Why Is My JAMB Advice Causing Her to Avoid Me?

I have a neighbor in her early 20s who just scored 173 in her JAMB exam. She came to me for advice on what to do next. I know she has no trade skills and her parents can’t afford university fees right now. I suggested she learn a skill this year and retake JAMB next year. She agreed at the time, but ever since she’s been distant and no longer responds to my jokes. I’m wondering if I was wrong to give that advice or if I should have kept my opinion to myself. Did I handle this badly?

Have you noticed if she felt pressured by the idea of starting a new skill or retaking exams?

Did she take your advice as if you're questioning her efforts or ambition?

It seems she might feel pressured by both the exam results and financial barriers, not just the suggestion itself.

Maybe your advice came off as dismissive of her current efforts; she earned that 173 and needs encouragement too.

Try offering to help her research affordable skills courses or scholarship options, showing you back her growth and future goals.
