Michael Oluwapelumi, a candidate for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), made headlines after he traveled to the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to pray for admission into Medicine and Surgery, despite scoring 144 in the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam. In a TikTok video, he expressed his determination and faith, stating, "I’ve come to pray" outside the university's gate. His journey has sparked a variety of reactions on social media, with some users offering encouragement while others expressed doubt about his chances of admission. Interestingly, Michael's twin sister achieved an impressive aggregate score of 301/400 in the same examination, raising questions about their respective admission prospects. As Michael continues to share his journey online, he remains hopeful that he will be recognized at UNILAG by the end of the year.
