334 In JAMB, 88 In PUTME, Merit In Unilorin- Still At Home Because Of School Fee
In December 2025, months after secondary school, I registered for an online JAMB tutorial. I paid myself from home lessons I did for junior students. Despite tight routines, I scored 334, aiming for Computer Science at Unilorin.
I thought 334 would be small in Unilorin, a highly competitive school. I prepared again and scored 88% in PUTME. Then came months of waiting for admission list - months of depression and rumors.
I got merit. My father gave me 40k for acceptance fee and said that was all he could do. Then school resumed Oct 5.
My school fee is still glaring at me. Students are doing vlogs and posting fee receipts. I am here hustling silently for support. I know even if I pay school fee, nothing will remain for personal things.
The main trap? You must pay at once. No installment.
How do I apply for NELFUND when I must pay huge entry fee before NELFUND even starts?
Brilliance got me admission, but system needs to help brilliance stay. Unilorin Alumni can adopt at least 50 indigent merit students for first semester, like UNILAG does.
My advice for JAMB 2027 students from humble homes: start looking for sponsors for your first fee now. Don't wait till admission.
Brilliance is not enough. Preparation must include financial preparation.[b][/b][/color][color=#006600]
