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!

On today’s episode, we’re diving into one of those relationship topics everybody has experienced but nobody likes to admit - jealousy and insecurity. Why do we get jealous?

We break down the thin line between love, fear, and control, and why insecurity shows up even in the healthiest relationships.We talk triggers, trust issues, social media wahala, emotional maturity, and all the little things that make jealousy spiral into something bigger. And of course, we also get into how to communicate better so your relationship doesn’t turn into a battleground.If you’ve ever caught yourself overthinking, snooping, or fighting imaginary battles in your head, this one is for you.
