Considering i was still a fresher, i had cash at hand and i was yet to learn the habit of proper spending. I gave Joe and Abas 1000 naira out of pity, and that was the moment i got taken under their wing. Joe saw to it that i knew who was who on campus, not exactly system men but prominent personalities on campus while Abas pointed out who and who to avoid creating issues with. Despite all this, my naivety was still an underlying issue for me, and it cost me a total of four phones and a laptop to push me to the brink. On a Tuesday morning, i went to the school bursary to iron out a issue concerning my school fees reciept. I met a queue on getting there and had to wait my turn. It was almost my turn when this tall bearded guy burst into the office and cuts the line, going straight to the desk and stating his business with an unnatural confidence. I almost thought that he was a staff there, but his razz dressing made me think otherwise. I must've been staring because as he turned to leave, his eyes caught mine. 17 Likes |

I broke into a cold sweat and he walked up to me, bending slightly to reach my ear. 'Na maf dey follow u talk, if u yarn anyhow, i go Bleep u up. Lap outside make we align'. Message delivered, he calmly strolled through the door and was out of sight. My earlier discomfort had turned to dread, with shaky legs and broken speech, i finished my business and silently contemplated the possibility of staying within the confines of the office for an hour or two. I quickly discarded the idea, figuring that i might as well get this over with and stepped to see the hulking frame of the Maf man leaning against the door frame, a cap on his head and a pair of dark shades making his face appear even more terrifying than before 12 Likes |

'U be fresher?' he asked and i gave a strained 'yes' in reply. In hindsight, this was probably my second mistake, as would come to know that answering such a question was tantamount to handing over the key to your pockets to whoever was askng. He gave me a once over, 'you don pay marching ground?' 7 Likes |

My blood pressure went down significantly on hearing the question. Earlier on, i had heard my senior colleagues yab my coursemates with the same line so i knew what he wanted. Without wasting time, i offered him a crisp looking 1000 naira note, which he pocketed sharply. 'Wia ur phone?' his tone was no longer aggresive, 'dem don collect am' i responded in choppy pidgin english. Seeing my difficulty with pidgin, he switched to plain english and began a game of twenty questions. Department? Did i live alone? Where did i live? He wrote down his number on a piece of paper and handed it over to me. 'Call me if you develop issues with anyone' and with that, he was gone. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The whole experience looked like something out of a movie to me. I looked at the piece of paper again, he had written down an mtn number and a name. Joe. Soon enough, i cleared the whole scenario out of my mind and carried on with my classes for the day. Come 4pm and i was done with classes for the day and went back to my hostel. I went up the first flight of stairs and turned at the second only to come face to face with the same guy... Again. He was coming down the stairs with another fair dreadlock wearing guy of muscular build, on sighting me, he and his companion rushed down to meet me and on catching up, he introduced me to his companion. 13 Likes |

'Meanest, na the b wey i been dey tell u about be dis'. His companion (i would later find out that this was the infamous Lala) gave me a look, the kind an elephant would give an ant which challenged it, before turning back to him, 'him don remit marching ground?' Joe nodded before turning back to address me, 'where ur room dey? No lie give me' sheepishly, i mumbled out my room number to him. He patted me on the head, like a good dog, 'Ciao'. And was gone. I stood on that staircase for a little over a minute wondering if i offended any ancestral deity back home to deserve this. I had seen the look in 'joe's' eyes and for him to introduce me to his fellow member so soon, then it could only mean one thing. As i ascended the staircase to head to my room, a singular thought process echoed through my mind over and over again, 'Shey na school i come? Which kain wahala be dis?' 16 Likes |

I narrated the incident to Joe (my roommate) and Abas, they asked for a name which i provided, Joe told me that he would look into it, but he couldn't guarantee anything as Maf men had made taken habit of using false names whenever they had a quarry in sight. Day transitioned into weeks and from weeks into a month and i hadn't got a whiff of joe nor his cronies and the matter was forgotten. I had been saving up cash to get myself a new phone and at the end of that month i had saved enough to buy a 2nd hand infinix phone. It wasn't the best phone out there, but it was something i got by myself and i vowed to myself to be more careful. On buying the phone, i spent sometime at a friends place till around 7pm before i began to make my way back to school. A few feet away from the school gate, i heard a loud 'hey!' i could guess what was about to happen and attempted to walk faster, but a firm hand got hold of my shirt collar and i felt myself freeze as something cold pressed against my lower spine. 6 Likes |

Before now, i had always had a 1 track mind, but for the first time in my life i was experiencing 2 emotions at once. Fear and anger. Fear at the weapon pressed against my back and anger at the fact that i was about to be robbed... Again. 'Aro, na the bst wey light my sister be dis' at the statement, i felt two hot slaps bring my thoughts back to reality. I kept mute as their hands went into my pocket. 'U and who follow go d movement?!' one of them shouted in my face, his breath stinking of cheap liquor and smoke. I maintained my silence. By now, they were starting to draw attention and with a few hushed words, they boarded a keke and zoomed off, leaving me to stew in my shame and anger. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Some stories self, very annoying and stupid. I also went to university, why didn't you go to Dean of student affairs, HOD or your parents? How can some parents send some kids that are not so smart to go far from home in the name of University? What stops them from going from home. For those reading this guy horrible experience as a fresher, please involve your parents. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

I trudged back to my hostel, phoneless (AGAIN) and cashless. I went to my locker to get my laptop and write my stress away. I was just getting into the art of creative writing back then and it served as an escape for me during stressful moments. My annoyance multiplied as i met my locker already open and my roommates telling me that Sweety had taken my laptop to work that evening. I kept mute and soaked garri for the night, i wasn't yet due to request more cash from my parents until the weekend which was 3 days away. 5 Likes |

Sweety came back a few minutes before the hostel would be locked, and despite my already simmering anger i didn't have the balls to confront him directly, so i went about it indirectly, 'Sweety, all this work wey u dey carry my lappy do, dem no dey pay u?' his mood changed instantly, 'Which kain nonsense question be dat?'. My anger increased, 'Which kain talk be dat? See, if dis hustle no dey pay u, kuku leave my lappy for me. How u go dey carry pesin lappy dey comot. Tell am, u no tell. Oya na pay commision, u no pay. Abeg, just leave my laptop for me, i no follow for that parole'. Our quarrel nearly came to blows until Abas woke up and calmed the matter down. My mind was made up, i was done with people walking over me and by the time everyone's attention was off me, i slipped of with an old, almost forgotten piece of paper in one hand and a borrowed phone in another. It was time to make that phone call. 10 Likes |

MummyIMadeIt: This is exactly why I am against that stupid shït called double promotion. Because a child is academically outstanding, you rush them through school. But you forget about their mental and social development. I have seen a girl who finished high school at age 14, entered university at 16. As she got to university, her divorced parents didnt put an eye on her. At 21 she had dropped out of 2 universities, was a runs girl, a lesbian and avid drug user. Wasn't it here I read of a 17 year old cultist that was killed in Lasu? Please intending parents, build up your child mentally strong while they are in secondary school and before they go to higher institution. There are many bad vices out to get them like cultism, drugs, prostitution and fraud. If your child is not strong enough to say "No" to some certain things while under your watch, they will say "Yes" to many things once they have their freedom. The "No to Cultism" billboard at the entrance of the universities will be like just another Coca Cola advert to them. 30 Likes |

I attended my classes the next day with a plate of sugarless garri as my only sustenance. Once i got to my hostel, i heard someone whistle at me. I turned, it was Joe (the maf one), i walked up to him and we shook hands, he asked for a description and i happily gave him one. He gave me an analyzing look and asked when last i had eaten. I told him, he asked what i ate and i still told him. Shaking his head, he pushed a few two hundred naira notes into my hand (N1400 in all) and told me to make myself scarce and get something to eat. As he began to move into the hostel, 8 other strange faces joined him and that was my first time seeing how organized these people could be when they had someone to hit in mind. These guys had been scattered about, some were watching football in the common room, some buying snacks, some chatting with any girl that gave them the chance. But once the unspoken signal came, they abandoned whatever they were doing and marched, as one, into the hostel. 13 Likes |

I came back later on in the evening to find my room door broken down. There was blood on a few lockers and on my bunk and i was informed that Sweety was getting medical help in the school health centre. I won't say that i was proud of myself at that moment, but i was quite satisfied at the outcome of the whole thing. Once Sweety recovered, he became scarce at the hostel, he'd come around once in a while to get a few things and then he'd be gone for weeks. He kept up this pattern till he stopped coming around altogether. I wouldn't see him again until earlier on this year. Meanwhile, I began hanging around 'Joe' and his cartel men. They would offer me weed and cigarettes which i kept declining until the day they would offer me spirits instead. That, i took wholeheartedly. I took note of the fact that they never used their names whenever i was around, always referring to themselves as 'meanest' 'ci' 'ciao' (they pronounced it 'kawo'), etc It all came to a head the day Joe asked the question i had been expecting 9 Likes |

He said that he couldn't protect me forever and that i would have to learn to fight my own battles, the only way to that, he asserted, was for me to get 'mean'. I accepted, right there and then, i had heard the bitter complaints of intimidation that my coursemates had gone through. Sammy was being terrorized by klansmen, Titus had long evacuated the hostel because of the daily visits that baggers paid him. As i saw it then, it was only a matter of time before i stepped on the wrong toes and be forced to join the list of those intimidated by system men. In essence, if i couldn't beat them, then i had to join them. 8 Likes |
