Elochukwu Prosper, a Nigerian student who sat the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, set social media buzzing after sharing his WAEC results and asking whether they were good enough to pursue a career in law.
He uploaded a screenshot of his results on Facebook in August 2026, alongside the caption: “Can I study law with this?” The post attracted immediate attention as students across Nigeria were sharing their own WAEC outcomes following the recent release of results.

Law aspirant’s 2026 WAEC result breakdown
The screenshot, posted to the a Facebook group, showed a mixed bag of grades. Elochukwu recorded an A1 in Marketing and an Outstanding grade in Christian Religious Studies, while Economics and Government both came in at B2. Civic Education landed at B3 and Literature in English at C5.
However, the grades that drew the most attention were in the core subjects. He scored D7 in both English Language and General Mathematics, and F9 in Igbo. A crying emoji placed over the screenshot left little doubt about how he felt.
The challenge for aspiring law students is that most Nigerian universities require at least a credit pass in English Language and Mathematics at the WAEC level, making those D7 scores a significant hurdle. His F9 in Igbo, while painful, is generally considered less critical for law school admission requirements.
