On Episode 253 of Submaroach, TMT and Mayowa are joined by special guest Abimisola, host of Japa Diaries. The number one podcast about documenting the real experiences of African immigrants navigating life in the diaspora. This episode serves as a send-off before the boys take a well-earned break, and it’s packed with stories, reflections, and the usual insane humor. Abimisola shares her personal journey, how her background shaped her perspective, and what led her to create Japa Diaries. The conversation dives into the realities of japa life, identity, relocation, and the emotional and practical sides of starting over abroad. From there, things get very Submaroach and the boys spiral into conversations about dog names, random thoughts on Adobe (the company), family dynamics, and the surprisingly chaotic topic of not having driver’s licenses. They also revisit and review the Submaroach live show, sharing behind-the-scenes thoughts and audience reactions, before closing things out by trying (and mostly failing) to convince TMT to finally start enjoying travel. It’s insightful, funny, slightly unhinged, and the perfect way to cap things off before the break. Topics include: Japa Diaries podcast, African diaspora stories, immigration experiences, Nigerian podcast, travel conversations, family dynamics, Submaroach live show, comedy podcast Nigeria, relocation stories, lifestyle discussions. New episode out now.

On Episode 252 of Submaroach, TMT, Koj, and Mayowa return with another chaotic blend of politics, pop culture, and completely unnecessary personal revelations. The boys kick things off by unpacking Donald Trump’s Easter message to Iran, trying to make sense of the tone, timing, and what it says about global politics in 2025. From there, they dive into the rise of false prophet influencers—the internet personalities blurring the lines between political awareness, performance, and outright manipulation. Things take a reflective turn as they discuss their favourite actors getting older, what aging means in entertainment, and how audiences struggle to let go of certain eras. That naturally leads into a conversation about President Bola Tinubu’s age, leadership, and how age perception shapes public opinion in Nigeria. And because it’s Submaroach, the episode somehow also includes a completely unserious but deeply committed discussion about… TMT’s legs. As always, expect sharp takes, ridiculous tangents, and the kind of conversations that go from global politics to pure nonsense in seconds. Topics include: Donald Trump, Iran politics, false prophets, influencer culture, aging actors, President Tinubu, Nigerian politics, comedy podcast Nigeria, pop culture debates, Submaroach podcast.

On this episode of Submaroach, TMT and Koj discuss the worldwide campaign against swag. In no particular order, we're talking Timothee Chalamet (again), and the parallels between Marty Supreme and Diddy, Nigerian righteous indignation scaring people, and childhood trauma. The boys bounce around the ideas of working through depression, Korty's brilliant piece with Asake and TMT gives his review and experience of seeing Project Hail Mary at the theatre.

On Episode 249 of Submaroach, Koj, TMT, and Mayowa cover a wild range of topics—from deeply personal stories to internet nonsense and reality TV chaos. TMT opens up about childhood trauma and how early experiences shape the way people deal with conflict, relationships, and life as adults. The conversation then pivots to the internet, where the boys discuss the explosion of tribal impressions on TikTok. From there, they dive into shady property development in Lagos, the endless cycle of questionable real estate projects, and why buying property in the city sometimes feels like a gamble. Naturally, that leads into stories about Lagos traffic and road rage, including the strange psychology of how people behave once they get behind the wheel. The episode also detours into reality TV territory as the boys react to Michael and Angela’s breakup from 90 Day Fiancé and discuss the rise of chaotic dating shows like Pop the Balloon and Love Is Blind, and why audiences can’t stop watching messy relationships unfold. As always, the episode is packed with jokes, side tangents, and brutally honest takes on culture, relationships, and life in Lagos. Topics include: childhood trauma, TikTok tribal comedy, Lagos real estate issues, Lagos traffic and road rage, reality TV culture, 90 Day Fiancé, Love Is Blind, Pop the Balloon, Nigerian pop culture, comedy podcast Nigeria.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents Episode 248, “OZEMPIC LIVES MATTER – Part II,” hosted by TMT, Koj, and Mayowa. This week starts in the trenches of modern insecurity: pink lips, under-bridge beauty hacks, instant gratification, and the booming business of selling people relief from bodies they were taught to hate. The boys use Serena Williams, Oprah, and the whole GLP-1 era to ask a darker question: if even the richest, most decorated people in the world can still be got by insecurity, what exactly is capitalism doing to the rest of us? From there, it opens into a bigger conversation about media, ambition, and why America remains the greatest and worst country on earth: the kind of place where someone can raise millions for a football media product just because they believe hard enough. That leads into a proper Submaroach media summit — the boys sketch out what a real Nigerian football media company could look like, name their Mount Rushmore of Nigerian media, and side-eye the structures that make some ecosystems flourish while others are left begging telcos and betting companies for crumbs. They also get into the week’s current-events circus: Timothée Chalamet casually cooking opera and ballet, Canal+ swallowing Showmax, and Daniel Bwala embarrassing himself in public service of power. It becomes a wider riff on shamelessness, political attack dogs, and why journalism is not supposed to be government PR, no matter how badly some people want applause for bare minimum governance. Then the episode lands on the piracy debate, sparked by Big Jolls and a very online argument about books, access, and theft. The boys wrestle with the real tension at the heart of it: if the people downloading the books were never going to buy them anyway, who exactly is being robbed — and does that change the ethics of the act? It’s a classic Submaroach mix of body politics, Nigerian media, celebrity nonsense, political foolishness, and digital morality, all tied together with jokes sharp enough to cut through the discourse.

The boys are back and this week we're discussing the BAFTA's, The lack of Peace in the Middle East, AI as research, NEPO baby's over the age of 50. Koj gets into his new trivia project, Mayowa let's us in on some of his childhood lore and TMT talks about his new Tiktok project.

On Episode 246 of Submaroach, Koj, TMT, and Mayowa lean fully into the chaos. The title says it all. This one is generational tension, conspiracy conversations, fake romance pressure, and soft-life delusion all rolled into one. The boys revisit the rise of nepopiano , Afrobeats made by rich kids and ask whether it’s evolution, industry nepotism, or just old heads hating on the new wave. From there, they wade into the ever-murky waters of the Epstein files, internet speculation, power, and the public’s obsession with elite scandals. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, they break down Valentine’s Day plans, expectations vs. reality, and the silent financial stress attached to “romantic gestures.” That leads directly into stories about being hit on by strangers when it’s flattering, when it’s awkward, and when it’s just trauma dumping. Finally, the boys tackle the big one: economic anxiety. Is TMT quietly stressed? As always, it’s funny, sharp, slightly unhinged, and somehow still insightful. Topics covered: Nepopiano, Afrobeats culture, Epstein files discussion, Valentine’s Day pressure, dating stories, generational tension, Nigerian pop culture, economic anxiety, comedy podcast Nigeria. New episode out now.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “Your Toes are a Mess, You need to see a Pediatrician” hosted by TMT, Mayowa & Koj. A self-care mix-up becomes a doorway into the week: grooming, adulthood, and why your feet and your feelings both need maintenance. From there, the boys sprint through culture and campus—high-school rivalries, university choices, and school counselors who reroute destinies. Film heads get a quick review of One Battle After Another with character talk, plot notes, and what great performances teach us about representation. Pop culture and politics collide as Kanye’s latest apology sparks a bigger conversation on mental health, sincerity, platform responsibility, and why celebrity influence warps public discourse. The guys weave through moon-landing skeptics, messy headlines, and “fascists are winning” anxieties, all while keeping it funny, curious, and deeply human. It’s culture, film, sports, education, fashion, hair, Kanye, and current events—sharp takes with Submaroach mischief. Press play, book the pedicure, call your doctor, and carry on.

Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—presents “Seyi Tinubu’s Internet,” hosted by TMT & Koj. The boys kick off with money talk: childhood class realities, why degrees don’t guarantee a soft life, and how “education vs. wealth” plays out in real families. Geography nerdery slides in next: is Greenland effectively an extension of Denmark, and which country secretly wins the “most time zones” trick? (Hint: France.) Plus, Koj's trivia plans with Toronto Raptors tickets as the grand prize. Then Bible lore meets modern Lagos: King Solomon’s “split-the-baby” dilemma as a lens for frustration. Domestic life gets delicious: plating as a mental-health unlock, chicken love (and chicken slander), and the immortal wisdom that wraps are “an efficient transportation method.” (Salad & Bread) Fashion & Tumblr-core arrive with sunglasses-by-dictators, and the Lagos Millennial fashion crisis: too much “put it on,” not enough “authenticity.” Finally, internet culture proper: the Brooklyn-Peltz Beckham AI-handstand moment; “agenda” accounts reframing wedding clips into propaganda; and a chaotic IShowSpeed Lagos tour ranked by moments—baby hand-off, horseback riding, and speed's speedy legwork lesson. It’s wealth gaps, Bible parables, geography hot takes, plated lunches, Tumblr aesthetics, and the algorithm’s favorite sons—by the Submaroach boys.

On Episode 243 of Submaroach, Koj, TMT, and Mayowa are back with another wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation covering football drama, music culture, fitness delusions, and the future of storytelling. The boys break down the AFCON controversy involving Morocco, asking whether it was smart gamesmanship or straight-up cheating. They talk new music spcifically Asake and Wizkid's project and what that could entail. There’s a hilarious debate on what actually counts as a workout in 2025, followed by a sharp discussion on AI in storytelling, creativity, and whether machines are helping or quietly killing originality. The episode rounds out with a deep dive into “nepopiano”—Afrobeats made by rich kids—and what it says about class, culture, and gatekeeping in the Nigerian music industry. As always, it’s layered with jokes, hot takes, and side quests only Submaroach can deliver. Topics include:AFCON drama, Moroccan controversy, new Afrobeats music, fitness culture, AI and creativity, storytelling, Nepopiano, Nigerian pop culture, comedy podcast Nigeria.

Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria, presents “2026 Predictions: Nostradamus vs Adeboye,” hosted by Mayowa, TMT, and Koj. Quatrains meet altar calls as the boys translate two very different prophets for 2026. Nostradamus’ “thunderbolt” and “blood flowed” are remixed into cancel-culture hazards and pregnancy hopes. Pastor Adeboye’s 2026 notes include: “more remarkable than 2025,” stronger winds, more opportunities, less hunger, SMEs blooming, a touch of reverse JAPA, fewer chances of major war, and a hurricane watch; they become a point of contact for hope and survival. From there, it’s culture and sport: paying athletes on time (and why “disgrace the shameless” sometimes works), the art of grooming your kids into your football club, and a bold World Cup prophecy that has Declan Rice polishing a Ballon d’Or. Music heads get a Wizkid × Asake temperature check, while politicians get roasted for their palatial interior design choices and Ozempic. Farmers and the Middle Belt get their flowers, Harmattan gets side-eyed, and 2026 car lots are predicted to invent saner payment plans, because everybody deserves a clean whip. Personal prophecies land too: one truly viral guest, at least one live show, crypto finally paying rent, a 15-minute comedy taping, pickleball and squash supremacy, and, Insha’Allah, IG-approved abs. It’s predictions, prayers, hot takes, and practical optimism, the Submaroach way.

Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—presents Episode 241, “It’s 2026 and OkuntaKinte is still here???,” hosted by Mayowa, TMT & Koj. This week, the boys wade into Lagos’ underground queer party scene, discussing the implications of visibility and the dangers it poses to individuals within that community. It delves into the activism surrounding queer representation in Nigeria, the cultural dynamics within families, and reflections on significant events from 2025, including the death of a prominent figure and the rise of cultural memes among younger generations.

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.

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “We Must Credit Nnamdi Kanu & Mr Eazi for Detty December,” hosted by TMT & Koj. A quick Yoruba linguistics lesson kicks things off (“Ten is happening,” decoded), before the boys audit Detty December’s origin story: did Nnamdi Kanu inadvertently shift December migration patterns—and did Mr Eazi brand the season by popularising “Detty” through his many Detty events? They trade receipts, timelines, and jokes, then price-check the present: Lagos Airbnb listings touching $9,000 for 11 nights, plus a playful side quest blaming Maleek Berry’s “Eko Miami” for the city’s glossy rebrand. Finally, Spotify Wrapped enters the chat—Koj pulls a youthful Spotify “age” of 22, TMT clocks in at 73—and they dive into their top artists for 2025 before closing on a Nollywood riff inspired by the just-concluded S16 movie festival. It’s Yoruba lessons, Detty December origins, Afrobeats, rap music, Spotify Wrapped, and Nollywood—served with signature Submaroach mischief.
