I dropped out in my final years because of bad gangs – Oxlade

Popular Nigerian singer, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, popularly known as Oxlade, has shared the reason he abandoned his education in his final year.

The Lagos State University dropout disclosed that he was targeted by gangs in the school, explaining that he made the best decision by leaving the school environment.

The ‘Kulosa’ hitmaker 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.” (sic)

“I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized 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.”
