Hello guys! On today’s episode, we are joined by photographer, fitness enthusiast and content creator - Fayokunmi, to discuss the fitness culture in Nigeria, as well as some solid nutrition tips. This one is for the gym buddies and aspiring ones too. Our guest shares her journey, struggles, and hilarious encounters trying to stay fit in Naija.


We talk about body goals vs. body reality, how diet culture affects young Nigerians, and whether fitness is becoming more accessible or still too expensive. If you’ve ever said “I’ll start gym next week” and that week never came, this episode is for you.

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.
