This episode is brought to you by REWRD. www.getrewrd.com SEND US YOUR DILEMMAS: sonigerian.com/Dilemma Are Nigerians actually loyal to brands, or are we just loyal to whoever gives us the best deal? From switching supermarkets because of a discount to choosing one food spot over another because of great customer service, the way we spend our money says a lot about what we value. In this episode of So Nigerian Podcast, we sit down with Amaka, Product Manager at Rewrd, to unpack how Nigerians shop, what keeps us coming back to certain businesses, and why customer loyalty is changing. Together, we explore why traditional loyalty programmers often miss the mark, the role of technology in improving customer experiences, and how businesses can build lasting relationships beyond just offering discounts.

Betty shares how her mum fell ill for three months before passing away just days before the New Year, the emotional weight of those final months, and what it has been like learning to live with her absence. Together, we talk about the unexpected ways grief shows up, the things people say that help (and the ones that don’t), and why Nigerians often don’t give people enough room to grieve before expecting them to “move on.” This is a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, healing, and the reminder that grief doesn’t have a timeline.

We are Back!! So Nigerian Podcast returns with a brand new season and we’re kicking things off with a conversation unlike any we’ve had before. Loan apps have become a lifeline for many Nigerians, but they’ve also gained a reputation for relentless calls, public shaming, and aggressive debt recovery tactics. We’ve all heard the stories from borrowers, but what does it look like from the other side? In this episode, we sit down with Ibukun, a former loan app collector, to uncover what really happens behind the scenes. From how collectors are recruited and trained to the pressure of meeting recovery targets, Ibukun shares an honest look at the realities of the job, the controversial tactics used to recover debts, and the ethical questions that came with it.

As the season comes to a close, Dami and Isaac take a step back to look at everything that made it what it was — the moments, the madness, and the episodes that really stood out. From their personal favourite conversations to the ones that sparked the most reactions, they revisit the highlights of the season and share why certain episodes hit a little deeper than others. It’s honest, nostalgic, and filled with the kind of behind-the-scenes reflections you don’t always get to hear. They also give a glimpse into what’s next for the podcast — what they’re hoping to do differently, what listeners can expect next season, and how they plan to level up. If you’ve been listening all season, this one feels like a well-earned debrief. And if you’re just catching up, consider this your guide to what you might have missed. Enjoy the episode!

We’re joined by Steve Chuks — actor, host, and content creator — for a conversation centered on insecurities among men and how they show up in everyday life. We unpack the pressures men face when it comes to appearance, success, and expectations, and the things they feel the need to compromise or hide in order to fit into society’s idea of what a man should be. From physical attributes to financial status, nothing was off-limits. We also touch on the “anyhowness” of Nigerians — how certain attitudes and behaviours can sometimes reinforce these insecurities, both online and in real life.

On this special Christmas episode of So Nigerian, we’re celebrating our 150th episode the only way we know how - with good vibes, unboxing some amazing goodies, and a lot of unseriousness. With the year winding down, we decided to let loose, reflect, and celebrate how far we’ve come, and in the process, you get to see a much crazier, more unfiltered side of Dami and Isaac. From laughter-filled moments to spontaneous energy, this episode is less about structure and more about celebration, gratitude, and holiday cheer. If you’re in the Christmas spirit and want something light, fun, and very on-brand So Nigerian, this one is for you. Tune in, relax, and celebrate 150 episodes with us. 🎁✨ FOLLOW US ON: http://twitter.com/sonigerian_ http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_ http://twitter.com/damiar0s http://instagram.com/_damiiaros7 http://twitter.com/medici__i…

From commanding crowds on stage to holding her own behind the mic, Melody opens up about the journey that shaped her confidence, her voice, and her brand. We talk about how she found her calling in hosting and hyping, the realities people don’t see behind the energy, and the misconceptions that often follow women in entertainment. Melody shares moments where being a woman worked in her favour, times when it didn’t, and how she learned to set boundaries, earn respect, and stay unapologetically herself in spaces that don’t always make room for women. This episode is a candid exploration of confidence, resilience, and self-belief, packed with…

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’re active on TikTok, Instagram, or X, you’ve probably come across his clean aesthetics, travel content and hilarious videos. Here, we talk about what it really feels like when virality hits, how sudden attention can shape a creator’s journey, and the pressure that comes with becoming “the internet’s new favourite.” Tobe shares the story behind his first big moment, how he navigates the expectations to constantly top his previous work, and the realities of dealing with scrutiny in an online space where everyone has an opinion. We also explore the business side of content creation - the decisions, the opportunities, and the challenges that come with turning numbers into a career. Through it all, Tobe reflects on the importance of staying grounded and staying true to your voice even as the noise gets…

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? When is it normal, and when is it a red flag? Is it “cute” or is it a sign that something deeper is off? 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. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe learn a thing or two about keeping your peace (and your relationship). Google forms:…

We talk about what it really takes to run a creative agency in Nigeria, the realities of leading a team, handling clients, scaling ideas, and staying relevant in a constantly shifting digital ecosystem. Then we dive into the podcast world, how Eggcorn built and manages some of the biggest shows, the business behind the scenes, and what the future of podcasting in Nigeria could look like. It’s a conversation packed with gems for creatives, storytellers, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying to build something meaningful in this chaotic but beautiful country. Trust us, you’ll love this one.

Watch here - https://youtu.be/JEFQXd4Hr8E 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 importantly - are you a clown or a lover for giving them another chance? If you’ve ever been in this position, judged someone who stayed, or are currently debating texting them back… this one’s for you.
