Mmesoma: What really happened? | TheCable

[OPINION BY AZU ISHIEKWENE] Mmesoma: What really happened? | TheCable

Mmesoma Ejikeme was one of the numerous students of Anglican Girls Secondary School , Nnewi, Anambra State, who took the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in May 2023.

For a country obsessed with politics, it was a surprise that the misery of this young adult and her family toppled political stories on the front pages for days and even drowned the heroics of the World, Commonwealth and African champion athlete, Tobi Amusan, who repeated her 2022 feat at the Diamond League in Stockholm, Sweden.

The mix-up in her date of birth – which actually reflected the date of birth of Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle, the original owner of the slip who took the exam two years ago and scored 138, and the bar code – also suggest strongly that what Mmesoma is showing as her result, was not her result. Mmesoma’s travail is not an isolated case or one-of-a-kind. Perhaps, hers has re-echoed because of the ripple effects. She was on her way to winning a scholarship from the state government, after a N3m award by Innoson Motors Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, when the bubble burst.More audacious is Kaduna State-born Gerald Atung, earlier reported to have obtained 380 points in the same exam.

A candidate is assessed for admission not only on the basis of their UTME score, but also based on their school certificate exam result and their post-UTME score.
