I’m A Confraternity Man, I’m In Supremo Eiye Confraternity, I’m Already Outside Since 2000-Suspect

A Lagos resident, Adelagunju Ridwan, who has spent years sleeping on the streets amid worsening housing challenges in the state, has spoken about the growing number of people forced to sleep in bus terminals and open public spaces across the city.

Speaking during an interview on News Central TV, on Sunday, 21 June, 2026 and Adelagunju Ridwan discussed the deepening housing crisis in Lagos and how it is reshaping survival patterns among low-income residents, particularly informal workers who cannot afford rising rents or secure shelter.

During the conversation, he made reference to his background and the realities on the streets, saying: “I’m a confraternity man. I’m in Supremo Eiye Confraternity. I’m already outside since year 2000. All those people you see there push wheelbarrow and carry load on their head. They need somewhere to sleep at night.” His comments highlighted both his long-term experience with street life and the conditions faced by daily wage earners who rely on physical labour for survival.

His remarks, which referenced the Eiye Confraternity and the Supremo Eiye Confraternity, have drawn attention due to the intersection of street survival narratives and affiliations mentioned during the interview.
