Me, my family, my church, my group, my village, gej till 2019

I stayed in Ekosodin for 4 years. (2008-2012). I didn't have any bad experience. Maybe it was because I stayed in a notorious -jaga jaga- hostel called american embassy. In those days, if you're in a viewing centre, you mind who you engage in an argument. I one guy stopped me one day in front of Amega hostel, I just said "bros, I be your boy o, na american embassy I dey stay" and that was enough to let me go.

All these things happen in Ekosodin yet there are people who have never experienced such. I want to rent a place in Ekosodin next year and I'm no scared of anyone.
Please I need someone to help me secure a place close to the school gate.

Lmao! my case a while back! I entered ekosodin looking and feeling staunch, my chained wrist watch, all star wear, my M.I haircut with basket mouth ish twists on it, coupled with my light skin.. In fact I was looking eye catching, even my frnds I walking with said I was drawing attention to dem, that I was supposed to blend in
Oga, I stayed till to 7, as I was going back to d sch hostel, na two strong men approach me and ma paddies o, say make I buy dem I crate of gulder, luckily I wasn't with my wallet, I was also holding my rickety torchlight phone, so dem no bother ask of my phone, my BB kpatakpata dy hostel dy charge
As e b say I get sweet mouth small, I put am to good use.. Omo! E no work o, dem co-ordinate me and maguys enta corner, empty their pockets of its valuables and all. As e b say I no get valuable, dem say make I pull my watch and all star o.. Trek bare footed back to d hostel.. See wahala! I was already sweating profusely and thanking God I was free to go when one of them spoke my language.. U knw hw it is nw.. Dy gave us our belonging, advised us on how to blend in and not to be out late in ekosodin and even escorted us past Barrack Obama hostel where swarm of badt guys camp for outside.. I come begin thank God say ds guys block us o
If say dem no block us, how we for take front of barrack obama hostel without being called and schooled
In fact, I swore to limit my entry into ekosodin as much as I can.. I told myself that any adventure there that can be avoided must be avoided

So there u go, that's my ordeal! Thank u!

lol. . . Barack Obama resort. Had friends there before most moved out

You can't compare cultist with regular people. Most of my friends are Bini, and they are some of the most industrious guys you will meet.

who is talking about cultists here...





Most benin boys and men are damn too lazy...






Thats all!

It was really painful.....knew him sime were kids.....he was my classmate in primary school.may his soul r.i.p

Another cultist! Na dem dem.

Its only a thief that knows a thief... So how are you my brother?

Ekosodin!!!

The mention of that word fills me with nostalgia. I lived there from 1998 up till 2003, and I loved every minute of it. Hopped around different hostels including Modupe hall and Modupe annex before moving to a newly built hostel just after Ekosodin primary school. In my opinion, the cultists leave you alone as long as you don't knowingly or unknowingly interfere with their business. It also helps if you have a Godfather as a friend whose name is worth its weight in gold.

Sadly, the guy I once shared a room with in Ekosodin ed away a few years back.

R.I.P Don P, may your days be rough.

Kappa green was the only hostel that didn't get robbed all through my stay in Uniben from 2005 - 2010.

The hostel was not robbed because they have some strong me there.From 2004 to 2008 there were not much robbery incident,It was only dat short Ninja guy nd his tall accomplice that were operating.Maybe there was robbery 2009 upwards.
Uniben is not a bad school as some will look at It,inside the campus is one of the safest in the country. The school hostels and BDPA are safe.

Have we forgotten Ninja man that terrorized our lives? Twas very scary, i must confess. I still shed tears over a friend who was beaten to death cus he refused to be initiated. So painful!

DaLexyAnn:
Dear Lord.
I'm still awake at this time.
Blame the siesta I had and give me sleep!


I was a student of Uniben
Stayed at EFCC hostel in Ekosodin

A gory incident happened at St Paul very close to colon towers.

I won't reveal much jarey.
Security conscious.

Ekosodin, after 2004 wasn't so bad, does anyone Omo-B?

And NijjahMan, the robber myth, who shoots people on the Nyansh for failure to comply?

I miss the roasted fish and really cheap foodstuffs, compared to Lag.

I miss the bikes and the way those bikemen holla at me to board their bike.

Lolz.

That was a phase though.
A lot's changed now.

aha!!
Someone finally mentions the dreaded colon [now rechristened St. Mary's]
gory incidents still happen in and around there.

Superbrain:
Hahaha...I can totally relate

Lived in Ekosodin for the six (6) years I schooled in UNIBEN. The experiences are countless.

1. Frog jumping for about 500m because I was "roaming" for chairman dem area near Hostel 37 (100 Level)

2. Broad daylight shooting by 2pm during my registration. I throway my folder run enter Lagos. Popsy no gree hear, sent me back. (100 Level)

3. Robbery on Ekhorotunwen (I hope I got it right) just before Newton's Villa. My new Sagem X7 was collected after I received two resounding slaps (100 Level)

4. Personal Encounter with "Black Ninja"- Those who know, know...Na God save me that day

5. Robbery on the road that leads to Colon Towers, just after Twins junction. The mark of the hand axe is still on my head

6. Unfortunately indicted for housing a friend that was trying to escape from cultism. God himself saved me that day because I left my place 5 mins before they stormed and took away my TV and VCD

7. Kneeling down for 1hr in Colon Towers, because one small boy no hear my "Good Morning"

By 300 LEVEL, I knew who was who. Africa, Bazu... WHo know, still know

8. Challenged an oppressor and was slapped. I saw the guy later in Engr. wearing blue lab coat (meaning he was in 200 level). I control my men wey dey my 400 Level class, and he was humbled.

9. Settled numerous issues from Mummy is Good to United Villa to Prince Villa. I was the acclaimed Pastor wey no dey hear word.

10. Final year in Ekosodin was fun. If someone's phone was stolen, I knew who to call. If any of my friends had any issues, I knew who to tell. Helped many young guys escape the popular "open office for your head" which meant buying beer or cigar.

In retrospect, these cult guys are just young and fearful guys trying to prove themselves to the world. They are the most lily-livered folks I have met. When they are being looked for, they would run to Pastor, asking me to pray for them.

It might not have been the best of experiences, but Ekosodin was a true reflection of the world we live in. I went, I saw, and I conquered.

BTW, all those guys of those years are married with beautiful kids, some of them burning for God. Glad we never gave up on them.

from ubits to 400l electrical and 500l civil, blue lab coat is what is worn. so how did you know he wasn't in final year doing ELA 201

blakky97:
one night I was going ro read. carried laptop. I heard two slaps in the dark directly at my front. I no even check who and who dey slap each other. I just turn back waka fast go my hostel.

lmao, why u no check na?

Uma stories funny and dey scary. Uniben been dey d schools i first apply o. But my wyes opened ontime to quickly change.

There was this woman on my street then, she had 4 children. Her two elsest children (boys) went to uniben and was killed in a hostel raid. They killed everynody in the room. Till today the woman never got her normal self back.

I remain Loyal sir --- ahhh, na me loyal

hahahahaha!
baba you too?
I pray make i no loyal oh!

First of all,I'd attribute it to God's mercy and favour cos anything could have happened. I suspect He must have thought maybe I was a cultist too and also armed cos I see no reason why He would be looking back as He walked away. I think that's one of the few occassions my red eyes and tall height has worked for me. I think the campus was hot at that time cos my friends later gave me some scary tales while we were hanging out. I think cultists derive their powers from walking in a group.

Kirinwa:


That's what I was talking about. The cultist is a coward that's why he was looking over his back and yyou looked at him fearlessly, fear catch am. He ran away. If he's a strong man, let him keep the gun.

Kirinwa:



See one of the darmed cultists. Op come and return back the slaps to this mofo.

Cultism is for children. Since they are carrying guns, let soldiers storm there n finish them off.

*spits

bros no vex oh u sure u complete ur injection for uselu b4 u comot??

IKJ66:
