Mayowa Adewumi, the recently evicted BBNaija season nine housemate fondly called Mayor Frosh, says he dropped out of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) because of threats from cultists.
In a recent interview with Hero Daniels, Mayor Frosh said his parents opted for a private institution after cultists harassed him during his first year at UNILAG.
The reality star said his attackers took away all his belongings while attempting to coerce him to join cultism.
I am a graduate of Caleb University. I have a BSc in mass communication. I was actually at UNILAG at the time. But in my first year, I had some incidents that involved some cultists. Then, it was that kind of 2016, 2017. It was still a big thing then in some schools. I was approached. My belongings were taken away from me including my phone. It was a way of trying to get me to join, he said.
I got home and told my parents. They had to take me to a private university – Caleb University in Lagos.
Mayor Frosh said while at Caleb University, they were not allowed to use smartphones — a development that affected the growth of his content creation.
The reality star said he became “frustrated and depressed until I graduated in 2020.
I have been in the art of content creation for close to nine years now. I started in 2015. But that happened in my journey in life and it suppressed the growth or the pedestal that I was going,” he said.
Because I had to keep a lot of low profile for two years. So, going to a private school, had no phone, and had to keep my identity. I have started content creation as of then. For those years, I felt like the world was moving and I was not.
I was trying hard and getting frustrated, getting depressed. I did not have the resources to shoot the content I had in my head. Until I graduated in 2020 and focused on it full-time.”
