Lots of questions begging for an answer. How long has this so called technical glitch been happening unnoticed/without knowing while we keep blaming the wards for poor performances? Who is responsible for the negligence? Why was it so pronounced/particular/peculiar in one region of the country? Was it deliberate or accidental?

What has jamb been using all the revenues it generates for year in year out?
What's going to be the financial compensations for the affected, mentally disoriented candidates?
Then a 10 years comprehensive review of the entire system should be done.

Luckylife:
Tears of what ! Can the tears bring 50% of the damage their incompetent have caused to innocent adolescent?

One candidate has already committed suicide in Ikorodu because of this stupid error.

Dont blame JAMB for your failures – MURIC tells candidates

Following widespread dissatisfaction over the mass failure in the 2025 JAMB examination, with some parents and candidates threatening legal action against the t issions and Matriculation’s Board, JAMB, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has urged candidates to accept the outcome and refrain from blaming the examination body.

This appeal was made in a statement released on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, by Professor Ishaq Akintola, Executive Director of the human rights group.

Clarifying his position, Professor Ishaq Akintola stated, “A few parents and candidates who failed the 2025 JAMB examination have threatened to sue the national examination body over alleged technical glitches. But this is akin to crying over spilled milk,

"The results could have been different if the candidates had truly prepared. Instead of studying diligently, many spent their time partying, loitering, and relying on so-called ‘magic centers’ for success. Unfortunately for them, JAMB outsmarted those tactics.”

“Addressing the concerns over technical issues during the examination, MURIC emphasized that candidates and their parents should have a clearer understanding of the situation,

“The organization pointed out that any technical problems experienced at CBT centres cannot be blamed directly on JAMB, especially since the board’s headquarters is far removed from those centres"

According to MURIC, complaints should be directed at the individual CBT centres responsible for the glitches.

While the law establishing JAMB may suggest some level of vicarious liability, the technical realities indicate that the faults lie outside JAMB’s immediate control.

MURIC further advised candidates who failed the exam to accept the outcome, assess their level of preparation, and approach future attempts with renewed seriousness rather than casting blame.
The group also called on parents to stop overindulging their children, stressing that the future belongs to hardworking, dedicated youths not to those who are cuddled and unprepared for the demands of the modern age.

“Parents must stop pampering their children,” MURIC stated. “The future is for those who work hard, not for those still being breastfed at 25.”

“We charge parents to hands with JAMB and the Nigerian authorities in cleansing the system already permeated with moral decadence. JAMB is not the enemy of those candidates, the parents who fail to discipline them and the permissive society which idolises indolence and demonises dilligence are their foes. Lick your wounds, leave JAMB alone.”

[/b] Demand For Sharia In Yoruba Land Borne Out Of Self-interest, Political Undertone — Mudir Markaz [b]


Sheikh Muhammad Habbibullah Adam Abdullah El-Ilory, Director of the Arabic and Islamic Training Centre (Markaz) and Founder of Markaz University College, has strongly criticised renewed calls for establishing Shari’a courts in parts of Yorubaland.

The Islamic scholar stated that these demands, which have sparked debate within and beyond the Muslim community, are driven by self-interest and political motives rather than genuine religious concerns.

Tribune Online reports that some netizens also took to social media, reacting differently to the news of the planned inauguration of a Sharia Court in Oyo State. This came after a flyer went viral on social media announcing plans by the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria, Oyo State chapter, to inaugurate a Sharia Court in Oyo town and its environs in January 2025.

While some expressed for the announcement, others strongly criticised it.

In an interview, the Markaz Director emphasised that Shari’a has always been a part of the lives of Muslims in Yorubaland, even before the arrival of colonial rulers, and continues to be practised within the framework of existing Customary Courts. He questioned the motives behind the renewed agitations, arguing that they are not rooted in sincere Islamic practice but rather in personal and political ambitions.

Sheikh El-Ilory pointed out that Shari’a was in practice among Yoruba Muslims long before the arrival of British colonialists. However, due to the religious diversity of the South West—where Islam, Christianity, and traditional religions coexist—the Constitution did not formally acknowledge Shari’a for the region as it did for the North.

Instead, he explained, Customary Courts were established to cater to the religious and cultural needs of various groups, with representatives from Islam, Christianity, and traditional beliefs adjudicating cases based on their respective doctrines.

“Despite not being explicitly recognised in the Constitution, Shari’a governs various aspects of our lives, from marriage and inheritance to naming and burial ceremonies,” Sheikh El-Ilory explained. He noted that Ilorin, which historically straddles the North and South West, has continued to operate Shari’a courts due to its unique position, he added.

While acknowledging that the call for Shari’a is not new, Sheikh El-Ilory recalled that a similar push occurred in 1978 during the drafting of Nigeria’s Constitution ahead of the Second Republic. At that time, according to the scholar, Chief M.K.O. Abiola advocated for Shari’a to be included in the Constitution, but his efforts were questioned by prominent scholars, including Sheikh Adam Abdullah El-Ilory.

“Sheikh Adam asked M.K.O. Abiola: ‘Have you been prevented from practising your religion? Has anyone stopped you from conducting marriages, burials, or inheritance according to Islamic law?’ When Abiola answered in the negative, the agitations were abandoned,” he recounted.

Sheikh El-Ilory believed that today’s push for Shari’a in Yorubaland is not a religious necessity but a means for certain individuals to gain political influence. “Some people are using Shari’a as a tool to sideline respected indigenous Muslim leaders and take over the leadership of Islam in Yorubaland, particularly in the Robita,” he said.

The scholar noted that several South West states, including Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, and Ondo, have outrightly rejected the establishment of Shari’a courts, emphasising that Muslims in these states already practise Shari’a in their daily lives without government interference.

“When Ogun State refused to approve Shari’a courts, some questioned whether indigenous Muslims exist there. But the reality is that Yoruba Muslims have long intermarried, conducted naming ceremonies, and buried their dead in accordance with Islamic law. If these do not align with Shari’a, then what exactly do they mean by Shari’a?” he asked.

Sheikh El-Ilory also dismissed claims that Nigeria is a secular state, clarifying that the country is instead a multi-religious society where no single religion is given preference in governance. He traced the origin of secularism to medieval Europe, where the Catholic Church once wielded excessive power over state affairs before the rise of scientific reasoning diminished its influence.

Mudir Markaz firmly stated that the push for Shari’a in Yorubaland is unnecessary and could potentially cause division.

“Are we already practising Shari’a or not? We are. So why demand it now? It could create a crisis when no one is stopping us from living according to Islamic principles,” he warned.

He urged the Muslim community to focus on unity and true Islamic scholarship rather than political manoeuvring disguised as religious advocacy.

“Not everyone who identifies as a Muslim scholar truly understands Islam. Attending MSSN programmes or being a committed Muslim does not automatically make one an authority in Shari’a,” he noted.
