A Nigerian student who goes by the name Pluto Mania on Facebook stirred conversation online after sharing his West African Examinations Council result and asking whether the grades were sufficient to pursue a degree in Cybersecurity.
The post, uploaded in August 2026 shortly after WAEC released its results, showed a result card covering nine subjects with performances ranging from A1 to C5.

Personal details on the card were deliberately hidden behind red heart emoji stickers, but the grades themselves were visible in full.
Science student’s 2WAEC result breakdown
Across the nine subjects on his result card, Pluto Mania recorded A1 in both Marketing and Civic Education, while Chemistry, Economics, and Digital Technologies each earned a B3. English Language, Biology, and Physics came in at C5, and General Mathematics landed at C4.
For a student hoping to study Cybersecurity, the results carry some weight given that the course typically requires strong performance in Mathematics, Physics, and English Language at the ordinary level.
The student’s C4 in Mathematics and C5 in Physics and English are passes under WAEC’s grading system, though whether they meet specific university cut-off requirements depends on the institution.
