Tania, Faith Get a Taste of Drama on ‘The Real Housewives of Lagos’ Season 2

Vanessa Obioha

If there’s one lesson to be gleaned from the debut season of ‘The Real Housewives of Lagos,’ it’s that this reality TV show is not for the faint-hearted. To thrive in this world, you must be prepared to face both verbal spats and fiery showdowns or opt to stay away. In the first episode of the second season, which aired on Friday, September 29, newcomers Tania Omotayo and Faith Morey got a front-row seat to what these housewives are all about.

During a lunch get-together, Tania, with her fresh face, found herself enduring constant comparisons to Carolyn Hutchings by none other than Iyabo Ojo. Meanwhile, Morey had to navigate Iyabo’s playful antics, which included stepping on the tail of her dress.

As the season progresses, it’ll be a delight to see how these ladies react and whether they can mend the grudges that spilled over from the previous season. The veteran housewives might be taken aback by the newcomers, particularly Tania, who has made it clear that it’s a misperception to view her as a quiet lady.

On the flip side, Faith is living a lavish lifestyle that could make her fellow housewives green with envy. While she maintained a calm disposition in the first episode, the question lingers: how long will it take before she unleashes her claws?

Meanwhile, the lingering tension between Toyin Lawani-Adebayo and Chioma Ikokwu is still palpable. Chioma minced no words when she declared that she was not ready to settle any scores with Toyin. Even Mariam, who appeared to have resolved her issues with Toyin, is taking every word Toyin says with a pinch of salt. Laura is also uncertain about her friendship with Toyin. Could Toyin be a loner this season?

In a fashion reminiscent of its predecessor, the new season of ‘The Real Housewives of Lagos’ has shattered first-day streaming records on Showmax in Nigeria. This achievement surpasses the first season’s record and secures its place as the most-watched Original on its initial release day in Nigeria.

As the housewives continue to settle their scores and newcomers integrate themselves into the group, fans of the show will undoubtedly have plenty to discuss as the season unfolds. New episodes are scheduled to air on Fridays on Showmax.
