Nigerian singer and vocalist, Oxlade recently revealed the reasons behind his decision to drop out of university and run away from home due to threats from cultists. In an interview with “Punch Newspapers” on September 18, 2024, Oxlade shared that he left Lagos State University (LASU) during his final year to protect his life. He explained, “I dropped out because it was a crazy time. Some gangs were after me because I’m a fine boy. It’s either you join them or they get rid of you, so I had to leave.” He noted that LASU has since improved its focus on academics, but during his time, the environment was dangerous. Oxlade acknowledged the university’s efforts to curb such behaviors, adding, “Now everyone is chasing money.”
