Nigerian man shares simple exam questions from the north

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had shared an exam question paper from the north, saying it is easier to get a first-class there.

The man who claimed the exam is very simple for university students said that lecturers in the south always make life tough for people with advanced questions.

The first question on the paper asked:

"A boy has N500. He spends N200. What fraction of his original money does he have left?"

Many Nigerians came under his post with even easier questions they claimed were from various higher institutions in the north.
