Why Am I Still Single?

Chat with Check Edgar

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.

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.

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 make you side-eye every fork and knife in your kitchen drawer. 

Today’s episode is titled “Fork & Knife”, and it’s not just about cutlery. It’s about shame, class, and how turkey wings ruined my love life. 

In this episode, I walk you through the most awkward date I’ve ever had with a fine babe introduced to me by her brother, Demeji. It started with a Black native and big vibes… but ended with her judging my upbringing because I used my hand to eat turkey. 

You’ll laugh. You’ll sigh. You’ll scream, “Just use the fork, Edgar!” 

🎧 Tap in to hear how being “a celebrity” means I can’t lick soup, can’t crack bone, and apparently, can’t finish my food in peace.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!

In this explosive episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I take you back to 2020, the year I thought I was rising... until someone tried to ruin me with a sex tape I didn’t even know existed.

It started with a DM. A guy claiming I slept with his girlfriend. Then he said he had footage. Then he asked for 1 million naira or he’d leak it.

Now, here’s the twist, at the time, I was still a virgin.

What followed was blackmail, fake tears, a doctored voice note, a viral video on Naijapals (yes, Naijapals!), and one of the wildest experiences I’ve ever survived.

This isn’t just about a scandal; it’s about how fragile reputation can be, how dangerous clout chasing is, and why you should never tell someone “sorry” on the phone unless you’re recording it.

💣 Sit back, relax, and get ready for betrayal, comedy, panic, and maybe a little revenge.
 Because this time, I wasn’t the one pranking, I was the target.

Welcome to another mind-bending episode of Why Am I Still Single? and today, we’re entering the wild, deceptive world of Liars.

This episode is titled "Lila the LION", and trust me, the name fits. I’m breaking down the four types of liars you’ll meet in the dating jungle: The White Lie (they lie for peace), The Black Lie (they lie for gain), The Linus (they lie out of fear) And the Lions (they lie to dominate and impress). 

And today’s Lion? An old friend I reconnected with on Instagram, who told me she was an Adeleke, Davido’s cousin, BurnaBoy’s little sister, and one of the richest girls in Lagos.

You already know this is about to be wild.
Tune in to find out how it all played out.

This episode? E go touch you. 

In Prom Queen, I take you back to secondary school — back when love was sweet, pride was loud, and Michael wore shoes that had light. 

This is the true story of how I thought I was in love with the finest girl in class, Tobi. She chose me. Took me to the secretary. Made me her prom date. But on the night of our school prom, something happened… something I’ve never forgotten. 

From heartbreak to insult, from tears to redemption, this episode will remind you why money, branding, and emotional damage started young. 

So why am I still single? Because Tobi chose a king for the night over a man for the future. 

🎧 Listen now for the drama, the nostalgia, the betrayal, and the surprise twist that gave my broken heart a little hope.
