The closure of JAMB 2025 E-PIN sales has left thousands of candidates devastated, but for some, the pain has become unbearable. Among the many desperate voices pleading for a second chance, a heartbreaking comment from Irem Jackson has sent shockwaves across social media.
“I just feel like committing suicide every time I remember that E-PIN has been closed,” Jackson wrote in response to another candidate’s emotional plea.
These words reflect the deep frustration, hopelessness, and despair many students are experiencing. For months, they have prepared, hoping to finally take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and secure a place in a university. Now, with the registration deadline officially over, their dreams feel shattered.
“One More Year is Not Good for Me” – A Cry for Help
Jackson’s comment came as a reply to another desperate candidate, Odili Damilola, who had earlier begged for mercy.
“Please and please, I beg you in the name of God. I’ve been home for many years now, one more year is not good for me and lots of us,” Damilola wrote.
“Financial and technical issues delayed most of us. Please, we beg you in your mercy, have mercy on us and give us just one more week to get our E-PIN and complete our registration.”
Like Damilola, thousands of students across Nigeria are begging for the reopening of the JAMB E-PIN portal. Many of them faced serious challenges with NIN verification, profile code generation, and financial struggles, only to realize that time had run out before they could complete their registration.
“It Feels Like the End” – The Pain of Another Year at Home
For many candidates, writing JAMB is more than just an exam—it is a lifeline to a better future. Some have been waiting for years, hoping that this would finally be their chance to escape poverty, help their families, and pursue their dreams. Now, the thought of waiting one more year feels like an unbearable burden.
It is not just about missing an exam; it is about watching their dreams slip away while life moves forward without them. Many of these students come from homes where education is the only hope for a better life. Some have seen their friends move on, gain admission, and start their future, while they remain stuck in the same place.
The pressure, frustration, and feeling of being left behind can be overwhelming. For some, like Jackson, it has pushed them to the edge of despair.
“You Are Not Alone” – A Message of Hope
To Jackson and every other candidate feeling this pain, please do not give up on life. Missing JAMB this year is not the end of your journey.
There are still other ways to gain admission—polytechnic programs, direct entry, diploma courses, pre-degree programs, and part-time options. JAMB is not the only way to success. You still have a chance to continue your education, achieve your dreams, and build the future you want.
If you are struggling with overwhelming thoughts, please reach out for help. Talk to someone—a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a counselor. You are not alone, and this moment of pain will pass.
Your future is not over. You are stronger than this pain, and brighter days are still ahead.
Please jamb director 🙏 😢 I beg on behalf of my friends, hope you know this country isn’t fear for us that struggle and suffering to get money to register jamb only for us to be hear that it’s closed 😢, this is unfair hope this message finds you well and try to consider us for the better of the country and let us benefit this opportunity in country for once.
Hmm your begging this jamb guys oh ok oh just know they don’t care about u they ate greedy people
JAMB SHOULD PLEASE SHOW MERCY AND EXTEND THE REGISTRATION LIKE OTHER YEARS, EVEN FOR 2 DAYS PLEASE.
Please give us another chance like two to three days for generating E-PIN and jamb registration 🙏🙏🙏
Please let right judgment prevail. I’m pleading on their behalf. If they had their way they won’t be in this situation now. JAMB please reconsider.

Excuse me, regardless of the situation you should be careful how you speak those foul are not to be said to even yourself talk less of jamb
my father a civil servant was paid the day jamb closed their portal.i have been devasted by the news.even during ramadan still no mercy.is it a crime to be a nigerian I HATE THIS COUNTRY
There’s no need to insult the jamb. It’s late already so u just have to go for direct entry.
There are requirements for direct entry what if we don’t have them
Pls jamb I was actually having problems with my nin before I could solve the problem jamb has closed the portal pls give us another chance maybe three to four days pls
I have seen that jamb is very very useless to Nigerian students for adding them in a horrible condition
Let them open that portal so students can register 🙂🙂
Civil servants were paid lately yet jamb couldn’t extend the portal closing date. it is becoming a crime to be a nigerian especially if ure from a poor back ground
we are really suffering in this country from this administration,academically and in every day life.jamb registrar is also part of the govt so the frustration is coming from common angles .very terrible people God will condemn you all
very wicked and terrible leaders .God will never hear your pleas for refusing to hear ours. is this how you’ll treat ur fellow nigerians.japa if i had the oportunity
their mandate is 2m candidates not all eligible candidates.they said they’ve reach their projection.so profile code delay is deliberate to limit the numbers of candidate.why the refusal to extend when they’re aware of the hardship
