    Mary Magdalene

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here.  Today’s episode is called “Mary Magdalene.” And no, not the one from the Bible… but close. This is the story of a woman who almost turned our first date into a full-blown deliverance service.  From asking me whether God knows me, to pulling out a big leather Bible at a restaurant, to making me sit through fasting, Bible study, and a prayer that nearly called down fire on my jollof rice. Mary was unlike anyone I’d ever met. And for a moment, I really thought she might be “the one”… or at least “the one who could make me a pastor by force.”  In this episode, I’ll walk you through the highs, the laughs, the confusion, and that unforgettable mix of romance and revival that left me asking myself once again: Why am I still single?  🎧 Tap in for a story that proves sometimes love feels like scripture, but other times it just feels like homework.  📩 Ever been on a date that turned spiritual real quick?

    I Like My Neighbour

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!  This episode starts with me in bed, dreaming of food because I’m fasting. Only for one loud Lagos bus horn to drag me back to reality. I look out the window, and boom… a moving truck. A new tenant. My dad did mention someone was coming, but I didn’t know it would be her.  Her name is Ada. Pretty. Glasses. Smart. Funny. The kind of neighbour you immediately start planning fake landlord lines for in your head. I went down to say hello, tried to act smooth… and still managed to fumble it. Didn’t even collect her number when she basically gave me a cue. Pain.  Just when I’m replaying the whole thing in my head, Collins calls. If you know Collins, you know the drama: stingy, unserious with women, and always reminding me of the ₦25k I owe him.  This episode is full of Lagos chaos, noisy horns, nosy neighbours, my internal monologues, and me trying (and failing) to act like I have game. It’s just the beginning of a three-part story: I Like My Neighbour, I Love My Neighbour, and maybe… I marry My Neighbour.  So plug in, laugh at my expense, and tell me, what should I do about Ada?

    T-Junction

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another painfully honest episode of Why Am I Still Single?  and this one? This one might just leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m., thinking about the one that got away. Today’s episode is titled “T Junction”,  but it’s not about cars or traffic. It’s about life, choices… and the kind of crossroads that can change everything. In this episode, I take you into the story of a woman who trusted me enough to tell me her truth. A truth that scared me, not because she was wrong for me, but because I wasn’t ready for her world. I froze. I didn’t turn left, I didn’t turn right… I just stood there, and the road closed behind me. You’ll feel the tension, the guilt, the “what if” that still haunts me today. And maybe… you’ll see your own T junctions in the story. 🎧 Tap in to hear how I walked away from something real, not because it wasn’t love, but because I wasn’t the man she needed me to be. 📩 Got a story about a T-junction moment in your life? Please send it to edgar@checkedgar.com. I might just read it on the show! 🔊 Music and sound design by Issac Runsewe. 🎨 Podcast cover by Oritsemisan Enemigin. 🎙️ Podcast created by Edgar Eriakha.

    FriendZone

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!  Welcome to another painfully hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single?  and this one? This one will leave your heart in your mouth and your pride in the gutter.  Today’s episode is titled “Friendzone” but not just any kind of friendzone. I’m talking about the kind where she cries on your chest… and then calls you her big brother. 😭  In this episode, I take you deep into the trenches of emotional warfare where the crush of my life cried in my arms after a breakup… and I thought heaven had finally answered my prayers. But instead? I found myself in the worst battlefield of all: the friendzone. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll clutch your chest and scream, “God abeg!”  🎧 Tap in to hear how I fumbled my shot, got promoted to sibling status, and learned the hard way that just because she’s crying on your shoulder… doesn’t mean you’re the chosen one.  📩 Got a painful friendzone story?

    Fork And Knife

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!  Welcome to another painfully hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single? and this one? This one will make you side-eye every fork and knife in your kitchen drawer.  Today’s episode is titled “Fork & Knife”, and it’s not just about cutlery. It’s about shame, class, and how turkey wings ruined my love life.  In this episode, I walk you through the most awkward date I’ve ever had with a fine babe introduced to me by her brother, Demeji. It started with a Black native and big vibes… but ended with her judging my upbringing because I used my hand to eat turkey.  You’ll laugh. You’ll sigh. You’ll scream, “Just use the fork, Edgar!”  🎧 Tap in to hear how being “a celebrity” means I can’t lick soup, can’t crack bone, and apparently, can’t finish my food in peace.  📩 Ever lost a date because of food etiquette?

    Lila the LION

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another mind-bending episode of Why Am I Still Single? and today, we’re entering the wild, deceptive world of Liars. This episode is titled "Lila the LION", and trust me, the name fits. I’m breaking down the four types of liars you’ll meet in the dating jungle: The White Lie (they lie for peace), The Black Lie (they lie for gain), The Linus (they lie out of fear) And the Lions (they lie to dominate and impress).  And today’s Lion? An old friend I reconnected with on Instagram, who told me she was an Adeleke, Davido’s cousin, BurnaBoy’s little sister, and one of the richest girls in Lagos. You already know this is about to be wild. Tune in to find out how it all played out. 📩 Got a long-distance dating disaster?
