Emmanuel left school 5 years ago
In a touching Facebook post on Monday, October 16, Emmanuel revealed she took the exam five years after leaving secondary school.
She said lack of finances made it difficult for her to get her WAEC and was able to take NECO because a kindhearted fellow, Raymond paid for it, after another young man, Egboka Victory, publicised her emotional appeal on Facebook.
"...He asked me how much, told him and boom, he sent the money that same day! I cried, because at first, it didn't feel real. Called my mom, she was so happy. I thanked him, wholeheartedly," she said of her benefactor who paid for the NECO.
Emmanuel's mum was so happy
The young lady said her not having a NECO or WAEC result had been a stumbling block between her Nigerian army aspiration and other opportunities.
"If you know me too well, especially on this space, you will know how much I crave to join the military. External certificate like WAEC/NECO is the reason, I haven't joined the military.
"Aside the military, there's alot I could do with the certificate but unfortunately those opportunities keep passing by and it always makes me look like a failure!"
Emmanuel said her mum sent her N2k after seeing her result. Emmanuel cleared her NECO exams, scoring five C's as well as a 'B' in English language and an 'A' in marketing.
