Thin Line Between Religion & Obsession Pt 2
Got any dilemmas you want us to unpack send it here sonigerian.com/Dilemma Click the link to get your tickets to the live show: https://events.eggcorndigital.com/presale/sn-bf4b68bf We kicked off a conversation about religious extremism, and this week, we're taking it a little further. When does being religious become taking things too far? From religious indoctrination and blind faith to people using God's name to justify questionable behavior, there's still plenty to unpack. In this continuation, Dami and Isaac sit with Taiwo, a Muslim guest to explore religious extremism across Christianity and Islam. They discuss how people become extremists, the influence of religious leaders, how religious beliefs can be manipulated, and why some people find it difficult to question the beliefs they've been taught. They also explore the similarities between extremism in both religions and the fine line between genuine faith and fanaticism. It's another honest conversation about religion, accountability and what happens when faith starts doing a little too much Enjoy The Episode !! 💚 JOIN THE WHATSAPP CHANNEL: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBii6eLtOjA3h8LHg2B FOLLOW US ON: http://twitter.com/sonigerian_ http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_ http://x.com/damiar0s http://instagram.com/_damiiaros7 http://x.com/medici__i https://instagram.com/medici.i Hosted on Acast.

Are You Religious or Just Doing Too Much?
Got any dilemmas you want us to unpack send it here sonigerian.com/Dilemma Get tickets to the live show: https://events.eggcorndigital.com/presale/sn-bf4b68bf Religion, faith, and the fine line between devotion and extremism. When does being deeply religious become taking things too far? From blind faith and religious intolerance to the use of religion to justify harmful beliefs and actions, we're getting into the conversations people are sometimes too uncomfortable to have. In this episode, Dami and Isaac unpack religious extremism, the influence of religious beliefs on everyday life, and where we should draw the line between practising your faith and imposing it on others. They also tackle some listener dilemmas, offering their usual takes, opinions, and perhaps a little bit of drama along the way. It's an episode about faith, freedom, accountability, and knowing when things are getting out of hand.

Your Candidate Is Not Your Soulmate
Got any dilemmas you want us to unpack send it here sonigerian.com/Dilemma Get tickets to the live show: https://events.eggcorndigital.com/presale/sn-bf4b68bf With the 2027 elections fast approaching, it’s time to have some uncomfortable conversations about Nigeria, the state of the nation, and the people we keep putting in power. From the failures of the current APC government to the rising cost of living and the everyday struggles Nigerians have to deal with, how much more are we willing to take before we start demanding better? In this episode, Dami and Isaac sit with Mayowa to discuss the state of Nigeria under the APC government, the role tribalism continues to play in our politics, and how it has become a tool for dividing young Nigerians who should otherwise be united by the same struggles. Why do we allow political affiliations and ethnic differences to get in the way of holding our leaders accountable? And with the 2027 elections approaching, can young Nigerians finally put these differences aside and work together towards a better Nigeria? The conversation also gets into the people who enjoy the benefits of good governance abroad but still defend a political system that struggles to provide those same standards back home. How do you leave Nigeria in search of better opportunities, experience what functional governance looks like, and still insist that things are going well back home? Is it party loyalty, tribal sentiment, or simply refusing to admit that the people you support might be getting it wrong? From political loyalty and misplaced priorities to the need for young Nigerians to look beyond tribe and party lines, Dami, Isaac, and Mayowa get into the conversations we need to be having before the next election. Because at the end of the day, we all have to live with the consequences of the choices we make. So, are we ready to put Nigeria first, or are we going to keep defending our favourites while the country suffers?

This episode is brought to you by REWRD. www.getrewrd.com SEND US YOUR DILEMMAS: sonigerian.com/Dilemma Are Nigerians actually loyal to brands, or are we just loyal to whoever gives us the best deal? From switching supermarkets because of a discount to choosing one food spot over another because of great customer service, the way we spend our money says a lot about what we value. In this episode of So Nigerian Podcast, we sit down with Amaka, Product Manager at Rewrd, to unpack how Nigerians shop, what keeps us coming back to certain businesses, and why customer loyalty is changing. Together, we explore why traditional loyalty programmers often miss the mark, the role of technology in improving customer experiences, and how businesses can build lasting relationships beyond just offering discounts. Amaka also breaks down how Rewrd’s connected rewards ecosystem is helping customers earn more value from their everyday spending while helping businesses retain loyal customers. Whether you’re a consumer looking to get more from your everyday purchases or a business owner wondering how to keep customers coming back, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Grief Has No Timeline!
Please Watch, Comment & Like https://youtu.be/Ycc8SWfEayw?si=-PJMnjBmCqHXBWW6 This week on So Nigerian Podcast, we’re joined by Betty for a deeply honest conversation about losing her mum, navigating life after such a life-changing loss, and the reality of grieving in Nigeria. Betty shares how her mum fell ill for three months before passing away just days before the New Year, the emotional weight of those final months, and what it has been like learning to live with her absence. Together, we talk about the unexpected ways grief shows up, the things people say that help (and the ones that don’t), and why Nigerians often don’t give people enough room to grieve before expecting them to “move on.” This is a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, healing, and the reminder that grief doesn’t have a timeline. If you’ve ever lost someone or are supporting someone through loss, we hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone.

Behind Nigeria's Loan App Industry
We are Back!! So Nigerian Podcast returns with a brand new season and we’re kicking things off with a conversation unlike any we’ve had before. Loan apps have become a lifeline for many Nigerians, but they’ve also gained a reputation for relentless calls, public shaming, and aggressive debt recovery tactics. We’ve all heard the stories from borrowers, but what does it look like from the other side? In this episode, we sit down with Ibukun, a former loan app collector, to uncover what really happens behind the scenes. From how collectors are recruited and trained to the pressure of meeting recovery targets, Ibukun shares an honest look at the realities of the job, the controversial tactics used to recover debts, and the ethical questions that came with it.

He Said He Loved Me… After I Got a Boyfriend 😭
As the season comes to a close, Dami and Isaac take a step back to look at everything that made it what it was — the moments, the madness, and the episodes that really stood out. From their personal favourite conversations to the ones that sparked the most reactions, they revisit the highlights of the season and share why certain episodes hit a little deeper than others. It’s honest, nostalgic, and filled with the kind of behind-the-scenes reflections you don’t always get to hear. They also give a glimpse into what’s next for the podcast — what they’re hoping to do differently, what listeners can expect next season, and how they plan to level up. If you’ve been listening all season, this one feels like a well-earned debrief. And if you’re just catching up, consider this your guide to what you might have missed. Enjoy the episode!
