Stampede to Enter Exam Hall?
Do they usually Rush to enter Exam Hall?
If Yes, why should anyone rush to enter Exam Hall?

If the Hall cannot contain everyone, the remaining students are suppose to go to another hall.

Abi what kind of wahala be this?
Did the school admit beyond their Capacity?
Was the number of Carryover student so much that they had to rush?

Laslas sha, may we never be Unfortunate.
Amen!

Softmirror:

Exactly 💯 I don't know why we are always like that.

God rest their souls.
