The 30 Minute Podcast

In what now feels like unending quest for love & companionship, I joined another Whatsapp dating community and on it someone got the admin of the group to not only ask me out on a date but to also ghost me. It was the first time someone ghosted me on behalf of someone else and I talk about the experience as well as the dating whatsapp group on this episode of The 30 Minute Podcast. I hope you enjoy it.

By the way please follow the podcast on Instagram on @The30MinutePod where I plan to post bonus material that I forgot to add to the main episode.

What it do baby boo! Season 3 of the podcast is here and I'm kicking things off with an episode on how you guys can make the most out of food festivals like the GTCO food & drink festival that will happen this weekend, April 26th, 27th & 28th.

Whenever I post about GT Food & drink people reach out to me saying they would like to come but they're worried about the traffic or the intense sun or the large crowds so I thought I'd dedicate my first episode of the season on how you can attend the festival and not get sun burnt or stuck in traffic or lost in a massive crowd of people. Basically, how you can attend with as little stress as possible.

Enjoy the episode and be sure to share it with a friend or fellow lover of GTCO food & drink. See you there this weekend. 😉

Season two of the 30 minute podcast took 6 months instead of 3 months and that's part of why I'm very displeased with this season of the podcast. On this episode I talk about what happened and why I didn't bring my A-game in season two and what I plan to do to make sure that season 3 is much, much better.

I hope you enjoy the episode and shout out to those of you that tuned in this season in spite of my inconsistency. Catch you in April for season 3. In the mean time follow me on IG on @the30minutepod.

In February there were a couple of speed dating events I planned to attend. For those who aren't familiar with it, speed dating is an organized social activity in which people seeking romantic relationships have a series of short conversations with potential partners in order to determine whether there is mutual interest.

On this episode of the 30 minute podcast I talk about my process of preparing to attend 2 of the 3 speed dating events that were meant to take place on February 17th and what ended up happening. Enjoy.

Happy Valentine's Day guys! Since it's the season of love, on this week's episode of the podcast I talk about the fact that I've never said the words 'I LOVE YOU' to a romantic partner before and how I've been able to not say it even though I've been in a number of relationships.Enjoy the episode and feel free to share your thoughts about love with me. For example, when do you think is the right time to say those 3 special words to someone?

A couple of months back Pastor Bolaji Idowu complained in a tweet that he's finding it hard to get unmarried people to stop having sex and on the flip side he's finding it difficult to get married couples who should be having sex to actually be intimate with each other.

Now, I'm not married but I decided to share my two cents as to why I think both problems are on the increase in the faith community especially in Nigeria where I live.

I hope you enjoy this week's episode of The 30 Minute Podcast. Remember to share it with someone else you think might enjoy it and remember that new episodes drop on Wednesdays and the video version come out on Saturday mornings.

On this episode I look at HYPERGAMY which is defined as the action of marrying or forming a sexual relationship with a person of a superior sociological or educational background. After watching an interview on Youtube of a woman who's relationship failed basically because she was earning more and paying all the bills in the home, I began to wonder if it's actually ethical, reasonable or even normal for a person to seek a mate or a spouse who is better off economically than they are so that they can take care of them.

Also, seeing as it's the societal norm for a husband to earn more than his wife because he's meant to be the provider in the family, I decided to ask if it's possible for there to be happy and successful marriages where the woman is the one who earns more than the man or might even be the provider in the home and if so, what would it take for that to happen.

My conclusion on this episode was that it actually is possible however it causes lots of friction in the relationship/marriage because both parties don't know how to navigate the reversal of financial gender roles and the power dynamic that comes with it.

In my life can't remember a single instance when a woman has apologised for something she did to me. If I think long and hard I might be able to remember one or two instancse but regardless, I don't think many women are in the habit of apologising or of taking accountability for their actions, especially when it comes to relationships and I've often wondered why.Something happened in my personal life not long ago that sparked this thought in my head. I had a misunderstanding with a lady that was quite dear to me and I felt like I was wronged and I wanted to talk about it but she didn't. I think she didn't want to talk because she perceived that she would have to somehow take accountability for her actions and she wasn't ready for that. Well, that incident sent me down that rabbit hole of why women aren't in the habit of being accountable in relationships and that's what I decided to talk about on this episode of THE 30 MINUTE PODCAST. Enjoy.

Ali Abdaal's video on how to make 2024 the best year of your life provided the template for how I plan to reach my goals this year, 2024. On this episode of the 30 minute podcast I share my plans in 2024 in 9 major areas of my life in line with the 'wheel of life' model. These areas or pillars or parameters are family, friends, growth, money, mission, body, mind, faith/soul and romance.

The debate of what people bring to the table in a relationship or whether that question should be asked at all really made the rounds on social media in 2023. Some were for it, most were against it. In this video, for the benefit of people that are open to the conversation and finding answers, I talk about how you can go about answering that question and I give examples of some things one can say when answering that question. Feel free to share your own examples or thoughts in the comments below.
