Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!

In this hilarious, awkward, and absolutely chaotic episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I share the unbelievable story of how a simple Valentine's Day date turned into a 30-minute wardrobe nightmare. What was supposed to be a romantic home date with Netflix, jollof rice, and maybe even "the do" quickly spiralled into hiding like a criminal, facing a surprise law examination, and nearly getting caught by Nigerian parents who weren't supposed to be home.

From meeting Precious at a Unilag theatre play to building romantic chemistry over weeks to her parents showing up unannounced on Valentine's Day to me being shoved into a wardrobe praying for my life to Precious suggesting I jump out the window to her father interrogating me about constitutional law topics I knew NOTHING about. This episode is packed with panic, lies, and the kind of Valentine's stress only Lagos can provide.

But the real question? How did I go from "Netflix and chill" to "Fundamental Human Procedures" and running errands on Valentine's Day?

The craziest part? I was sick that morning but drove all the way because of love. And after surviving the wardrobe, the interrogation, and the errands, Precious revealed she hadn't even told her parents she broke up with her ex. So I suffered for a relationship that didn't technically exist in her parents' eyes.

If you've ever hidden in a wardrobe to avoid parents, lied about being a law student, or realised you drove across Lagos while sick for absolutely nothing, this episode will have you laughing and cringing from start to finish.

Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!

In this hilarious, chaotic, and entrepreneurial episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I share the unbelievable story of how I became Lagos's most unlikely Christmas delivery man. What was supposed to be a simple side hustle selling 50 chickens for Christmas quickly turned into house-to-house chaos, awkward encounters, and an unexpected marriage proposal.

From customers who thought meeting me was part of the package to the Surulere woman who insulted both me and my chicken to using my baritone voice to sell extra birds to church members who still owe me money till today. This episode is packed with madness, hustle, and the kind of Christmas stress only Lagos can provide.

But the real story? Meeting Naomi and her unforgettable mother, Mrs. Okonkwo, who offered to pay for our ENTIRE wedding if I marry her daughter after delivering just ONE chicken to their house.

The real question is: Can selling chickens lead to finding love or just more wahala?

If you've ever started a business that spiralled out of control, been mistaken for an Uber driver while doing your own deliveries, or had a parent try to arrange your marriage on the spot, this episode will have you laughing from start to finish.

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.

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.
