Our Thing Called Life

Send us Fan Mail This episode starts off a little more mellow than usual as we catch up on life and discuss why Oyinlola has been a bit sad lately. Don’t worry though, the energy picks up! You can’t keep a bad bitch down for too long!!! We then get into a conversation about body image and just how comfortable Nigerian adults seem to feel commenting on other people’s bodies, whether they’ve been in...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we discuss all things romance, from the excitement of the early stages of liking someone to the simple desire to be romanced properly. (Off Campus hive, stand up!!!!!!) We also dive into Ayowande's experience as a corper, what NYSC actually means for young Nigerians and whether it's still worth doing in 2026. Then we get into a conversation about home, indepen...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is genuinely such a good one! We spent some time catching up on life before getting into relationships with parents, growing older and what it looks like to become your own person while still trying to give your parents grace especially when you’ve grown up in a culture that expects things to look a very specific way. We also introduced a brand new segment: Oyi...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another chaotic episode! The intention was a beautifully structured podcast, but unfortunately technological issues meant we had to re-record this episode, which, if you know us by now, naturally led to chaos. This week, we spoke about sharing your significant other on social media, bullying on TikTok and people’s growing reliance on AI for everything - including c...

Send us Fan Mail Is this thing on? We’re so sorry… we left you for four weeks. That was not the plan, but life has very much been lifing. We promise this is the last time we disappear like that (no, really) . This is actually a very fun episode. In this one, we have an open and honest conversation about sex and how much thought we’re actually putting into the people we’re sleeping with (hypothetic...

Send us Fan Mail Your Friday just got a lot better becauseee episode 4 is finally here! This week, it's a proper catch-up. We talk about anxiety, the pressure to have it all together and whether our self-worth is a bit too wrapped up in what we do for work. We also get into the sheer madness that is Nigerian wedding attendees because how did we get here??? Let us know your thoughts! Are we on...

Send us Fan Mail Better late than never! Please forgive us for our tardiness this week. We ran into a few technical issues, but we are just so dedicated to the cause that we still managed to get an episode out (oya clap for us 🤭) In this one, we talk about the globalisation of culture and just how much American culture has seeped into every corner of the world (whether we like it or not). We also...

Send us Fan Mail Look who made it back for episode 2! We're guessing this means we've made your list of favourite podcasts? 👀 This is a proper "getting to know us" episode. We're talking about who we are, telling a few stories and probably (read as definitely) oversharing a little along the way.  And yes, we were drinking again (sue us!)  We'll try to behave in episo...
