The closure of JAMB 2025 registration has left thousands of students stranded, but for some, the pain cuts even deeper. Among the many desperate voices crying out for help, Odili Damilola’s heartbreaking message stands out as a painful reminder of the hopelessness many candidates are facing.
“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.”
These words are not just about missing an exam; they reflect the silent suffering of countless young people who have been held back by circumstances beyond their control. For students like Damilola, education is not just a choice—it is the only hope for a better life. But now, that hope is slipping away.
A Dream Slipping Away
Many candidates faced serious challenges that prevented them from completing their registration on time. Some struggled with financial problems, unable to afford the E-PIN before the deadline. Others were caught in technical issues, unable to generate their profile code or fix NIN-related errors before the portal closed.
Now, they are left with nothing but regret—not because they didn’t want to register, but because time simply ran out while they were still trying to fix their problems.
“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.”
This is not just a plea—it is a cry for help from young people who are desperate for a chance.
One More Year Feels Like a Lifetime
For many students, waiting another year means watching their dreams fade further into the distance. It means staying at home while their mates move forward, while their hopes of going to school, getting a degree, and building a future are put on hold yet again.
Some students have already lost years of their lives, hoping that this would finally be their turn. Now, the thought of waiting another year is too painful to bear.
“I’ve been home for many years now… one more year is not good for me.”
These are not just words—they are the reality of students who feel stuck, abandoned, and helpless.
A Plea for Mercy
Damilola’s message, like those of thousands of others, is a direct appeal to JAMB officials. Candidates are not asking for much—just a little more time, just one more week to complete their registration and hold on to the chance to pursue their dreams.
“God bless you and your children. Everything you lay your hands upon shall prosper.”
These words show that their hope is not lost yet. Despite their pain, they are still praying for mercy, still believing that someone, somewhere, will hear their cries.
A Message to Every Candidate
To every student who feels lost, please do not lose hope. One missed JAMB registration does not mean the end of your future. There are other paths to success, other ways to get into school, and other opportunities that will come.
If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, please talk to someone. You are not alone in this. The pain you feel today will pass, and you will still find your way forward.
Your dreams are still valid. Your future is still bright. And no matter how difficult this moment feels, you will rise again.
please please jamb officials should show mercy on this kids and extend the registration date even if it just one more week please let’s their dreams of writing this exam be supported please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
