Why Am I Still Single?

Chat with Check Edgar

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another explosive and unforgettable episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled Point and Kill, and no, it’s not about Fish… or an action film!

In this wild story, a simple game night turns into chaos, betrayal, and a full-blown lounge fight involving heartbreak, jealousy, and one suspiciously fast slap from a random boyfriend. What started as harmless fun with friends quickly spiraled into a night I’ll never forget—and not just because I left with a swollen face and a ₦50k fine. 

It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s painful. But most of all, it’s real. From spinning bottles to dodging punches, this episode explores male friendships, fragile egos, and how heartbreak can make even the calmest men fight like gladiators. 

🎧 So, plug in your earphones and press play on Point and Kill—and remember, when life slaps you, sometimes the best response… is laughter.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! 

First of all, I AM BACK!!! In this spicy and unforgettable episode of Why Am I Still Single?, Check Edgar shares the wild story of falling for an Oyinbo girl who turned his world upside down — and not in a good way. 

From expensive dates to unexpected "adult adventures," Edgar’s trip through love and culture shock shows exactly why Nigerian women will always be number one in his heart. What started with laughter, tattoos, and sweet nicknames ended in flogging, heartbreak, and a complete social media block! 

At the end of the day, Edgar learned one hard truth: Oyinbo pepper truly showed him pepper. 🌶️ 

🎧 Tune in for the madness, the twists you won’t see coming, and a reminder that sometimes love abroad is not worth the stress.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! 

Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single?—and today, we’re diving into the treacherous world of long-distance relationships. Or as I like to call it, “How to Date Someone Who’s Always in Another Time Zone—Physically and Emotionally.” 

Once upon a wedding, I met someone special. Sparks flew, numbers were exchanged, and before I knew it, I was in a long-distance relationship. But apparently, my patience lasted longer than hers—because when I didn’t move at her pace (if you know what I mean), she moved on to someone else. Yep, I lost my girlfriend because I didn’t have sex with her. Who knew celibacy had consequences?

In this episode, I break down how it all went wrong, from late-night calls and expensive flight tickets to the moment I realized I had been replaced. Was I too slow? Was she too fast? Or was long-distance just a terrible idea from the start? 

Tune in to find out.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! 

Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single?—and today, we’re diving into Valentine’s Day trauma. 

For years, my Valentine’s gift exchange was nothing short of a national embarrassment. While other guys were getting PS5s, designer perfumes, and surprise trips, my love life felt like a cruel social experiment. My gifts? A pack of Cabin biscuits (yes, dry biscuits with no drink), a tube of toothpaste (was she hinting at something?), and a mug with my name spelled completely wrong. At some point, I started believing I was the problem. 

Then came 2022. That’s when I met Nnena. And the gift she got me? Unbelievable. The kind of thing that made me question if Cupid had finally decided to stop playing with my destiny. 

What was the gift? Did my Valentine’s Day curse finally break? Or was this another setup from the universe? Tune in to find out.

Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single?—and today, we’re wrapping up 2024 in the most dramatic way possible.

Yes, I know—it’s coming late. But in my defense, so is my love life.

This year? A full-blown movie. A thriller, a comedy, and, at times, a psychological horror. I laughed, I cried, I made questionable life choices—but most importantly, I remained single. Again.

In this episode, I’ll break down my 2024 goals—what I crushed, what crushed me, and what I conveniently forgot about by March. Then, I’ll take you through my dating adventures (or misadventures), including the lady who borrowed my jacket and still hasn’t returned it. And finally, there was that moment when I thought, just maybe, this was the year I’d stop asking, Why am I still single?

Did I finally find love? Did I escape the trenches? Or am I still out here collecting relationships L’s like Infinity Stones?

Tune in to find out.

Welcome to another wild and hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled The Gold Circle, and it’s a ride filled with glitz, glamour, and one very suspicious “business mogul” named Vanessa. 

This story begins with a DM that wasn’t exactly flattering—Vanessa insulted my voice, but somehow, that turned into a conversation. Before I knew it, she was offering to manage my career. Vanessa wasn’t just charming; she was dazzling. She had the lifestyle to match—private jets, designer everything, and big promises, including a Netflix deal. But as our interactions unfolded, the lines between romance and business got blurry, and so did her motives. 

The Gold Circle is all about trust, intuition, and spotting the difference between genuine connections and carefully crafted illusions. So, grab your headphones and tune in to this rollercoaster of a story. And remember—Edgar doesn’t lie. Check Edgar out!

It’s been a minute, I know—and this episode might not even stay up for long, so listen while you can! I’m spilling the tea on why I’ve been MIA, including the chaos of juggling a new job, planning a tour, and, yes, even delivering fowl for my mom (don’t ask).

I’m also giving you a sneak peek into 2025: new episodes, exclusive content, and exciting projects like the Checkedgar website, two limited podcast series (Disclosure and Blue Roses), and fresh blogs (In Other News and The Barristers).

Plus, I’m sharing something really special: the first-ever audio storytelling recordings I made back in 2015 as a student at the University of Lagos. They’re raw, personal, and recorded on my phone—but hey, it’s history in the making!

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another heartwarming episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled Breakfast in Bed, and it’s one for the books—a blend of romance, heartbreak, and some hard-to-swallow truths. 

In this episode, I take you back to 2017, to a friend’s party where a random game of Truth or Dare led me to meet Fola, the woman who would redefine what love—and betrayal—meant to me. What started with me begging her for her number (to complete the dare) turned into a rollercoaster of morning texts, pineapple deliveries, and late-night laughs that made me believe in love.

Fola wasn’t just any girl; she was thoughtful, attentive, and had this knack for showing she cared in the smallest yet most meaningful ways. But as our relationship blossomed, cracks began to show—cracks shaped like her "cousin" Bro Joe. What followed was a messy journey of trust issues, denials, and a breakup over breakfast that left me questioning everything.

This episode explores the sweetness of love, the bitterness of heartbreak, and the lessons hidden in between. Whether you’ve ever felt blindsided in a relationship or served up breakfast only to get served heartbreak, this story will hit home. 

So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and listen to Breakfast in Bed. And as always, remember—Edgar doesn’t lie. Check Edgar out!
