sharing ideas with him,” she wrote in an earlier post on Facebook.
Well, the results are in and it’s what she expected! He won the challenge, scoring 243, against her 230. (The minimum acceptable score is 200, which is part of the requirements for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria)
“As an art student, I had to make efforts to study the latest recommended African/non African literary – novels, plays, poems etc from 2022 – 2025. I must confess, it wasn’t easy. But it was worth it,” she wrote. “After leaving school for more than a decade. I did not also go for JAMB lesson. I was hustling up and down the country. I was just informed of the exam date and boom, I show for exam hall,” she continued.
