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.
