Popular Nigerian TV host, Rufai Oseni has reacted to the confession of Mmesoma Ejikeme, admitting that she forged her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) results.
OsunDailyNG recalls that after the controversies following the claim from the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) that Ejikeme was parading a fake result, she finally admitted to the crime.
In a report that was submitted by a panel set up by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, it was revealed that Mmesoma confessed that her original result was an aggregate score of 249, which she then manipulated with a device and a printout to make it 362.
Reacting to the development via a series of tweets, Oseni lamented that Nigerian society has been built on lies, adding that one cannot phantom the number of results that have been forged by public officeholders.
He opined that Ejikeme’s situation is a reminder to always do the right thing.
He wrote, “Also the scholarship given to Joy worth 3M and other pecks she got should be withdrawn. We can’t build a society on lies!
“In her case calling a spade a spade, JAMB has been Vindicated!
“It’s sad we have built our society on lies. God knows how many results are forged daily by our Public office holders. The truth is bitter! This case is a reminder for us all to do right.
“Also Joy’s father then came out to defend her and must re-evaluate his actions. Also, people that turned this episode into a tribal slugfest must have a re-think. Let’s build a decent society together.”
