🎧 EPISODE 4 – The Side-Eye Chronicles: Family Functions & the Silent War of Questions
Welcome back to 31 Block and Still With My Folks — where we unpack the unspoken pressure of showing up to family functions as a grown-but-single Nigerian adult.

In this episode, we’re stepping into the high-pressure arena of Nigerian gatherings where:

Aunties launch into “When will you marry?”
Uncles ask, “What exactly do you do again?”
And someone always says, “You’re looking fat — hope you’re okay?” 😩

But we’re not stopping there.

We’re also decoding a language more powerful than any side comment 
"The Nigerian Mum Side-Eye trademark"
You know the one. No words. Just a sharp glance across the room that tells you:
“Go and change your clothes.”
“Don’t touch that piece of meat.”
“Say one more thing and I’ll rearrange your destiny in public.”

This episode is full of gist, shade, and laughter — because surviving Nigerian family events is not for the weak!
