A Nigerian herbs seller has sparked conversation online after offering an alternative path to students who performed poorly in the recent UTME (JAMB) exams.
In a video posted on her TikTok page, the woman encouraged candidates who had dreams of studying medicine or pharmacy but fell short due to low scores to consider enrolling in her herbal medicine course, which is currently open for admission.
Sharing her personal story, she revealed that she too had once struggled with JAMB, scoring just 75. Rather than giving up, she decided to pursue a career in herbal medicine, which she now promotes as a viable and fulfilling alternative.
“Admission is ongoing for those who failed JAMB. If you can’t study medicine, you can study herbs. When I wrote JAMB, I scored 75, and that’s why I decided to go into herbs.”
