The Story Behind Nigeria's Most Trusted Admissions Guide
ScholarPlayBook was built by a Nigerian student who experienced the confusion, stress, and misinformation of the JAMB and Post-UTME process firsthand and decided to fix it for every student who comes after.
Why I Built ScholarPlayBook
My name is Olaofe Olamide Opeyemi, and I am the founder of ScholarPlayBook. I built this site because I know exactly how overwhelming and confusing the Nigerian university admissions process can be, because I went through it myself.
When I was preparing for JAMB, I spent hours searching for reliable information online, only to find outdated blog posts, conflicting cut-off marks, and guides that were more confusing than helpful. Nobody was giving students clear, honest, and up-to-date answers. That frustration stayed with me.
After successfully navigating the JAMB and Post-UTME process and gaining university admission, I made a decision: I would build the resource I wished had existed when I needed it most.
Every Nigerian student deserves access to accurate admissions information not just those who know the right people or can afford expensive coaching centres.
— Olaofe Olamide Opeyemi, FounderScholarPlayBook is not a news blog or a content farm. It is a carefully curated library of practical guides, tools, and calculators built specifically for Nigerian students preparing for JAMB, Post-UTME, and university admissions.
Every article is written based on first-hand experience with the Nigerian admissions system, verified against official sources, and updated regularly to reflect the latest changes from JAMB and individual universities.
If you have ever felt lost in the admissions process, confused by aggregate score calculations, or unsure which study path is right for you, you are in the right place. ScholarPlayBook exists for you.
