On social media, former Kwame Nkrumah Senior High School student Richlove Oduro is once again the talk of the town. This time, it's because the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the results of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). In order to compare Richlove's WASSCE scores to those of other pupils, a social media user has launched a campaign to find out. The user's objective is to confirm Richlove's assertion that her school produces intellectually gifted pupils and is not merely a show.
Following a contentious interview with Goshers, the showrunner of High Schools Africa, Richlove became well-known. Richlove expressed her opinions about the National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ) throughout the discussion, saying that it shouldn't be the only criterion used to assess a school's caliber. Richlove openly stated her opinion that the NSMQ is more of a show than a reliable indicator of academic achievement when questioned why her institution was not eligible for the 2024 NSMQ. Online, her remarks generated a heated discussion, with some praising her position and others condemning her for allegedly demeaning the program because her school had not won any of its editions.
The social media user is now intent on learning about Richlove's performance in order to support or refute her assertion on the academic standards of her school, as the WASSCE results have been made public. There has been a lot of interest in the user's post, and many people are excitedly anticipating the release of Richlove's findings.
It is unclear how Richlove's WASSCE scores would be interpreted and whether they will support or refute her claims on the academic excellence of her school. But one thing is for sure: Richlove Oduro is once again a social media hot subject, and many people still find resonance in her views on academic competitions and education.
