One can easily identify individuals who failed logic in their school days by observing their bewildering tendency to interject unrelated topics into conversations. For instance, when engaging in a discourse regarding the advantageous aspects of renewable energy sources, should these individuals abruptly divert the discussion towards the realms of art history, one cannot help but wonder about the perplexing connection they perceive between the two dissimilar subjects.
Truly, the incongruity between space exploration and the craft of chocolate making is equally confounding. What conceivable correlation could exist between venturing into the great unknown of outer space and the delicate artistry involved in the creation of delectable chocolate confections?
Now, let us delve into the matter at hand concerning the claims made by the embattled Mmesoma – smart teen who outdid hers. Her assertions crumble when subjected to even the most elementary scrutiny. The QR code she proudly displayed corresponds to a person registered in the JAMB database in the year 2021, bearing a distinct score and a completely different name. While it is true that the age, registration details, and examination center numbers on her original result were accurate, the document she flaunted in a viral video, showcasing a higher score, displayed erroneous age and registration numbers, along with various other inconsistencies.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) confirms that Mmesoma had obtained her printed results twice, both times acknowledging a score of 249. Strangely, she chose not to disclose this particular result while producing her videos flaunting the falsified higher score.
Among the esteemed professors on the investigation panel set up by the Anambra State government, there exists a seasoned IT expert who effortlessly discerns the falsehood in her claims, rendering any further investigation redundant.
Not surprising,the young lady herself has admitted to fabricating the aforementioned result, and her subsequent apology would serve as a mere acknowledgement of her misdeed.
It is worth noting that the act of forging academic results is not exclusive to any particular age group. Regrettably, there have been instances of individuals engaging in such deceitful practices since their early years, some even during their primary school days.
Additionally, the presence of numerous underage individuals involved in fraudulent online activities further negates the notion that criminal tendencies are gender-specific. Yahoo-yahoo boys of 13/14 are capable of unthinkable cybercrimes what more a 19 year old?
Those who lack a logical mindset often resort to desperate tactics, futilely attempting to divert attention and engaging in petty personal attacks. They engage in superfluous tangents, peddling trite and baseless arguments, all the while avoiding the core issue at hand.
It is disheartening to witness individuals who unquestioningly support any cause merely due to its perceived alignment with their tribal, ethnic, or religious affiliations.
Regardless of the righteousness or fallacy of the matter, retracting their words becomes an arduous endeavour for them. Hence, they persist in raising empty and irrelevant detritus in an attempt to validate their stance.
I find myself utterly appalled by the fact that despite the abundance of irrefutable evidence, there are still individuals who stubbornly engage in blind arguments, disregarding the truth that has been laid bare before them. Phew!
