On this week’s episode, I sat down with CheckedEdgar, and let’s just say… I was shocked to learn that he went on 72 dates in 52 weeks. And somehow, he’s still single.


We talked about everything, the good dates, the chaotic ones, and even the time a woman screamed that he stole her phone on their first date. We also got into what it really means to be single and searching in Lagos.


CheckedEdgar was honest about what men think about love, commitment, and vulnerability. If you’ve ever dated in Lagos, argued about “what are we?”, or wondered whether it’s you or the city… this one is for you.

One thing that got more complicated as we grew up is definitely the concept of friendship. Friendship evolved from being a relationship between playful kids to being a sacred, sweet, and exciting relationship that requires lots of commitment.

The process of making friends has also not been exempted from this change. It got more complicated.

Life has so much to offer us, but sometimes, we fail to see this because we are stuck in boring routines, especially when we have a stable, organized life at work and in our personal lives. This often feels like we are cut in a repetitive cycle.

Discussions on feminism and feminist ideologies are not often embraced in Nigerian society. Many people do not want to be identified as feminists because of the name-calling that often comes with owning the title. Why then do we need to identify as feminists in a society where feminist shaming is being normalized?


In today's episode, I and my guest Busayo discuss our journey as feminists. We started by defining what feminism means to us and discussed some controversial issues surrounding its ideologies. Here is the link to the piece I wrote on feminism; Do have a great read 😊 - https://b-buildperfect.medium.com/are-nigerian-twitter-feminists-really-bitter-5ade5dbda2e9

Last year, there was a surge in the number of people who spoke out on the challenges they face living in a foreign land. Some spoke about their loneliness, and others expressed their confusion about dealing with cultural shocks. One thing evident from the outcry was that they were hit with a reality different from what they had envisioned.


In this episode, we discuss the reality of living in the diaspora, the advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and everything. Also, we analyze the effects of living in the diaspora on our relationships and how we can manage the possible loneliness that comes with it.

Some spoke about their loneliness, and others expressed their confusion about dealing with cultural shocks. One thing evident from the outcry was that they were hit with a reality different from what they had envisioned.


In this episode, we discuss the reality of living in the diaspora, the advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and everything. Also, we analyze the effects of living in the diaspora on our relationships and how we can manage the possible loneliness that comes with it.
