After the WAEC results had been released in their village, a boy travelled to the city, met with his uncle and said, “Uncle, now that I have obtained my WAEC results, daddy said that you can get me into the university to study medicine. I really want to become a doctor.” And the uncle smiled and said, “Very well. But what are your scores?”
The boy replied, “Uncle, I had credits in Agriculture and Yoruba language, but I failed the remaining subjects.” And the uncle said, “Well, that's not too bad. You can still become a doctor, though not a medical doctor. You will make a good native doctor (babalawo). Your credit in Agriculture will be useful in collecting herbs from the forest, while your credit in Yoruba language will help you in your incantations.”
