Nigerians React with Anger as Students Brutally Fail WAEC 2025
WAEC is currently facing intense backlash after releasing the results of the 2025 May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The results have caused conversations, with students, parents, teachers, and education experts expressing concern over the poor performance.
Only 38% of candidates passed with five credits, including English Language and Mathematics, subjects necessary for gaining admission into higher institutions. This marks a steep drop from the 72.12% success rate recorded in 2024, making it one of the lowest performances in recent years.
On X, education advocate Dr. Richard Ayo-Dairo (@RArakunrin) suggested the midnight timing of the English exam may have contributed to the poor performance. “No one is talking about the WAEC 2025 Midnight English Language examination, which clearly played a role in the mass failure,” he wrote. “Someone needs to be held accountable. This is about the future of our children.”
Another user, Femi Organ (@FemiOrgan), blamed an issue. “How many students today can even speak proper English, let alone write it? And those who speak well can’t explain or use it meaningfully. Shortcuts and slang have taken over,” he said. “WAEC is just the mirror. The real problem is around us.”
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
