"I dropped out of the University in my final year because it was a crazy time," Oxlade explained. "There were some gangs after me because I'm a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It's either you join them or they [harm] you. So I had to leave that environment," he added.

Oxlade described the situation as dire, forcing him to flee. "I went to Lagos State University (LASU)... 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."screenshot_20240920_132002

After leaving school, Oxlade said the struggle continued. "After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn't tell my family why I dropped out," he revealed, highlighting the emotional toll of his decision.
