Peter Obi on Shocking JAMB Results: Over 78% scored below 200, highlighting Nigeria’s education crisis. Calls for urgent investment and strategic reform.

@PeterObi

I just came across the official results from JAMB showing the recent exam figures.

According to the data shared, a total of 1,955,069 candidates sat for the exam.

Shockingly, out of this number, only about 420,000 candidates scored above 200, while over 1.5 million scored below 200.

This means that over 78% of the total candidates failed to meet the 200-mark threshold — a reflection of the deep-rooted challenges in our educational system.

The latest JAMB results once again highlight the consequences of decades of underinvestment in education, a sector that should be central to our national development strategy.

Currently, Nigeria’s total university enrollment stands at approximately 2 million students. By comparison, the National University of Bangladesh — a single university — has over 3.4 million students enrolled, despite the country having only about 75% of Nigeria’s population. One university in Bangladesh surpasses the entire university enrollment in Nigeria.

Bangladesh, which once lagged behind Nigeria in virtually every measurable development index, now surpasses us in all key areas of development and in the Human Development Index (HDI).

Similarly, Turkey, with a population of about 87.7 million people, has over 7 million university students — more than three times Nigeria’s total university enrollment.

I have consistently said it: education is not just a social service; it is a strategic investment. It is the most critical driver of national development and the most powerful tool for lifting people out of poverty.

We must now invest aggressively in education — at all levels — if we are serious about building a prosperous, secure, and equitable Nigeria.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Politics and Change in Nigeria

Yesterday, at Johns Hopkins University, USA, I honoured the invitation to speak on “Politics and Change in Nigeria” from Professor Peter Lewis, the famous author of “Growing Apart: comparing Indonesia and Nigeria“.

In discussing this very critical issue, which directly impacts the direction of a nation, I pointed out that the failure of a nation depends largely on its Political Leadership. Competent, capable and compassionate political leadership, with integrity, will help nations to achieve sustainable growth and development.

In my speech, I tried to assess 3 of our comparable nations – China, Vietnam and Indonesia, from 1990 till date.

In 1990, the year the measurement of the Human Development Index (HDI) was started, these 3 comparable nations, including Nigeria, were all classified under the medium category of the HDI measurement. 35 years later, 3 of these nations have moved up to the High category of HDI while Nigeria has fallen into the low category.

Within the same period of 35 years, from 1990 to 2025, the GDP Per Capita of these comparable nations have all improved. As of 1990, while Nigeria had a GDP per capita of $556, China had $317, Indonesia had $578, and Vietnam had only $99. Nigeria, obviously, had higher GDP per capita than China, while Vietnam had less than one-fifth of Nigeria’s per capita. Today, Nigeria’s per capita is about one-fifth of Indonesia’s ($5000) and Vietnam’s (4400) GDP per capita and below one-tenth of China’s (1300) GDP per capita.

In the area of poverty, Nigeria with about 50 million poor people, had the least number of people in poverty in 1990 than any of the three countries. While China had about 750 million people living in poverty, Indonesia and Vietnam had 85 million and 60 million poor people, respectively. China alone had about 15 times the number of poor people than Nigeria. Today, however, Nigeria has more poor people than these 3 countries combined.

The question then is, what exactly did these countries do to be able to achieve the desired growth and development? That is where political leadership comes in. These comparable nations, and indeed other progressive nations, unlike Nigeria, have competent leadership with character, capacity and compassion, committed to prioritizing investment in critical areas of developmental measures; Education, Health, and pulling people out of poverty.

A friend told me her mum died of hunger last year! I wanted to laugh, but when I saw she was serious, I had to comport my self.

She said they kept making excuses:

“What does mum need money for?”

Everything she wanted was in the farm, behind their house, she just needed to walk into the farm, harvest and cook.

“But Sis XYX and Bro. ABC sent her money the other day”

“Mummy should be reasonable in her spending Ooo! Times are hard!”

When she died they discovered she had not cooked for the longest time. Her kitchen and utensils were covered in dust and cobwebs. Lizards’ feces littered the whole place. Not even a single grain of any food stuff was found in that house.

During the burial of a woman that died of hunger, people ate and drank, and her mother was survived by 12 Children.

Thank You Jesus,

For in Christ Jesus we live and move and have our being. I live and walk in Christ where there’s no sin, sickness, disease, failure, poverty, defeat, weakness or death.

For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring (Acts 17:28 AMPC)

Ephesians 2:4-6 says, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” When Jesus was raised from the dead, we were raised together with Him and made to sit together with Him in heavenly places.

Therefore, we’re seated with Christ right now, at home in Him and with Him. No wonder we’re told, “…whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” (Colossians 3:17). Then Colossians 2:6 says, _“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.”

Now that we’re in Him, seated together with Him, we must live by and through Him. We must live and walk in the Name of Jesus. How do you live and walk in His Name? It evidently conveys to you that His Name is a place, an environment. When you were born again, you were born into Christ; you were immersed, baptized into Christ; therefore, you’re in Christ.

Understand the difference between “you in Christ” and “Christ in you.” “Christ in you” is about your life, your glory. “You in Christ” is about your environment, where you live. So now that you’re in this environment, live therein. Transact your affairs in, and from, Christ twenty-four hours a day! Hallelujah!

CONFESSION:

I live and walk in Christ where there’s no sin, sickness, disease, failure, poverty, defeat, weakness or death. I enjoy divine health, joy, peace, success, strength, prosperity, beauty and life forevermore, twenty-four hours a day, all year round! That’s my place of inheritance and my place of divine authority and power, where I reign and rule over Satan and the cohorts of darkness. Hallelujah!

Acts 17:28

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

2 Corinthians 5:17

 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 Colossians 1:27

To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of thistle mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Galatians 6:1-18

Isaiah 9-10

Luke 24:13-27

2 Samuel 17-18

Thank You Jesus.

Jesus Loves You.

Until you are born again, God ever abiding presence will never be with you. You must be born again to enjoy continuous victory. Please say the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.

Father! In The Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ Your Son! We Cover Your Son Pastor E A Adeboye With The Precious Blood Of Jesus! He Shall Finish Strong, To Your Glory Through Christ Jesus Our Lord And Saviour! Amen!

May God Bless Israel, Nigeria, And America And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Break Free From Self Rejection; The Chain Of Poverty

Break Free From Self Rejection; The Chain Of Poverty

 

Poverty and Shame shall be to him that refuses instruction (Proverbs 13:18)

Always, I tell people that poverty isn’t the necessarily the absence of required necessities but a mindset or mentality. It has nothing to do with material possession but a way of life. The poverty mentality is entrenched in the system of this world, and a man will remain bound by it as long as he operates under that system. Self-rejection is the chain that poverty (The devil) uses to bind people.

A poor man would say, “I’m nothing. I’m a no good. I’m just a beggar.” He talks that way because of the wrong mentality. So if he meets someone who is well dressed, he’s immediately intimidated. Always, he thinks people address him on the basis of his financial status. Though there’s no signboard on his head that reads, “I’m poor”, he carries the burden of the sign in his heart, and this is revealed in his words or actions. In other words, nobody thinks he’s poor until he says so, as it isn’t written on his head but on his heart.

Most of the time, poor people unwittingly reject themselves because of their financial conditions. You would have to reject yourself first before you feel the rejection of others or from others. Until you reject yourself you wouldn’t care that others reject you. It wouldn’t matter to you if you were turned down because you believe in yourself. For example, Jesus was rejected by His people, yet He didn’t lose His composure. He didn’t regret that He suffered; rather, He felt sympathy for the people, and prayed for them.

Never allow self-rejection take control of your life; rather, build the right mentality today. Let the Word of God wash your mind and build in you the consciousness of a champion (Romans 12:2). When the Word of God mantles you, you would think like a victor! Amen!

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
