Naija Gender Roles vs. Canadian Reality πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬βž‘οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ | Now That We Are Here Podcast | S1E3

  • September 20, 2025

In this episode of Now That We Are Here, we’re diving into love, gender roles, and the Canada reset. Back home in Naija, many of us grew up with very clear ideas of who cooks, who cleans and who pays the bills. But once you land in Canada or anywhere else abroad, those β€œrules” don’t always fit anymore. TundeTASH and FemiShine get real (and laugh plenty) as they unpack what happens when Nigerian relationships meet Canadian realities β€” from guys suddenly doing laundry to babes refusing to “play housewife” in a new country. Because sometimes, survival means partnership looks a little different. We unpack:

  • The shock of unlearning gender stereotypes abroad
  • How relationships shift when both partners are grinding
  • Balancing tradition with new realities
  • Why β€œhappy wife, happy life” hits different in Canada
