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.
Join TMT, Mayowa, and Koj on Submarine and A Roach. Nigeria’s funniest and #1 comedy podcast for Episode 238, "The Danish Inception." The boys kick things off with their usual nonsense, diving straight into the chaotic and hilarious world of tiktok reverse love scam racism.The conversation takes a darker turn as they explore the rise of alté serial killers via.......sigh.....music.Then, in true Submaroach fashion, they switch gears to African accents in Hollywood by way of Stella Damascus.Culture chat continues with Tmt’s signature storytelling prowess, and the boys discuss Tinubu's recent ambassador appointments and the bewildering political appointments. Time will tell.Throughout the episode, the boys blend serious topics with their signature humour, taking you on a wild ride through culture, politics, and the ever present chaos of Nigerian life. From alté killers to Nollywood stardom and Tinubu’s international moves, they cover it all with a side of laughs.Get ready for another wild, thought-provoking, and hilarious episode of Submarine and A Roach.
Join Tmt. Mayowa and Koj on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest and #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 237, “Every Good Girl Deserves A Bad Boy.” Tmt starts off choosing joy as the boys open in classic Submaroach fashion: talking nonsense.They talk Wike, and the surreal reality of Nigerians rooting for a soldier five years after #EndSARS—proof that we are in a true state of higi-haga. Culture chat follows: alté anxiety, Lady Donli being the one artist Tmt openly fears, and his doomed attempt to debut a parody alté song.Then the big one: Burna Boy’s “empty” Houston show. Bad ticket day? Boycott whispers? Or the start of his legacy-act era? The boys compare his recent run to Wizkid and discuss what a comeback could look like. Mayowa adds field notes on diaspora crowds and why great performances are good PR.The episode gets personal: parents discovering the pod, mums threatening Instagram unfollows, grief arriving mid-week, birthdays, friends, and the grounding power of witnessing personal growth. TMT shares rent hikes, D&D nights, classical concerts, tattoos, and the gusy delve into serendipitous stranger encounters before the final sign-off.
Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 236, “Nothing to see here — yet.”Love isn’t dead; it’s everywhere, even on Twitter. TMT opens with a Sunday sermon on tenderness before the boys autopsy the week’s millennial exodus—timelines scrubbed, handles vanished, and a decade of tweets dug up like generational curses. “Chaos is a ladder,” they joke, then climb right into it: cancel culture vs. shamelessness, victimhood logic, and why the internet keeps scoring real life in W’s and L’s like it’s monkey post.They pivot to the fan–artist contract after the Burna Boy clip—customers might pay for tickets, but empathy is priceless—then get properly paranoid about platforms: encrypt the DMs and encrypt the search bar. Political mess leaks in as the boys dig into Epstein, Trump, and BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. Music ties the bow: a fresh look at SARZ’s album (executive brilliance vs. production flex), Odunsi’s cinematic rollout, the Wale Afrobeats viral moment, and flowers for emerging artists—Deji Osikoya and Ayoade Bamgboye. It’s love amid chaos, Lagos humor with global stakes, and a reminder that outside the outrage machine, there’s grass, real life, and rice at home.Press play now—touch grass later.
Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “Detty December is Human Trafficking,” hosted by TMT & Koj.Every December, Lagos becomes a conveyor belt of bodies, bottles, and bravado—an economy of daytime festivals that start too late for the sun, beach days that turn into boat-hopping on the Lagos Lagoon, and selfies in the red-light district otherwise known as Lagos traffic. It’s our annual rite of passage: equal parts pilgrimage and punishment.The boys build a Detty December checklist: stuffy clubs with famously disorderly queues; Russian roulette with fake alcohol; concerts that begin at 3 a.m. and stages that collapse by 3 a.m.; and the not-so-subtle deployment of Nigerian police by private citizens—like Pokémon.There’s wedding culture, too: the old era of joyful gate-crashing is fading under inflation, replaced by a dystopian hustle where IJGBs and culture tourists buy access to “authentic” Nigerian weddings. TMT’s PSA is simple: if you purchase a ticket to crash a wedding because of an IG ad made on Canva, expect hands. Koj counters that the market will protect anyone willing to buy tables at weddings like it’s Rhythm Unplugged.Climate anxiety hovers over the festivities: rain bleeding into November, potentially signaling higher heat levels in December, and a city with a track record of not solving environmental crises—before the conversation pivots to Sanwo-Olu at Lagos Fashion Week, modeling a “sustainable” aesthetic. You can’t spell APC without AC, so APC will cool the globe.The hosts resurrect the word “chassis”—a car term upgraded into a compliment—to show how Nigerianisms morph in real time. Ultimately, like Detty December itself, language is just infrastructure for what we really want: to be seen, to be inside, to say, “I survived.”

From there, Koj’s moving diaries turn into a love letter to rent-controlled Toronto apartments, outrageous building amenities, and plotting bike rides on waterfront paths.We get an Ibadan classic: the gardener caught doing thirst traps in the boss’s pool—a WhatsApp-era parable told in Yoruba (“wé”) about boundaries, class, and comedy. Then it’s culture and current affairs: royal family headlines, U.S. threats toward Nigeria, and why media framing around Boko Haram is messy—plus a reminder to value reporting over outrage cycles.Internet culture shows up too: OnlyFans as a business, a Pornhub developer on LinkedIn, and a stray alté pregnancy rumor that somehow invaded dreamland.

Welcome to another chaotic chapter of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast, hosted by Tmt and Koj—your favorite agents of unserious national commentary.This week’s episode kicks off with a Mother’s Day tribute to none other than the Mother of the Nation, Remi Tinubu. The boys officially crown her Remy Ma, and obviously, this leads straight to a breakdown of the music video for Fat Joe’s “Lean Back.” Koj argues that Remy Ma had insane privilege because let’s be real—Ciara wouldn’t have survived that scene.From there, the conversation shifts to Remi Tinubu’s recent visit to a nursing school, the cheeky reception she got from the students, and the queries that followed. Koj shares a similar memory from high school, where students clapped a guest off the stage—giving Tmt the idea for his next hit TV series: “The Clap,” because, as he reminds us, “Na from clap dance dey start.”And somehow—because this is Submarine and A Roach—this spirals into a conversation about wacking off. (Don't ask. Just listen.)Tmt calls Koj a piece of shit (as is tradition), then tells a story about his girlfriend being mistaken for a Marlian. Tmt also poses a true philosophical banger:“What clapped first—hands or cheeks?” A debate only ChatGPT can settle.

In this episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest podcast and Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast, hosts Tmt and Koj explore the nuances of perception and intent in daily interactions. They delve into how individuals' actions are often misinterpreted as boastful or offensive, when, in reality, they're simply narrating their experiences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding that not every personal story is a flex aimed at others; sometimes, people merely share their lives without ulterior motives.

Episode 228: "Lagos 2 Crazy"In this episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest podcast and Nigeria's #1 comedy podcast, hosts Tmt and Koj are joined by the exceptionally talented Ua.x—a singer, songwriter, performer, dancer, producer, director, filmmaker, and one of Nigeria's top location scouts.The episode kicks off with a discussion on mental health, framed as a transactional process where individuals accumulate "mental health points" on good days to utilize during challenging times.Koj presents his "Premise of the Week," asserting that religion is inherently transactional and expressing fatigue over the pretense that it isn't. This leads to a conversation about how many perceive God's existence through answered prayers or explicit denials, noting that the silence accompanying unanswered prayers can challenge one's faith. Koj humorously mentions wishing he had witnessed King Belshazzar's feast, where a divine hand appeared, as such an event would have solidified his faith unequivocally.The discussion naturally transitions to the scorching Lagos heat, humorously likened to hell. Tmt shares an anecdote about narrowly avoiding an accident, only to realize he had swerved to miss a Rolls Royce, prompting immediate regret.The hosts then delve into a captivating conversation with the recently married Ua.x, who recently released a video for his single "Lagos2Crazy." Ua.x recounts how the song came to him during a serene walk in Abuja amidst the pandemic, contrasting with Lagos's typical chaos. He also directed Burna Boy's latest music video for "Update," leading to a discussion about his journey in the Nigerian music industry.Koj and Ua.x reminisce about their university days, recalling their early music collaborations. Koj fondly remembers providing Ua.x with a pirated version of Final Cut Pro just before Ua.x ventured into video production—a journey that has now led him to direct a video for Koj's personal G.O.A.T.Ua.x candidly discusses his directorial journey, acknowledging the on-the-job learning curve and the humble beginnings of his initial productions. Musically, he credits Styl-Plus for inspiring his desire to create music and P-Square's "Game Over" album for fueling his passion for dynamic performances.Tmt shares his experience attending a St. Patrick's Day celebration in Lagos, sparking a conversation about the similarities between the Nigerian, Irish, and Ivorian flags. This leads to a humorous debate about alcohol preferences, with Koj revealing his aversion to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) liquors in favor of white liquors, prompting Tmt to quip, "He don't want no D.E.I. in his D.U.I."The trio explores what differentiates those who achieve significant success from equally talented peers, referencing Anthony Mackie's recent discussion about the pivotal role of being "hand-selected" in an artist's breakthrough.Koj reflects on the humbling experience of his best joke falling flat for the first time, and Ua.x concludes the episode by listing famous music videos he has directed for renowned artists.Tune in to this episode filled with insightful discussions, personal anecdotes, and the signature humor that defines Submarine and A Roach.
