Omo! Carryover choke! A viral video has sparked massive reactions online after a young lady filmed what she claimed were over 200 accounting students retaking a mathematics course in a Nigerian tertiary institution.
In the short clip, the stunned lady panned her camera across a crowded classroom, joking in Pidgin:
“Omo, see carryover students in mathematics. Them plenty ooh, accounting students, carryover choke.”
She even teased her friend—an accounting student herself—asking if she was part of the carryover gang. The two burst into laughter, but the scene left viewers divided between humor and worry.
Reactions From Nigerians
The footage quickly blew up, and Nigerians didn’t hold back:
- Araboriota: “Over 200 carryovers in one department? 😳 That’s not a joke o. Something is definitely wrong — either with the teaching method, the exam, or the system itself.”
- Mercy: “That’s not just a student problem, that’s a system failure.”

The Bigger Question
While some users found the video hilarious, others raised genuine concerns: Could this massive carryover be linked to poor teaching methods, outdated syllabuses, or tough grading systems? Or is it simply proof that mathematics remains the ultimate stumbling block for many students, even those studying accounting?
😂 One thing is clear: whether it’s teaching flaws or just “maths wahala,” the sight of 200+ students carrying the same course is no small matter. As one commenter put it:
“If na real life problem dem dey solve, Nigeria for don get 200 solutions already.”
