Man scored 9As in 1984 WASSCE, was asked to rewrite under strict supervision, he scored 9As

In 1984, Sarki Abba achieved remarkable results in his West Africa Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), securing a stunning 9 A1 grades.

However, Nigerian authorities were taken aback by his exceptional achievement, suspecting possible malpractice.

As a result, they required him to retake the exam with strict supervision to ensure its integrity.

To their astonishment, Abba, hailing from Nigeria’s Kano State, replicated his feat by once again obtaining 9 A1 grades in the retaken examination.

This extraordinary accomplishment forced the authorities to publicly apologize for doubting his abilities when he was just sixteen years old.

The sole divergence between Abba’s scores in the two examinations lay in the details. The first examination yielded 9 A1s, while the second comprised of 8 A1s and 1 A2 grade.

Recalling this outstanding performance by Abba, the authorities decided to institute a National Merit Award in recognition of his exceptional achievement.

Expressing his opinions further, the commentator criticized the creators of Nigeria’s popular reality show, “Big Brother Naija” (BB Naija).

He argued that instead of promoting shows like BB Naija, which he labeled as frivolous, young individuals should be exposed to inspiring narratives like that of Sarki Abba. These meaningful stories have the potential to encourage positive aspirations among the youth.

The commentator’s statement resonated with their followers, as a majority of them expressed their admiration for Sarki Abba’s accomplishments and agreed with the sentiment that impactful stories of success should be highlighted.
