I Said What I Said

This week’s episode takes us on a journey — no, really, we’re joined by Christina and Omolara, who are a bus driver & conductor duo in the city of Lagos. These up-and-doing ladies have done everything from fashion design and trading to selling bush meat, and are now in the transportation business. They take us through what it’s like plying Lagos roads as women, the passengers, heavy taxes and circumstances they have to deal with on a daily basis, while also being mothers and breadwinners for their families. We also discuss the horrendous situation affecting women in Ozoro currently and the worsening safety conditions women have to deal with in Nigeria. Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast!

This week’s episode is what the kids like to call a “deep cut”. It’s 3 hours with the one and only Mimi Abudu (yes, the same Abudu you know). We dive into the conversation of being whimsical just for the plot, gems on building real confidence and trust in yourself/your gut. She also talks about knowing when it’s time to pivot, what to avoid when making big life changes, and how to be a successful rebel as you create the life you truly want. We also get into some deeply unserious and quite serious dilemmas about a financially cursed husband and an infidelity-cursed husband — there’s a pattern, it seems.

This week, we’re joined by Dami a.k.a Celebrity Waitress & Eunice a.k.a Demure Waitress, who are nightlife/club waitresses in Nigeria! They take us behind the scenes of what it’s like to work at a popular Lagos club, and everything you didn’t expect while working a 9-5 (we mean 9pm to 5am). From getting huge tips in foreign currency to getting slapped by club-goers 😭. We got the inside scoop on working in the service industry and people’s perceptions of women working in Nightlife, especially in Lagos. We also helped out with some deeply unserious dilemmas concerning morning or nighttime sex (pick your fighter), feeling irritated that your partner got scammed out of 3 million and feeling left out of a friendship even though you communicate consistently.

This week’s episode is what we like to call a meandering banger. We can’t explain how we started the conversation from the idolization of religious leaders and ended up at sexual grief (you’ll get it when you listen). We also talked about our thoughts from the last episode and some of your opinions on our lovely co-wives. Most importantly, we spoke about what we’d do if we won the lottery, because who doesn’t love a bit of delusion? We’re also pleased to say we had not 1 or 2, but 3 unsafe spaces in this episode (it’s back, baby!), and you just have to listen to find out what they are.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Real Co-wives of Lagos City! Our first guests of the season are co-wives, married to the same husband and living in the same household. What happens when your husband brings you a (pregnant) co-wife? We get into what it’s really like in a polygamous household and how it even began in the first place. We also learn how our co-wives manage tensions, children, sharing one man, and their personal relationship dynamics. We start off the episode with some really juicy dilemmas about marriage, but only under the conditions of relocation, dating as a plus-size woman and deciding to get married (or not) if you’re really broke.
