Episode 6: JAMB Results Are Out!

It had been three days since Amara wrote her JAMB exam, and the anxiety was unbearable. Every student at Brightfield High School was talking about one thing—when will the results be out?

Amara refreshed her phone screen every few minutes, hoping for an update from JAMB.

Then, at exactly 8:00 AM, a message popped up in the class group chat:

📢 JAMB Results are Out! Check Yours Now!

Amara’s heart raced as she quickly opened the JAMB result-checking portal.

She entered her JAMB Registration Number and clicked "Check Result."

The screen loaded for a few seconds, and then…

Her JAMB score appeared!

They jumped and hugged each other. Their dream universities were now within reach!

Celebration and Reactions

At school, students were discussing their scores. Some were celebrating, while others looked disappointed.

Their class teacher, Mr. Benson, clapped his hands. "I'm proud of all of you! If you didn’t get your desired score, don’t lose hope. You can always try again or consider other options."

Amara felt grateful. Her hard work had paid off, but she knew this was just the beginning. The next step was university admission!

Episode 7: Amara Takes a Bold Step

Despite her excellent JAMB score, Amara couldn’t shake off the feeling that university might not be the right path for her. After days of reflection and discussing with her parents, she made a bold decision—she was going to start her business immediately.

Her dream of becoming a businesswoman was stronger than ever, and she believed she didn’t need a degree to make it happen.

Starting the Business

Amara convinced her parents to support her decision, and with their blessing, she used ₦200,000 from her savings and family contributions to start her business.

"What will you sell?" Deborah asked curiously.

"Provisions!" Amara replied. "Every household needs them, and I can start small."

She made a list of items to buy:

Sachet milk

Milo sachets

Chi-Chi fruit drinks

Sugar

Biscuits

Noodles

Soap and toiletries

Amara went to the local market to purchase her stock. She spent:

₦60,000 on provisions

₦10,000 on shelves and storage

₦30,000 to rent a small shop in her neighborhood

She had ₦100,000 left for emergencies and reinvestment.

Setting Up the Shop

Amara named her shop "Bright Provisions Hub"—a name inspired by her school, Brightfield High School.

With the help of her younger brother, she arranged the items neatly:

Shelves by the wall:

Top shelf: Sachet milk, Milo sachets, sugar packs

Middle shelf: Chi-Chi drinks, biscuits, and noodles

Bottom shelf: Soap, detergents, and toiletries

Counters near the entrance:

She displayed small items like sweets, chewing gum, and lighters.

A chalkboard sign outside:

"Welcome to Bright Provisions Hub – Your One-Stop Shop for Daily Needs!"

Storage at the back:

Extra cartons of noodles, drinks, and biscuits were neatly stacked.

After cleaning and organizing, the shop looked colorful and inviting.

Waiting for Customers

Amara sat behind the counter, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. She placed her small cash register on the table and arranged a few plastic chairs for customers.

Her first few hours were quiet, but by noon, a woman walked in.

"Good afternoon, my dear. Do you sell sugar?"

Amara smiled. "Yes, ma! How many would you like?"

The woman bought two packs of sugar and a sachet of milk. Amara carefully placed the items in a bag and handed them over.

"Thank you for coming to Bright Provisions Hub!"

The woman smiled back. "I’ll come again."

Amara’s confidence grew with every sale. By the end of the day, she had made a small profit, and she felt proud of her decision to follow her passion.

Building the Future

Amara locked the shop that evening, feeling hopeful. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she was ready to put in the work to grow her business.
