MSport Fulfils a Fan’s Dream: Digital Meet with Serhou Guirassy

From thousands of entries across Africa, one name stood out—“Cobo.” A football blogger and lifelong BVB supporter, Cobo was selected through the #MSportSeekMShola campaign to host a one-on-one digital interview with Borussia Dortmund star Serhou Guirassy.

More than just autographs or football tips, the moment reflected the “Be Like MShola” ethos: unwavering belief and a shared love for the game. Guirassy spoke passionately about what makes Dortmund special—not just the football, but the way the entire city lives for the club. In his words, it’s “Dortmund before the city”—a deep-rooted bond that echoes the spirit of MShola.

Serhou Guirassy: From Dreamer to Dortmund Star

Guirassy’s move to Borussia Dortmund fulfilled a childhood dream inspired by legendary Champions League clashes against Bayern Munich. Although he arrived recovering from injury, stepping into the black-and-yellow kit was a personal triumph.

Signal Iduna Park isn’t just a stadium—it’s a monument. The Yellow Wall’s roar echoes like thunder, he said.

If he could relive one match, it would be Dortmund’s unforgettable win over Barcelona—a night when team spirit and crowd energy became one.

#FeaturedPost

More than 1.5 million candidates scored below 200, and tens of thousands complained of missing or incorrect scores under #thisisnotmyresult.

The upheaval exposed critical gaps in the test prep sector from paper-only mock exams to opaque guarantee schemes while highlighting the value of digital tools, transparent policies and community-driven learning.

The following lessons underscore where traditional providers fell short and how innovators stepped in to fill the void.

1. Paper-only mock exams collapse under digital pressure

Most long-standing coaching centres relied entirely on in class pencil and paper practice tests.

When JAMB’s online portal became the sole means of result verification and it crashed or withheld scores, those students had no virtual alternatives to continue structured revision or check provisional marks.

2. Real-time communication proved vital

Only a handful of prep platforms had apps or cloud-based services capable of sending instant SMS or push notification updates. Candidates without reliable digital alerts remained uninformed about result releases, portal maintenance or re-uploads.

Providers with automated messaging maintained candidate trust by eliminating uncertainty.

3. Score and admission guarantees unraveled

High fee packages promising fixed UTME scores or assured university placement were rendered meaningless when JAMB withheld or amended thousands of results.

Students who paid for these guarantees discovered refund clauses hidden in dense terms and had little recourse, prompting calls for enforceable student-friendly refund policies.

4. Peer-to-peer networks filled the gap

In response to official breakdowns, WhatsApp and Telegram communities sprang up overnight. Candidates shared screenshot proofs of scores, compiled evolving cut-off marks and coordinated appeal applications.

These volunteer-led groups offered free crowd-sourced guidance and simple tracking tools, demonstrating demand for collaborative, low cost support models.

5. Data-driven platforms maintained momentum

A small cadre of edu-tech startups used analytics to personalize revision by tracking each user’s practice performance, spotlighting weak topics and adjusting question sets in real time.

When official result announcements stalled, these platforms dynamically updated practice modules and provided predictive score ranges, helping students stay engaged and focused.

6. Transparent pricing and refund mechanisms won loyalty

Consumer advocates and regulators pushed for clear service contracts that specify automatic partial refunds whenever JAMB misses its deadlines.

Coaching centres that adopted upfront fee breakdowns publicized their refund triggers and honored cancellations saw enrolment rise as candidates opted for providers they could trust.

7. Holistic exam readiness proved decisive

The most resilient programs went beyond content drills. They integrated portal navigation tutorials, stress management workshops and mock appeal processes into their curricula.

Candidates trained in both exam content and administrative procedures made fewer verification errors and navigated delays with confidence.

The 2025 JAMB result crisis underscored a sector at a crossroads.

Coaching centres that cling to outdated, paper-only methods risk obsolescence, while those embracing digital tools, transparent practices and community-driven models stand to lead Nigeria’s test-prep industry into a more reliable and student-focused future.

EXPLORE: Is a university degree still worth it in Nigeria? The harsh truth

I never believed pastors could be predators. Not until I met Pastor Kingsley. My name is Ada, and this is the story of how a man of God tried to use my faith against me.

It started in 2023. I was going through the worst phase of my life. No job, constant nightmares, and a string of failed relationships. One day, auntie told me,

“Ada, you need deliverance. There’s a powerful pastor in Lekki who can help you.”

Desperate for a breakthrough, I went to his church. The first service was intense. Everything Pastor Kinglsey preached felt like he knew my life story. During the altar call, he looked straight at me and said,

“Sister! I see a spirit of stagnation attacking your life!”

I was shook. How did he know?

After the service, an usher approached me and said Pastor Kingsley wanted to see me, that God had a special message for me. I waited and was eventually led to his office.

I knocked. He opened the door and let me in, then, strangely, he locked the door behind us.

“This deliverance is sensitive,” he said. “We must not be disturbed.”

Then things got weird.

First, he asked me to remove my earrings, saying they carried “evil energy.” Then he told me to take off my underwear so he could “check for witchcraft marks.” I was confused but too afraid and vulnerable to question him. So I did as he asked.

He began reciting Psalms while rubbing oil across my body, what he called an “anointing.” When his hands started moving suspiciously, I froze.

“Pastor… why are you touching me there?” I asked, shaking.

He smiled and said, “This is where the demon is hiding. You want to be free, abi?”

After the “prayers,” Pastor Kingsley dropped the bomb:

“Sister Ada, to complete this deliverance, we must join as husband and wife.”

I almost choked. “What do you mean?”

“Sex is the final sacrifice to break this curse,” he said calmly. “Many women have done it and gotten miracles.”

My blood ran cold.

I pretended to agree but said I needed to use the restroom first. The moment I stepped out, I ran. But it didn’t end there.

For weeks, Pastor Kingsley kept calling. I never picked up. He would send disturbing messages like:

“The demon you saw in your dream will kill you if you don’t complete the deliverance!”

“I saw your future, you’ll never marry if you disobey God!”

I blocked his number and changed mine.

A year later, I saw Pastor Kingsley on the news. Several women had come forward accusing him of sexual abuse and rape.

When I watched those videos, I wept. My heart broke for all the women who were violated, who spoke up, and those still too ashamed to.

My faith has never never been the same. But I’ve learned that not every man on the pulpit speaks for God.
