Lagos, Nigeria – Na wah! Na so UNILAG finally finish im Post-UTME online screening for 2025/2026 session wey happen between 1st and 4th September 2025, and of course, e gather plenty candidates — about 20,464 pipo come try their luck o.
But as dem say, where light dey shine, shadows still dey waka. Some candidates no gree follow rules and regulations wey dem set for the exam. Na here wahala come start, as some of dem engage in serious malpractice. Poor them (I mean, the ones wey just wan do am right)!
UNILAG no dey play with exam malpractice, e don set zero-tolerance policy wey mean say those wey don jam their heads for wahala fit wave dem good-bye as dem go be ineligible for admission. Na wetin dem call dem? Cut soap for dem self! (As per, e no dey funny).
According to the university, investigation dey go on fine and dem get evidence wey raw, wey go help dem clear all the infraction matter. In fact, dem encourage candidates to always use official channels to reach out if dem get questions or wahala. Na trusty communication way dem dey promote make sure say everybody dey on the same page.
“No be say we no fit catch dem,” UNILAG talk. “We dey hold evidence wey show wetin happen, and we go deal with am properly.” Dem also make we sabi say fair play and integrity na vital for dem admission process. So, if you think say you fit cheat your way in, think am a second time, my padi!
Meanwhile, candidates wey no do any wrongdoing fit relax small as dem go get their results like normal, but those wey just wan spoil things for everybody fit receive hot pepper soon (abi wetin you expect?).
The online screening, wey some pipo dey praise as beta measure to curb malpractice, still dey face backlash because the technology wey dem use get some glitches. E don lead to serious wahala as some innocent candidates don dey receive mails wey dey accuse dem wrongly of malpractice like say dem don catch thief for market.
For Lagos, many students don express frustration. One candidate wey score 350 in JAMB talk say na rubbish as im dey dey flagged by AI detection system. E don create some anxiety wey no be small. “Like seriously? I work hard, and this machine come dey point finger at me?” E add. If dem fit flag my guy for such score, wetin you go call that one?
Students dey cry say dem security measures too much. If you no gree position your camera well, or if your light refuse to shine, dem fit put your head for the guillotine of exam malpractice! Tension no dey small, my people.
Education experts don talk say na because universities dey use this tech without proper checks. “Wey were they? Glitches no suppose determine student fate, but here we are,” one go-shay online. Na so, while UNILAG dey tok say the review dey go on well, e get plenty work to do make these candidates no dey suffer for the actions of digital technology wey no sabi wetin dey happen.
In the end, students dey pray say dem will get better transparency and communication from all these institutions, because nobody wan dey live in fear of wahala for something wey dem no do. Na Weytin dem dey create as smooth sailing be full of rocks and waves now. Na here we dey watch, as UNILAG dey promise to give results as soon as dem finish to review everything. Padi, hold your heart tight, make dem no collect your admission paper because of bad PR (Public Relations) action from machine!
