Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—is back.

This week, TMT & Koj dig into a truth every Millennial in the diaspora eventually learns: no matter how far you travel, you can’t outrun the Naij inside of you.

  • The Millennial Reality Check: The boys open with the “Millennial Dream” and the corporate bias that still favors the married-with-kids crowd. From ballot boxes to boardrooms, they land on a thesis: the world isn’t as progressive as it pretends—everywhere has a conservative spine, just like Naij.
  • Wedding Warfare & “The Bottle Guy”: What does it take to survive a 700-person Nigerian wedding as a sober person? TMT breaks down his promotion to “The Bottle Guy”—part event planner, part logistics wizard, part miracle worker—and the pressure of delivering a brother-of-the-bride toast to a sea of aunties and expectations.
  • Why Shelter Is… Sexy: Domestic life gets spicy as Koj chronicles furniture hunts and couch lust. They argue for lived-in homes over sterile showrooms—ditch the museum vibes, keep the joy, make your house feel like yours.
  • The Anti-Hustle Manifesto: A liberating reminder for the burnt-out millennial: not everything needs a side hustle. Take the jiu-jitsu class, throw clay at a pottery studio, pick up a guitar just to be bad at it. Adults are allowed to learn for the sake of being human.

Culture, weddings, furniture thirst, and soft rebellion—proof that Nigeria isn’t just a place; it’s a pattern you’ll keep recognizing everywhere. Press play.
