관계 편향| The One With B - On Relationship Biases and Parental Influences: Episode 25 (2021)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents:

After saying no consistently for a year, and the parents disapproving of the marriage based on ethnic differences for a while, B eventually got married to her heartthrob. B is a Nigerian in Canada who has been happily married for seven years. She has been very supportive of this podcast and this time, we had her share her journey before getting married to her husband; from finally giving him a yes after initially being turned off by his advances to getting her mum’s consent. She believes her relationship is not a template, but her story is an inspiring one you will learn a lot from.

In this episode, B talks about growing in love, especially when one’s spouse does not come in the initial package as expected. She also shares how she was able to get past her mum’s bias about her husband’s tribe.

Here is an interesting episode you will enjoy. Listen in and let us know what you think!

PS: (Ladies, especially), do not waste anyone's time as much as you don't want anyone wasting yours.

여자가 원하는 것| The One with Dr. Taiwo Adedipe and Dr. Ibukun Sonaike – On What Women Want: Episode 15 (2021)

This week we're signing off on The Relationship Series; we hope you have enjoyed the episodes so far. For the final episode of the series, I have Dr. Ibukun and TDawg as my guests.

Dr. Ibukun is from Lagos, Nigeria, where he received his medical degree. He worked as a primary care physician before studying public health and epidemiology at the graduate level. He currently resides in Washington, where he is training in pediatric critical care, and hopes to improve healthcare in resource-limited settings, especially for very sick children.

In this episode, TDawg and Dr. Ibukun talked about their dating experiences. I got to ask them some burning questions that women want answers to regarding situationships, cheating, and what single women are doing wrong in their search for the right man. TDawg also shared some marriage tips with Dr. Ibukun, who is recently engaged.

To round off this series and allow you to interact with the guests, I am hosting a live Singles Panel Discussion this weekend. If you have enjoyed the series, then you are going to love the LIVE show even more.

미혼 여성의 삶: The One with Jirade Bepo - On Being Single: The Female Perspective: Episode 12 (2021)

In continuation of our ongoing relationship series, we will be talking about the female perspective of being single.

Our guest is Mojirade Bepo, a God-lover with a unique and special personality. She studied Hotel and Catering Management at Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos, and is the CEO of Jirade Diadem; a Catering Outfit specialized in producing indigenous dry snacks. She also doubles as my c̶r̶a̶c̶k̶ plantain chips supplier (erhmerhgerd, they are so delish!).

She enjoys telling edifying stories and is passionate about seeing families well established with priorities set right. For fun, she loves to travel, sing, and dance.

In this episode, Jirade was candid about her journey as a single lady in her early forties, letting us in on the emotional challenges and the social discrimination she has endured on account of being single, as well as how she overcame them. We also talked extensively about how she handled the negative emotions that arose with the wedding of her younger siblings, managing loneliness, and her hopes for the future.

Jirade left nothing on the table in this conversation; listen to get all the details.

PS: If you are in Nigeria and need some decadent dry snacks like p'chips and chinchin, hit my girl Jirade up via here: 08034116905 or on IG @jiradeventures. Trust me, one taste, and you are hooked. Why? Ten years later, I am still hooked, haha.

미혼 남자의 삶| The One with Akinola Akinlawon – On Being Single: The Male Perspective: Episode 11 (2021)

미혼 남자의 삶| The One with Akinola Akinlawon – On Being Single: The Male Perspective: Episode 11 (2021)

We are dedicating this month to all our single listeners and kicking off this relationship series with the male’s perspective on singlehood. To do justice to this topic is Akinola Akinlawon.

Akin, popularly referred to as “A.K.,” is a technocrat, critical thinker, gaming enthusiast, strategist, and friend with a reputation for being an architect of individual and organizational positive change. He earned his bachelor’s degree with honors in computer science from Cameron University in Oklahoma and has served as a leader in various capacities while being awarded numerously for his visionary involvement, commitment, and academic excellence. He holds a Master’s degree in Management of Information Systems at the University of Houston and owns an independent I.T. consulting business called Digital Designs and Engineering. He spends his spare time as a teacher, pianist, and poet.

In this episode, Akin shared his reasons for being single and was vulnerable enough to give us exclusive information about his previous unsuccessful relationships and the lessons he learned. We also discussed his opinion on males feeling intimidated by independent women, reasons why men “ghost” women, and of course, we attempted to answer the age-old question, “where are all the good guys?”

Akin dropped some hot tips for single ladies who are searching and hoping to be found. Listen and thank him later.
