Valentine Baby

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.Send your thoughts and stories to [email protected] might read them during T.G.I.F. 4.Do you enjoy reading funny stories?
