    How Gambling Addiction Nearly Destroyed Me Ft Idris Abdulkareem

    Watch, Like and Comment on YouTube- https://youtu.be/DVM3J07sPwM?si=6Un_9Dyn2ys8CX1m We’re joined by Idris Abdulkareem, a listener of the podcast, who opens up about his journey as an ex-gambling addict now 6 months clean. With courage and vulnerability, Idris shares how his relationship with gambling started, how it slowly escalated, and how it eventually took over his life. He speaks candidly about losing everything, battling suicidal thoughts, and reaching a breaking point that forced him to confront the reality of his situation. The conversation walks through the darkest moments of addiction, the isolation that comes with it, and the difficult but life-changing decision to quit. More than anything, this episode is about accountability, recovery, and hope. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can spiral, but also how choosing help, honesty, and change can begin a new chapter. This is a powerful, sobering, and necessary conversation — one that may resonate deeply with anyone who has struggled, is struggling, or knows someone who is.

    APC Is Hindering Romance Ft Osasbaby

    Please watch, comment and like - https://youtu.be/x4s5WM92cVw?si=63y3rxPLsqjGYGcl We’re joined by Virtuosi (aka Osasbaby) — host of Is This a Safe Space?, talent manager, influencer, brand strategist, and now freshly launched cheating recovery coach (yes, it happened live 🤣). This marks her second time on the podcast, after her first guest appearance years ago — an episode that remains a listener favourite to this day. We get into how Nigeria limits romance, the unspoken rules around love and dating, and why being romantic here can sometimes feel like a crime. The conversation also dives into cheating, how deeply it affects relationships, why some betrayals permanently change things, and whether you can ever truly come back from it. It’s witty, insightful, and full of laughs.

Although we couldn’t be joined by Isaac this week due to unforeseen circumstances, the vibes were still very much intact. We dive into the hot take that Nigerians — especially Nigerian men — may have completely lost the art of flirting, what flirting used to look like, and how it somehow turned into dry compliments and awkward DMs. Chinasa shares her thoughts, personal experiences, and very honest observations on modern-day flirting. The conversation also takes a playful turn as she talks about how much she loves Abuja, why the city has her heart, and how agberos somehow deliver the most creative, unfiltered compliments you’ll ever hear. From city love to street wisdom, nothing was off-limits. Overall, it’s a light and witty conversation!  Enjoy!  FOLLOW US ON: http://twitter.com/sonigerian_ http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_ http://twitter.com/damiar0s http://instagram.com/_damiiaros7 http://twitter.com/medici__i https://instagram.com/medici.i https://www.instagram.com/chinasa_anukam https://twitter.com/chinasa_anukam Hosted on Acast.

    Impulsive Decisions, Great Stories ft Ajibola Grey

    We’re joined by Ajibola Grey — lawyer, caterer, and social media influencer (yes, all three) — for an engaging conversation that jumps across culture, life choices, and personal growth. We get into the ongoing Wizkid vs Fela conversation, unpack how making impulse decisions has shaped major parts of his life, and dive into his journey of quitting smoking — the discipline, mindset shift, and lessons that came with it. It’s honest, entertaining, and surprisingly reflective — a conversation about choices, growth, and becoming more intentional with life.

From the expectations people carry into “Japa life” to the hard truths behind why some marriages don’t survive the move, this episode goes beyond the glossy version of relocation. Honest, thought-provoking, and necessary, it’s a conversation for anyone considering leaving Nigeria with a partner, or trying to make love and marriage work in a new country.
