According to Sun News Online, no fewer than 15 persons recently returned certificates issued to them by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). They said they had to give up the certificates because they cheated during the examination, and now as Born Again Christians, they could not live with “the sin.”
Some individuals, Saturday Sun gathered, had approached WAEC through letters seeking restitution after they had confessed how they dubiously acquired their certificates when they wrote the examinations at various periods.
The council wrote back to them, stating that what they were expected to do was to return the certificates awarded in line with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examinations. However, only few responded, including a holder of Teachers’ Grade 11 certificate.
It was learnt that those who complied with the directive returned their certificates to various WAEC offices nationwide and the council took their case to the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC), which, at its 55th meeting in Lagos, cancelled the returned 15 certificates. The oldest certificate returned was dated 1983, next was 1990 then 1992, 95, 96.....etc. Do you think the candidates went over the top or did the right thing. I think they did the right thing because whatever is founded on lies would always come out in the end and when a foundation is faulty the whole house would collapse. To alot of it. They should have just moved on but in the end its between them and God and if they have found peace then thats all that matter no matter what people say. I wish our politicians would do same, Nigeria would be a better country if things like this are done/emulated.
