WASSCE 2020: WAEC reveals those who leaked question paper  The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) has claimed that some of its supervisors leaked exam questions before the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) began. This was revealed by WAEC’s Head of National Office, Patrik Areghan, on Wednesday. Areghan stated this during a monitoring exercise to some schools in Yaba, Lagos State. He confirmed that the culpable supervisors have since been arrested and warned students not to indulge in malpractice. “Students should not go about looking for anything they call expo. It is shameful, supervisors collecting question papers from WAEC and going somewhere to open the questions. “Yesterday we caught one in Nasarawa. They don’t know that we have a way of detecting them. In Bauchi, we caught another. We detected it from here. In Port Harcourt, a candidate did the same thing and was arrested,” Areghan said. This year’s examinations began on

COVID-19: Pastors yet to open churches are not believers – Chris Oyakhilome attacks Bakare, others Rev Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Believers Love World, also known as Christ Embassy Church, has lambasted pastors that have refused to reopen their churches due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oyakhilome said such pastors have denied the faith, stressing that they are no longer believers.

Do they really believe in God, the same God of the patriarchs in the Bible?” “When you get to that point where you a
