Breakfast. These days it could be actual cake or it could be heartache and tears. If you want to hear about actual cake, then you can follow IG @bakersstreetng but if you'd like to hear about the twist and turns in Agozie's quest for a potential life partner, then this episode is for you. From parental pressure to societal interference and then all the way to heartbreaks, regrets, and dating tips, Episode 8 literally has it all and more🙂.
It turns out Lilian and I are afraid of a lot of things. Episode 7 attempts to outline as many of those fears as we could remember.
P.S. Listen to the end for a very important message 🤗
A conversation about Jeff's childhood and nothern upbringing gets hijacked by a detour into the world of genetic science. From creating the perfect baby to sharing ideas on improved parenting, Episode 6 has it all and a lot more.
Whether you're preparing to move to a new country or not, Episode 4 provides an opportunity to live vicariously through a man who has. My first attempt at an online session sheds light on Chinedu's experience so far, the difficulties of adjusting to a new country, enduring discrimination, plans for the future and a lot more.
Episode 3 captures moments of calm in what could potentially be a Nigerian sized storm heading Nonye's way. Moments which are outlined in a half hour conversation between two 'podcasters😉' about adulting, coping mechanisms and having to re-experience Nigeria after a brief period away from it.
A breakdown of life events between myself and a man that has kissed a lot of occupational frogs🙂. This episode puts aside the details of a 7 year friendship to shed light on career choices, failed businesses, life in the Nigerian tech space and some of the harsh realities of the labour market.
A doctor, a failed athlete, a kickass engineer and a musical prodigy all walk into this episode. The ensuing exchange is definitely worth a listen. This episode is the summarised product of the highs and lows of chasing your dreams in Nigeria, navigating Nigerian parents and a 16 year long bromance with Zikorah (Ig:_ZIC)
