Please can anyone give me suggestions how I can obtain my WAEC certificate? I have long left the state where I sat for WAEC. I have gone online to get the digital certificate but the system is frustrating, and I need the certificate urgently. I sat for WAEC in 2002. Thank you.


Pls moderators, help me. I need suggestions.

I just got mine last week after graduating, over 15 years ago, was in the same situation with you, i left the state i wrote a long time ago, but then i was scrolling through FB and saw a post from someone i used to know a long time ago about getting WAEC certs, i said let me try to see if he can get something i have not set my eyes on in over a decade. I couldn't remember anything about my Exam number, sit or whatever, I just remember the school, my name, and the year I wrote it, and to my shock, after providing those details and my NIN, the guy retrieved my certificate. Tho i spent 20k cos I could not remember anything about the exam.

Here is his number if you want 07031133069

You can contact him and try your luck.

Congratulation Hilda!

The Guinness world record book has now been bastardized, it used to be coveted and revered, but now, they have records for all manner of rubbish.

Patiently waiting for Chef Dami to do largest pot of Ewa Agoyin.

Hello house, my younger bro is trying to apply for admission with NOUN; however, he has a D7 in maths, all other subjects are B's and C's. What are the chances of getting admitted? He is reluctant to write WAEC again as the guy don advance for age, e say him head no fit carry secondary school books again

I know the requirements are at least a C in maths and English; however, he wants to study broadcast/film abi na how him tell me sef, which I am not sure if maths will be a big deal. He said he will proceed to apply with the results that way, hoping he gets admitted. Please, what are his chances? Or must he sit for another WAEC?

cc @Enskynelson and anyone who has an idea.

Morning Bro,
A Dealer told me they have a new Decoder SB301 that offers high quality videos on Sport channels with large screens.
Is thet true?

They released new decoders, but the decoders in itself does not improve picture quality. SLTV itself has improved its picture quality a lot since that post a year ago, so whatever decoder you get, there won't be any difference. In fact, the older decoders can get FTA, but these new ones can't, however, the new ones can scan automatically for new channels, while the old one requires you to manually scan for them. That's the only plus. The dealer is only trying to take more money from you.

That’s what happens when you have a good leader

They still will not applaud the fast mobilization of teams to restore the grid.

Let’s always try to appreciate when due. It cannot be faster than this.

God bless His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Omo una no get shame at all.

Lord have mercy! This country no fit move forward.

Hehehehehe:
Boss are they still functioning?

Yes, in fact, that's what I am using to watch Benin vs Lesotho as I type.

Since his inauguration on May 29, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has spent approximately 210 days, over 45% of his 463 days in office, outside Nigeria. This includes a 10-day annual leave in Europe, starting September 4, 2025. Of these days abroad, an estimated 71 to 73 were dedicated to private trips or vacations, primarily in the UK and France, often described as “working leave” or personal visits, with the latest being the current European leave. While the presidency defends these travels as essential for diplomacy and attracting foreign investment, critics argue that Tinubu’s frequent absences, especially for vacations, reflect a troubling disconnect from Nigeria’s deepening economic and social crises. With inflation soaring past 34%, widespread poverty, and rising insecurity, the question looms: why is Nigeria’s leader so often abroad when the nation needs him most?

Tinubu’s international itinerary is staggering. In 2023, he made 14 to 15 trips, spending approximately 71 days abroad, including summits in France, India, and Saudi Arabia, but also private visits to the UK (approximately 7 days) and France (approximately 3 days). In 2024, the pace intensified with approximately 10 to 12 trips, totaling approximately 85 days, including a 14-day private visit to France in January and extended “working leave” in the UK after official engagements in Saudi Arabia and China (approximately 23 days combined). By August 2025, Tinubu had spent approximately 54 days abroad in 2025, including a 7-day state visit to Saint Lucia (June 28 to July 5, reported as a state visit but with private elements), 5 to 7 days for private extensions in Japan and the UAE, and now the 10-day European leave starting today, September 4, 2025. Cumulatively, these 210 days abroad account for nearly half his presidency, with private trips alone (approximately 78 to 80 days) comprising over 37% of his time overseas and 17% of his total time in office.

Nigeria’s state is dire. Inflation has climbed to 34% or more, driven by the removal of fuel subsidies, a policy Tinubu championed, leaving millions struggling with skyrocketing costs for food, transport, and essentials. Over 133 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, while insecurity persists with banditry, kidnappings, and Boko Haram attacks claiming lives daily. The naira’s value has plummeted, and unemployment hovers around 33%. Yet, Tinubu’s frequent absences, particularly for private vacations, including the 7-day Saint Lucia trip with private elements and the current 10-day European leave, have sparked accusations of insensitivity.

Critics, including opposition figure Peter Obi, argue that Tinubu’s trips, especially private ones to London, Paris, Saint Lucia, and now Europe, send a message of detachment. “When your house is on fire, you don’t go on holiday,” Obi remarked in a 2024 statement, echoing sentiments on X, where users have labeled Tinubu “the tourist president.” The optics are particularly stark with his latest European vacation, announced today, and the Saint Lucia visit, which combined official engagements with reported personal time in a drug-transit hub. These absences contrast sharply with his administration’s calls for citizens to endure economic “sacrifices.” The Brazil, Colombia, and Saint Lucia deals, while promising FDI, amplify concerns: As South American and Caribbean drug routes target Africa, direct flights and lax oversight could boost smuggling risks, potentially linking back to Tinubu’s unresolved Chicago drug ties, where he forfeited funds tied to a heroin network.


The presidency defends Tinubu’s travels as critical for Nigeria’s global standing and economic recovery. Official trips have yielded Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) worth billions, such as a $600 million digital economy deal with France, energy partnerships with Qatar, and agricultural agreements with Brazil and Colombia in 2025. The Saint Lucia visit secured tourism and trade commitments, positioning Nigeria as a partner in Caribbean markets. The administration’s “4D” foreign policy (Democracy, Development, Diaspora, Demography) frames these engagements as vital for attracting FDI and addressing domestic issues like energy and security. A presidency spokesperson, in a 2024 Naija News interview, insisted that Tinubu’s trips are “not vacations but strategic missions,” even for private-labeled visits, which are often described as “working leave” for strategic planning. The Saint Lucia trip was framed as a state visit, and the current 10-day European leave, though explicitly a vacation, is justified as a needed break for a leader under pressure.

The financial burden of Tinubu’s travels is another sore point. The N6.9 billion budgeted for 2024 foreign trips, covering the president and his entourage, has exceeded projections by 36% in some periods, per GovSpend data, fueling public outrage over costs amid economic hardship. In April 2024, Tinubu imposed a three-month ban on officials’ foreign trips to curb costs, yet his own travels continued unabated, including a private trip to the UK and the Saint Lucia visit. The ongoing 10-day European leave, starting September 4, 2025, adds to the tally, with no public disclosure on whether it is personally or publicly funded. The lack of transparency around private trip funding, whether for this vacation, Saint Lucia, or earlier ones, further fuels distrust.

Moreover, Tinubu’s absence during critical moments, such as floods or protests over economic hardship, has amplified perceptions of a leader out of touch. X posts from 2024 to 2025 frequently highlight the irony of Tinubu vacationing abroad, in places like Saint Lucia and now Europe, while Nigerians face extreme hunger. “We’re suffering here, and he’s chilling in drug hubs,” one user tweeted in August 2025, a sentiment likely to intensify with his current leave and the Saint Lucia trip’s drug-related connotations.

As Nigeria battles economic collapse and insecurity, the president’s priorities are under scrutiny. While diplomacy is essential, the optics of frequent vacations abroad, often shrouded in vague terms like “working leave” or, as now, an explicit 10-day annual leave in Europe, undermine public trust. The choice of destinations like Saint Lucia, a drug transshipment point, alongside Brazil and Colombia, amplifies concerns given Tinubu’s past. His administration must balance international ambitions with domestic urgency, ensuring that time spent abroad translates into measurable relief for Nigerians without risking illicit entanglements. Until then, the image of a president jetting off, particularly for vacations in drug-linked locales, while the nation burns will remain a potent symbol of disconnect.

NLfpmod - Tinubu’s Globe-Trotting Presidency: Frequent Trips and Drug-Linked Destinations Amid Nigeria’s Crisis

My vehicle’s ABS and Check Engine lights illuminated simultaneously after a scan revealed a faulty upstream O2 sensor. I replaced the sensor but didn’t rescan before driving due to time constraints. While driving, the Check Engine light reappeared. I parked, scanned again, and found the upstream O2 sensor was still malfunctioning. Since the battery was disconnected during the repair, the ECU reset, likely triggering the code after a drive cycle.

I’m sure the new O2 sensor is functional, so I suspect an issue with the wiring harness or a related component. I plan to revisit the mechanic when I have time. In the meantime, I’ve noticed a significant increase in fuel consumption.

blackgold2018:
is still fall on Lekki geometry. Go to Sangotedo ShopRite it’s still boldly written Lekki. And other ventures at ibeju lekki

Sangotedo can claim Lekki cos it's still part of Eti Osa, but Onosa is quite a distance away, and totally in another LCDA.

This did not happen in Lekki, it happened in Onosa, Ibeju Lekki, and 3 Okada men were killed, not 1.

100% sure OP has never even been to Lagos before.

Well done to New globe, however, I partnered with this organization last year and till date, dem never pay me my money.

Nlfpmod why did you close my topic?

The 2 topics are different, one is African countries, mine is AFRICAN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES and it was a counter to the original topic

Open my topic back, in fact, it deserves front page cos you have stopped all the comments that should have been dropped there.

Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer with an estimated 37 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, paradoxically grapples with some of the continent’s highest fuel pump prices, currently at around $0.617 per liter in August 2025. Despite its vast oil wealth, a combination of structural inefficiencies, policy missteps, and entrenched corruption drives this anomaly, undermining the economic benefits of its natural resources.

**Lack of Refining Capacity**: Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna have been largely non-functional for decades due to mismanagement and neglect. Despite producing 1.6 million barrels of crude oil daily, the country exports nearly all of it and imports refined petroleum products at high costs. This reliance on imports, coupled with global oil price fluctuations and a depreciating naira, significantly inflates fuel prices. Even with the Dangote Refinery, operational since September 2024, prices remain high as it sells fuel at market rates (around N898 per liter to NNPC), dashing hopes of immediate cost reductions.

**Subsidy Removal and Market Deregulation**: In May 2023, President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of fuel subsidies, a policy costing the government $3.7–$10 billion annually. This led to a price surge from N195 to over N1,000 per liter by October 2024, with prices stabilizing at around $0.617 in 2025. While subsidies kept fuel artificially cheap, their removal exposed consumers to market-driven prices, exacerbated by currency depreciation and import costs. The government’s failure to cushion this transition has intensified economic hardship, contradicting promises of lower prices.

**Corruption in the Oil Sector**: Corruption is a major driver of Nigeria’s high fuel prices, often described as part of the “resource curse.” Mismanagement and fraud in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) have long plagued the sector. A 2012 parliamentary report uncovered a $6 billion fraud involving NNPC officials, and between 2009 and 2020, Nigeria lost $46.16 billion to crude oil theft and 4.2 billion liters of petroleum products from refineries. Corrupt practices, including fuel smuggling to neighboring countries and inflated import contracts, drain resources that could lower pump prices. Weak regulatory oversight and lack of transparency further enable cartels to manipulate supply chains, ensuring refineries remain idle to favor imports.

**Economic and Social Impacts**: High fuel prices, driven by these factors, have ripple effects. With 70% of Nigerians living in poverty, the cost-of-living crisis worsens as transport and generator fuel costs soar, inflating food and service prices. The lack of reliable electricity forces reliance on fuel-powered generators, amplifying the burden. Protests, like those in August and October 2024, reflect public frustration with price hikes and perceived government betrayal, especially after promises of economic relief.

Until these systemic issues are addressed, Nigeria’s abundant oil reserves will continue to be a paradox, fueling poverty rather than prosperity.

If the person has withdrew all the money..

It's an otilo case ..

If you say you want to go to the police, the police will need to track him which incurs another fee from you not to talk of another affidavit or Court order to have the bank release his information ..

God help you all the information are up to date, this will cost more and take a lot of time to to get that money back ..

Even if you get him, if he claims, he never knew the money doesn't belong since know has informed him then you can't do nothing ..


Even if you Carry the case go court, if he wasnt informed by any party that the money wasn't his , them bo fit convict am ..


I see this as a goose chase .. That money is gone ..


.olokpa go just use you cash out...

fortunately, gt bank has contacted him and be refused to respond to them after the initial call and conversation, so that in itself has taken out him denying ignorance of the ownership of the money. And yes, I know very well that I will spend more to get him, but I am not fazed, the money is not even my aim, my aim is to teach a thief a lesson he will never forget.

How much to rent 2bed room in Ajah axis ?

I’m planning to move there this month

Depends on the side of Ajah, for rugged places like Mobil road, ilaje, etc, annual rent can range from 700k up, depending on the standard, however, in some estates, we could be talking over 3-4m plus, sangotedo axis can range from 1.5 up, Lakowe axis, from 1m up.

alamscolo:
The government esp Lagos State government has an hand in this esp the current government, imagine a friend acquired a ppty for his mum, just to renovate, they stopped them from working it's been over 2 months now and they settled laspa, Las orisirisi with over 3m and still paying, the guy just dey regret, area boys and baale own still dey o. Assuming it's for rent, will it be cheap? Don't forget to add the skyrocketing cost of materials

My church wanted to renovate its roof because the old roof was leaking. They started work and Lagos people came and stopped them, I can tell you not by hearsay, but because i have info on every dime spent, that the church used 19m to settle all the Lagos ministry and people constantly coming for one payment or another. Lagos is truly a crime scene.

Most of these songs are nowhere near July. We move by Mercy Chinwo was released last October.

Only 2 songs on this list were released in 2025

Sounds of Salem - We Will Be Many ft Lawrence Oyor and Moses Akoh and

Mercy Chinwo - Too Many Reasons ft Chioma Jesus

And if you say it wasn't the release month, but rather what is trending now, then where is 'No Turning Back' by Gaise and Lawrence?

That just means the number of heartbroken people every weekend is bigger than we initially thought.

Juliearth:
Let me share my experience with you. Such transfer of 10k was done to my account some years back.I knew it was a mistaken transaction because I wasn't expecting any funds at that time. It wasn't my call to go to the bank, but I knew the bank would do the needful and that, they did. A lien was placed on my account and the amount was debited after some days.


My point is that, you don't expect this person to run a refund for you. The transaction does not carry your full name or phone number so he cannot do the needful

Well it has been confirmed that this person has withdrawn the money, so he is a theif.

Revolva:
You are still mentiong court order do you know how long it takes to get a court order ..you think say na joke ....which court wna approve that order for a stupid mistake by someone ..just to block another person bank acc , do you think it works like that ...na who never apply for court order before go think it's easy

Na you no get the link bro, have your link and have your money, your order will be out in no time.

Personperson01:
Which platforms or channel Opay dey reply like this ... I get issues and I need solution. Call not connecting and even when it does dem dey waste my credit....? Even GTB too though I was asked to go to my branch but if I can get reply like Opay on this matter am good. Kindly help wit the handle and channel.

https://x.com/OPay_NG
. Just search for their verified handle on IG

Tohsynetita1:
Omo!
So, what is the solution now, even if you restrict it he might not use the bank anymore.

I'll probably take it up with the police, I may spend more, but the joy I'll derive from getting and dealing with a crook is incomparable.

CJStarz:
Alright then. I pray it works out well. Good luck. Pls don't forget to mention me when updating.

Just got an internal staff of GTB and he said the man has removed all the funds o, so we are talking about a case of fraud now. One thing about me, I can spend even more than the lost amount to deal with thieves and teach them a lesson, and that's exactly what I will do.

wahles:
try sending another money say 200 naira . In the naration include a short message with your mobile number . Hopefully Dey call back

Good idea! I will try to see if the person calls back. Thanks.

iamL:
Blame yourself too for your careless! You are the type that shifts blame on others. You have blamed the bank staff for assisting fraud while she is doing her job now Opay without seeing your own error.

You know what to do go and do it.

Were you not following the post, or were you just deliberately picking up the parts where I spoke of the staff? You did not see when I acknowledged my mistake many times and even resisted trying to restrict the recipient's account because he is innocent?

As my financial institution, they are obligated to assist me when i am in such a scenario; other banks will. Another GT bank branch staff told me that they will have no problem doing that if it were all a GT transaction, so why is Opay refusing to simply send a mail to GT bank?

Please this is not the time.

SamuelLoch:
Opay told you they can't help you liase with GT?

Bluntly! On multiple platforms. I will attach the screenshot of the response on both IG and Twitter.

Silentgroper:
Hahaha fraud ... If she sues for defamation if character , na another gbege be that ..

Btw, this is not a case of fraud but negligence and carelessness on your own part . So in one way, she's right opay has to be the one to initiate that request ..

You should be having that dispute with opay cause I really don't understand what the number not matching has to do with this...

Opay is trying to be a very useless bank and is trying to be complicit in their customer losing money.

Silentgroper:
the recipient bank should mske that available, have you asked them for that??

They said they cant rteveal personal details to a third party, and i understand. Opay is what is making the whole thing complicated.

fineboynl:
Opay should only save beneficiary account. Account that you manually save.

I don't get the point while they are saving all bank accounts that you transfer to. Saving account of people you don't know.

If you complete a transfer say transfer successful. Theere should be a button like save account for future use.


It happened to be and opay refuse to help. They said the account number is not I intend sending it to doesn't look alike with the account. And it was opay to opay.

That is the exact thing they are saying to me, because only the first 4 digits of the accounts match, they can not do anything. I dont understand? people send money to totally different account numbers and banks and the funds is still reversed, so why does mine with same first 4 digits a problem?

I am going to alausa tomorrow.
