Jamming Jamb - What do you hate about Jamb?

Jamb has affected the lives of many people in Nigeria. It is one of the main exams necessary for gaining admission into any tertiary institution like the university or Polytechnic. One has to do the UME so as to secure an admission to higher institution in Nigeria.
Jamb, due to its popularity among students and former students, has affected our lives. A lot of people's future has been changed or influenced due to JAMB and it's cut off mark.
I for one, i don't like JAMB just because of its increasing irrelevancy. It is becoming more and more unnecessary to do JAMB due to the many other many entry exams students are made to go through just to secure that entry even after doing JAMB. Things like Post UME Exams, Diploma admissions and others.
Another reason i hate Jamb is because of its short life span. Why should it have a life span of 1 year after which you have to do another Jamb. There are a lot of people who after passing the Jamb exam still have to wait for Waec exams and if these did not come out in time, the Jamb could expire. Jamb should be like SAT at least having a longer expiry period like 3 years. Jamb sucks for me and what i mean by this is that it keeps on milking billions of naira from the pockets of Nigerians who are mostly living below poverty level.
