Edet Happiness Sunday, a Nigerian secondary school leaver known as Unique on TikTok, has gone viral after sharing her emotional reaction to her 2026 WAEC result. She received a D7 grade in English Language, a result that visibly disappointed her despite strong performances in eight other subjects.
Emotional Reaction and Immediate Plans
In the video she posted on TikTok, Happiness expressed her disappointment, saying she felt bad the moment she saw the grade. She said, "Me feeling bad immediately I saw D7 in my English." The video quickly resonated with many students who faced similar outcomes in the same examination.
Happiness did not dwell on the setback. She revealed her next line of action: she plans to sit for the National Examinations Council (NECO) examination next year to improve her English result. This is a common route for Nigerian students who wish to upgrade a weak grade to meet university admission requirements.

The result screenshot displayed in the video showed that Happiness performed well across a number of subjects. She recorded A1 grades in both Civic Education and Livestock Farming, a B3 in Agriculture, and credit passes in General Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Marketing. The D7 in English Language was the only grade pulling her result down.
With eight passes including two A1s, her overall performance was strong, but the English grade remains a critical hurdle for many Nigerian students seeking admission into tertiary institutions. Her decision to retake through NECO aligns with the two-sittings policy accepted by many universities.

- @SUNNYLISKY added: "Omo this English get as ee be for everyone. mime was C6. most everyone have C6 AND D7."
These comments highlight a common trend among WAEC candidates, where English Language often proves challenging even for those who excel in other subjects.
