A Nigerian lady has gone viral on TikTok after posting a detailed advisory video for 2026 WAEC candidates who received disappointing grades in core subjects, particularly English language and mathematics.
In the video, she spoke directly to students who opened their results to find E, or F grades in either of the two compulsory subjects, delivering a clear message: those results cannot be used to secure admission into any higher institution in Nigeria.

What Candidates With Low Grades Should Do
Azeezat explained that every Nigerian university and polytechnic requires a minimum of C5 in both English and mathematics before a candidate can be considered for admission.
Anyone who fell below that threshold, she said, would need to retake the examination.
For candidates who scored below C5 in other subject areas required for their intended course, she noted that a supporting result from an alternative examination body could serve as a backup.
She listed NECO, NECO GCE, and NABTEB as acceptable options, though she cautioned that not all institutions recognise NABTEB results, so candidates would need to confirm with their preferred school.
She also flagged an important restriction for students hoping to combine results from two different sittings.
Certain competitive courses, including Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Law, and Pharmacy, do not accept two-sitting results at all.
Beyond individual courses, she pointed out that some universities, such as the University of Lagos, have a blanket policy against two sittings, making it essential for applicants to verify their target school's requirements before proceeding.
