A UTME candidate, Sanni Michael Oluwapelumi, has fulfilled his promise by traveling to the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to pray for admission after scoring 144 in the 2026 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.
Michael's Journey to UNILAG
Michael had earlier announced his plan to visit the university physically to pray for admission into Medicine and Surgery. Many doubted him, but he proved them wrong by showing up at the school gate.
In a TikTok video posted on his account @mikkyx__, Michael said: "So I told you guys that I’m going to travel down to UNILAG to pray for my admission for Medicine and Surgery with 144 in JAMB. And some people were telling me that I’m lying, that I can’t travel to UNILAG just because of prayer. Well, here I am. Can you see behind me? That’s the University of Lagos. And I’ve come to pray."
He expressed strong faith in God's intervention, adding: "Somebody saw me now and was like, 'I recognize you from TikTok.' Don’t worry, all of you will recognize me in UNILAG very soon. Before the end of the year, I’m going to get into the school by the special grace of God."
Reactions from Social Media
The video went viral, drawing mixed reactions. Some users encouraged him, while others pointed out the challenges. Comments included:
- April bby said: "With your 144 you can get medicine and surgery in my school any course of Ur choice but is private university."
- .timileyin27 said: "If they reject you... It a sign of greatness!"

Michael's Twin Sister's JAMB Score
In a related story, Michael also shared his twin sister's JAMB result, which was 301/400. She scored 67 in English, 78 in Physics, 67 in Biology, and 89 in Chemistry. He asked the public whether both of them could gain admission to UNILAG.
Michael's determination and faith continue to inspire many as he awaits his admission decision.
