A worship minister, Miracle Ifeanyi Moyong, has excitedly shared the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results of seven kids who prayed fervently during the JAMB examination period.
In a Facebook post, Miracle shared the results as he took a swipe at those who criticised the kids for praying too much.
Balancing JAMB exam, studying and praying
He said they love God and their books and did not allow either to suffer neglect. The minister maintained that praying should not hinder one from studying and vice versa.
Miracle added that one shouldn't be lazy and blame academic failure on prayer.
He released the following UTME results: Sister Mercy O. 292, Brother Shalom 268, Brother H. 204, Sister Favour 217, Paul 204, Joshua O. 250, and Prosper 244.
Minister Miracle's Facebook post read in part:
"...We pray does not mean we don’t read!!!
"We are excellent people !!! We love God we love our books!!!
"Prayer does not stop us from reading.
"Neither should reading stop us from praying.
"Guess what at the season of jamb we were having daily prayers and they were still reading… Don’t be lazy and blame it on prayer !!!"
JAMB said that 4.2% of candidates scored 250 and above in the 2024 UTME.
