The "Smell Good, Look Good" Episode ft. Teniola Aladese
This week, we have the best actor in the world on the best podcast in the world — Teniola Aladese!

We also sort out some juicy dilemmas about infidelity, stealing & mother-daughter trauma (a real trifecta). You know the best episodes are the ones where we ha...
The "Enter With Your Change" Episode ft. Christiana & Omolara
This week’s episode takes us on a journey — no, really, we’re joined by Christina and Omolara, who are a bus driver & conductor duo in the city of Lagos. These up-and-doing ladies have done everything from fashion design and trading to selling bush meat, and are now in the transportation business. They take us through what it’s like plying Lagos roads as women, the passengers, heavy taxes and circumstances they have to deal with on a daily basis, while also being mothers and breadwin...
The "High Agency Rebel" Episode ft. Mimi Abudu
This week’s episode is what the kids like to call a “deep cut”. It’s 3 hours with the one and only Mimi Abudu (yes, the same Abudu you know). We dive into the conversation of being whimsical just for the plot, gems on building real confidence and trust in yourself/your gut. She also talks about knowing when it’s time to pivot, what to avoid when making big life changes, and how to be a successful rebel as you create the life you truly want. We also get into some deeply unserious and qu...
The "Biggest Fan" Episode
This week’s episode is what we like to call a meandering banger. We can’t explain how we started the conversation from the idolization of religious leaders and ended up at sexual grief (you’ll get it when you listen). We also talked about our thoughts from the last episode and some of your opinions on our lovely co-wives. Most importantly, we spoke about what we’d do if we won the lottery, because who doesn’t love a bit of delusion? We’re also pleased to say we had not 1 or 2, but 3 ...
The "One Love" Episode ft. Feranmi and Esther
Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Real Co-wives of Lagos City! Our first guests of the season are co-wives, married to the same husband and living in the same household.

We also learn how our co-wives manage tensions, children, sharing one man, and their personal relationship dynamics. We start off the episode with some real...
The "Whimsical Welcome Back" Episode
You know what rhymes with 2026? ISWIS! We’re back with a bang for season 8! In the first episode of the year, we discuss whether New Year's resolutions are in or out, and somehow we end up complaining about the Nigerian experience (as usual). We talk about our super fun holidays and the need to add more whimsy and enjoyment in life — maybe that’s our actual New Year's resolution. We also discuss the need to reduce pleasantries or niceties and actually chat with people to find out how they...
The "Feliz Credit Alert" Episode
Ladies & Gents, welcome to our last episode of season 7. We’ve had such a fantastic run with you all yet again, and this season ends on a high note.

We talked about becoming better support groups for parents, getting married SOON so we can receive ...
The "Let's Make A Group" Episode
What time is it? Christmas time, so it’s our vacation! Just kidding, we might have one or two more fun releases for you guys before the end of the year.

We also discuss how impossible it is to solve our societal (and national) issues bec...
The "So What Do We Do Now" Episode ft. Tai (Foodie In Lagos)
This week, we are joined by a fabulous guest, Tai of Foodie in Lagos, who’s an equally hilarious babe. We talk about the rite of passage of pranking your siblings, how dealing with grief never gets easier, and how kids are never taught traditions and the reasons behind them, but are expected to obey them completely. We also get into how Tai started a successful food blog through her BlackBerry Messenger status, which has now grown into a community of 60,000+ people! There’s also some really ...
