Dear So Nigerians, as we go on our very much needed break to relax from everything 2025 has thrown at us, we bring you a very special episode, leaving you in the hands of the greatest, the legend himself, M.I Abaga. 


This is one for the books, we go beyond the music and talk about everything from relationships and marriage to adulthood, money, and what it really takes to survive as a creative in Nigeria. We also dive into his work with Tasck, his journey through the pre-streaming era, and how he’s helping the next generation of creators thrive.


It’s part gist, part masterclass, and 100% legendary. Plug in, enjoy, and we’ll see you after the break!

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.
