I left school because of gangs — Oxlade

Nigerian singer, Ikuforiji Abdulrahman, well known as Oxlade, claims that gangs made him to drop out of school.

The former Lagos State University student said he had to drop out of school in his last year, calling the experience a “crazy time” and claiming “leaving the school environment the best decision for him” in a recent podcast that Punch Online quoted on Wednesday.

It was a hectic period, so I left the university in my last year. I’m a fine boy, therefore there were several gangs following me. You become a target when you’re a fine boy. 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 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,” he revealed.

Meanwhile, the singer warmed the hearts of his fans as he welcomed his father on stage at his album listening party on Wednesday, September 18.
