The West African Examination Council, WAEC, has released its May/June 2017 secondary school certificate examination results.

..and pictured below might just be the worst WAEC Result of 2017 ever!

Out of the 1,559,162 candidates that sat for for the 2017 WAEC this result may be the worst so far.

According to reports, 923,486 candidates secured at least five credits which include English Language and Mathematics.

Let’s calculate that, that’s a tremendous increase of 59.23%, when rounded off and compared to the last year’s 52.9% and the previous year of 38.7% who passed.

I think it’s safe to say that over time there will be an even greater percentage increase in the number of students who will pass.

As this result came to our attention we come to think of the reason a student who has been studying hard for this phenomenal examination will still manage to gain such a deteriorating result.

Amadi Promzy Chimenem has announced the death of the woman who apparently is the oldest woman in Rivers State.

He made the announcement on Facebook, and wrote;

Hostel F was thrown into turmoil after a robbery incident which took place inside the hostel at about 1AM today involving room 6 and room 24.

According to some of the students, a group of guys reported entered the hostel through the Toilet by removing the window and burglary of one of the toilets.

They went straight to room 6, covering their faces with wrapper. Collected their phones. Laptops, their ATM cards and pins before marching them to the kitchen where one of the room mates was stabbed and seriously injured.

One of the girls took the risk of running to the common room but found no security personnel there. The hostel mates were alerted around 4AM after room 24 had been robbed.

The girl who raised the alarm chose to remain anonymous but said she was able to do so because the guy who robbed them told them to go outside the room and this gave her the opportunity to lock the door and make calls outside the hostel while shouting to draw attention.

The guy escaped through the same toilet and the girls started receiving debit alert from their various bank accounts.

It was gathered that the school security who came later said they noticed some doors are faulty and this must have been the reason why they were able to gain access to the rooms.

The deputy Vice Chancellor academics, Prof Udo Nwokocha was present at the scene as a representative of the Vice Chancellor he said the management has decided to refund the stolen items to the affected girls and thorough investigation would Commence immediately and adequate measures would be taken on the security personnels assigned to that particular hostel if it is found out that there was negligence of duty.

Also present at the scene were the dean of student affairs, the chief security officers of the school and the Vice Chancellors personal security who all promised to do thorough investigation into the case.

It was gathered that the septuagenarian was caught in the act by one of her grandchildren, who had gone to give her food in her late husband’s house.

Vanguard reports that the granddaughter reportedly went straight to her grandmother’s room with the food items only to meet her on the bed stack naked making love with a young man in his early 30’s.

The grand-daughter reportedly raised the alarm seeing what is described as an abominable act in the community; a source added that she immediately reported the matter to the elders, who in turn alerted youths of the village.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has reiterated the government’s decision that any programme meant for Nigerians must be produced in Nigeria, saying he was not appointed Minister to develop the economy of other countries at the expense of the Nigerian economy. He said this in a statement released today.

In a statement he released today, Lai Mohammed said the Creative Industry’s potential of creating 1 million jobs in three years cannot be realized if jobs meant for Nigerians are being exported to other countries under the guise of producing, in other countries, programmes to be consumed in Nigeria.

“I didn’t say that henceforth, all music videos and films will be produced in Nigeria, or that the production of music videos or films outside Nigeria will be banned. All I said was that if a programme is designated as a Nigerian (local) content programme, we will amend the Code to ensure that it is produced in Nigeria. On that, there is no going back.” he said

The Minister recalled how his office was bombarded with calls from concerned Nigerians when the last edition of the “Big Brother Naija” was produced in South Africa, saying he subsequently directed the National Broadcasting Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the controversy.

“Following the findings, we decided to amend the relevant sections of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code to prevent a repeat of that development. We are now in the process of doing that, so that anyone who intends to produce a reality show or similar programmes for Nigerians cannot take the production of such shows outside Nigeria.

Nigerians are a very proud and resourceful people, and we are sure that no Nigerian will be against a decision to prevent the jobs that can be done in Nigeria by Nigerians from being exported to other countries,” he said.

In a related development, Alhaji Mohammed has said the Broadcasting Code is also being amended to help develop the local football league.

“This (amendment) is not just about the Creative Industry. We are also going to ensure that the NBC Code is amended in a manner that if any company in Nigeria today invests a million dollars in promoting or supporting any (football) team or league outside Nigeria, I want the Broadcasting Code to be amended to the effect that it will not allow that programme to be aired unless that company supports the Nigerian League with a percentage that will not be less than 30 per cent of what was spent.

“This is because we cannot continue to develop the economies of the other parts of the world from the sweat of Nigerians and at the expense of the Nigerian economy,” the Minister said.
