Let's Controverse S2. Ep. 1 - Ride Or Die

Ride or Die: a colloquial expression of extreme loyalty to someone or something.

How far would you go to prove your loyalty to your loved ones and how far do you expect them to go to prove their loyalty to you?

This tends to be a tricky situation, especially in cases that involve two people who you hold dear to your heart, take for example, a situation between your significant other and your best friend.

We tried as much as possible to lay out our opinions on this matter in this episode, which features an anonymous guest.

Let's Controverse Ep. 11 - Should I Go? Should I Stay?

We've got TWO questions for you.

❓First off, would you rather:
Have your significant other confess to you that he or she was unfaithful? OR That he or she doesn't tell you because in your opinion and in this scenario, what you don't know won't hurt you In other words, "Ignorance is Bliss"?

❓Second question:
If your significant other caught you cheating and forgave you, would you rather:
Stay in that relationship, even though there is a possibility that he or she would use your infidelity against you in the long run? OR End the relationship because of your guilt and belief that he or she would never completely forgive you?

We share our individual choices and reasons on this episode, featuring an anonymous guest. Give it a listen and don't forget to drop your comments as well.

Let's Controverse Ep. 10 - LGBTQIA...XYZ

Let's be honest, it's kind of hard to keep up with the LGBTQ community because new sexual orientations keep springing up every now and then.

But that doesn't mean one shouldn't respect opinions and decisions about such sexual preferences, no matter how odd they might seem.

We try our possible best on this episode, to dissect the ideology behind these various sexualities and share our understanding and findings based on what we have experienced or come across in our minimal (certainly not extensive) research.

Listen in and as always, don't hesitate to share your views.

Let's Controverse Ep. 9 - Are You REALLY Okay?

There's a very thin line between Sadness, Depression, and Suicide.
This is why, amongst several other reasons, spreading awareness about mental health cannot be overemphasized.

Have you asked your loved ones how they REALLY are...if they are REALLY okay?

If you haven't, this episode is a (subtle) reminder that you should.

Per usual, we hope you share your feedback, and probably experiences, on this topic.

Let's Controverse Ep. 8 - It's Not Me, It's You

Dating in the 21st century can be a whirlwind, even though ideally, it shouldn't be. But it is what it is, right?

On this episode, we give our own perspective based on our dating experiences and share how communication, especially from the get-go, would be a better 'directive' towards making dating an easier, straightforward, and seamless process for both genders.

Give it a listen and let's know your opinion on this.

IWD 2021 Special Episode: Ever Heard About PCOS?

In celebration of International Women's Day, we focus on women's health in relation to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, otherwise known as PCOS, a hormonal disorder common among most women that surprisingly, most of us are not aware of.

Jenny shares her experience based on symptoms, which are often overlooked, and how PCOS can be managed.

In this episode, we #ChooseToChallenge the stereotype on women with PCOS, which more often than not is caused by ignorance.

Let's Controverse Ep.7 - The Older The Berry

They say the older the berry, the sweeter the juice. Apparently, this also applies in romantic relationships as well.

This time, we won't focus on the controversy that is older men dating way younger women, which is usually the norm.

Let's flip the script.

Ever wondered why some younger men find older women attractive and vice versa? We give a few reasons (based on research) and offer our own opinions on each of them.

Per usual, we would love to hear your own views and experiences on this topic as well.

Let's Controverse Ep.6 - Who's The Father?

This one's for the men - how would you react if you fathered a child for several years, perhaps some months, or even just a few days, only to realize that the child is not yours?

Looking at it from another angle, maybe the baby was swapped in the hospital and your wife or simply put, the mother, is as innocent as you are. Just...maybe.

Listen in and let us know your thoughts on this DNA test controversy that's become quite the 'trend' these days.

Let's Controverse Ep.5 - Packaging

Is 'faking it till you make it' really such a bad thing to adopt in the society we live in today? Or is it a practice that tends to tarnish one's self esteem? Are there some scenarios where applying this ideology is a step in the right direction of what somebody may want to achieve in the long run? Or is it simply a negative reaction to peer pressure?

On this episode, we share our own thoughts on what we Nigerians term as 'Packaging'. Listen in and tell us your own opinion.

Let's Controverse Ep.4 - How Much Is Too Much?

This episode sheds some light on content creation and some extreme measures that a large group of content creators take in a bid to drive engagement on their social media platforms or to boost sales of products and services. Such measures could seem unemphatic and more often than not hurt those directly involved in certain 'not-so-little' ways, which might be misunderstood or shunned by the wider audience, usually those drawn to such content.

So we ask our listeners one question - when is going too far with content creation indeed too far?

Let's Controverse Ep.3 - Man Box

Let's talk about certain standards that society expects from the male gender and qualities that more often than not make men seem less 'manly'. Effeminacy. Interest in women's fashion. Being highly emotional. Are these really traits that should be associated with just women? Let's know your opinions on this topic.

Let's Controverse Ep.2 - The Blame Game

In this episode, we focus on pregnancy delays and childbirth complications - who is to blame? The man or the woman? Why do people feel the need to point fingers at either of them? We also touch on IVF and surrogacy - is it ideal for couples to have either as an option to start a family? Or should they hope and aim to bring life into the world the 'natural' way? Listen in and we would love to hear your thoughts.
