INTERVIEW: I used AI to summarise notes, joined WhatsApp groups to study, says UTME top scorer
On Monday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) declared @OwoeyeDaniella the highest scorer in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The teenager topped the chart of the ten highest scorers with 372 marks. But from the depth of her preparation, the achievement is undoubtedly well deserved.
In this interview with TheCable’s IMOLEAYO OYEDEYI, the teenager takes a deep dive into the rigorous preparation and demanding journey that led to her UTME success. She says the biggest factor for her was not just parental support, but a mindset shift, because “big schools don’t define success”.
Hi @OwoeyeDaniella, congratulations on your remarkable achievement.
I have some exciting news for you as well. A YC-backed education company in New York, @miyagilabs, has just indicated interest in having you as their brand ambassador.
Please check your DM and send me your number.
UTME CHANGE OF INSTITUTION PROCESS ACTIVATED

Overwhelmed and deeply grateful to be named Nigerian of the Week by the @NOA_Nigeria is beyond anything I imagined when I sat down to write that exam.
This is for every young Nigerian who dares to believe that hard work and God's grace are enough.
To God be all the glory!
I believe both her state of origin and state of residence should properly recognize and support her through scholarships or other forms of national recognition, considering she emerged as the highest scorer in Nigeria out of over 2 million candidates.
Unfortunately, many people are only blogging about the achievement for views and engagement, rather than focusing on genuinely recognizing and encouraging such excellence.
"This is an impersonator who wants to use her story for engagement"
No, Owoeye Daniella, the girl that scored 372 in UTME is on X and this is her real account.
Confirmed by DailyEd himself 💯
Medicine aspirant emerging as the best in Nigeria is not only amazing but it has been happening consistently in the past time , it will amaze you that 2013,2016 and 2017 top scorers were medical aspirants that got admitted into UI, UNIBEN and OAU respectively and a shocking interesting fact , An Art student emerged the best in 2015 and she studied Law.
Congratulations to the champs and leaders of tomorrow once again.

Thank you for recognizing her. She deserves to be celebrated for emerging as the highest scorer out of over two million UTME candidates.
I believe Ekiti State will truly appreciate this achievement and honour her with the recognition and support she deserves.
Brilliance shines brightest when determination meets opportunity.
