I Said What I Said

This week, we’re joined by Damilola Feyide, founder and CEO of Let It Shine Academy (LISA), serial entrepreneur and a woman who clearly doesn’t believe in doing things by halves!

What started as a weekend art class has grown into a free boarding school with over 300 students, and trust us, Dammy has STORIES! From allegedly possessed students to the daily Olympics of feeding hundreds of hungry teenagers, we quickly learn that running a boarding school is not for the faint-hearted. Beyond the hilarious stories, we get into the realities of Nigeria’s education system and what it really takes to give hundreds of children a fighting chance at a better future.

We hope you enjoy this inspiring episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha Busha Busha!

This week, we’re joined by the lovely Eni Popoola (popularly known as Enigivensunday) and boy, did we have a TIME! From the buzz of LFW to the full-blown production of attending events, plus the city’s unmatched nightlife, there’s plenty to unpack about life in Lagos.

Eni talks about growing up Nigerian in New York, trading law for a thriving career in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content creation, and mastering the art of keeping a little mystery while living in the public eye. Of course, we couldn't skip your dilemmas! Eni joins us to dish out sound advice—tackling everything from freeloading boyfriends to cheating husbands whose affairs are apparently "spiritual attacks". You guys really have crazy stories!

Enjoy this episode, brought to you by our sponsors at Kuda & Busha!

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly talented singer-songwriter FOLA! We start with some of your dilemmas. From a boyfriend faking drunkenness to avoid paying for a night out, to a wedding guest haunted by her colourful romantic history, we have plenty of opinions to share!

Then we get into all things FOLA. He takes us through his journey into music and the making of his sophomore album, ‘9’. We also talk about some special collaborations, relationships and, of course, cheating. Is our lover boy really as romantic as his music suggests? You’ll have to listen to find out! We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda & Busha Busha Busha!!!

This week, we're joined by Arike Alaso for an episode that takes as many chaotic detours as humanly possible. Before getting into your dilemmas, we dissect why Roblox has the younger generation in an iron-clad chokehold and the existential dread of watching people you used to play outside with become actual, full-blown adults.

Then we dive headfirst into your messy entries: from the sheer audacity of a friend dating an abusive ex-fiancé, to an open marriage currently hanging on by a thread and full FBI-level cyberstalking just to find a dating app match on Instagram because swiping right normally was apparently too simple.

Arike then tells us about building her fabric business, losing her husband, balancing motherhood with ambition and what’s next for Arike Alaso. As always, there are strong opinions, side quests and plenty of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly hilarious and multi-talented Hauwa Lawal for a special 3-hr Agony Aunt episode. Before the dilemmas, we talk about the realities of running a business in Nigeria, Hauwa’s journey into content creation and why we need to be talking about our history a lot more.

Then we get into the crazy entries, from friendship boundaries and telling your friend how you really feel about their parenting, to old flames making very inconvenient reappearances and the age-old problem of sleeping with your best friend and accidentally developing feelings. Safe to say, we had quite a lot to work with.

As always, there are strong opinions, slightly questionable advice and loads of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha Busha Busha!

SHOW NOTES

Jaddy also talks about becoming a mother at a young age, her unique relationship with her daughter and family, and what it took to eventually build a life for herself beyond everything she experienced.

It’s insightful and deep as always, with plenty to unpack about family, dating, motherhood and starting again, alongside the usual ISWIS detours and opinions. We hope you enjoy this episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

This episode features the most detailed City by City Tour recap that you could ever get as the ladies return to Lagos, Nigeria from their globe trotting with riveting tales. Much ado is made about the whiplash of Lagos airport arrivals, the warm welcome of power outage and the joy of faulty plumbing. It is a bittersweet joy ride through long flights, fancy sheets, ghost pepper and the celebration of 9 years of ISWIS excellence that coincided with a record-breaking 7-City International Tour (so far) by your favorite duo.

Enjoy this hilarious episode which is brought to you by the good people of Kuda and Busha.
