Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Real Co-wives of Lagos City! Our first guests of the season are co-wives, married to the same husband and living in the same household. What happens when your husband brings you a (pregnant) co-wife? We get into what it’s really like in a polygamous household and how it even began in the first place. We also learn how our co-wives manage tensions, children, sharing one man, and their personal relationship dynamics. We start off the episode with some really juicy dilemmas about marriage, but only under the conditions of relocation, dating as a plus-size woman and deciding to get married (or not) if you’re really broke. Enjoy!

You know what rhymes with 2026? ISWIS! We’re back with a bang for season 8! In the first episode of the year, we discuss whether New Year's resolutions are in or out, and somehow we end up complaining about the Nigerian experience (as usual). We talk about our super fun holidays and the need to add more whimsy and enjoyment in life — maybe that’s our actual New Year's resolution. We also discuss the need to reduce pleasantries or niceties and actually chat with people to find out how they’re really doing. And of course, the 2026 dilemmas are really juicy! When will you guys actually change? We get into dating siblings, using someone to secure a visa, feeling jealous towards someone else’s success and the possibility of your parent cheating on their spouse! We’re really looking forward to doing 2026 with you, and we have so much planned, so enjoy!

Ladies & Gents, welcome to our last episode of season 7. We’ve had such a fantastic run with you all yet again, and this season ends on a high note. We discussed all the fun activities we’re getting up to this month, and how our year has truly felt from January to December. This led us to reflect on the areas we want to improve in 2026, including supporting our friends with their children. We talked about becoming better support groups for parents, getting married SOON so we can receive free transfer (wife privileges), and some really juicy dilemmas about loving someone even though they’re cheating and your partner hating your weight gain (crazy). But we’re so thankful to all of you and all the brands who worked with us this year. See you in a bigger and badder place come 2026. We love you! 

We also wanted to let guys know we’ll be going to see J Hus at Music City Central, and you should get your tickets right hurrr! https://url-shortener.me/2MDO

What time is it? Christmas time, so it’s our vacation! Just kidding, we might have one or two more fun releases for you guys before the end of the year. It’s just us in the studio this week, and we talk about our December plans (we can’t wait to leave Lagos, of course)… It’s also an intense & thought-provoking episode in which we discuss the erosion of real community, friendship, and communal life. We also discuss how impossible it is to solve our societal (and national) issues because of government irresponsibility, rather than individual apathy. We wrap up the episode with some truly interesting (derogatory) dilemmas: thinking your partner is razz & uncultured, and having a friend who secretly hates you. By the way, we also wanted to let guys know we’ll be going to see J Hus at Music City Central, and you should get your tickets right hurrr! https://url-shortener.me/2MDO

This week, we are joined by a fabulous guest, Tai of Foodie in Lagos, who’s an equally hilarious babe. We talk about the rite of passage of pranking your siblings, how dealing with grief never gets easier, and how kids are never taught traditions and the reasons behind them, but are expected to obey them completely. We also get into how Tai started a successful food blog through her BlackBerry Messenger status, which has now grown into a community of 60,000+ people! There’s also some really juicy dilemmas about teenage pregnancy, transitioning from friends to lovers and how to handle leeches in the form of friends who keep taking advantage of you. 

Our friends at Coca-Cola also have the juiciest offers to win N250 million in prizes if you buy a 50cl Coke, Scan the QR code & Share!

We’re joined by a very unassuming guest, someone you wouldn’t know is a very big amebo but that’s exactly how we like it. We have Ugo from our key helpers, Bamboo!!! We talk about our favorite shows and the battle of the streaming sites (we all know Apple TV wins). We also recap the sweetness that was the Abuja Live show, and we want to thank you again for all the love and gifts!! If you missed it, ntor 🤭. This episode is sponsored by situationships round the world, you really keep everyone on their feet. We also get into changing friendship dynamics when one person makes more money than the other and what to do when your friend slutshames your mother (you read that right). Enjoy!! Also, don’t forget to get your tickets to the Lagos live show and party on Friday, before they’re sold out!

We hope your 'undies' weren't in a bunch as a result of our absence last week because what was missing last week has been made up for this week. After a glimpse into FK's new high-level hobby to set things off, the ladies of ISWIS explore, travel and the importance of preserving Nigerian culture. Joined by Dimma Umeh as she graces us for her 4th feature on the pod, (Yes, it's her 4th time) this episode is a history exchange class coupled with top tier comedy and an analysis of a unique marital dilemma to help out the head of a home - amongst other things. If the word “moist” irks your soul or you've been faced with an unrequited love declaration situation, then this 3-hour episode will absolutely thrill you.

Enjoy the musings of the three friends who are reunited in an absolutely hilarious episode.

This week, Jola & FK are alone on the couch as they discuss the state of the nation (are you ready for a Trump-led invasion?), Lagos Fashion Week, and whatever is in the air making many people ill. They then provide excellent, bad advice to a number of you struggling with everything from gluttonous talking stages to bigoted parents. We hope this episode makes you think deeply & laugh even more. As always, let us know your thoughts, and enjoy!

This week’s episode is sponsored by God’s grace. Jola & FK are joined by Blessing Omakwu, the CEO of The She Tank, a gender-equality evangelist, and a really knowledgeable theologian. The girls get into the dicey topic of balancing one’s faith and feminism; if these concepts are entirely antithetical to one another, OR if religious text is actually more feminist than we believe. They shed light on our favourite Bible stories and on how much nuance is required in the pursuit of Christ. They also tackle some really dicey dilemmas about a couple who co-own a thriving business. Still, one half always takes all the credit, and the dynamics of growing up in a home with separated parents. We hope this episode makes you think deeply & laugh even more. As always, let us know your thoughts, and enjoy!

The girls are very demure this week as they’re joined by Bimpe of On The Rocks With B! Bimpe talks about being an entrepreneur who runs no1, not 2 but 3 (almost 4) businesses. She also talks about building a business in a male-dominated field, how she became an entrepreneur at 20 & why she hasn’t stopped since university.

Then they get into their thoughts on facial dysmorphia, being boxed as an extremely ambitious woman and working towards your dreams rather than just thinking or complaining about them. There’s something for everyone in this episode because they also talk about what to do when you’re in a rut or are depressed and how to change your life, brick by brick. We hope you enjoy!
