JAMB 2019: Meet Ekene Franklin, who scored 347.

Meet 15-Year Old Ekene Franklin, 2019 Best Jamb Candidate. 



He said,

"I targeted 370 marks.

I went to school in Lagos from Primary to secondary.

I was always representing Lagos in tough competitions and in JAMB I met most of the questions that I encountered in the competitions. The Deputy GOVERNOR (of Lagos) knows me and she calls me "my son".

I love Chemistry and mum is a Chemistry graduate. She is always using the laws to sing. Everything about her is Chemistry.

I will read Chemical Engineering. My mum and I have chosen my research topic. It will be on Bio Fuel. I have started preliminary research on it.

A private University has offered me a scholarship but my mum said I will not go if it is not a full scholarship. My dad was ‘wicked’ by NITEL so we have no money. He was not paid his pension for so long. He went into business which failed. Buhari paid him the money which he used for the business.

I was given double promotion in Primary school so I finished Secondary School at 15.

I thought I was from Lagos but my dad said we are from the East,  that I will soon know the place.

My detailed JAMB score:

English 78, Maths 91, Physics 86, Chemistry 92 
Total 347"
