On her wedding day, Oluwatunmise Adejube, a
student of Department of Accountancy,
hurriedly left the Owo local government area,
where she swore matrimonial oath, and rushed
to the school to write an exam.
The Nation reports that the new wife was
accompanied by a group of young ladies, who
formed her bridal train. They stormed the school
in a convoy of three exotic cars.
No need to describe faces of other students in
the examination hall, when a young lady in a
sparkling wedding dress sauntered in, walking
dazzlingly on the narrow path between the hall
benches. Before invigilators understood what
was happening, the tension-soaked atmosphere
became relaxed as the sudden appearance of the
bride elicited laughter from the stressed students,
who prepared to write a difficult paper.
An hour later, Oluwatunmise was on her way
from the examination hall to reception, where
her husband and guests were waiting for her.
An invigilator, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said that Oluwatumise was allowed
to write the paper despite her lateness for the
exam. He also praised the girl for her
determination not to be carried away by the
euphoria of the wedding.
Speaking with reporters after writing the paper,
Oluwatumise stressed that her education was as
important to her as her marriage.
“When the wedding date was fixed some months
ago, nobody knew it would clash with my
second semester examination. What appears to
be a saving grace for me is that, both the
wedding and examination are taking place in the
same town. If otherwise, I would have missed
the three-unit paper and carry it automatically,”
she said.
The groom, Mr Adesina, said that he was
shocked and stumped when his bride told him
the examination timetable clashed with the
wedding.
“I really praised her dogged determination. It
was like a tug of war because she had to prepare
for her exam and ran around for the wedding at
the same time. Now that the confusion is over, I
give thanks to God for making it easy for us,” he said.
