2026 WAEC: Student cries out over results
In the caption accompanying his post, @ogambo22 directed his anguish at the examination body itself, writing:
"WAEC, who do I offend?? 😭😭😭😭. Last year was English, then this year Mathematics. Why?"
The message captured the exhaustion of a student who had already experienced one painful setback and returned to try again, only to hit another wall in a different core subject. For many Nigerian students, failing either English or Mathematics in WAEC is particularly devastating, as both subjects are compulsory requirements for gaining admission into tertiary institutions through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board process.
