Which is the most important between a wedding and an examination? For Oluwatunmise Adejube, an HND 1 Accountancy student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), Ondo State, both are dear. On her wedding day, after she was pronounced a new bride, Oluwatunmise rushed to the school to write an exam.
It appeared like an Aro (a comic display) taken too far. All was silent in the examination hall as students prepared to write a tough paper. Then a lady, clad in a sparkling wedding gown, sauntered in, walking dazzlingly on the narrow path between the hall benches.
Before invigilators at the Old Auditorium, the exam venue, understood what was happening, the tension-soaked atmosphere became relaxed as the lady’s action elicited laughter from the stressed students, who thought it was all a drama. But, this was not a comedy, neither was it a rib-tickling stunt. It all happened at Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO) in Ondo State.
The lady, Oluwatunmise Adejube, was actually a candidate for the examination.
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.”

Will she be in the right frame of mind to write the exam after going through the hassles and stress of preparation for the wedding. What time did she used to at least study for the exams. invited guest and well wishers could as well be outside the venue waiting for her so that they can go straight to the venue. Attention seeking freak. I know they will go and write the paper somewhere and replace the ones he did in the hall and at the end of the day they will rush to the media to say that she made a fantastic result, Na today? No be Naija we get special centre. Check the number of students graduating with first class degrees today and some of them can construct meaningful English or write ordinary essay or term paper. Some simply go to the web and dub verbatim other peoples works. First class materials ooh. The school has trivialized academic pursuits by even allowing such, I for one can never from now take such a school serious again because academic work is a serious business. Though there may be no law prohibiting her wearing wedding gown to write exams,but this portrays her as one not serious student who do not plan well. In fact,this also tells you that some of these so called higher institutions today are no more than glorified secondary school.Oto!
