WASSCE 2017 May/June Results: WAEC Records Best Performance In 10 Years

The West African Examination Council (WAEC)
yesterday announced a 59.22 percent pass rate
in the 2017 May/June West African Senior
School Examinations (WASSCE).
The 59.22 percent represents the number of
candidates that obtained credit pass in five
subjects including English language and
Mathematics.
This figure happens to be the best the council
has achieved in the last 10 years.
....
This is a great improvement when compared with
the 2008 results which had just 13.76 of the
candidates that sat for the exam obtaining credit
passes in five subjects including English
Language and Mathematics.
It is also on record that the percentage of
candidates in this category in WASSCE for 2015
and 2016 were 38.68 percent and 52.97 percent,
respectively.
In the light of this, it can be said that these
results may be an indication that we are
gradually drifting away from the era of mass
failure that has characterized the performance of
candidates in past times.

In his words:- “The situation of sanitation in Nigeria is alarming. Nigeria is third worldwide when it comes to open defecation, one-third of the population practise it. “Nigeria is a heavy weight country, not only in Africa, but worldwide. “It does not go well to know that open defecation is being practised widely in various communities in a strong country like Nigeria. “So, we need to do something about that beyond the traditional approach to improve on the situation,’’ he said. He further mentioned that UNICEF would continue to provide funds that would be merged with counterpart funds from state government to render the much needed services. Jurji said that eradicating open defaecation would also assist to improve sanitation, being one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ...

THE DANGERS OF SELLING ON KONGA AND JUMIA – MARKETPLACE RISKS

Image
I start selling on Konga & Jumia last year and have successfully sold and shipped over 250 different products nationwide without a single review. BuyMart sales on Konga & Jumia have exceed a million naira. This is a business I started with just #10,000 in 2014. To be completely honest with you, the store was just an experiment. I don’t have a business plan or any business continuity plan in place. I was just having fun and never take it serious from the onset. I was playing around on the internet risking my money and enriching internet service providers but something change midway, I started getting bank alert for little effort. All I have to do is just a basic homework, buy the products, ship it to Nigeria, list them on Konga and Jumia, they do the marketing and advert, ensure I get sales, give them the product to deliver to customers and I get bank alert for successful delivery. Becoming a seller on Konga and Jumia is VERY simple a...
