Dating in this digital age? Omo, God dey.
In this episode, I sit down with three of my girls to unpack the lows and straight-up madness of online dating. From hilarious first messages to ghosting that left us confused, we’re sharing how the apps changed the way we date and what we’ve learned since.
Whether you're still swiping, deleting, and redownloading every other weekend or you've retired your dating profile for good, this episode is real, relatable, and full of gems.
What to expect:
Our wildest dating app stories
What made us download that app in the first place
Lessons, red flags, and glow-ups
A spicy hot take round on why dating apps might actually be the problem 👀

In this episode of Naija Girl Talks, we're diving into the wild, weird, and slightly terrifying world of Artificial Intelligence. I sat down with my friend, Jada Mercy, to talk about how AI is affecting our lives—from the way we work and date to how we think and create as Millennials and Gen Zs.
We kept it real about the good, the bad, and the “should we be worried?” moments. Is AI helping us level up, or are we slowly becoming too dependent on the machines? Either way, the group chat had thoughts.
What we get into:
How AI is changing how we live, scroll, and work
Whether AI is making us smarter—or just making us lazy
How to use AI as a tool without losing ourselves
The cultural shift in creativity, dating, and decision-making
Whether we’re actually cooked… or just adjusting to the chaos

So boom—there’s a viral clip of a Nigerian mother-in-law going OFF on her Black American daughter-in-law over... a plate. Yes, a plate. And of course, we had to talk about it.
From culture clashes to respect vs. control, this convo gets real real. Are we overreacting, or is this just another episode of “Nigerian Parents Doing the Most”? Tap in and let’s get into it.

This week on Naija Girl Talks, it’s giving group chat energy! We’re getting real about how this year’s been moving—between the wild economy, political wahala, and our own personal plot twists. It’s an honest, no-filter convo that feels like a FaceTime call with your homegirl. Grab your tea (or wine), ‘cause we’re unpacking it all—the wins, the woes, and the lessons we’re taking with us. You in?

In this heartfelt episode of Naija Girl Talks, Olamide sits down with grief coach Dr. Chinasa Elue to explore the unique journey of grieving as a Nigerian woman. They delve into cultural nuances, family dynamics, and personal experiences that shape the grieving process within the Nigerian community. Together, they uncover strategies for healing, finding strength in vulnerability, and embracing grief as a natural part of life.

Dr. Chinasa Elue is a professor, speaker, grief coach, and the CEO and Founder of True Titans Consulting Group. She is an expert on grief leadership in higher education and trauma-informed practices in organizational settings. Dr. Elue’s interest in grief is personal. After the devastating loss of her mother, Chinasa felt stuck in grief. Navigating loss with her support system inspired Chinasa to explore more deeply how or to what extent organizational leaders are creating spaces to support those they lead who are experiencing loss of all kinds. The ongoing pandemics and the ever-changing contexts exposed the need for even more of these critical dialogues to occur.

The first episode is here, and you know we had to cover the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria and abroad. SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) was created to stop scammers and fraudsters. Instead, they have been attacking, harassing, extorting, raping, and killing the youths for having an iPhone, dressing "nice," having tattoos, or just simply crossing their paths. Though the issue is back home, the fight is here in our backyard as well. Listen as Sandra and Deola share their perspective on the matter as Nigerians living abroad.
