“This Is My Last Chance” – Abdulrahman Maryam Aladi Begs for JAMB 2025 E-PIN Extension as Mother’s Retirement Nears

The closure of JAMB 2025 registration has left many students heartbroken, but for some, it is more than just disappointment—it is the end of a dream. Among the many desperate voices begging for an extension, the emotional plea of Abdulrahman Maryam Aladi stands out as a painful reminder of the harsh reality many Nigerian students face.

“Please, in the name of Almighty Allah, extend the date. If I don’t get admitted this year, that means I won’t be able to further anymore because my mom is the only one taking care of the responsibilities, and she will retire this year.”

With tears in her heart, Maryam is not just asking for more time—she is fighting for her future.

A Future Hanging by a Thread

For many students, missing JAMB registration is painful, but for Maryam, it is devastating. This was supposed to be her year, her chance to finally secure admission and lift some of the burden off her mother’s shoulders. But now, as the registration deadline has passed, her entire future feels uncertain.

Her mother, a single parent, has carried the weight of providing for her, ensuring that she gets an education despite the struggles. But this is the last chance—her mother is set to retire this year, meaning there will be no more financial support for her education.

If she does not gain admission in 2025, she fears she may never get another opportunity to further her studies.

A Silent Struggle Too Many Face

Maryam’s story is not unique. There are thousands of students like her—young people from single-parent homes, low-income families, and difficult backgrounds who see education as their only escape from hardship.

For these students, one missed opportunity does not just mean waiting another year. It means possibly never going to school again, never getting the chance to build a better life.

It means watching their dreams fade away because of circumstances beyond their control.

A Plea for Mercy

Maryam’s cry is not just for herself—it is for every student facing the same fate. She, like many others, is begging JAMB officials to reopen the E-PIN portal, even for just a few days, so they can complete their registration.

They are not asking for much—just a small extension, a chance to secure their future before it is too late.

You Are Not Alone

To Maryam and every other student who feels like this is the end, please do not give up. Missing JAMB this year does not mean you will never go to school. There are other pathways to admission, other opportunities to further your education, and other doors that will open.

Your dreams are still valid. Your future is still ahead of you. No matter how impossible things seem now, do not give up hope—because hope is what keeps us moving forward.
