Amazing! Woman, Anu Yusuf Weds On Same Day She Bagged A First Class Degree
A Nigerian Birmingham City University student named Anu Yusuf wore two important outfits on the same day- her wedding dress and a cap and gown.
The 26-year-old bride received her Law LLB in a ceremony at Symphony Hall alongside hundreds of her fellow students on Wednesday 27 July, wearing a traditional cap and gown, on the same day, she married her heart-rob, Joseph Kolawole Ola, who shared the beautiful experience on Facebook:
âI MARRIED YOU!â
No, not âyouâ, I mean her, the beautiful damsel in the pictures below. But between the two of us, âI Married Youâ isnât just a phrase; itâs the title of the book I bought for her ON THE VERY FIRST DAY THAT I MET HER.
It was in a Youth Service Camp in Northern Nigeria. I was drawn to her as she stood looking at the books at the book stand in front of the hall where I had just finished holding a Bible Study session.
I walked up to her, struck up a conversation, and felt led to buy her a book by Late Walter Trobisch. I wanted to buy her âI Loved A Girlâ which was the only book by that author which I had read, but they were out of copies so I opted for another title by the same author; a book I HAD NOT EVEN READ MYSELF. And the title became a prophetic script: âI MARRIED YOU!â
And it cameâŚto pass. Last Wednesday. July 27th. I married her!
But not only that, ON THE SAME DAY, she graduated with a FIRST CLASS in her LLB Programme.
Pause right there. Give me a moment to tie it up for youâŚ
Of course, this isnât just a post about me getting married or about her graduating with a first class (we wonât be the first in anyways); but you know I like to draw out life lessons from almost everything. So this post wouldnât be without one, and here is it: GOD LISTENS TO YOUR SILENT WHISPERS!
Hereâs what I meanâŚ
When Eleos was leaving Nigeria for the UK in 2013, I intended to meet her at the airport. I woke up early enough, stopped by at a store to buy her a golden wristwatch that I wanted to give her as a parting gift alongside a Friendship Journal where I chronicled our first conversations in our first few months together since February 2012 when the relationship started…
But Lagos traffic did its worst and I didn’t make it to the airport in time to meet her. She had boarded the plane before I got there.
I cried. Like, literally.
Wow very inspiring. I wish you both a blissful marriage. Congrats
