YourPenship Pod is a heartfelt, witty podcast that captures the unfiltered realities of navigating Lagos as a young adult, one story at a time. It’s where storytelling meets survival, where drama meets traffic, and where love letters are written to cities that don’t always love us back.
DEAR LISTENER,
Welcome to Yourpenship: still becoming.
In this episode, “In the Waiting (The Story I Really Wanted to Tell),” Miss Vera takes us behind the pages of her recently launched book to share the heart, inspiration, and story behind it.
Waiting is rarely easy. Sometimes, it’s the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next. Other times, it’s watching life unfold for everyone else while you’re still trusting that your own story will make sense. And in the middle of it all, there are lessons, questions, and moments that shape who we become.
I opened up a conversation about the waiting season, the stories we carry, and what it means to keep going when life doesn’t happen on our timeline.
Because sometimes, the waiting isn’t just the time before the story begins. It’s part of the story itself.
We want to hear from you!
• Have you ever been in a season of waiting that changed your perspective on life?
• What has waiting taught you about yourself, your faith, or your journey?
• If your current season of life were a book, what would you title it?
We’d love to hear your story. Your experiences, reflections, and lessons might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Nobody Gave Us the Adulthood Manual
DEAR LISTENER,
Welcome to Yourpenship ✍️. In this episode, we sit down with Vera David to talk about the unexpected realities of adulthood, the career decisions, changing friendships, uncertainty, comparison, and the pressure to somehow have everything figured out.
Adulthood was supposed to come with answers. Instead, nobody gave us the manual 😂.
From wondering if you’re on the right career path, to watching your friends seemingly move ahead, to navigating friendships that no longer feel the same, we explore what it really means to grow up when there’s no clear roadmap.
Maybe adulthood isn’t about having all the answers. Maybe we’re all just figuring it out.
We want to hear from you!
What’s something about adulthood nobody warned you about?
Have you ever felt pressured to have your life figured out?
What’s one thing you’re still learning as you grow?

Rain, Rides, and the Owa That Got Away
DEAR LISTENER,
Welcome to Yourpenship: Loving Lagos. In this episode, “Rain, Rides, and the Owa That Got Away,” we dive into the storms, danfo rides, and little Lagos lessons that make everyday life on the mainland unforgettable.
From flooded streets where children turn plastic bowls into boats, to danfo conductors shouting with lungs of steel, to the eternal struggle of saying “Owa!” at the right time, we uncover how Lagos chaos somehow always leaves room for humor, fellowship, and kindness.
If you’ve ever whispered instead of shouted at your bus stop, waded through knee-deep water just to get home, or shared an umbrella with a stranger, this one’s for you.
We want to hear from you!
• What’s your wildest danfo memory?
• Have you ever missed a stop because you couldn’t get the “Owa” out?
• What surprising kindness has Lagos shown you on a rainy day?

HOUSING PALAVA: Flat Hunting & Other Near-Death Experiences
DEAR LISTENER,
Welcome to Yourpenship: and in this season of Loving Lagos, this episode captures the grit, humor, and heart of surviving and thriving in Africa’s busiest city.
In this episode, we wage war on one of Lagos's greatest trials: the spiritual rite of passage known as house hunting. From "executive mini flats" with no doors to balconies that are literally just a single plank, join me as i dodges fictional agents, near-demolished buildings, and the temptation to accept sheer nonsense just for a moment's peace. It’s a full-body workout for your patience, budget, and last ounce of dignity.
If you’ve ever or never been told “ajah to ikoyi is just two bridges away,” been shown a bathroom with no door, or considered sharing a prepaid meter with 15 other people, this episode is for you.
💌 Share your story with us!
What’s the worst thing an agent has ever told you? Have you seen a house so bad you had to laugh? We’d love to feature your flat-hunting horror stories on the podcast!
