A now-viral video has captured an unusual but emotional scene outside a JAMB CBT centre — parents passionately praying, casting, and binding while their children were writing the 2025 UTME inside the hall.
The video, posted by Facebook user Innocent Tino, shows a group of anxious parents at the entrance of Fedora Grammar School, Umuojima, some on their knees, others with raised hands, praying intensely for their children’s success. The scene has sparked a mix of amusement, concern, and debate across social media platforms.

“Na My Centre Be This” – Reactions Pour In
Commenters quickly identified the location, with UC Ihuoma Favour writing:
“Lol, na my centre be this. Fedora Grammar School Umuojima. Most of the candidates I sat with didn’t even know how to input their registration number. One asked me how to change letters to capital.”
Other users shared similar experiences, joking about how prayer had turned into a “parental CBT strategy.”
A Mix of Faith, Fear, and Frustration
While the video may come off as humorous, it also reveals the deep anxiety many Nigerian parents face during high-stakes exams like UTME. For some, it’s a spiritual battle — not just an academic one.

Scenes like this are becoming more common in various parts of the country, especially in areas where:
- Candidates may not be fully confident with computer usage.
- Parents have invested heavily in preparation and logistics.
- Fear of poor performance or system failure looms large.
A Wake-Up Call?
This incident also subtly raises questions about:
- The digital readiness of candidates who still struggle with basic computer input.
- The pressure on students and their families during the UTME season.
- Whether more orientation and training should be given before candidates sit for CBT-based exams.
Final Thoughts
While the prayers outside Fedora Grammar School might seem over-the-top, they reflect a genuine desire for success in a system that many perceive as unforgiving.
And maybe, just maybe — a little divine intervention wouldn’t hurt.
