We unpack why so many couples choose to leave Nigeria together, the pressures that come with starting over abroad, and how cultural shifts, financial stress, and changing dynamics can strain relationships.From the expectations people carry into “Japa life” to the hard truths behind why some marriages don’t survive the move, this episode goes beyond the glossy version of relocation. Honest, thought-provoking, and necessary, it’s a conversation for anyone considering leaving Nigeria with a partner, or trying to make love and marriage work in a new country.First episode of the year, and we’re back with another banger!FOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.i Hosted on Acast.

From commanding crowds on stage to holding her own behind the mic, Melody opens up about the journey that shaped her confidence, her voice, and her brand.We talk about how she found her calling in hosting and hyping, the realities people don’t see behind the energy, and the misconceptions that often follow women in entertainment. Melody shares moments where being a woman worked in her favour, times when it didn’t, and how she learned to set boundaries, earn respect, and stay unapologetically herself in spaces that don’t always make room for women.This episode is a candid exploration of confidence, resilience, and self-belief, packed with real-life stories, industry insights, and lessons for anyone trying to find their footing, especially women navigating industries where they’re often the minority. Whether you’re in entertainment, media, or just figuring out how to own your voice, this conversation will resonate deeply.FOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.ihttps://www.instagram.com/themelodynotmia Hosted on Acast.

On today’s episode, we’re diving into one of those relationship topics everybody has experienced but nobody likes to admit - jealousy and insecurity. Why do we get jealous? When is it normal, and when is it a red flag? Is it “cute” or is it a sign that something deeper is off? We break down the thin line between love, fear, and control, and why insecurity shows up even in the healthiest relationships.We talk triggers, trust issues, social media wahala, emotional maturity, and all the little things that make jealousy spiral into something bigger. And of course, we also get into how to communicate better so your relationship doesn’t turn into a battleground.If you’ve ever caught yourself overthinking, snooping, or fighting imaginary battles in your head, this one is for you. Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe learn a thing or two about keeping your peace (and your relationship).Google forms: https://forms.gle/LKG8XM4v2yrax5dj9FOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.i Hosted on Acast.

Watch here - https://youtu.be/JEFQXd4Hr8EHey guys! On today’s episode, we have just one question for you. Should you take back a cheating partner? We talk about everything from “it was just a mistake” to “once a cheat, always a cheat” and whether love, marriage, or years of history should make forgiveness easier (or harder). Is emotional cheating worse than physical cheating? Can trust ever be rebuilt? And most importantly - are you a clown or a lover for giving them another chance? If you’ve ever been in this position, judged someone who stayed, or are currently debating texting them back… this one’s for you. Listen, laugh, scream internally, and don’t forget to subscribe and share. Follow us on http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerianpodcasthttp://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/damii_aroshttp://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.i Hosted on Acast.
