This many sound like one of those many stories you just hear around, but this is real! It happened in Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo, Ondo state. A bride identified as Oluwatumise Adejube, a student of the department of accountancy in the said polytechnic, hurriedly left the venue of her wedding in Owo to take an exam. Imagine the surprise of other students present there, it must have felt like a movie was about to happen.
The Nation reports that the new bride was accompanied by her bridesmaids in three exotic cars.
A young woman dazzling through a crowded exam hall, pushing through the narrow benches, definitely eased the tension-soaked atmosphere of the hall, as students laughed easing up.
The bride left the hall an hour later to join her husband and guest who were patiently 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.
