Pictures of a woman who reportedly left her reception, and rush right down to college to write her exam in her gown went viral last week.

The three hundred level social science student of Benue State University, Makurdi, known as Dooshima Aondaver Moses in an interview with the Punch correspondent, reveals why she took that decision.

Here are excerpts from her interview;

When did you begin planning for your wedding?

The whole issue started in 2016. That was when both of us, my husband and i decided to quiet down as husband and married person. As a graduate of the same department, my husband understands everything fine, therefore we were operating with the academic calendar. the marriage was presupposed to come back up within the first two weeks of the second semester of three hundred level when there wouldn't be a lot of educational activities.

Unfortunately, the university had an enclosed crisis that led to the closing down of the university for 3 months and after we resumed, we thought that the marriage would still hold when the examination however shortly when the native strike was known as off then came the national ASUU strike. we still thought that the strike would drag till when our wedding however lo and behold, the strike was suspended, all these modified the academic calendar.

But why didn’t you shift the marriage date?

There was no approach we might have called off the marriage as a result of all arrangement had gone way and families and friends from way and close to had been informed. therefore it became extraordinarily tough to cancel it as many of us from Lagos, Abuja and other places had been aware of the October seven date. therefore career off the marriage would have disrupted other programmes. At the time the national strike was called off, the plan for the communication was free.

At the time the time table for your exams was released, what efforts did you create to persuade your department to give concession to you?

The time table was released now the national strike was called off. though I informed the department but they told me there was nothing they could do. They said since the time table was already out, there was no time for me to lodge any official complaint.

They said if that had happened before it came out, the department may need thought-about that. Again, the matter is that i used to be therefore busy creating arrangement for my wedding.

It was an equivalent week that we did the standard wedding, court wedding and church wedding. i made a decision to travel ahead with the wedding and at an equivalent time prepare for my examination.

What was the course you probably did that day together with your gown on?

International social science and that i did it well to the best of my knowledge.

How did you cope making ready for your wedding and your examination at an equivalent time?

Actually, it was difficult for me. i attempted to strike a balance by running around and at the same time reading for the examination, it was difficult at all but one issue that kept me going was the actual fact that I had created up my mind to not carry over any course due to my wedding. So, that call was my soothing balm.

At what purpose did you allow the marriage venue for the examination hall?

We had complete the church ceremony as a result of the wedding was control at excellent news Chapel, Benue State University. we were at the reception and shortly when we entered the venue, I had to justify myself and also the train and quietly sneak away, dissembling to travel to ease myself. though many of the bridal train square measure my course mates, therefore as I sneaked out, therefore additionally my course mates who were within the bridal train. we all rush right down to take the examination.

What vehicle brought you to the examination hall?

We had ended the church ceremony as a result of the wedding was control at excellent news Chapel, Benue State University. we were at the reception and shortly when we entered the venue, I had to make a case for myself and therefore the train and quietly sneak away, pretending to travel to ease myself. though a number of of the bridal train are my course mates, thus as I sneaked out, thus conjointly my course mates who were within the bridal train. we all rush all the way down to take the exam.

What vehicle brought you to the examination hall?

It was the same vehicle that I used for the marriage that brought me. the purpose is that my husband, shut family and friends were responsive to the plan; thus right from the church, we had to rush the programme, the pastor that officiated our wedding, Pastor Jude, was also responsive to the arrangement, he tried to minimise the service till we need to the reception. a few of the officers at the reception were responsive to the arrangement.

For instance, the chairman of the reception whereas addressing the group, noted that everything had to be done moderately because the couple required to fulfill up with other pressing matters. He didn't mention it notably.

As the reception was current, my husband and that i were looking at ourselves and checking time intermittently thus as to not be late to the examination hall as a result of department of economics is extremely strict with examination tips. thus knowing this, i used to be terribly alert to time.

You know that several of my course mates were conjointly at the reception, thus all people were cautious of time; after all, several left the reception before me.
But it's assumed that weddings ought to be savoured to the fullest with none distraction; didn’t you see it that way?

Well, I see wedding as a womb-to-tomb enjoyment, thus I didn't need to use one to jeopardise the opposite. it's true it was the day of celebration and lots of individuals were at the reception to celebrate me, however I had another necessary issue that was my examination.

Your paper was mounted for what time?

It was scheduled for 3pm to 6pm that weekday, it was a three-unit course.

At the time you left the reception, what was the reaction of individuals and did your husband also follow you?

Well, few of my relations as I earlier said were responsive to it, however I learnt there was tension once other guests didn't see the bride once more, per what they told me. however step by step, the group dilute out; thus there was no downside in the least but my husband remained behind at the time I left beside a number of of the bridal train who are my course mates.

Was there distraction at the time you entered the examination hall?

Since all of them were aware and most of them attended the marriage, there was no distraction at the time I entered the examination hall.

You weren't afraid that something might have happened as you left your husband at the reception?

Nothing might have happened as a result of it was our arrange to not rob Paul to pay Peter. A pastor named Isaac was the one who drove the automotive that day; four of my train were within the same automotive that brought me, thus all people walked into the examination hall together with the pastor.

Was there no time for you to alter your bridal gown to traditional dress at the time you came to the campus?

Actually, after I came in, i attempted to manage the time. Ordinarily, the department includes a dress code whereas returning to category but having eaten into the time, there was no time on behalf of me to travel and change my dress, in spite of everything they were all responsive to the marriage ceremony. i'm certain that was the privilege they gave me to take the examination.

Since you said that you simply were within the examination hall throughout the length, it means that you'll not return to the reception?
My arrange at the start was that i'd do the paper and rush back to the reception. sadly, by the time I finished, the entire issue had complete. after I known as my husband, he said he was already within the hotel sleeping.

Now that the day had return and gone with the drama created by your action, how can you describe the day?

October 7, 2017 can stay evergreen in my life, a blessed day because it's each woman’s dream to get married. I can't forget the day because the marriage coincided with my examination that i was able to take.

Your examination remains on. As a brand new couple, you got to be in honeymoon currently.

(Cuts in) To me, I see daily in wedding to be honeymoon, not simply to line many days off for honeymoon. i feel what honeymoon suggests that is for your partner to pet you, kiss you, hug you, take you out and every one that but to me, life is little by little. thus no matter you have got to try and do, it's higher for one to try and do it well. So for me, honeymoon may be a time period expertise.

Do you have recommendation for those planning similar thing in future?

My recommendation to young women is to be determined because the way to success isn't straightforward. One desires determination, discipline and focus, because for me, rejection reception for examination is discipline.

I was determined to not fail as the other person may have said there's no massive deal, I will carry over the course, but for me, I didn’t wish to hold over the course because I actually have no reason to. Despite the actual fact that it had been a celebration day, I needed to try and do what was the foremost priority on my list that was my examination. we should always not take things with no consideration, once it's time to try and do one thing, it's higher to try and do it.
