In response to viral misinformation, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially refuted claims circulating online that suggest candidates sitting for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will no longer be allowed to choose their subjects. ‎ Fake News Alert: WAEC Clarifies Its Position ‎Earlier this week, social media platforms were flooded with rumors that WAEC had scrapped the freedom for candidates to select subjects of their choice for the 2026 exam. However, the examination body, in a statement released by its Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, labeled the claims as entirely false and misleading. ‎According to Adesina, the false post was not only outdated but also fabricated to create confusion among students, parents, and educators. ‎ Subject Selection for WASSCE Remains Unchanged ‎WAEC reassures students and stakeholders that there has been no change to the subject selection policy for the 2026 WASSCE.

‎Exam season is here—and with it comes the pressure to remember facts, formulas, dates and details. But what if you could give your brain a real edge instead of just pulling all‑nighters? The good news: there are simple, research‑backed habits that help your memory work for you—not against you.   ‎Here are nine ways to support your brain and boost your memory, so you walk into those exams confident, focused and ready.   ‎1. Priorities Quality Sleep   ‎You might think staying up late to study is your best move—but your brain sees it differently.

Eat Brain‑Friendly Foods ‎Your meals matter when your brain is in overdrive. Choose whole grains, lean protein and colourful veggies that supply steady energy. Foods rich in antioxidants and omega‑3s support that memory en...

 ‎ OpenAI ’s launch of the ChatGPT Atlas browser drew headlines for promising to reinvent web browsing. But beneath the hype lies a key detail the company didn’t emphasize: Atlas is built on the Chromium engine — the same foundation powering Google Chrome , Microsoft Edge and countless other browsers.   ‎Key Facts You Should Know    ‎1. ChatGPT Atlas uses Chromium open‑source code, which OpenAI references in tiny print on a support page yet didn’t highlight during its big announcement.  ‎2.  At launch, CEO Sam Altman claimed Atlas would challenge Chrome’s long‑standing dominance. However, tech analysts note the irony: Atlas adds an AI plug‑in layer instead of delivering a fundamentally new engine.   ‎3. Core features of Atlas include an integrated ChatGPT sidebar , right‑click context‑aware menus, and “browser memories” (which let you ask: “Re‑open the shoes I looked at yesterday.”)     ‎4. The browser supports regular Chr...

 Whether you're gearing up for midterms, finals or a big certification exam, prepping smart is key. Below are ten study tips that will help you stay focused, feel confident and get the results you’re aiming for. 1. Start early & plan like a pro Let’s be honest – procrastination is tempting. But if you kick off your study process in good time, you’ll thank yourself later. Build a realistic timetable: mark exam dates, slot in subjects based on difficulty, and leave buffer days for unexpected detours. When you plan ahead you reduce stress and increase your control. 2. Make your study space work for you Your surroundings can make or break your focus. Ask yourself: is your chair comfortable? Is the lighting good? Is your phone on silent or Do-Not-Disturb? Some people thrive in silence; others prefer light music. What matters is *you* feel ready, comfortable and distraction-free.   3. Swap passive reading for active learning Reading is fine — but it’s not enough. To really abs...

    The United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued a serious warning to its citizens ahead of the scheduled “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now” demonstration in the capital city of Abuja on Monday, October 20.   Sources say the march—organised by activists demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in custody since June 2021—will push through key central areas including Eagle Square and the Central Business District.   In its advisory, the Embassy emphasised: roadblocks, major traffic jams and potential confrontations between security forces and protesters are very likely—and could escalate into violent clashes.   Accordingly, American citizens are urged to:   * Avoid the protest areas entirely. * Minimise movement across Abuja on the day. * Keep children indoors and hold off commuting staff who would travel into the city from outside. * Stay alert: Avoid crowds, monitor local media, keep your phone...

  In a volatile turn of events in Abuja on Monday, the ongoing protest for the release of separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu once again surfaced deep-seated political tensions. At the centre of the controversy this time is a public exchange between government representatives and opposition figures over legal ethics, the right to protest, and the role of lawyers in politically-charged matters.   Background of the protest   Supporters of Nnamdi Kanu, who leads the banned organisation ­- the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) -- gathered in the Nigerian capital to demand his immediate release. Tensions escalate when government forces deployed heavily and attempted to halt the protest.   Amid this, the government through its spokesman publicly called for professional sanctions against one of Kanu’s lawyers, asserting that his participation in the protest breached legal norms.   What the Presidency said   Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Info...
