Hey guys! This week, we are joined by the freshly retired Isaac from Road to 30 Podcast, and by “retired,” we mean he just wrapped up his 20s!

We talk about navigating your 20s - the chaos, the clarity, the ...

Hey guys! On today’s episode, we have just one question for you. Should you take back a cheating partner? 


We talk about everything from “it was just a mistake” to “once a cheat, always a cheat” and whether love, marriage, or years of history should make forgiveness easier (or harder). Is emotional cheating worse than physical cheating? Can trust ever be rebuilt? And most importa...

So Nigerians!! On today’s episode, we’re talking about micro-cheating. Yeah, that sneaky little sibling of full-blown cheating. Is liking someone’s thirst trap at 1AM just being friendly, or are you emotionally unavailable and unserious?


We’re unpacking the blurry lines: hidden DMs, “work wife/husbands,” and all those situationships that live rent-free in your notifications. Is it harmless fun or lowkey betrayal? We share our th...

Hello guys! On today’s episode, we really didn’t talk about anything specific. Nigeria happened to us in many ways, so the energy to come up with a topic was low, so we really just yapped about everything that’s been happening. We also talked about the Nigerian habit of adjusting or like we say “we move”-ing when there are problems. It’s resilience, but sometimes we need to fight the mediocrity. Anyways, that’s all for now. See you...

Hey guys! On today’s episode, we’re getting real about male friendships, or the lack of them. Why is it so hard for men to open up to each other? Is everyone just vibing on surface level while struggling in silence?

 


We talk about the unspoken loneliness many men carry, why checking in feels awkward, and how the whole “men don’t cry” thing is still messing things up. Whether you’ve got a solid brotherhood or you’re realizin...

So Nigerians! On today’s episode, we discuss something that’s not often talked about but super important—Sexual Purity vs. Celibacy. Are they the same thing? Is celibacy just about not having sex, and does sexual purity go deeper than that? We break it all down, from personal choices to religious beliefs, societal expectations, and the real struggles of maintaining either as a Nigerian youth.
