A Nigerian lady who is so proud of her brother has taken to social media to share his new score after he was earlier given 173 in his fist UTME 2025 exam.
The boy sat for the examination in April but was among the 379,000 candidates impacted by the glitch acknowledged by JAMB.
His sister, Soma, shared on X that he initially received a score of 173 — a disappointing result for someone known to be intelligent

However, after retaking the exam, the boy, Onyiuke Samuel Chiemelie, scored 350.
According to the result shared by his sister Soma, he earned 77 in English Language, 98 in Physics, 81 in Biology, and 94 in Chemistry.
She noted that he was ill during the exam and had to prepare for it while also studying for his WAEC.
She wrote; “My brother’s JAMB results just came out today. He got a whopping 350/400. This is after jamb had a glitch and gave him 173. He wrote this exam with a 2 days notice, while preparing for his WAEC and also heavily sick. He is also 15 years old and this is his first attempt at JAMB.”
She added; “I want to say a big thank you for every body that helped call out jamb, because I can’t imagine how many young minds would have been broken or how many would have given up hope. To the likes of @winexviv and the rest. Thank you ❤️.”
