"What Happened to Me is Now Happening to My Daughter": Mmesoma Ejikeme's Father Speaks in Emotional

Romanus Ejikeme, the father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, said what happened to him in 1996 when he won a music competition in Oyo state is now happening to his daughter 27 years later. In an interview with Channels Television, Romanus warned that Nigeria should not be a talent killer.
He said he bought a complete set of musical equipment for himself but could not continue after several attacks.
He accused the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of working against Mmesoma to pull her down after her remarkable achievement in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Reacting to the falsification of the UTME result, Romanus said Mmesoma scored 362, and she got the result from the JAMB portal. "She has been trending for over 2 months now and JAMB did not challenge her, It’s after 2 months and a week that they came up with another result."
"So, they are working against my daughter to pull her down with this new result that they came with now."
"Nigeria and the whole world should know the truth. JAMB worked against my daughter and at the same time accusing her."
An earlier report says that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has gone public with the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result slip of Ejikeme Mmesoma following the controversy surrounding her score. JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, had on Sunday, July 2, accused Ejikeme of manually manipulating her UTME result to attract an N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors. “JAMB deliberately delayed”: Mmesoma’s father says the new score is not his daughter's UTME result, gives update Romanus, the father of Mmesoma Ejikeme, has accused the Joint Administration and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of awarding a wrong score to his daughter. Ejikeme, who denied plans to seek redress in court, said the 249 that JAMB claimed his daughter scored is not Mmesoma’s result.
