A young Nigerian man is facing an unexpected dilemma after his younger sister exceeded all expectations in the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The man, identified on social media as @AdelekeAzeezOla, had promised his last-born sibling a brand-new phone if she passed the exam, never anticipating that she would deliver such an outstanding performance.
When the 2026 WAEC results were released, @AdelekeAzeezOla checked his sister's grades and was met with a result that left no room for negotiation. Instead of keeping the news private, he took to social media to share a photo of her result sheet, opening the matter up to public opinion.
Man's Promise Backfires as Sister Excels in WASSCE
In his post, @AdelekeAzeezOla wrote: "I promised to buy our last born a new phone if she pass her WAEC, girl did this," accompanied by a screenshot of her grades. He then added a humorous twist: "Mind you, me myself I need a new phone. What can I do?"
The post quickly resonated with many Nigerians who have either made similar promises or watched others squirm their way out of them. His candid admission that he is also in the market for a new device only added to the relatability and humour of the situation.
Social Media Reacts to Man's Dilemma
The post sparked a wave of reactions, with many users encouraging him to honour his promise, while others jokingly suggested he find a way out. The situation has become a talking point, highlighting the pressures and joys of sibling relationships in Nigeria.
While the man's immediate concern is whether to buy his sister the phone or find a compromise, the bigger story is his sister's academic achievement. Her performance in the 2026 WASSCE is a testament to her hard work and dedication, and it has made her brother proud, even if it comes with a financial sting.

These stories underscore the importance of academic excellence and the joy it brings to families. They also serve as a reminder that promises made in jest can sometimes lead to the most memorable outcomes.
