I was 16. My school organized "special centers." We paid ₦20,000. We got the questions before the exam. I made straight A's. I got into university. Today, I am a doctor. But I never earned those grades. Every success feels borrowed. Every patient I treat, I wonder if I deserve to be here. Exam malpractice is not victimless. It creates impostors. It devalues the system. But when the system is broken and failure means no future, what choice does a 16-year-old have? Did you ever cheat in an exam? Do you still carry the guilt?
