Well done guys!!

Why is this news, is it illegal for black siblings to attend college in London.

Please stand with Ugandans to claim the release of a reKnown blogger Fred Lumbuye was kidnapped in Turkey for criticizing the dictatorship regime in Uganda. It will be a human rights offense to hand him back to the enemy. Hope this won’t be another kashoogi case.

well done guys . all the best at university .

Well done 👏

Let’s hope white council estate kids aspire to this one day, they never have in my lifetime.

Notice you've changed the story headline from 'Identical Twins' at last...

Well done boys!! With such high pass marks, that's means the algorithm wasn't working in the first place. Many who had low grades for many years, with this teachers markings- many more would have gotten a higher grade..

At least two positives from this A level fiasco.

Congratulations 👏 👏👏

Well done what an achievement

Congratulations both.

Cue the angry bitter old white people lol

Well done lads - you may be twins but you don’t look identical - I speak as a father of non-identical twins.

From the article: 🤷👏 all the best when you graduate. Emmanuel will now study English literature at Oxford University, while Ebenezer will read Spanish and Russian at Cambridge. ALevelResults

Just what we like to see 👏 I'm guessing the the degree choice + University choice will help them get a job after graduating?🤷👍 alevels2021

What a great story and achievement! Well done boys and a special well done mum! You must be so proud!!!

Per aspera ad astra 💪💪

When study pays. Good luck and great future boys! ❤️
