Afrobeats artiste, Oxlade, has narrated his experience when he was a target of some violent gangs.
The musician with thereal name, Ikuforiji Abdulrahman, said it was the fear of such gangs that made him drop out of the Lagos State University, Ojo.
In a podcast, he expressed the delight that peace and progress have returned to LASU.
Oxlade said: “I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a crazy time. There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It is either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.”
“I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realised how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behaviour. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.
“After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out.”
