A 17-Minute Walk and a Confession
DISCUSSION GROUP Koke walks to the gym, which takes 17 minutes on foot, and uses the time to give the update he promised after his earlier trip: how the podcast network and his December event are actually going. The original plan was five shows with a 12-episode season each. After reading how…

HOW TO BE SINGLE - THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO KOKE ⤱
DISCUSSION GROUP What if being single isn't a waiting room for your next relationship, but one of the most important periods of your life? Inspired by Karen Uzo's book How to Be Single, this episode explores what the host has learned from several periods of solitude throughout his life. From the...

SO HE CAN'T SPEAK YORUBA F.T MAYWEDA
DISCUSSION GROUP A gubernatorial candidate in Lagos gets asked a question in Yoruba and can't answer fluently — and overnight it becomes a referendum on who actually "owns" Lagos. Koke and a friend (unplanned, mic-still-warm energy throughout) unpack the Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour language…

WW III
Corrections Note A quick correction on a couple of things said in this episode: The strait referred to as "Al-Hammud" or "Al-Hermon" is actually the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the "Sea West Canal" mentioned alongside it is the Suez Canal — both real waterways along the Red Sea shipping corridor....
-
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😖
This one didn't come with a plan. Koke steps outside his own compound — a full-circle moment from where he used to record during the NYSC series — to just talk through three days of feeling off: a stalled business he's poured money and pitches into with nothing to show for it, a meditation…

That ugly NAFDAC woman wants you dead 💀
DISCUSSION GROUP Koke sat down to cook a simple Sunday lunch and realized he couldn't fully trust a single ingredient in it — the chicken, the salad cream, the seasoning, none of it. In this episode, he walks through just how deep Nigeria's fake-goods problem actually runs: adulterated meat and...
-
Our best people for their worse jobs❓How⁉️🤷♂️
BRAIN DROPPINGS DISCUSSION GROUP Why does a bank manager have to drive a truck for 18 months after moving abroad — and why do we call that resilience instead of asking why it's happening at all? Koke traces a pattern from migration and labor to advertising and self-image: how systems are built to...
-
You believe you have free will?🎭
Show Notes The philosophical case that free will is mostly an illusion — shaped by choices your parents and environment made before you ever had a say What propaganda actually is, and why the people most confident they can't be manipulated are often the easiest targets How propaganda operated in...
-
Negotiating Sexual Contracts
It's Koke's case for teaching people — starting from adolescence — how to actually understand and negotiate consent, rather than leaving it as something nobody ever explains clearly. He opens by breaking down consent as a spectrum rather than a single line: outright force is obviously rape, but…

God help me -- Because I Can't Fake Believing
Koke grew up Anglican — Sunday church, good clothes, a bottle of Mineral with lunch. Then at 10, three years after losing his mother, he was sent to a boarding school that worshipped on Saturdays instead of Sunday — and everything he thought was settled about faith started to unravel. In this...
-
Peter Obi cannot change Nigeria
Nigeria got independence in 1960 — but did it actually get freedom? In this episode, Koke breaks down geopolitics in plain terms: how loans from the IMF and World Bank come with hidden strings attached, how the Nigerian Civil War was shaped by foreign interference, and why countries like Burkina...

Getting in Early | 💵 The billionaire theory
Every billionaire got in early on something. Koke traces that idea back to a Ponzi scheme that cost him ₦1,000 in university, through the accidental discovery of podcasting in 2022, to the decision that's now becoming GoodLiving Podcast Network. This is the real-time unboxing of how a passion...

On my way to the Pitch ⚽️ | A manifestation story
A bus that won't fill up. A driver they say has bad energy. A race against a 6.30pm kickoff. In this real-time recorded episode, Koke narrates one ordinary Monday evening — and finds an unexpected lesson on manifestation hiding inside it. Not a lecture. A story, told as it happened, with the...

The Olodo Uprising🤪
There is a name for something you have been watching happen for years. The Olodo Uprising — a slow cultural shift away from intellectualism and toward the celebration of stupidity — has been building in Nigeria's music, comedy, governance, and everyday life. In this episode, Koke traces how it...
-
⏳At 26 you still haven't...
In this episode, Koke unpacks the aspirational timeline, the social expectation, and the specific, uneven pressure that lands on women when they fail to meet it. From old Nollywood to the church pew to the auntie at the family -- the expectation is everywhere. Nobody agreed to it. Nobody can even...
-
Ads are coming to Whatsapp. Yayy 😂
They are putting ads on WhatsApp. The one app most Nigerians use for everything -- family, business, community, privacy. And if you are surprised, Koke thinks you should not be. Because this was always where it was going. In this episode, he traces the line from the moment these platforms…

👁️🎭 Shady people cannot see honest people| that is why they keep losing. They assume everyone is like them
You turned off your WhatsApp blue tick. Maybe to avoid confrontation. Maybe to buy yourself time. Maybe just because you do not want people knowing when you have seen their messages. But it says something. And we think you already know what it says. In this episode, we build a full argument for…

🤔 If schools teach professions, why not teach prostitution too?
The prostitutes of the future are in primary school right now. So are the armed robbers, the cultists, the bad politicians. We know this. So why are we not doing anything about it? That is the question this episode is actually asking. Koke works through a genuine philosophical argument about...

The Nigerian Rent Problem |🏠😤 Lagos agents doubled a landlady's rent from N400k to N800k without telling her. This is why you're paying what you're paying.
Lagos has between 18 and 22 million residents. A housing deficit running into millions of units. And if you are a young person who just moved here, a self-contained apartment now starts at N800,000 a year. If you are lucky. Koke just finished house hunting in Lagos. This episode is the full...

🔴⚪ To my fellow champions🏆
Arsenal are champions. 22 years. This is a bonus episode: not the usual GoodLiving format. This one is for the Arsenal fans. And for everyone who has ever been the underdog.

If it could happen to Frank? WHO TF IZ U?!🙆🏾♂️
How much money does a man have to make? How much fame? How much sense? What does it actually take to avoid the kind of public embarrassment Frank Edoho is going through right now? This episode isn't about Frank Edoho or Chike specifically, the full truth of what happened between them isn't fully...

NYSCeries Day 334 | 😩 How much $ to avoid queues forever till I die abeg?
The NYSCeries is back. Day 334. Final clearance. After months of sporadic recording, Koke returns to the series to document the day his NYSC service officially started winding down; final clearance, hundreds of corpers, one room, and a queue that had no respect for anybody. He also sits with...

Why it feels like your phone is listening P.S It's not just your phone
Your phone isn't listening to you. It doesn't need to. In this episode, Kokeboi breaks down the actual mechanism behind why your ads feel so personal, from the tags that record everything you do on a website, to the cookies that follow you across the entire internet, to the device fingerprinting...

⛪🚫 Why I don't go to church | My 2023 explanation still stands |
In March 2023, Kokeboi recorded an episode about why he doesn't go to church. Two years later, people are still asking him the same question. His answer hasn't changed. So instead of re-recording it from scratch, he's doing something GoodLiving has never done before, handing the episode over to…

🤝🏚️ There are only two types of Nigerians. And one side knows it | the other doesn't.
This is the final episode of GoodLiving's Nigerian leadership history series — covering 1914 to 1999 across three episodes. In this episode, Koke stops narrating and starts drawing conclusions. After weeks of research into Nigeria's political history, the colonial handover, the coups, the oil…

`1970 - 1999 | History they should have taught you in school [PART.2]
I strongly believe that, to understand the present, one needs a good understanding of the past. This episode is a narrative of the movement of power between the period just after the civil war in 1970, until we started our democratic governement in 1999. SOURCES: A history of Nigeria by Jide...

You 🫵🏽 and the 🇳🇬Nigerian Civil War | History they should’ve taught you in school
When young people in Nigeria become apathetic toward their history and politics, the consequences can be deeply damaging to the nation’s future. A lack of historical awareness makes it easier for misinformation to spread, allowing past mistakes: such as ethnic conflicts and governance failures to...

👀🧒 Somebody younger than you is copying everything you do. They just haven't told you.
You are already somebody's example. You probably don't know who. And you definitely didn't consent to it. In this episode, Koke gets into something that keeps him up at night, the weight of being watched by people who are copying you without saying a word. The teenage boy in your compound. The...

💡🤝 Light bulb manufacturers secretly agreed to make their bulbs weaker. What if they're doing the same thing to you?
In 1925, light bulb manufacturers could make a bulb that lasted over 3,000 hours. By 1930, the biggest companies in the world had secretly met in Geneva and agreed to cap that lifespan at 1,000. Not because they couldn't do better. Because if the bulb lasted forever, nobody would keep buying.…

✨📡 Why good things keep happening to people who already have everything — and how to become one of them
Why does it seem like good things always happen to people who already have everything and the person who's struggling, who actually needs a break, keeps getting nothing? Koke has a theory. And it's not luck In this episode, he unpacks the concept of frequency — the idea that the energy and...

🤝💔 Conflict delayed is conflict multiplied — what nobody tells you about keeping friendships
Most friendships don't end in a fight. They end in a hundred small things that were never said. A slight that felt too minor to bring up. A word that landed wrong. A moment where you felt unseen and let it go. And then another. And another. Until one day you realise you don't feel the same way...

🧠⚔️ The world is getting dumber on purpose. Here's how to protect yourself.
Tough times create strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. Weak people create tough times. We are somewhere in that cycle right now. And Koke thinks we are not the strong part. In this episode, he builds a theory about why the world is genuinely getting…

🏥💸 Nigeria allocated 400 billion naira for healthcare. Only 36 million was disbursed. Where did the rest go?

I hate rapists. I also think the way Nigerians talk about rape online is making it worse.
Every year in Nigeria, something happens. A woman is assaulted. The internet erupts. And then — nothing changes. Koke thinks part of the reason nothing changes is because of how the conversation is being had. In this episode, he makes a clear, uncomfortable argument: rapists are not men. They are...

My dad died at 67. I thought I had more time with him. I was wrong.
My father died at 67. My mother died at 36. And for years, i told himself he had time. Time to fix things. Time to travel with my dad. Time to show my parents the life i was building. Time to start eating right, saving money, and so on. I didn't. This episode is about the bias nobody talks about…

Why Nigerians decide who "deserves" to be a victim — and why that's dangerous
There's a bias most of us carry without knowing it. And it shapes who we think deserves justice, sympathy, and basic human decency. It's called the perfect victim bias: the idea that when someone is wronged, how much we care about their suffering depends on our pre-existing judgement of who they...
