Ekuit Mary Anthony, the head girl of Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) Ikot Obio Itong in Akwa Ibom State, has become an online sensation after her impressive 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results were shared on social media. The result, posted by Nigerian man Ojo Titilope on 7 August 2026, showed a string of A1 and B grades across nine subjects, prompting her teacher to predict a future in law.
Outstanding Performance in Nine Subjects
Mary sat for the WASSCE as a school candidate and achieved remarkable grades. She scored A1 in five subjects: Christian Religious Studies, Government, Civic Education, Digital Technologies, and Home Management. She also secured B2 in Economics and General Mathematics, and B3 in Literature in English and English Language.
This performance places her among the top achievers of the 2026 WASSCE cycle, a feat that has drawn widespread admiration from Nigerians online.
Teacher's Praise and Prediction
In his post, Titilope described Mary as "the headgirl any good school will ever wish to have," adding that she had never disappointed her school, her parents, or herself. He rounded off the tribute by declaring that the world awaits "one of the best lawyers," a sentiment echoed by many who commented on the post.
