    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is called Red Light Revelation, and trust me, this one’s a rollercoaster of discovery, denial, and some hard-to-ignore red flags.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my short-lived romance with Uju, a mysterious and stunning woman I met at a local store. What began as a simple act of kindness on my part, paying for her peak milk to stop a heated argument, quickly turned into something more. From constant late-night messages to early-morning exhaustion, everything seemed fine...until the signs began to emerge. Uju's work, supposedly as a personal assistant, seemed to hide secrets that didn’t add up.

    Things got complicated the day I went to visit her apartment and found some... well, questionable items lying around. But the real twist? One night, Fela, my friend, went to perform at a club and saw her there—in a mask, dancing as a stripper. Confrontations and denials followed, but the biggest shock was yet to come.

    A final encounter revealed her hidden life and a heartbreaking story that shaped who she is today. This episode dives into the challenges of dating someone with a complex past, the clash between appearances and reality, and the fine line between love and losing yourself in trying to "fix" someone.

    If you’ve ever been blindsided by love or caught off-guard by a secret, you’re going to relate to this episode. So, grab your headphones, sit back, and listen to Red Light Revelation. And, as always, remember—Edgar doesn’t lie. Check Edgar out!

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled Five Star Ride, and let me tell you—this one’s a wild journey.

    This episode is all about Ebuka, a guy who started as a star employee at Mr. Biggs and then switched things up to become an Uber driver with a gift for making people laugh. What seemed like just another workday took a crazy turn when he picked up a new passenger. From laughter to tragedy, Ebuka’s story is packed with twists you won’t see coming, and it left me with a lesson on how fast life can flip in unexpected ways.

    It’s a story about ambition, temptation, and how a single choice can change everything. If you’ve ever had to choose between a thrill and your dreams, this episode is for you. So sit back, tune in, and let’s dive into the highs and lows of life’s biggest lessons.

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled Faith or Feelings, and trust me, this one hits close to home.

    In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most unforgettable relationships of my life—a story of love and faith that pushed me to rethink everything I thought I knew. I fell for Amina, a remarkable Muslim woman, during the End SARS protests. But as our connection grew, so did the realization that we were up against some pretty big obstacles. From family reactions to the delicate balance between respecting her beliefs and honoring my own, this journey taught me what it really means to care about someone without trying to change who they are.

    It’s a story of romance, respect, and hard choices—where we ask, when it comes to love, how much are we really willing to sacrifice?

    Whether you’ve been in a relationship that tested your beliefs or just wondered how love can cross boundaries, this episode is for you. So sit back, listen in, and let’s talk about the delicate line between faith and feelings.

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another episode of Why Am I Still Single? Today’s episode is titled Pick 2, Last Card, Check Up, and it's a deep dive into the highs and lows of fame.

    This week, I'm sharing some wild stories from my DMs, unpacking the good, the bad, and the downright crazy that comes with having a bit of the spotlight. Fame’s a lot like a card game: you’ve got to “Pick Two” carefully—maybe money or peace of mind—and always keep a "Last Card" handy, just in case things get intense.

    Stick around for some real talk on how to keep your sanity, protect your peace, and keep it all in check. It’s a big thank you to all of you who keep me grounded and bring that fire every week.

    Hey CheckMates, it’s Check Edgar here! Welcome to another episode of "Why Am I Still Single?" Today’s episode is titled 6 Feet Deep, and trust me, this one cuts deep.

    In this episode, I’m diving into a story I’ve held onto for a long time—one that changed the way I see myself and the power of words. It’s about a time when something I said left scars, not just on others, but on me too. Words can bury you alive, sometimes 6 feet deep, and this episode shows just how true that can be.

    It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that what we say can either lift people up or push them down—sometimes forever.

    Whether you’ve said something you regret or been on the receiving end of hurtful words, this episode is for you. So sit back, listen in, and let’s talk about the things we wish we’d left unsaid.

    Hey CheckMates, Check Edgar with another intriguing episode of Why Am I Still Single? In this episode, I dive into my worst experience on a blind date—one that left me both speechless and scarred for life. Meet Loveth, a lady from Ibadan with a literal twist on the phrase "love is blind." She had an eye problem that made her partially blind, but that wasn't the only surprise in store. With a strong Ibadan accent and a hilariously pronounced "H Factor" in her speech, she took me on a wild ride I wasn't ready for.

    Tune in as I recount this bizarre encounter, and let's laugh together at how "love is blind" took on a whole new meaning for me. You don’t want to miss this!

    Hey CheckMates, Check Edgar with another intriguing episode of Why Am I Still Single? In this episode, I introduce you to Christine, a lady who made me fall in love with going to church. But as I got closer to her, I discovered she carried some serious hidden baggage.

    Christine wasn’t just a true church girl—she had a deep fascination with the dark arts, a strange fear of birds and water, and was haunted by a terrifying dream about her death. This episode uncovers the chilling side of a relationship that started in the most unexpected places.

    Tune in to hear how this bizarre and eerie chapter of my dating life unfolded, and what it taught me about the importance of truly knowing someone before falling too deep.
