UN Nigerians blame a snake for causing $100000 to go missing

Nigerian social media space is buzzing after a local portal reported in Saturday that a government official had blamed a mysterious snake for missing funds of 36 million naira cash (over $100,000).

The funds belong to Nigeria’s Joints Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), a state agency responsible for the registration of admission of people seeking to enter the various universities.

The particular incident took place at the JAMB offices in Makurdi, capital of Benue State where an account’s clerk in answering audit queries said her housemaid and a fellow employee had confessed to using a snake to ‘spiritually’ stealing the monies she kept in an office vault.



Auditors from Abuja had been sent to take inventory of funds accrued over the sale of scratch cards to students hoping to gain access to JAMB’s website to register or check on the status of their admissions. The audit came up after reforms by the current registrar struck out use of the cards.

Nigerians on social media are looking at different sides of the strange issue. There are those looking at the political, the social, the corrupt, the miraculous and even the fun aspect of the incident. A Twitter user @NigerianSnake says in his bio: “I am the snake that ate N36 million from Jamb office. I will not vomit it.”

Below are a series of tweets reacting to the incident.

Prospective students buy scratch tickets in the hopes to gain admission to a school? Am I reading this correct? :story:

Heres The BBC

A Nigerian sales clerk has been suspended after she told auditors that a snake had eaten 36m naira.

That's the equivalent of $100,000 or £72,250.

The clerk, Philomena Chieshe, was working at an office for the Nigerian examination board which collects exam fees.

The exam board, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, told the BBC that it dismissed her claim and has started disciplinary proceedings.

The incident has been ridiculed by Nigerians on social media.


One tweeter suggests it would be an unreasonable amount of bank notes for one snake to handle:

JAMB question - How snake take chop N36 million?

Nigerians dey burst dia head for social media. No be fuel mata. No be Boko Haram and no be di Big Brother Naija Double Wahala show wey some people dey vex say e too dull.
No. Na di gist wey local tori people Daily Post carry come say one JAMB staff say na snake chop N36 million of dia money.

Di Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) na di government bodi wey dey arrange university exams for Nigeria.

Tori be say some candidates wey write di JAMB exam bin buy scratch cards from JAMB offices for different states to check dia result but JAMB registrar, Prof.Ishaq Oloyede, cancel am, come introduce new system.

Na so JAMB send auditors go states to check how much dem make from di scratch card fess, before dem start to give people back dia money.

As dem reach dia office for Makurdi, di sales clerk dia, Philomina Chieshe, say she no know where di scratch card money dey, say her house geh don confess say na snake use 'spiritual way' take swallow di N36 million naira wey dem make from sale of di scratch cards.

Na so social media catch fire.
