If you were in her shoes what would you do?
Oluwatunmise Adejube, an HND 1 Accountancy student of Rufus Giwa
Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), Ondo State, decided both are of equal
importance. On her wedding day, after she was pronounced a new bride,
Oluwatunmise rushed to the school to write an exam.
After she said “yes I do” to her beau, Oluwatumise, a student of
Department of Accountancy, hurriedly left the Owo Local Government Area,
where she swore matrimonial oath, and rushed to the school for her
Higher National Diploma (HND) 1 examination.
She created a scene when she breezed into the examination hall in
her flowing wedding gown. She was accompanied by a group of ladies, who
formed her bridal train. They stormed the school in a convoy of three
exotic cars.
Barely an hour later, Oluwatunmise rushed out of examination hall
to reception, where her husband and guests were waiting for her arrival
at the ceremony.
An invigilator, who spoke told CAMPUSLIFE on condition of
anonymity, said Oluwatumise was allowed to write the paper despite her
lateness for the exam because of her determination not to be carried
away by the euphoria of her wedding.
Speaking with our reporter after writing the paper, Oluwatumise,
who now answers Mrs Adesina, said she had no choice than to leave the
court room to write the paper, stressing that her education was as
important to her as her marriage.
She said: “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.”
The groom, Adesina, told CAMPUSLIFE that he was startled when his
bride told him the examination timetable clashed with the wedding. He
said he , Production Management, was considered the toughest and her
spouse would be writing the paper on the day of their wedding.
He said: “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.”
