Let's find love together. A new episode drops every Friday. Edgar doesn’t lie. Check Edgar out!

This episode features my appearance on the So Nigerian Podcast, where we discuss the realities of being a Lagos bachelor—dating challenges, relationship dynamics, friendzone signals, awkward encounters, and the chaotic but hilarious world of love in Lagos.

The conversation covers ideal Lagos dates, why people struggle to find love in the city, and whether cheating can ever be considered a “mistake.” I also share some of my funniest dating stories, unfiltered takes, and dating apps. 

Filled with humor, honesty, and real-life stories, this is a must-listen for anyone navigating modern relationships in Lagos.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!

In this hilarious, chaotic, and action-packed episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I share the unbelievable story of how a simple cinema date turned into a full Lagos blockbuster. What was supposed to be a cute Superman movie outing quickly escalated into loud laughter, flying popcorn, insults, threats, and three angry men waiting for me outside like final-boss villains.

From my date calling me Black Superman…
to a jealous stranger grabbing my shirt…
to my waist making a sound it has never made before…
This episode is filled with madness, confusion, and the kind of embarrassment only Lagos can provide.

But the real question is:
How did a single date make me feel like a superhero… yet remind me that I am absolutely not one?

If you’ve ever gone on a date that turned into a fight, dealt with dramatic strangers, or realized love is not worth risking your waistline, this episode will have you laughing from start to finish.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!

From phone therapy sessions to emotional misdiagnosis, Edgar finds himself tangled in the wildest romantic misunderstanding ever told on the podcast. Months later, a single “hi” message reopens old wounds, but trust Edgar to end it all in the most unexpected way possible.

If you’ve ever fallen for the wrong person, replied to the wrong message, or just wanted to laugh through your love life mistakes, this episode is your therapy session, no appointment needed.

Let's find love together. A new episode drops every Friday. Edgar doesn’t lie. Check Edgar out!

In this hilarious and chaotic episode of “Why Am I Still Single?”, Edgar takes us to a red cup party he had no business attending. What starts as a night of fake smiles, bad traffic, and Star Radler quickly turns into unexpected romance — and then a full-blown crime scene.

After meeting a gorgeous lady named Niffy, everything seems perfect… until she asks Edgar to watch her phone while she goes to the restroom. Minutes later, the phone disappears — and somehow, Edgar becomes the number one suspect! From awkward dance moves to EFCC-style bag searches, this story is one Lagos party you’ll never forget.

If you’ve ever been wrongly accused, fallen for someone at first sight, or regretted following your friend to a random birthday party, this episode will have you laughing and nodding all through.

👉 Listen now to find out how Edgar survived the humiliation, what really happened to Niffy’s phone, and why he now believes that his friend Lancelot is pure bad luck.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here. 

Today’s episode is called “Mary Magdalene.” And no, not the one from the Bible… but close. This is the story of a woman who almost turned our first date into a full-blown deliverance service. 

From asking me whether God knows me, to pulling out a big leather Bible at a restaurant, to making me sit through fasting, Bible study, and a prayer that nearly called down fire on my jollof rice. Mary was unlike anyone I’d ever met. And for a moment, I really thought she might be “the one”… or at least “the one who could make me a pastor by force.” 

In this episode, I’ll walk you through the highs, the laughs, the confusion, and that unforgettable mix of romance and revival that left me asking myself once again: Why am I still single? 

🎧 Tap in for a story that proves sometimes love feels like scripture, but other times it just feels like homework.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! 

This episode starts with me in bed, dreaming of food because I’m fasting. Only for one loud Lagos bus horn to drag me back to reality. I look out the window, and boom… a moving truck. A new tenant. My dad did mention someone was coming, but I didn’t know it would be her. 

Her name is Ada. Pretty. Glasses. Smart. Funny. The kind of neighbour you immediately start planning fake landlord lines for in your head. I went down to say hello, tried to act smooth… and still managed to fumble it. Didn’t even collect her number when she basically gave me a cue. Pain. 

Just when I’m replaying the whole thing in my head, Collins calls. If you know Collins, you know the drama: stingy, unserious with women, and always reminding me of the ₦25k I owe him. 

This episode is full of Lagos chaos, noisy horns, nosy neighbours, my internal monologues, and me trying (and failing) to act like I have game. It’s just the beginning of a three-part story: I Like My Neighbour, I Love My Neighbour, and maybe… I marry My Neighbour. 

So plug in, laugh at my expense, and tell me, what should I do about Ada?

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!

Welcome to another painfully honest episode of Why Am I Still Single?  and this one? This one might just leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m., thinking about the one that got away.

Today’s episode is titled “T Junction”,  but it’s not about cars or traffic. It’s about life, choices… and the kind of crossroads that can change everything.

In this episode, I take you into the story of a woman who trusted me enough to tell me her truth. A truth that scared me, not because she was wrong for me, but because I wasn’t ready for her world. I froze. I didn’t turn left, I didn’t turn right… I just stood there, and the road closed behind me.

You’ll feel the tension, the guilt, the “what if” that still haunts me today. And maybe… you’ll see your own T junctions in the story.

🎧 Tap in to hear how I walked away from something real, not because it wasn’t love, but because I wasn’t the man she needed me to be.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! 

Welcome to another painfully hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single?  and this one? This one will leave your heart in your mouth and your pride in the gutter. 

Today’s episode is titled “Friendzone” but not just any kind of friendzone. I’m talking about the kind where she cries on your chest… and then calls you her big brother. 😭 

In this episode, I take you deep into the trenches of emotional warfare where the crush of my life cried in my arms after a breakup… and I thought heaven had finally answered my prayers. But instead? I found myself in the worst battlefield of all: the friendzone.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll clutch your chest and scream, “God abeg!” 

🎧 Tap in to hear how I fumbled my shot, got promoted to sibling status, and learned the hard way that just because she’s crying on your shoulder… doesn’t mean you’re the chosen one. 

📩 Got a painful friendzone story? Send it to [email protected]. I might just read it on the show!
