Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!
This week, Edgar wakes up to a marriage proposal happening right outside his window. Live band, a brand new car, a diamond ring, the whole thing. But the real story is not the proposal. It is what saved the relationship two years earlier, after a fight so bad the police got involved. One folded letter. No envelope. Just a few words that did what six years of conversation could not.
That discovery sends Edgar to his desk, his pen, and his microphone with one mission: write a letter to a woman he has not met yet.
What follows is 120 dates, eight years, three terrible first drafts, a generator emergency next door, and a neighbour named Cordelia who has the biggest mouth in Lagos and absolutely no shame about it.
But underneath all of that is the most honest thing Edgar has said on this podcast. A letter to his future partner. Written live, in front of all of you. And he meant every word.
Why am I still single? Because my soulmate has not read her letter yet.
Edgar doesn't lie.

Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!
This is the final chapter of Tobi's Wedding. And I promised you everything, so that is exactly what you are getting.
After everything you heard last week, the group chat, the spare tyre, and Chibuzor, I had a decision to make. And I made it.
What followed was a confrontation, a phone call I should never have picked up, and a wedding I attended with a very specific plan and absolutely zero regrets.
This episode is for everyone who has ever been told they are average by the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time and decided quietly, without noise, that the only response worth giving was winning.
Why am I still single? Because I decided to try a crazy experiment with the devil.
Edgar doesn't lie.

Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!
In this episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I want to tell you about an experiment. A four-month experiment. With a woman called Tobi.
I did not ask Tobi out because I was in love. There were no butterflies. No sparks. Nothing like that. But everyone around us could see something we refused to see her friends, my friends, our families, and one completely useless Uber driver who had absolutely no business in our lives.
So we agreed. Four months. An experiment. And I went all in.
What I got back, I was not prepared for.
This episode is for everyone who has ever trusted someone completely, only to find out that the person had a very different version of the story. A version they were sharing with other people. While you were still in it.
CheckMates, some things you cannot unhear. And some group chats you should never have been shown.
Edgar doesn't lie.

Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!
In this deeply personal and completely unfiltered episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I take you inside a dream that has been following me since April 2022.
Not a dream about success. Not a dream about love. A dream about a baby. My baby. A girl with my face and no teeth, crying in my arms, at a filling station, surrounded by bags of clothes, while I stand there confused and stranded, waiting for a ride that never comes.
The dream has been visiting me once or twice a month for four years. And every single time, I wake up terrified. Because this is 2026. The year I kept seeing on the signs.
I am not married. I do not have a girlfriend. And I have never wanted to be a baby daddy.
This episode is for everyone who has ever received a message they were not ready for, from a source they could not explain. If you have ever had a dream that felt too specific to ignore but too strange to explain, you will feel every single minute of this one.
Because 2026 is here. And the dream is still coming.
Edgar doesn't lie.
P.S There is a giveaway somewhere inside.

Hey CheckMates, it's Check Edgar here!
In this chaotic, deeply personal, and completely unfiltered episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I take you inside what was supposed to be a simple birthday celebration. Good food, good music, good people. A day to feel appreciated and loved.
What I did not expect was betrayal. Friendship betrayal. The kind that makes you question why you even bother having friends in the first place.
Because on the day I was supposed to be celebrated, the people who were supposed to show up had other plans. And by "other plans," I mean they showed up in ways that will make you laugh first, then shake your head, then send this episode to your own friends as a warning.
This episode is for everyone who has ever organised something for themselves, trusted the wrong people with it, and ended up more exhausted than celebrated. If you have ever smiled through a birthday while dying inside, you will feel every single minute of this one.
Because Lagos does not care that it is your birthday. And apparently, neither do some people.
Edgar doesn't lie.

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.

This episode features my appearance on the So Nigerian Podcast, where we discuss the realities of being a Lagos bachelor—dating challenges, relationship dynamics, friendzone signals, awkward encounters, and the chaotic but hilarious world of love in Lagos.
The conversation covers ideal Lagos dates, why people struggle to find love in the city, and whether cheating can ever be considered a “mistake.” I also share some of my funniest dating stories, unfiltered takes, and dating apps.
Filled with humor, honesty, and real-life stories, this is a must-listen for anyone navigating modern relationships in Lagos.

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.

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.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
This episode starts with me in bed, dreaming of food because I’m fasting. Only for one loud Lagos bus horn to drag me back to reality. I look out the window, and boom… a moving truck. A new tenant. My dad did mention someone was coming, but I didn’t know it would be her.
Her name is Ada. Pretty. Glasses. Smart. Funny. The kind of neighbour you immediately start planning fake landlord lines for in your head. I went down to say hello, tried to act smooth… and still managed to fumble it. Didn’t even collect her number when she basically gave me a cue. Pain.
Just when I’m replaying the whole thing in my head, Collins calls. If you know Collins, you know the drama: stingy, unserious with women, and always reminding me of the ₦25k I owe him.
This episode is full of Lagos chaos, noisy horns, nosy neighbours, my internal monologues, and me trying (and failing) to act like I have game. It’s just the beginning of a three-part story: I Like My Neighbour, I Love My Neighbour, and maybe… I marry My Neighbour.
So plug in, laugh at my expense, and tell me, what should I do about Ada?

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another painfully honest episode of Why Am I Still Single? and this one? This one might just leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m., thinking about the one that got away.
Today’s episode is titled “T Junction”, but it’s not about cars or traffic. It’s about life, choices… and the kind of crossroads that can change everything.
In this episode, I take you into the story of a woman who trusted me enough to tell me her truth. A truth that scared me, not because she was wrong for me, but because I wasn’t ready for her world. I froze. I didn’t turn left, I didn’t turn right… I just stood there, and the road closed behind me.
You’ll feel the tension, the guilt, the “what if” that still haunts me today. And maybe… you’ll see your own T junctions in the story.
🎧 Tap in to hear how I walked away from something real, not because it wasn’t love, but because I wasn’t the man she needed me to be.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another painfully hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single? and this one? This one will leave your heart in your mouth and your pride in the gutter.
Today’s episode is titled “Friendzone” but not just any kind of friendzone. I’m talking about the kind where she cries on your chest… and then calls you her big brother. 😭
In this episode, I take you deep into the trenches of emotional warfare where the crush of my life cried in my arms after a breakup… and I thought heaven had finally answered my prayers. But instead? I found myself in the worst battlefield of all: the friendzone.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll clutch your chest and scream, “God abeg!”
🎧 Tap in to hear how I fumbled my shot, got promoted to sibling status, and learned the hard way that just because she’s crying on your shoulder… doesn’t mean you’re the chosen one.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another painfully hilarious episode of Why Am I Still Single? and this one? This one will make you side-eye every fork and knife in your kitchen drawer.
Today’s episode is titled “Fork & Knife”, and it’s not just about cutlery. It’s about shame, class, and how turkey wings ruined my love life.
In this episode, I walk you through the most awkward date I’ve ever had with a fine babe introduced to me by her brother, Demeji. It started with a Black native and big vibes… but ended with her judging my upbringing because I used my hand to eat turkey.
You’ll laugh. You’ll sigh. You’ll scream, “Just use the fork, Edgar!”
🎧 Tap in to hear how being “a celebrity” means I can’t lick soup, can’t crack bone, and apparently, can’t finish my food in peace.

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
In this explosive episode of Why Am I Still Single?, I take you back to 2020, the year I thought I was rising... until someone tried to ruin me with a sex tape I didn’t even know existed.
It started with a DM. A guy claiming I slept with his girlfriend. Then he said he had footage. Then he asked for 1 million naira or he’d leak it.
Now, here’s the twist, at the time, I was still a virgin.
What followed was blackmail, fake tears, a doctored voice note, a viral video on Naijapals (yes, Naijapals!), and one of the wildest experiences I’ve ever survived.
This isn’t just about a scandal; it’s about how fragile reputation can be, how dangerous clout chasing is, and why you should never tell someone “sorry” on the phone unless you’re recording it.
💣 Sit back, relax, and get ready for betrayal, comedy, panic, and maybe a little revenge.
Because this time, I wasn’t the one pranking, I was the target.Chat with Check Edgar

Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here!
Welcome to another mind-bending episode of Why Am I Still Single? and today, we’re entering the wild, deceptive world of Liars.
This episode is titled "Lila the LION", and trust me, the name fits. I’m breaking down the four types of liars you’ll meet in the dating jungle: The White Lie (they lie for peace), The Black Lie (they lie for gain), The Linus (they lie out of fear) And the Lions (they lie to dominate and impress).
And today’s Lion? An old friend I reconnected with on Instagram, who told me she was an Adeleke, Davido’s cousin, BurnaBoy’s little sister, and one of the richest girls in Lagos.
You already know this is about to be wild.
Tune in to find out how it all played out.📩 Got a long-distance dating disaster? Hit me up at [email protected].
