Hmmm.. I have struggled with my faith too. I'm an only child, lost my dad when I was 13 and my mum when I was 23. For so long I didn't know how to relate with God. I felt like the least favourite of HIS children. I just could not understand the trajectory of my life, couldn't open my bible, hardly prayed.. Felt so alone.. Few years ago I started doubting the existence of God literally, but out of HIS bowel of compassion, HE allowed me come across messages by Apostle Joshua Selman and gradually I began to find Him again. I'm not where I want to be in my relationship and intimacy with God but I'm in a far better place, and I trust God to get better as I go. I genuinely pray for everyone to find God and have all their burning questions answered because one thing I know is that there is an answer to every puzzle about our loving God
Jola’s sincerity about her faith journey is honestly refreshing and remarkable. I pray you find the answers you seek and be fully convinced of your faith in Christ Jesus.
Jola was preaching. Nigerians don't understand simplicity and contentment. Dimma is also right about how lookism is a big deal, especially in Lagos...they call it "packaging".
Two of my faves!! I kept smiling and cackling during this episode. Jola is such a bibliophile, it makes sense that she's so articulate as well. I want to be like her when I grow up lmaooo. I'm so happy to see you laugh out loud and have a good time on camera, Dimma. Isn't the Lord so good!!
They spoke absolute truth through out... Jola spoke a lot of sense when she spoke about Nigerian youths not being contented and wanting to live a luxurious life Dinma broke the table that all these gals are standing on 😂😂
Loved this, more of Jola please and more advice on life, I need them, I’m 21 and sometimes I let these things social media project make me feel inferior 😅, but hearing things like this from time to time, helps alot
I enjoy when Dims bring her friends to chat with her. Loved this conversation and I honestly believe that Jolla’s struggle with her faith is because she is yet to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Remove religion and the fluff, one encounter will resolve the struggle and I hope it happens soon.
As someone who's not active on SM, I only heard about Jola during endsars, but I'm just getting to put a face to name. She's such a lovely and relatable lady.
Since I was younger I hardly had more than 2 or 3 friends. As an adult I have 3 very good friends that I love. I realized having a small but genuine circle saved me from a lot of things. 💕
OMG!!! I had a great time watching this. I even paused at some point to get some ice cream because I was having such a good time. Both of you seem to share similar values and beliefs and I think that is an important ingredient in friendships. I love how playful you both are with each other. Also, how Jola articulated about people trying to "contentify" their lives and friendships is very apt. I think it's really sad to know that people are focused more on how their circle is perceived by others than if they are actually building a great quality/wholesome circle/friendships. I love what Dimma said about focusing on the genuine friendships you have even if they world doesn't see it. I honestly do not think these things need to be publicised to be genuine. What all these points to is the need for social validation. Because in my opinion, resisting pressure especially in our late 20s/early 30s should be a walk in the park, if not for the need for validation and "acceptance" by people whose opinion should not matter. I'm looking to read Chimamanda's books this year; will start with Half of a Yellow Sun. Sending you both love.
I admire these ladies alot! Dimma for her put together life, and Jola for her eloquence and her speaking in the face of authority. This just reminds me of an episode on submaroach where Bolu Jola's brother spoke about Jola and it is exactly as Dimma said it. Jola is so passionate about societal issues, and if she decides to ever go into politics she has my support.
This was so beautiful to watch. I actually didn’t want it to end at all. Dimma was right, it was also very insightful. Currently a broke 20-something so I know there’s hope for me
I loved every single aspect of this video. Didn’t feel like 53 minutes at all. Thank you Dimma for this Gem. Especially the part about finances and “struggling” in your 20’s. It’s so easy to lose sight of that.
Oh my goodness, when the 'dating in the 30s' question popped, I literally started the "hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm" song 😂😂😂😂😂Jola, my babe, she never disappoints. Love you both so much #ISWIS fan
I've always known that Jola has a kind spirit but she's always hiding it behind her sharp mouth 😂 I've been such a big fan since I started listening to ISWIS a few years ago and we pin!. ❤
I don’t know how but I know that what y’all both said about what you liked about each other is true. I get that exact intuition from watching, listening and reading from each of you. You both are beautiful in your own unique ways❤❤
I didn’t realize I would love to see and hear Jola speaking so much. I resonate with everything she said. Watching Dimma is always like a breath of fresh air.
Jola's voice 😩😩😩❤️. She is also so pretty and has this calm look. I loved this chitchat and I didn't even realize it was almost an hour because it was so interesting to watch. Heading over to ISWIS series😘
I enjoyed the different parts of this conversation, and I loved the part where you talked about faith. I think it helps, even with the struggle to not push the question of Faith to the background but continue to seek answers cos the Bible says, if you seek me with all your hearts, you will find me. Also, even when we are not seeking Him, He is actively seeking our attention and earnestly desires us to experience His love in this fallen world. So, in short, keep seeking, and you'll find Him in Christ. I pray you both continue to increase in wisdom, favor & the blessings of God in every area of your lives in Jesus' name, Amen.
Purple Hibiscus is a gem , read it about 7 times, bought it off Amazon last month again .Jola motivates me to read and be more eloquent, love you ladies.
Jola's answer to the faith question is exactly how I felt before I went atheist lmao. Had 7 years of unbelief before I found God again in my traditional spirituality
Such a great authentic conversation. My fave Chimamandah book is Purple Hibiscus. Wrote about it to get into my college honors program in 2009. Such a life changing book and introduction to her work. Jaja and Kambili were such dynamic characters
Am I the first? Oh my God (in Dimma's voice) Edit Edit Edit I remember the first time I saw Jola ever was in one of Dimma's vlogs. They met for lunch or something like that and Dimma was so excited to go see her. I immediately followed Jola on SM and subscribe to her TH-cam page and started looking for ISWIS, my favourite podcast till date. It is so nice to see them finally do a sit down video in this channel. I love itttt. FK, no vex for us ooh. 😁😁😁
Oh wooow!!!! This was very educative and entertaining. I know it was more of a lady's talk show or something like that but coming from a guys perspective, I really enjoyed it. Also this was the first ever Nigerian youtube podcast I have ever listened to. Thank you for your honesty ladies🙌🙌🙌.
The most anticipated YT collabo!! To say I enjoyed this video is to say the least tbh! We need a Part 2!! Jolas vibe is unmatched😄 Your individual takes on friendships, life and finances was spot on.. Oh and the part where you both described yourselves, more like two peas in a pod🥹🫶🏼 The friendship between you two is so admirable(Bursts of emotions, tears and laughter while watching esp at the end😂) I hope I find a soul friendship like this soon!!❤️
i loved it so much. Also noticed this is the same shirt Jolla was wearing on her pocast with GRV. I loved what you said on principles. I don't even know if i have any but I'll like to get to the point where i am steadfast in my principles and not just compromising because i want to be seen as a good person. Also on kindness, that is so important. like above all else, a kind heart is so important to me. on the book reading, how has Jolla read 90?? omo only if i could get through 40 this year especially fiction. all in all, you guys are the best. i just love you guys
This was Hugely insightful...Jola really knows how to speak English like Chidinma said, i wish i could so easily structure sentences and use some kinda words like her. I love you guys friendship and your values... keep being real ❤❤❤
The grown-up content I didn't know I needed. But absolutely devoured. As always, Ms Dimma you're a delight to watch and listen. Ms Jola, get on TH-cam again!!!!!!
I love the honesty of Jola in her reaction to spirituality because that is how I feel and Dinma is a wealth of knowledge. Love the combo of these two powerhouses ❤❤🎉
Ok. Let me give my testimony. Yes, a testimony o. Jola changed my reading completely. I love reading but was always short of good books to read but since the launch of Happy noisemakers bookclub, omo, I am now the BOOK GURU! Lessons in Chemistry was my best book last year. I loved it so much that I reread it almost immediately. Thanks to Jola again. Thank you, Jola for HNM. You people should go and join us oo.
This felt like therapy especially the money talk. I have honestly never cared about how my life looks, I’m more invested in making it feel good. Love this video. Thank you♥️
Jola you see that yearning that Dinma spoke of? That's exactly what I see. Keep asking, Keep being authentic about your struggles, Keep wondering. Admitting you are struggling is proof that you want to grow. God sees you Jola. Like you said a lot of People in the bible dealt with unbelief but they seeked God to help them. God will help you, Just stay with God. Ask him all those questions, He wants to hear them. He wants to help you.
Jola is always in the corner!!! I didn’t know I needed this. You two are absolutely amazing. If you want more of this go and listen to i said what i said podcast. I feel so seen. I knew I could not be the only one who felt what I felt when I read of this our country. Normally I wouldn’t read the authors name till I finish the short story, but from the very first sentence I knew it was our sister, our Aunty, our author Chimamanda. I had to close to book after her story. Nothing was going to come close to the way she captured Lagos. It took me two days to come back to the book.
In this Lagos, people make you feel you are not enough because you don’t speak or look a certain way. You must use a certain gadget because you want to feel like you are enough. God helps us
I’ve always wanted to be a reader of books asides my bible and school books. I read “Nearly all the men in Lagos are mad” “Smart Money Woman” and I want a book like that too coz as Jola said, I expected all books to be as amazing
Then you might enjoy A Broken People's Playlist by Chimeka Garrick too. Check out books like Tomorrow died yesterday, Stay with me, The Secret lives of Baba Segi's wives, His Only Wife,... Those are all some really good books that can keep you going.
Chimeka Garricks is one of my favourite authors after I read his novel Tomorrow Died Yesterday. Not read A Broken People’s Playlist yet but search for it. Read all the others which are brilliant ones as well apart His Only Wife.
Love this collab! Re: blessed hands, Dont let that stop you. I’m one of the most uncreative people I know and I haven’t let it stop me from gardening, amateur sewing and home improvement diys. A lot of my projects look very shabby, but “who’s going to check me?” Dabble in whatever artisan craft you’re interested in and have fun. Let’s just thank God our survival is not dependent on it. *Edited for grammar
I love this video so much. From the genuine love I can see between you two, to how much I relate to Jola’s faith-vs-unbelief situation. Keep ‘em coming, Dimma! 😁❤️

This gives such elder sister vibes and my God the insight. Jola is so eloquent. This was a match made in heaven.
I didn't want this to end. Jola is so articulate. And it's so obvious you both genuinely like each other ❤️❤️❤️
Me too😪
I love how Jola composes herself, speaks so calmly but clearly. Totally enjoyed this chat.
Jola seems so authentic and original. There’s something about her that keeps drawing me to her. Really enjoyed this episode!
It's so difficult building female friendships in adulthood. At this stage, I am open to who is open to me.
True
So true
True..
📌📌📌
Exactly
I really like how Jola articulates her thoughts 😊
Very true!!!
Jola was preaching. Nigerians don't understand simplicity and contentment. Dimma is also right about how lookism is a big deal, especially in Lagos...they call it "packaging".
Lagos and Packaging 🤝🏾😅
ISWIS & Dimma gang member let us gather & mark ✍🏽 attendance🫶🏾
This thing about Jola being so bold is one of the so many reasons I love herrr. My queen fr
Same 😂😂🥺🧡
Same here😂😂😂
Jola and Dimma a combo I never knew I needed 😩😩
Me too.

Loved this, more of Jola please and more advice on life, I need them, I’m 21 and sometimes I let these things social media project make me feel inferior 😅, but hearing things like this from time to time, helps alot
A whole 53 plus minutes of chit-chat with Dimmah and her friend Jola. Ain't we lucky guys?
We are ❤️❤️
We areeee
“Jola or Jollz whatever you want to call me is fine”happy noise maker OG🤲🏾🤲🏾
I enjoy when Dims bring her friends to chat with her. Loved this conversation and I honestly believe that Jolla’s struggle with her faith is because she is yet to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.

Amen 🙏
Great point. .But sometimes life is not black and white!
As someone who's not active on SM, I only heard about Jola during endsars, but I'm just getting to put a face to name. She's such a lovely and relatable lady.
True friendship is hard this days. All you see is people who want to use or people who want to copy every single thing you do 😢😢😢
Yup
This is what i am experiencing now i do not know to live with people like this.
Since I was younger I hardly had more than 2 or 3 friends. As an adult I have 3 very good friends that I love. I realized having a small but genuine circle saved me from a lot of things. 💕

Omo Jola is so deep 😍😍😍 Cheers to quality friendships. 🥂
‘Your boyfriend will be wearing uniform’😂😂😂😂😂

Dimma’s description of Jolla’s bravery is how I’ve felt about her since I started following her on Twitter. She is truly a role model to me
Yesssssssss. Jola is so bold and I love it so much. So assertive, bold, truthful. I love it so much
Everything Jola and Dimma said about faith, felt. This was such a lovely time❤️
This was so interesting and I didn’t want it to end😢 Jola has a really beautiful skin and she’s very articulate ❤
Jola is so amazing 😊😊. I love her already. This was very entertaining and enlightening. Please bring Jola back oh Dim Dim😂
Oh Jola and Dimma are so articulate. This video was so relaxing.
The video quality is so impeccable. Listening and staring at his beautiful both of you look .
I didn’t realize I would love to see and hear Jola speaking so much. I resonate with everything she said.
Watching Dimma is always like a breath of fresh air.
I caught myself smiling like a fool just watching you two talk
My Dim Dim
Biko be giving us the length, I can’t get tired of listening to you ever ❤️

I haven’t even started watching but I’m just so excited to see Jollz on the thumbnail 💃🏾💃🏾
I’ve been waiting for this since Dimma’s first time on ISWIS 🎉❤❤❤❤! Let’s go🥂
Purple Hibiscus is a gem , read it about 7 times, bought it off Amazon last month again .Jola motivates me to read and be more eloquent, love you ladies.
I love Jola’s introduction of herself! Yup
Jola's answer to the faith question is exactly how I felt before I went atheist lmao. Had 7 years of unbelief before I found God again in my traditional spirituality
Such a great authentic conversation. My fave Chimamandah book is Purple Hibiscus. Wrote about it to get into my college honors program in 2009. Such a life changing book and introduction to her work. Jaja and Kambili were such dynamic characters
32:21 clearly this was filmed in 2022 but this point made me laugh because of the way Jola has been dragging Sanwo-Olu
This was really fun to watch. And Jola is so eloquent
I absolutely love listening to women talk and this gave all it was supposed to give. So insightful and refreshing. I’ll always stan.
Am I the first?
Oh my God (in Dimma's voice)
Edit Edit Edit
I remember the first time I saw Jola ever was in one of Dimma's vlogs. They met for lunch or something like that and Dimma was so excited to go see her. I immediately followed Jola on SM and subscribe to her TH-cam page and started looking for ISWIS, my favourite podcast till date.
It is so nice to see them finally do a sit down video in this channel. I love itttt.
FK, no vex for us ooh. 😁😁😁

I hope I do too😄
Jola is actually so brave. I see myself in Jola so much. So so graceful with it.
What time is it? It’s DIMMA time 😍😍 ran here with the speed of light 🥰🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"if you don't have the equipment, you look like you are possessed" LOL that is the funniest statement
i loved it so much. Also noticed this is the same shirt Jolla was wearing on her pocast with GRV.
I loved what you said on principles. I don't even know if i have any but I'll like to get to the point where i am steadfast in my principles and not just compromising because i want to be seen as a good person.

You have even read 40
God when oo😂
Almost an hour of video😭 *starts singing « so this is love tanran ran*😂❤️
I loved this so much, you both are awesome😂❤️
Why did I think this was filmed the same day as the ISWIS Episode with GRV
With both videos dropping the same week & Jola is in the same look 😂🫣
Dimma your make up looks so good in this video.
This was Hugely insightful...Jola really knows how to speak English like Chidinma said, i wish i could so easily structure sentences and use some kinda words like her. I love you guys friendship and your values... keep being real ❤❤❤
I can so relate, listening to her recently made me realize that I really need to go back to reading… love how articulate she is
not two of my favorite creators giving us a collab. i am sat!!
❤❤❤ I don’t even have the words to describe how this video made me feel. Two of my favorite ever.
Jola and Dinma pls do more of this I so much love this combo like I literally don’t want it to end 😊
Purple Hibiscus did something to me!! I’ve read that book 3 times!
Honestly, I didn't want this video to end but I'm glad you made this. It was really insightful and both of you make great friends
This is the best realistic and relatable Q&A I have ever watched. Loved and enjoyed this soooo much. The rawness,reality and truth!
The grown-up content I didn't know I needed. But absolutely devoured. As always, Ms Dimma you're a delight to watch and listen. Ms Jola, get on TH-cam again!!!!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed listening to two people talk 🥺, soo much insight 🥰🥰🥰…. More please 🙏🏽
I usually do not drop comments but I extremely enjoyed this conversation and it made me laugh a lot. You two should do more episodes together, please.
I love the honesty of Jola in her reaction to spirituality because that is how I feel and Dinma is a wealth of knowledge. Love the combo of these two powerhouses ❤❤🎉
Ok. Let me give my testimony. Yes, a testimony o. Jola changed my reading completely. I love reading but was always short of good books to read but since the launch of Happy noisemakers bookclub, omo, I am now the BOOK GURU!
Lessons in Chemistry was my best book last year. I loved it so much that I reread it almost immediately. Thanks to Jola again.
Thank you, Jola for HNM.
You people should go and join us oo.
“that’s your uncle now” 🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this! 🥰 That age gap conversation had all the jokes we needed! 🤣
Lovely episode 🥰. Was strange seeing Jolla all so serious in this episode... who was prepared for this 😄. Beautiful conversations. Thanks Dimma 💕
It was the seriousness for me too. In my mind, I was like wait, is Jola shy or what?? but I guess it was just the type of questions
I like when jola does that tik tok sound…”hm hm hmm hm hmm…😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like a lot of June borns are principled and kind 👏🏾
This felt like therapy especially the money talk. I have honestly never cared about how my life looks, I’m more invested in making it feel good. Love this video. Thank you♥️
Yes Dimma is such a sweetheart. my favorite youtuber anyday anytime
We love a Jolly baby and Dimma collab🤩🥹
Jola you see that yearning that Dinma spoke of? That's exactly what I see. Keep asking, Keep being authentic about your struggles, Keep wondering. Admitting you are struggling is proof that you want to grow. God sees you Jola. Like you said a lot of People in the bible dealt with unbelief but they seeked God to help them. God will help you, Just stay with God. Ask him all those questions, He wants to hear them. He wants to help you.
Thank you Jola! Purple hibiscus is my favourite book ever
I've read it a million times
This Jola is making so much sense. Contentment is essential
I have learnt English in this episode I can’t lie
So i know these two wonderful people vaguely from ig but now i am soo impressed by the realism of this video..I am now a fan
Jola is always in the corner!!! I didn’t know I needed this. You two are absolutely amazing. If you want more of this go and listen to i said what i said podcast.
I feel so seen. I knew I could not be the only one who felt what I felt when I read of this
our country. Normally I wouldn’t read the authors name till I finish the short story, but from the very first sentence I knew it was our sister, our Aunty, our author Chimamanda. I had to close to book after her story. Nothing was going to come close to the way she captured Lagos. It took me two days to come back to the book.
A friendship with genuine admiration for each other, it’s beautiful to see ❤
That 'default to respect' comment is giving me PTSD vibe 😣 thank you for honestly shaking this table, love you two😍
The way I screamed when I saw the cover😍. My two faves!🫶🏽
In this Lagos, people make you feel you are not enough because you don’t speak or look a certain way. You must use a certain gadget because you want to feel like you are enough. God helps us
I’ve always wanted to be a reader of books asides my bible and school books. I read “Nearly all the men in Lagos are mad” “Smart Money Woman” and I want a book like that too coz as Jola said, I expected all books to be as amazing
Then you might enjoy A Broken People's Playlist by Chimeka Garrick too. Check out books like Tomorrow died yesterday, Stay with me, The Secret lives of Baba Segi's wives, His Only Wife,... Those are all some really good books that can keep you going.
Chimeka Garricks is one of my favourite authors after I read his novel Tomorrow Died Yesterday. Not read A Broken People’s Playlist yet but search for it. Read all the others which are brilliant ones as well apart His Only Wife.
Love this collab!
Re: blessed hands, Dont let that stop you.
I’m one of the most uncreative people I know and I haven’t let it stop me from gardening, amateur sewing and home improvement diys. A lot of my projects look very shabby, but “who’s going to check me?”
Dabble in whatever artisan craft you’re interested in and have fun.
Let’s just thank God our survival is not dependent on it.
*Edited for grammar
I love this video so much. From the genuine love I can see between you two, to how much I relate to Jola’s faith-vs-unbelief situation. Keep ‘em coming, Dimma! 😁❤️
I had no idea how much I needed this collab until now😂😂. Two of my favourite people ❤️
As a 'Saidat' from ISWIS, and a Dinma fan.....Let's go!!!!!!!!!
Jola!!!! The eloquence is articulate-ing. what!!! Dimma!!! The beauty is electrify-ing.What!!!!
Really loved this video, it’s hard to find realistic content these days. I love how real this video was. Shoutout to Jola❤❤
