The Ilorin Shock Episode 25

Episode Twenty-Five: The Day the Books Spoke It didn’t happen loudly. There was no drumroll. No warning. Just an ordinary school day that turned into something I would never forget. We had a test one of those sudden tests teachers liked to spring on us to catch unserious students off guard. No long announcement. No extra revision time. Just a date written on the board and silence in...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 24

Episode Twenty-Four: No Time to Waste After Mr Layi left, his voice didn’t. It stayed with me. Every morning, even before anyone called my name, my body already knew what to do. I woke up early sometimes before the first shout echoed through the house. Ablution. Prayer. Silence. Focus. Mr Layi had taught us without lectures. He taught us by example. We went to school daily, even when...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 23

Episode Twenty-Three: The Man Everyone Feared Life in our new teacher’s house continued, and slowly, faces began to matter. One of those faces was Mr Layi. He wasn’t just another senior in the house he was the senior. Everyone knew him. Everyone respected him. And even though he was kind, the fear of him sat heavy in the air. Mr Layi had a mentor-like presence. He didn’t...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 22

Episode Twenty-Two: Respect Without a Title After the decision was made, the class did not return to normal immediately. Something lingered in the air. When the teacher said I couldn’t be class captain, some students exchanged looks. A few turned back to face the board quietly. Others stared at me for a moment longer than usual, as if they were trying to understand what had just...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 21

Episode Twenty-One: Chosen, Then Stopped Life upstairs with Iya Okeami had become routine. Me, my brother, my friend Olanshile, and the others ate from her kitchen. We were many, but we moved as one waking early, praying, rushing for school, returning tired. Some days were smooth, some days heavy, but at least there was order. Occasionally, school brought small surprises. Sometimes the...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 20

Episode Twenty: Under Iya Oke Ami While school was finally becoming smooth, life inside our new teacher’s house was another world on its own. Mallam Babulhameen had three wives at the time I arrived. Each of them had her own space, her own rhythm, her own way of running things. From the first day, it was decided that me and my brother would be eating from one wife’s kitchen. She...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 19

Episode Nineteen: Borrowed Prestige Life finally found a rhythm. In our new teacher’s house, mornings began before the sun fully woke up. By 5 a.m., we were already on our feet. Cold water for ablution, sleepy eyes, quiet yawns. We lined up to pray, verses rising slowly into the dawn. From prayer to recitation, from recitation to silence our mornings were long and disciplined. By the...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 18

Episode Eighteen: When Respect Changed Sides Things changed the moment I returned to school. Not loudly. Not with announcements. But in the way people looked at me. Before, I was just that boy the one connected to a teacher’s wife. Quiet. Manageable. Easy to push aside. Some teachers spoke to me anyhow. Some students barely noticed me. But now, the story was different. This time,...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 17

Episode Seventeen: The Day I Was Rejected and Accepted Again There was one place I thought would never turn its back on me. My school. Back when we were still with our former teacher, his wife worked in the school I attended. Because of that, I didn’t pay school fees. Everybody knew me there. The classrooms, the teachers, even the sound of the bell felt familiar. That school felt like...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 16

Episode Sixteen: When the Past Walked Past Us Even after we entered a new house, the past refused to disappear. Mallam Babulhameen’s house brought peace, structure, and learning. The days were different now calmer mornings, clear rules, and a kind of discipline that didn’t come with fear. Slowly, our bodies relaxed, but our memories did not. Because every morning, the past walked...

The Ilorin Shock EPISODE 15

Episode Fifteen: Same Road, New Light When Ramadan had only a few days left, they took us to the park. That alone felt like a miracle. We were told we were going to spend the holidays with our family. Hearing that felt like weight lifting off my chest. For the first time in a long while, my mind rested. We travelled and reunited with our people, and those weeks felt like healing. For three...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 14

Episode Fourteen: Almost Home My brother finally finished the holy book. It happened during Ramadan right in the middle of fasting days, when strength was already thin and patience was already stretched. Yet, somehow, he did it. The last page was read. The last verse was completed. For a moment, it felt unreal. We were still waking up early every day for sahur, eating before dawn with...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 13

Episode Thirteen: Waiting Through Ramadan When the fight finally calmed down, life did not return to normal immediately. It only slowed. Fear still lived in the air, but survival demanded that we continue. The streets opened little by little, people returned cautiously to their routines, and we too returned to ours quietly, carefully. For us, the journey was not over yet. The focus...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 12

Episode Twelve: When Fear Took Over That night, we were finally home but home no longer felt safe. The fight didn’t reduce. It grew. What had started as shouting and chaos turned into something far more dangerous. Word spread quickly through the area: area boys had shot a soldier in the leg. The injured soldier was carried away, and for a short moment, there was silence. But that...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 11

Episode Eleven: The Day Ilorin Shook We endured the hunger. We endured the rules. We endured the quiet suffering. Life in Ilorin had taught us how to manage pain silently. Days were hard, but at least they were predictable until one day, everything changed. That morning started like any other. We woke up. We prepared for school. We carried our hunger with us like usual. Nothing warned...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 10

Episode Ten: Hunger Lessons There were other pains too. Not the kind that left marks on the body but the kind that stayed in the stomach, in the heart, and in the mind. Every day followed the same pattern. We ate. We went to school. And we were given ₦20 for upkeep. Just ₦20. Even as a child, I knew what money meant. I knew how much ₦20 could do in Oyo State and how little it could do...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 9

Episode Nine: Unequal Strokes By this time, pain had become familiar. Not normal but familiar. One evening, me and the second-to-last born were sent to fetch water from the tap inside the compound. The water was meant to fill a big blue drum, the kind that swallowed effort and returned exhaustion. The problem was simple. I was still small. Carrying a full big paint rubber of water was not...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 8

Episode Eight: The Hard Days These were the hard days. The days when laughter disappeared completely and survival became the only goal. Living there was like walking on broken glass you tried your best not to step wrong, but somehow, pain still found you. Whenever anything happened between us and our teacher’s children, there was no investigation. No listening. No balance. Judgment...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 7

Episode Seven: Silence After Sunset Finishing the holy book did not bring rest. Instead, it brought a new set of rules. In that house, night was not for play. Night was not for noise. Night was not even for laughter. Once the sun began to drop, everyone adjusted automatically like the compound itself understood the law. We ate our night food early, between 6 and 7 pm. Sometimes the food was...

The Ilorin Shock Episode 6

Episode Six: The Promise As days turned into weeks, Ilorin slowly stopped feeling like a shock and started feeling like a test. Me and my brother were still adjusting, still learning, still counting days. Home was far, but it never left our minds. Every night, we talked about Oyo State like it was a storybook place familiar streets, familiar voices, familiar peace. One evening, we found a...
