Nigerian students have relived their experiences during their stay in Ekosodin village while studying at the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

Graduates and undergraduates of the institution on Twitter, including residents of the area have described it as one of the most notorious areas in UNIBEN.

Ekosodin youths have been said to have launched several attacks on students of the school, making the area most feared by students.

See some of their views as shared on Twitter:

One guy obtained me in Ekosodin and told me to call him when I had bail money for my phone. I asked him for a phone number and he said "call, 0703510000"

told the chairman that the digits were 10 instead of 11

he told me to add an extra "0" to it

Stupid place.

One time my friends and I were robbed on our way home in Ekosodin. They stole the food we bought, our phones & cash.

Then they lined us up, slapped our heads one by one for using small phones and said “poor boys, hungry boys, look at the kpalasa you are using, oya run away!” pic.twitter.com/oukLmaLEHH

There was a particular way you had to walk in ekosodin.

Zero pride-No slanting-I know Christ kind of walk.

The fear everytime. Uniben needs to do something about that place

Honestly, people just think Ekosodin stories are just bants. @gap_teeth suffered the most tbh. I felt sorry for him and the death of Afro was the height of it all.

Someone who came for my birthday party on Sunday & was killed on Wednesday and they said it was mistaken identity
