This week on So Nigerian, we sit down with the one and only Check Edgar, host of the Why Am I Still Single podcast, a man who has somehow made navigating Lagos dating chaos both hilarious and painfully relatable. Together, we unpack the madness that is bachelor life in Lagos: the blessings, the curses, and the pure premium gbas gbos that come with it.


From ideal (but realistic!) Lagos dates, awkward run-ins with people you’ve ghosted, and the art of spotting the friendzone before it embarrasses you. Edgar also shares some of his funniest stories, unfiltered takes, and why he thinks so many people are struggling to find love in this city.


We also revisit one of our most talked-about topics: “Is cheating ever a mistake?”, and Edgar definitely did not hold back.


If you love gist, dating wahala, sharp insights, and premium laughter, this is one episode you don’t want to miss. Tune in!

There's a particular, vibrant energy to navigating life as a young person in Nigeria, a mix of ambition, humor, and daily reality that So Nigerian captures perfectly. Created by Eggcorn Digital and hosted by Dami Aros and Isaac, this podcast feels less like a formal show and more like pulling up a chair to the best gist session you’ve had all week. The conversations are a direct, unfiltered dive into the things that actually fill group chats and shape perspectives: the complexities of modern relationships, the relentless chase of the 'Japa' dream, the whirlwind of social media trends, and all the small, significant pop culture moments that spark debate. Dami and Isaac don't just report on these topics; they live them, sharing personal stories and hot takes that are both deeply relatable and boldly insightful. It’s that rare blend of social commentary and comedy that never shies away from the real struggles or the genuine wins, all delivered with the authenticity of a conversation with close friends. Tuning into this podcast means hearing your own experiences reflected back at you, with all the laughter, frustration, and sharp observation that defines a generation. You’ll find yourself nodding along, arguing out loud, and feeling that specific sense of community that comes from a shared cultural language. For anyone curious about the contemporary Nigerian youth experience or simply in search of brilliantly engaging talk, So Nigerian is an essential listen.
