    Is Love in Lagos Impossible? ft CheckedEdgar

    Yes! We now have a community, and the first 20 people to join will get something special. Let’s get the conversation going, here’s the link to join: https://chat.whatsapp.com/K0FU2tNWdTu4Am9lYv50CU On this week’s episode, I sat down with CheckedEdgar, and let’s just say… I was shocked to learn that he went on 72 dates in 52 weeks. And somehow, he’s still single. We talked about everything, the good dates, the chaotic ones, and even the time a woman screamed that he stole her phone on their first date. We also got into what it really means to be single and searching in Lagos. CheckedEdgar was honest about what men think about love, commitment, and vulnerability. If you’ve ever dated in Lagos, argued about “what are we?”, or wondered whether it’s you or the city… this one is for you. Enjoy the episode! Hosted on Acast.
