Top Science Student Stuns Social Media With Excellent WAEC Results but Cries Out Over Poor English Grade

Lagos, Nigeria — The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, sparking a wave of emotions across Nigeria as students share their scores online. Among the voices drawing attention is Uchenna, a science student whose academic performance has gone viral for an unexpected reason.

After logging in to check his result, Uchenna proudly posted his grades on social media, revealing stellar marks across most subjects — including A1 in Marketing and Chemistry, B2 in Civic Education, Biology, Physics, and Computer Studies, and B3 in Mathematics. However, his celebration was overshadowed by a D7 in English Language, prompting a heartfelt outcry that resonated with thousands online.

“After passing all subjects with As and Bs, I got D7 in English. How?” he lamented in his post, sparking widespread reactions and conversations about the grading system. Many fellow candidates reported similar struggles, with English emerging as the weakest subject for otherwise high-achieving students.

WAEC, in its official announcement, cautioned candidates against believing unverified rumours about cancelled results. The examination body reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, urging students to rely solely on updates from its verified channels.

This incident has reignited debates on the role of English proficiency in determining overall academic success, particularly for science-oriented students. Uchenna’s case has become symbolic of a broader trend — students excelling in technical subjects but facing challenges in language assessments.
