As told to Zikoko

My grandmother always wanted a son, but she had four daughters. When I came along, my mum thought I could be the son her mother had always wanted, so she shipped me off to live with her. I was just one at the time.

At four years old, I started hawking fried fish on the streets of Ibadan for my grandmother. If I didn’t make enough money in a day, she would send me back out to make more. Sometimes, she locked me out of the house and made me sleep outside. I don’t remember much from that time, but I know that because I was always out on the streets, I was running errands for the boys in the neighbourhood, getting them packs of cigarettes or wraps of weed.

I returned to my mum when I was seven. I started smoking cigarettes when I was 10. By the time I turned 15, I was experimenting with weed and drugs. It was about that time that I decided that I’d had enough of school. Not that we had enough money, anyway. Things were tougher than ever at home because my dad had died, so I dropped out of school and went to live with a cousin who sold phone accessories. The plan was to learn the business from him and go out on my own, but he wasn’t exactly the model teacher.

He would buy fake phone accessories at cheap prices and sell them at a ridiculously high rate. He was also the first person that introduced me to girls and clubs. In fact, he facilitated my first sexual experience. I was 16.

***

I left my cousin when I was 20 or 21 and went to work at a hotel as a housekeeper. One night in 2018, this group of guys came to party and lodge at the hotel. I was immediately drawn to them. They were all the things I wanted to be: rich and lavish. I knew what not having enough money meant, and I wanted what they had.

I served them until it was time for me to go off-duty. One of them asked me to sit with them for a while, and I agreed. Let’s call him B — he will come up in this story again. We partied together all night and when they were leaving, they gave me ₦15k, promising to come back.

They did come back. The more I talked to B, the more I wanted to be one of them. A part of me knew that they belonged to a cult, but they had what I wanted — wealth or some semblance of it. I was disappointed when B told me that they were leaving town in a few days, but I quickly got over it and asked if I could come with them. He said I could, but I had to be ready to leave in three days. I was ready to leave anytime. The way I saw it, if I was with them, I’d never lack.

***

We left Ibadan on a Saturday and travelled to Abeokuta. They were students in a school somewhere in Ogun State. The first thing they did was throw a big party to welcome me. That felt very nice. Around 1 am, they said it was time to meet other members of the gang, and we left the house. I was going to my initiation.

Nightalan:
This guy writes so bad, like a semi-illiterate trying too hard.
I had to skip most of the nonsense, no head, no tail, the content is very poor. How do people contact you for such mediocre, shoddy PR works?

Post your works and let's compare and contrast.

Meto1234:

"Olusegun agagu university of science and technology" and is formally know as "ondo state university of science and technology".m

Ohhkay

Meto1234:

No

What's the full name of the school if I may ask

Meto1234:

OAUS TECH formally know as osus tech.

Have never heard of that do you mean oau

Many days for the thief one day for the owner

YourMajesty:
Let's assume you saw your pastor lavishing the Tithe on Automobiles, designers suits and light skin prostitutes, would you still dance in excitement to drop your Tithe the next Sunday?

I'll be discouraged but I'll still pay my tithes. The bibles says looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our Faith the bible didn't say we should look unto our Pastor

Have never tried it even if I don't have money I'll go to church and pay nothing. It shows the man does not fear God at all. The bible says give and it shall be given unto you you're doing it for God not men. People should be Careful in all they do when problems comes is not God you'll run too abi. I pay my tithes regardless of what the Pastor uses the money for.

Am sorry to say this but the title is different from your content

Which school is this

Kaduna1stson:
Don't worry, we will give your region the presidency in 2023, that's what you need and please stop complaining about our herdsmen.

You're not sensible, Nigeria does not belong to you stupid people.

She is pretty

Golan007:


I won't say so.

But trust anything Naija people are involved in they would apply all manner of illegalities in it.

Genuine cryptocurrencies are worth investing in.

Sorry for jumping into your conversation, the point am trying to make is that I mistakenly registered at all these crypto sites though white though was that it's so secured that no one touched my money at all for close to 9 month. I'd were to be all those scammers my money would have gone.

Bad belle people dull nairaland

Sapiosexuality:
So, that's how you help an 18 year old? Somebody who has no skill or plan or even understands any depth of suffering? What do you even know about the helper?

My point is that he has acknowledged his mistake and am sure he won't do that again. We're not living with him and we don't know his father, so if the guy commits suicide now because nobody helped him what will be your point then. My advice now is that he needs money and shelter not necessarily the job

Sapiosexuality:
I don't think he deserves such help yet. He will want to look classy and be pushed to sell your pigs or gamble with your proceeds. There are better people in need of such position.

What is your own set, help you won't yet you're discouraging the man that want to help him. The mistake he was being truthful

lenghtinny:
This boy belongs to the sweet boy association

Contact your optician immediately

Seems you're blind and can't see

Mfm is trying with music ohh not all these people singing reggae on their various churches and are calling it Gospel

For someone use to overdo everything, make up 5 hours haba. I support the pastor 100%

hakym619:
He should be happy that a celebrity bashed his car

Its your type that oppress people when you become rich

thatigboman:
edo own na collabo. Local criminals kidnap people and hand them over to fulani herdmen that will take them through isrealite journey inside bush. One can be kidnapped in okpella near kogi and be made to trek all day all night and be released in Ore, Ondo State. My cousin was kidnapped by fulani herdsmen in ajaokuta kogi state and released at kabba kogi, more than 30km away. A friend of mine was kidnapped at kaduna-abuja highway and released in minna. Mehn, that is like travelling from benin to cotonou

Never knew it was the mastermind of the some members of the community.
