Previously on The Real Housewives of Lagos
Can someone call Laura?
Call your friend, call Laura, what's happening to her?
Darling, you guys have known her longer than I have.
Why can't you call her?
I don't have a Nigerian number yet.
Faith seems a little bit nonchalant...
...uninterested...
...not very involved, not very active.
I'm hoping that Faith understands that, this auction is for charity...
...and the money is not going to my personal pocket.
I thought like, you've been partying and rocking and like...
...I was going to be like, super late.
Everyone just looks so miserable.
Strange.
We don't even know where she is. We don't know if she's here or not.
I think she's here.
She is?
Inside?
I think she... Yeah... I think she is...
I saw her bouncer.
Oh my God.
Mariam.
Faith has had, a whooping...
...zero involvement, except the cha cha cha...
...cha cha cha dance, we did together, once.
The rest...
...zero.
If someone is your friend, I expect to see affection and love...
...because that's how I'm going to judge you.
Let me talk.
Don't even try it, raccoon looking face -Let me talk.
You know, you asked me the question.
Me, raccoon?
Baby, you're a hungry chimpanzee.
You're a hungry chimpanzee.
I don't have to prove to anybody that I'm friends with a person.
Hey!
Who is hey?
Girl, you are too f**king fake.
Girl, get lost.
Thank you so much, thank you -Thank you b**ch
No one knows the kingdom better than a queen who runs it.
I make drama look so fabulous.
I am the definition of family, loyalty and class.
I don't have attitude, I have standards.
I am a woman with many crowns.
King of fashion, star maker.
Business Mogul.
But the first crown I wear, is super Mom.
My family and securing the bag, will always be my priority.
The fact that I like peace...
...doesn't mean I'm not ready for war.
In this game, it's me versus me.
It's my world, I always come out on top.
I'm fragile like a flower, yet fragile like a bomb.
You can watch me blossom or watch me burn.
Motherhood is my life...
...fashion is my forte.
The six feet Amazon goddess is here.
I want to talk to my sister.
Hi, sis.
Are you okay?
How are you?
I'm trying to detox all the negative energy.
She is the only one that knows how to...
...like, calm me down and like, just bring me back to...
...me.
I've decided to want to talk about, it's just you know...
...when somebody's trying to get me out of character, you know and...
...you know I don't back down for no fight, you know...
...not to talk of something that is an animal, place or thing.
So, I'm just going to leave it that way.
So, it's...
...a.m, and I'm calling, my brother, my best friend, Victor.
Hey bro, good morning.
How are you doing? Good morning
Are you enjoying the place?
Not really.
Really? What happened?
One of the ladies, was going off on me that...
...I'm not a good friend to Laura.
And I'm like, dude...
It's... The way my friendship with her...
...the dynamic between the both of us, is nobody's business.
I'm giving him just a little tea of what happened...
...because I think, if I tell him the whole thing...
...he'll literally come drag me out of this place.
Just take it easy, ok?
I know it can be frustrating for you, you know...
...especially as this is the first time you're staying among the ladies.
But just know why you are doing this and know where you are coming from.
I feel bad, you know.
The thing just ended up...
Did it happen right there?
It first happened during the event...
...before she even showed us her movie.
So it died down a little bit.
We were playing games and it started again.
By that time, it just went from zero to a billion.
It's going to take a whole lot but...
...I do not want to fight anyone no more, right...
...on this trip.
They're expecting me to want to kiss asses, like...
...obviously, I'm the new girl, I should be like...
Darling.
You've never...
ass...
I didn't kiss ass when I was a teen.
I'm not doing it now as an adult.
It's exhausting being around group of people that...
...all they do is talk over you or...
...are not willing to get to know you.
Obviously, I was wrong...
...for even engaging with the other thing, I called raccoon....
...at Iyabo's event, because I know how much work...
...it takes, for you to put stuff together like this.
I don't regret doing it...
...honestly because, it just confirms, you know...
...my reservation about, you know, who these ladies are...
...and what their thoughts are about me.
I'll call you later and tell you how my day is going.
I tried as much as possible, for them to...
...to tell them not to cause any drama at my event.
So, for me to do that at her event, I kind of feel bad for her, you know.
And this is a big move for her and...
...for it to turn out like that on our first night.
Well that's ...it was very... No.
I am remorseful about the way I...
...you know, disrupt Iyabo's event.
But my actions towards Faith, no, I'm not.
Alright baby, I love you.
Love you.
Bye sis. -Go and enjoy yourself.
I will.
I'm arriving at the resort.
Looking around.
Everywhere is beautiful...
...doesn't even feel like I'm in Lagos anymore.
Oh my God, look at you.
So, yes, a breath of fresh air is coming in...
...because Doctor R is here.
Yeah!!!!
I know.
Anything for you.
And this is your gift, my dear friend.
We're going to have a good time. -Definitely.
I think today might end well.
Ah, you missed a lot.
No!
I'm telling you, yesterday...
...yesterday was... --What?
...was hell.
I just entered the resort.
Iyabo, you are not even giving me time to breathe...
...catch my breath, enjoy the place.
Iyabo and gossips...
...are very close.
Oh my God, I love this place. -Yeah.
Let the party start.
I have a whole lot, locked up in my chest right now.
And who...
...best to share it with?
I just don't want to vibe, like, with Faith anymore.
Is there some...
...unresolved fight or some previous fight, they've had with each other?
I'm not sure.
So, it's either she's nervous, or she's not showing her true self, or she's fake.
She's fake. She's definitely fake, but you know what...
I was angry with...
...Mariam.
Initially, like, Mariam, it's ok, because it's my event...
...and they went on and on, calling themselves...
...so many unprinted names, you know. --Oh, my God.
That bad?
It was really bad, it was really bad, you know...
...like public toilet, chimpanzee -No!
bi**ch, prostitute, oh God.
Yes, I think Mariam came on too strong.
Maybe, she had too much to drink...
...and probably that kind of, affected her.
Mariam apologized that she was sorry.
I don't know if Faith apologized, because I really didn't hear her say sorry.
I don't think she'll say sorry...
...that's one thing that my friend...
I have to talk to her about. She never says sorry.
So, if your friend knows that you don't say sorry, when you are wrong...
...that means you're very proud.
What you've told me now is showing me the same thing she did to me.
Yes.
Meaning, she's acting fake.
Doesn't care about other people.
She cares about herself.
Do you understand?
You come and act like, oh, you're this diva, diva, diva.
You see, you cannot come into...
...you come into a palace of queens.
Yeah.
And you want to...
And you want to take the throne...
...the title, she wants to take the crown.
You don't, you don't do that.
You have to earn...
You have to earn the crown.
You have to come humble...
...you have to get to know them...
...then plan your strategy and see how you take the crown.
Hmm.
Ladies and competition, imagine Iyabo being already...
...threatened by Faith, coming to take the crown...
...as if, she already owns the crown.
I'm on my way to Epe, to meet the girls, for Iyabo's getaway.
And well, I can't wait to get there. Let's go and have some fun.
Hey, girl.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
Laura is calling me right now and she's telling me she's on her way.
And I'm excited because Laura is an energy goddess, honey.
You guys are having fun without me.
You're having.... I can imagine.
Girl, I had so much fun too, yesterday...
...and I'm telling you.
I'm ready to get this trip...
...over with.
But with Laura, I know I'm definitely going to have fun.
There's going to be a lot of laughter, there's going to be a lot of dancing, so...
I can't wait for her to join me.
I'll see you soon.
Very close, I think I can see the place from here.
Bestie, bestie, are you ready?
I'm ready.
It's a beautiful, beautiful space.
I've not... I've not seen the rooms but...
...right now I like... I like the vibe, I like it.
Hey... hey beautiful
Hi.
Hi boo, boo.
You look amazing. --Happy Birthday.
Thank you - Come on girl, look at you.
Give me your body, girl.
Look at you, come on, I love it.
Oh, look at my girl.
She's so beautiful.
Oh yeah, you guys had fun without me yesterday.
It was a mix of fun and then ended up a disaster actually.
No.
And I wish you were there.
No, for real? --Yes.
Who and who?
Don't tell me, it's you?
Faith, ofcourse not you.
Yes.
You?
I'm shocked.
And I'm... I mean.
Faith is someone that, actually minds her business.
You and who?
Miss Iyabo was telling Chioma, hey, go and call your friend, Laura.
You know, so for me, obviously...
...you know, people always want to poke, poke, poke.
I think they were expecting me to go, like, hey...
But I kept quiet, right?
Mariam gave me that, you know, like...
...the
I still didn't, you know, give in or anything and then Iyabo ask her...
...like, why are you looking at Faith like that?
I was like, yes, why are you looking at me like that?
She is like, she's your friend, don't you have her number?
I was like that again? -Again
Girl, stop it.
I was like, that again?
Stop it.
I have your record.
-No, for real?
Faith and Mariam, why?
What...
What's this whole thing about?
I was like, raccoon, please just chill.
You called her, a raccoon?
Mariam and a raccoon.
I'm married, I have your record, I'm spilling...
...and then she spilled just three names, I was like...
I don't know any of the names, but, I'm glad she named just three people.
For someone that claims she has my record, I was expecting hundred names.
I don't think you should stoop so low to their level.
Because they are there.
So, I mean, you mentioning names of people, someone has been with or you assume...
...or you know, think that someone has been with is not necessary, it's childish.
I think the best thing is just to act like she's a fly.
She doesn't exist. -Or just ignore her.
Like, literally, when she's doing all her craziness... --Ignore her.
...is like just do something else.
Okay, what's the purpose, what... Who are you fighting for?
Are you fighting for me?
You don't even like me, why are you fighting for me?
So, we are going to have so much fun today, girl.
Yes, honey.
We're going to have so much fun.
Laura!
I'm so happy. --I need my hype queen.
Girl, I need to go and change, I need to go change
Come on, let's go to your room. -I need to go change.
I love that bag too, honey.
Show us the diamond bracelet, come on, girl, come on.
Rich bi**ch energy.
I'm going for some pottery lessons.
I chose Doctor R and Tiannah, because they have creative minds.
Ok.
What do you have planned for us?
I mean, it's like we are twinning already.
We are twinning, always, like...
This is my first time ever...
...doing anything concerning pottery.
Welcome to creating the art of pottery.
And here, you are going to be building a human torso...
...molding a masterpiece.
I'm meeting Iyabo for pottery session.
I think I'm gonna love it because I love to create with my hands.
Iyabo.
Mrs Nigeria.
How are you?
I actually didn't know Doctor Rommel was around.
To be honest, I'm just seeing him. Yeah, it's cool, anyways.
For the pottery class...
...we are having two kinds, like, two techniques of pottery.
So, the first one is called the hand built...
...and the second is called the throwing method.
Then when we are done, we move to the wheel.
I think Iyabo just likes to be around people that she really can...
...not just have fun and vibe with, but people that are genuine and just real.
Once your hand, in it, is okay...
...it finally feels ok.
Yes.
Ok.
So, now, the boobs, it's going on the body, this way.
Doctor Rommel, what is that?
I'm a little bit... I'm satisfied.
What's that thing?
How's it going?
Is this a lady or...?
This looks like a guy, like your gender.
I'm sorry Dr. Rommel, you're on your own.
Add something, help me out.
You were asked to mould a woman and you are moulding a man.
So, guys, I have to leave you, guys.
Ok, see you soon.
I want to go and check on everything because you know for tonight's events.
Anybody that tries to obstruct or destroy...
...my plans for tonight.
Personally, I would thow them from up, down.
I will see you ladies later...
It's ok.
Ladies, why did you call him lady?
It's ok.
I will see you later.
Should we go talk to her and make her come talk to Iyabo?
Or should we just let them do their things naturally?
Faith is an adult, she is not a baby.
I've tried yesterday. --Yes, but, because you know about her.
I believe she should have done that this morning.
Iyabo said she hasn't done it.
I hope and I wish...
...for Iyabo and Faith to come back and reconcile their differences.
Well, let her do her own thing.
You understand.
You know what, let's not even get involved, that's her business.
If she doesn't want to talk...
At the end of the day, she's also your friend.
She's my friend, that's why I feel bad because I don't want to see her tonight...
and Iyabo's saying...
I don't want her there, I don't want her there...
...and I'm like...
...but I'm not going to force her to talk.
Leave me out of it.
Faith is good, she's not good.
Faith is bad, she's not bad.
You claimed to be friends.
And I've said it this time around, I'm not going...
...to get myself in the middle of anybody's drama.
You know, you said, she is my friend and my friend, she is not.
She is my friend, I thought, but now, I'm beginning to think, is she really my friend?
Really?
Yes.
She also stabbed me in the back.
What did she do?
You know the event, that we hosted together?
The Botox party? -Yes
She messed it up.
She didn't come on time and then she took this long...
...bath or whatever it's called.
Are you sure she was the one or you?
No, she was.. -Because you guys kept us waiting...
...for so long, and I thought, like...
I apologized, she caused it.
And so, when you came with your Cinderella dress...
...I thought it was the cinderella dress that was...
No, it wasn't me.
I was ready since 3p.m.
But she said, she has been inside.
Can you see how she lies?
When you guys were engrossed in your friendship...
...I was not there.
So, why are you coming to tell me that your friend stabbed you in the back?
Because she came with her mom, we all couldn't like...
I was the one taking care of her mom, my people were asking her mom...
...have you eaten? Are you ok? She didn't care about her mom...
...she didn't care about her brother, she didn't care about my guests...
...my friends. --Wow.
You ladies, she didn't care about anybody. She doesn't give a damn.
So, that's why I'm upset with her even though...
...she does all this, I'm innocent but she then...
...she throws stones and she hides her hands and I don't like that about her.
Have you had this conversation with your friend? You said, no.
So, why am I the best person for you to come and tell about your friend?
That says a lot about you.
Even Laura, remember when Laura... for the botox party, we're hosting a botox party...
Somebody volunteers and says, I want to do it.
And she shuts her down and says to Laura, will you...
Do you remember?
Doctor Rommel.
We are not touching her...
...because she just had another doctor touch her.
Oh!!! okay let's examine her face. --When?
She was trying to make Laura feel bad and I don't like that.
Oh, I didn't catch that. -At the party.
To be very honest, I didn't see that.
And I had to make Laura feel good, I said Laura...
...let's applaud Laura.
Let's give her a round of applause because Laura started feeling bad...
...for volunteering and I don't like that we are hosting a party and you're messing it up.
You're not showing up, you're not showing accountability.
You don't give a damn.
Doctor Rommel and Faith...
...you're both insane.
I'm done with her, she's fake.
Are you serious?
She's fake!
Wow, this is... this is all shocking to me. -She's fake.
I thought you guys were like...
We were like... I thought so too.
But we are like this, now.
So, like, right now, you can't even....
I can't defend her. -Take a bullet for her.
Bullet? I'm not even taking... Bullet for her? I'm not even taking...
...a kiss for her.
Ah!
The police should just arrest everyone.
Because...
...you both invited us to an event.
And later on, you're saying that...
...you're not friends.
And now, you think, you can gossip with me?
God will not allow that.
Next.
Moving on.
Don't bring your drama to me.
Go and sort it out in the police station.
I'm just getting to know her, I still don't have any problem with her yet.
All these things I'm hearing about her, is kind of new to me.
But, I think I'll... If I get to know all these parts...
...then, I can judge her on it, but it's still a mystery to me.
So, I am right now, at the lawn tennis court...
...playing basketball and waiting for Chioma.
I'm having super fun and...
...just making some hoops you know, it's being a little while.
Well, I finally see Chioma, going back to pick up my water bottle.
And to be honest...
...I just feel, blah.
Hey, Chioma.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm ok.
How are you feeling after yesterday?
Exhausted because obviously, I didn't have...
...enough time to sleep, after the whole chaos.
But...
...I feel like I owe Iyabo an apology, obviously for engaging.
How do you feel if I tell you how to handle your friendship...
...with some other person? It just feels like you are trying to force me.
And...
...they didn't even listen, I said, I don't have a Nigerian number.
As soon as I said that, they just picked up.
You don't have her number?
And then, it came up in three other occasion, I'm like, hey girl.
Can we drop it?
If Faith feels like, I don't want to answer the question...
...because I don't like the way you guys are asking me...
...then own it.
Be like, I don't want to answer the question...
...because I don't like the way you're asking me.
But when you're pretending like, oh, I don't have her number...
...I don't have her international number...
...it's not coming across properly, it's coming across as...
...I don't give a f**k about this girl.
I don't care about Laura.
I think what they expected was, oh, yeah, I have her number.
Or, oh, I haven't got internet at the moment.
Do you have internet? hotspot me, let me call her. --But, that's what I said though.
That's what I said and both of them were saying I'm lying.
So...
...Ok.
At what point do you want...
Because they even... Tania said it, Mariam said it...
...Iyabo said it and I wasn't there.
But the three of them, like, are categorically saying...
...you were like, I don't have her number.
I'm really and truly like Faith...
...step out of the situation for a second, do you understand?
I'm like, I don't have her number. -Chioma, you weren't there.
And that's what I want you to understand.
You weren't there.
I honestly can't see why, Tania...
...Iyabo, Mariam will all make up one particular statement...
...about somebody else. I just don't think that's feasible.
It wasn't, hey, where's Laura? Call her.
Where is your friend? Call her now, call her.
Girl, you just met me.
They told you, call her now?
Call her, call her, then Mariam goes...
...yes, is she not your friend? Don't you have her number?
They actually started it.
And then, for me, it's...
...I'm meeting adults and...
...we all have friends out of this circle.
I'm sitting down there and looking at them like...
...what the hell is going on?
This is at my yard sales? -Yes
And then I didn't want to make it a topic, why?
Because we were there for charity.
If I start going off, just like we did here...
...at the end of the day, how will you feel?
I wasn't even going to address this in the first place...
...because Laura and I already had our own conversation.
We know.
I don't know.
Just... it's just the way that we are and...
...it's the expectation now, you know, it's what we're used to.
Exactly, but I'm not used to proving, Chioma.
The people....
Ok, but can you... so can you understand that them asking you...
...like, call your friend now, can you understand that...
...it's not even coming from a bad place...
...it's just like, this is how we roll, do you understand?
Everybody that is close to somebody, you are responsible for that your friend.
So, where is your friend? Your friend is late your friend is late, like...
...that's just the thing that everybody does.
That was the first time, that I was having...
...or, I've ever had been in that position before.
I don't care if Chioma understands my side or not.
And I understand...
...and she'll be stupid if she doesn't stand by her friend.
But it's also stupid, if you are not able to tell your friend...
...when they're wrong and when they're right.
And then with Iyabo, obviously like, I feel like...
...she's an amazing person, always the peacemaker...
...bringing everyone together and ensuring that everybody vibes.
She's not the kind of person to just get angry for no reason...
...or get upset, you know.
I mean, she is older than all of us.
She does like to be respected.
However...
...she was really offended at the fact that...
...you made a statement that she didn't agree with concerning her...
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
That's when me and you were talking.
I don't ... -but then
That's the... that's the...
Hi Faith.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's hey, hey, hey? --Who's hey, hey, hey
That's what she was saying, I'm not hey.
She was saying hey hey hey?
Yes, am I a dog?
Do I look like a dog?
I think she was saying, Faith, who are you calling, you people?
I think Chioma is being biased, you know.
I understand, you are trying to speak for your friend...
...stick with your friend.
But girl...
...don't tell me my reason for standing up for myself is not valid.
I think, I feel like in that particular situation, a simple...
...Iyabo, give me a second, let me finsih with Chioma and I'll get back to you.
Aarggh!
We're dragging this stuff more...
...than it's supposed to be.
It's not an issue.
When I see Iyabo, I will apologize to her.
Ok.
-Ok.
That's good.
I'm super excited tonight.
Because the D-day is here.
I love the decoration.
I just love the African feel, the adire...
...oh, I love the ayo.
Ok, I love the chairs, I love everything.
Hi, boo.
Yes, I'm loving it -Oh my God!
I just want to have fun tonight and just ignore...
...every negative energy.
Just beautiful.
Alright.
And you have to behave yourself today.
Don't worry, I got you.
Don't spoil my party tonight.
I got you.
As a woman of my word, I'm humble enough to know...
...when to apologize and to say, I'm sorry.
Miss Iyabo.
Thank you for inviting me.
It's a beautiful event, I'm so sorry that I engaged in...
...argument yesterday.
And...
...got you in a bad mood, after all your effort and everything.
Whether you like it or not...
...I am sorry.
And the way you take it, that's your business.
I hope today will be a better day.
Thank you.
And I promised her, no drama tonight.
Hopefully, I keep to my word.
This is my first time, actually, stepping out today.
I woke up with a migraine.
I guess all the yelling and screaming got to me.
Fair lady.
That's right, that's me.
Fair lady.
That's right, that's me.
Fair lady. -Street fighter
I like that name, I'll take it.
You look so sexy.
Ok.
Mrs Nigeria.
Can you stop calling me that?
Wow.
Iyabo went all out.
For promoting our culture, baby.
And there is a mirror.
Yes.
Ha!!!! It's Chioma that needs this mirror.
You just have to... Speak of the angel.
This is Africa on a different level.
Like, Nigeria on steroids.
Iyabo, you've done well with the decoration.
Well done.
I heard my name.
Yes.
I said the mirror is for you.
They know me too well.
I love to look at my own reflection.
So, of course, I know that this mirror...
...was intended for Chioma and I take it.
I'm looking forward to seeing everybody, infact...
...just because of what they did to Faith, yesterday.
I want to look into their eyes and see how they will react...
today, towards Faith.
And see what... If they will, you know, start...
...the bullsh*t they started last night.
Ok.
Laura is here.
You see, I told you, she'll come.
Chioma has won our bet.
I told you, she'll come.
Oh my God, I never knew she was going to come.
Laura, do you like kokoro?
I love...
Thank you.
So, she knows what kokoro is?
Yes, you're the only one, who doesn't. --It's kokoro not kokoros.
It's kokoro.
Chioma.
Tania, you have to teach this girl, yoruba.
Today, my name is Kunle.
A Yoruba man.
I'm saying, hi, to everybody at this party tonight.
I'm not going to say, hi, to Faith.
Because I'm not feeling her right now.
I don't fake all those seeing somebody, faking it.
Later on, I'm going to find a corner and talk to her...
...before I say hello to her.
My hello will come later on, as a goodbye.
Rommel, Rommel --Hello
Hello.
The host with the most. --Hi.
It's a girl's trip, I wasn't expecting a guy to be here.
I almost want to do that to everybody but I'm going to...
African King.
I'm going to hurry up and do my greetings and say...
Happy belated birthday.
Did I see what I just saw?
It seems like there's fire on the mountain between Dr. Rommel and Faith.
What the hell could have happened...
...after that disaster of an event that they both threw together?
Doctor walks in, but then, doesn't talk to his BFF...
...doesn't say, hi, she doesn't say, hi, either.
Why didn't they say, hello?
Ok, probably...
...they were coming from the same room...
Or room beside each other.
There's a fight.
There's a war, infact I'm not fighting Faith again...
...because I want to see the drama.
This kind of drama always makes me happy.
First and foremost, I want to say thank you so much...
...to all of you, for making this day.
It's been twenty five years of me in the industry.
The entertainment industry.
So, it's been a beautiful journey, not an easy one...
...but a very beautiful one.
So, that was why last night, I had to show you guys...
...one of my latest movies, Under The Carpet.
But, there is a beginning...
...a very humble beginning.
And that is, the stage life.
Which started from the stage performance.
You know, so...
...I would like you guys to have a feel...
...of what my humble beginning was, from twenty five years ago.
And there's no way I can do this...
...you know, without introducing you guys...
...to one of my great mentor.
My boss, my uncle, my older brother, my teacher.
And his name is Lasun Ray.
A round of applause.
I love the Ray family actually...
...because I grew up watching these people.
I'm proud to say, Iyabo Ojo...
...is my student.
Yes.
When she came I thought... Will this one stay?
But when I saw the commitment...
...she has been wonderfully progressing.
Now, Uncle Lasun is saying all these about me...
...and my head is swelling.
My head is swelling, I can't help it.
Ok, I'm fine now.
So, I'm not surprised at the level she is today.
And I still pray she continues to grow more and more.
Amen!
Iyabo, I'm telling you today, I am proud of you.
Thank you so much, sir.
So, may God be with you.
Amen!
Thank you for celebrating her. --Amen.
Thank you for coming.
He came with a drama troupe...
...to entertain...
...everyone here today.
I would like you ladies to please turn your chairs to the stage.
So, that you can get to watch this beautiful performance.
Just imagine that I'm, you know, among them, but I'm...
So, basically...
You started off as a dancer?
Yes. --You should go and join them.
You have to join them at some point.
You should join them.
I wish I can see her...
...literally get on floor and break it down.
What are you doing?
He really swallowed that?
Yes.
He really swallowed that?
He picked up fire and ate it.
He'd better not come close to me? I'm so shocked.
Yes.
This fire, oh my God, I'm scared.
What is this guy doing?
Wow!!!
Girl, I'm recording all these and sending it to my son.
It is beautiful to see this part of our culture in display.
Iyabo...
...great job on this one.
How's he doing this?
The music is great, the performance is great...
...you know, the little fire thing is really scaring me.
How is he getting this out of his mouth?
How is he not afraid? Is he going to burn us down?
Is he going to burn himself?
Honestly, I'm so afraid of this right now.
Ok.
This... I can't even believe Iyabo used to do all of these.
I'm...
...very honoured...
...that I have have these amazing people.
You know, with the not so amazing people around me...
...celebrating today with me.
I'm a Lagos girl.
Are you joking?
Girl, stop playing, have you seen Sango live?
I've seen Sango live.
Toyin.
You didn't dance better than me.
They were trying to dance hip hop to the beat.
One more to Iyabo...
...for an outstanding performance from your teacher.
So, they are going to start serving food to you guys.
I don't... I don't want to keep you hungry.
You know the way we did it yesterday?
A lot to eat and drink.
Ahhh.
And while they are bringing the food...
...can you please check under your mats?
You will find like...
Oh God, Iyabo, what's this?
A paper.
Alright so...
It's just a game, it's the first game.
And all you have to do...
...is to read this out and say it in your mother's language.
Ah!
All the English language, you've been speaking.
All the...
Everybody will be exposed today.
Ok, let's start with, Mariam.
It says, the party has not started...
...but the kangaroo has danced until his leg broke.
So...
The party has not started.
Kangaroo has danced until its leg broke.
Kangaroo has a Yoruba name.
Why the exaggeration?
Ok, its leg broke.
What is kangaroo?
Yoruba is deep.
Is that why you had to exaggerate?
It broke, the leg broke.
Kangaroo is...
You lose, you lose. Next person.
Next person -Laura
Laura -Okay so
If a child lifts his father...
...his scrotum will blindfold him.
Alright, so what's that?
So, it says ...
If a child lifts his father scrotum...
...the scrotum of his father will blindfold him.
I feel like, because there is nobody to judge the Igbo.
I swear, it's correct.
Laura's Igbo language is really good.
I know she said, she grew up in Lagos.
But her Igbo is actually really good.
Laura's Igbo language is 3 out of 10.
She can't even speak Igbo language.
I bet, I can speak better Igbo language than her.
Alright.
Faith.
Ok.
I'm very embarrassed to say that...
...I don't know how to speak my dialect.
And I've been trying to Google it and it's not coming out.
It's the fakery for me.
It's the fakery.
So, I'm just going to read it in English.
You don't make the herbs for the eyes with pepper.
You don't mix the what?
I think you are a liar.
You lie a lot.
You were 19years old, going to 20years old, when you left Port Harcourt.
Your...
...hometown.
And your mom is an African woman because we met her, we saw her.
And you can't speak...
your dialect, how is that possible?
You don't make the herbs...
...for the eyes with pepper.
Ok.
But what's your native language? --Ikwerre
Ok.
That's from...
Port Harcourt -Port Harcourt
It's not possible.
You cannot not know anything.
I refuse to believe that...
...it's just not something that makes sense to me.
I am quite disappointed.
I know that girl can speak her language, she's just faking it.
So...
What is zero in Yoruba?
Zero! Zero! Zero!
I caught your shade, I really don't care.
The Pepper in the eye?
I am the Pepper, you are the eye.
My father's farm is very big.
I hate you!
Do you know I didn't really realize until I read it?
And then I was like, oh my God, look at what...
Wow.
Who wrote all these?
Ok, so now...
...we set Tania up.
My father's farm is very big.
ten out of ten.
She said...
penis.
Instead of.
Farm.
So, for that, she's getting a 4 over 5, but she tried, she tried.
I can't believe that... This was supposed to be for Mariam.
I wanted to set Mariam up with that question.
Because it's a bit difficult, you know, and...
...Mariam is always feeling like she understands Yoruba language.
Let me do this later.
Do yours, first.
Imagine.
Because I will get a zero.
When person goes to Rome...
...he or she has to behave like the Romans.
Let's see if you can try. --So...
You said it's easy? -Yes.
When someone...
When someone goes to Rome...
...they'll behave like the Romans.
Oh, God.
Wrong?
You failed.
She's correct.
It's correct, right?
It's the accent. -Listen...
I never knew that she was going to be able to...
...speak Igbo language at all.
But she did speak her Igbo language...
...with a little sprinkle of...
...British.
Ok, Tiannah.
Oh, I'm next.
Tiannah.
Of course, she's the queen of Yoruba.
I think that's actually the language she speaks...
...her main language.
I think English language is kind of like a foreign language to Tiannah.
The snake would have a great roof.
But for its head.
Snake.
Would have a great roof.
But.
For its head.
Hundred!
No, let's give her four over five.
Let her...
You can't get five over five.
I'm going to get five over five.
The female toad said her husband is so sweet...
that when she got married, she carried her husband...
...permanently on the back.
I have no clue what this means.
Best of luck.
I legit think, that his tongue, is going to get cut off...
...by the time he speaks this Igbo language.
Doctor Rommel is a typical Igbo man.
Even while he is speaking English language, you can hear the Igbo accent.
So, Doctor Rommel, I'm sure...
I'll put hundred thousand dollars, Dr. Rommel can speak Igbo language...
...very well.
And I'm sure, that he will get this...
...correctly.
The female toad said to her husband...
Rommel...
This is... This is the fakery for me.
I cannot deal. I cannot deal.
You can speak fluent Igbo language...
...yet, you've been speaking phonetics all along.
Like, we are all same here...
...you don't have to fake the English language...
...and the accent.
That when she got married to him...
Her husband is so sweet.
She carried her husband permanently on her back.
Hey!! -100%
He got it.
Dr. Rommel.
I got it, right?
Ah, master.
Ok.
We give it to you, we give it to you.
You took Igbo language to a different level.
Don't speak English language again.
Someone who is proud to speak his language very well...
...and still speak English langauge very well.
Not like some people, that are claiming...
...they don't understand their mother's tongue.
And then, they are speaking...
...the English language is not aligning.
It's traveling everywhere.
Ok, so, mine is, those who defecate at night....
...see the ghost grasshopper.
If Iyabo doesn't get four or five over five.
Like, I will be very disappointed.
Then why... Why did she have to create this event?
Those who defecate at night, see the ghost grasshopper.
Eh!
I didn't even know that...
Did she get it?
It's God that saved you. -Yes.
You wanted to give me this one?
Iyabo.
I tried.
And it is my event.
And my game.
So, I'll just give myself four over five.
So, the winner of this game is who?
Doctor Rommel!!!!
The energy in the room is picking up now...
...that Doctor Rommel is blasting us
in fluent Igbo language, I'm like....
What happened to your American accent, sir?
Where did it go? Is it in your car, sir?
But yes...
...that is really making me happy.
And I think, it's a great way to end this game.
Ok, so...
...the next one is going to be a drama.
So, it's time for the ladies to put on their acting skills and...
...give it their best.
Ok.
I would like you guys to turn your chairs again.
Sorry.
I don't want you guys to sleep.
We're going to keep having fun tonight.
Here we go.
Acting game? Ok.
I'm looking forward to it, even though I've never...
I've acted one time before...
...in a series and that was it.
You are just a fake life girl that tries to act like you have money.
But then, you don't have money.
You keep on incurring debts. -Okay
And she is like coming to...
...take her money.
Debtor? I don't even know how to borrow money.
Because if I borrow money, I won't sleep.
So, how would I know how to act this?
As a good actor, you must learn to mime.
You must mime the slap.
You must learn the...
It's acting. --Give me my money
Don't slap me.
Iyabo.
Ok, so, let's start.
Mariam, the debtor.
And Laura
What do you call Laura in Yoruba language?
Owner.
Hello.
Mariam. -How are you doing?
Hi Laura. - I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
How are you? -I'm good.
Please, that money I gave you...
...a few months ago, I want the money back.
Has my account officer not sent it?
I haven't heard from your account officer.
I told him to send it since last week.
But Laura looks like an aggressive creditor.
So I'm actually looking forward...
I'm not looking forward to her manhandling me.
Why, why...
Can't we just switch?
I'm not around, I'm in Paris right now. -I will come to your house, don't worry.
I'm in Paris -Don't worry
Don't worry. -I'm in Paris.
I know that you're not in Paris, Mariam.
I'm in Paris.
I know.
I know you are not in Paris, open the door, please.
Mariam?
Where's my money?
Calm down.
No, no, no, no. --Aunty, calm down.
Call your account officer now -Aunty aunty.
I think my friend Laura...
...is giving us the best performance.
But I don't see the... whoever the other person is.
Where's this guy? Come let's disgrace this woman. --Insurance.
Insurance. Aunty, please.
Come here, give me my money, this minute.
I will give it to Laura, she won that.
She won that. I will give it to her.
Good girl, good job... Good job, Laura.
So, Laura is the winner, a round of applause for Laura.
It plays out.
It plays out, that's why she is a drama queen.
She can just start a drama anyhow.
That acting skill is in her. Laura, you better start acting.
We need the cheating husband and the wife...
...and the mistress.
For wife...
...I will always be classy.
Yes.
What's your character?
Mistress. -Mistress, we need you.
I need more than one mistress, though.
So, I picked the card that said mistress.
I thought, should I do it?
I'm the only single one, they are going to think, hmmm...
...but you know what? It's acting.
If you can't act a role that you don't resonate with...
...then what the hell is acting about, so...
I'm going to go for it.
Cheating husband.
Yes. -That's you.
And so, let's get another chair for the...
My wife.
Chioma, I'm beginning to suspect you.
I hope you are not a mistress.
You are going to be angry with him, that, I can't...
You say, I love you, you say, don't tell me you love me?
You told me you're going to divorce that woman.
Oh, I have already sent the divorce letter.
I know acting is very rigorous and people have to make...
you follow all the scripts and yeah.
So, it's not for me.
No!
My baby.
How are you?
I'm not fine?
What's going on baby?
Why are you still with her?
With whom? I don't...I'm with you. --With that woman.
Chioma is so convincing, she is such a good actress.
I'm amazed.
You don't.
She's the mother of my kids.
It doesn't matter, the kids will be fine. I will look after them.
I'm a great mother too.
I'll take care of you.
I think...
Chioma was actually born to be a mistress.
Or she is a mistress.
We will go to Paris, we will go to Milan -I've been to Paris
London --I've been to...
We've been to all these places. -Moscow.
I want more.
The way she's emulating that character.
You will know she has experience, in that field.
Your love is fine, but I want the ring.
Secure the situation, like, you can't...
Oh, please, please...
Tell your husband, I will.. I will give him a phone call...
I'll make sure he knows that...
Excuse me?
My husband? -How are you, my darling?
Which husband? -Who is she?
That's... that's my... uhmm...
That's... uhmm... oh, yeah.
That's my colleague's wife.
She is sitting on your lap?
Rommel! -No, no, no, no, no.
What?
Doctor Rommel is killing this role, I'm actually angry.
Like, I'm genuinely pissed off, like...
How dare you lie to me?
No, no, no.
Your colleague's who? -Do you know what?
I'm having a divorce.
If I was the wife, I would have...
...grab the balls.
You know, when you use the balls as a stress reliever.
All the Igbo accent you spoke earlier will come out.
We are definitely done this time around.
No. -That's it
But you said that you... you said that you've divorced her...
...you were going to divorce her already.
What do you mean? Why is she asking for a divorce?
She is my wife but she...
What do you mean your wife? You said that you are done with her.
You know what, I need my top back, darling.
Oh, no, please.
I don't have to fight dirty.
That's never in my own character to start with.
So, I think that role kind of fit who I was.
Or who I'm still going to be if I get married again.
Please out!
Out!
I'm going to give this to Chioma, Chioma...
...thrashed me.
Chioma is a good actress.
I even started believing, am I dating this girl?
If you think, Faith is the winner let me see your hands up?
One person.
I don't feel like Faith gave it her all...
...considering the fact that this is what you're trying to...
...to get into, I...
I wish there was more drama but then it comes back to...
...not letting yourself go and not being your true self.
Because if you were a wife, that's not how you will act.
Ok, so if you think doctor is the winner, let me see your hands up?
Now, if you think Chioma is the winner, let me see yout hands up?
She killed it.
Congratulations.
You need to come and take a bow, you tried.
This is my first acting debut, I've never even tried it.
And you nailed it.
Yeah, I won... I love to win.
So, what role are you playing?
Betrayer's friend.
Betrayer.
So, you're going to be seated.
You cheated. You... you snatched her boyfriend.
You are on your own.
Do you understand? So, you are the betrayer.
So, she's going to come with....
And she looks like a boyfriend snatcher.
That's right.
The fair people snatch a lot.
Honestly.
And they betray too. --Honestly.
Hello, stupid woman, husband snatcher.
Mad woman, so, you won't the answer the phone?
Why are you on the line, if you won't respond?
Stupid woman.
Cheap prostitute.
If you don't stay away from my baby,
I'll deal with you mercilessly.
I feel like, acting is something I love.
I get to enjoy it.
And I'm happy Iyabo is bringing that side of me out tonight.
Where are you?
Get the hell out of my phone, you are not saying anything sensible.
She hung up on me?
What sort of idiot is this?
Tania...
is a street girl.
If you look at her color and allow it to deceive you.
Tania is the child of a pepper seller.
You are just talking...
What can you do? Nothing.
Stupid woman.
I thought I told you I'll ruin your life.
Ah, she has taken off her scarf.
We're in trouble.
Toyin.
Ah!
Darling.
Don't go close to her husband...
..you could tell.
Trust you...
...points taken everybody.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I don't know if this is real.
If this is a joke, if this is acting.
I actually can't tell the difference and...
...maybe that's a good thing, but honestly...
I'm scared for both of them.
Tiannah and Tania, epic acting.
You know what, the crown should go to them.
Alright, please.
Can we give both of them a round of applause.
So, if I was auditioning for a movie.
I think all of them have gotten a role.
The only two people who would not have a role in my script
is
Faith
and
Mariam.
So, they're both good in having a proper fighting role.
When it comes to acting.... No!
But my best overall was...
...Chioma.
Doctor Rommel.
Yes please.
You're still owing us... You kept us waiting for five hours.
I'm sorry.
You know what...
Faith and I hosted, we didn't want you people to be out there.
That was our initial intention.
So, things happened, there were delays, that had occurred.
I didn't know who -Which was from your side
No, it looked like it was from my side.
But it wasn't from my side.
There's obviously something deep going on between Faith and Dr. Rommel.
A couple of days ago,
they were like, literally ballroom dancing.
After keeping us waiting for five hours.
So, what the hell went wrong?
I really need to know what's going on.
Why couldn't you guys come out, to like, at least acknowledge us.
And we were waiting... -Sorry.
Because that's the part that was rude.
I take responsibility for that part because...
...because I should have just said you know what...
...since I'm a perfectionist, I like to do things a certain way...
...take charge, do what control but I was very trusting of Faith.
And you know, there was last minute...
...things that happened, I can do this, we can do this, so...
...I will talk to her more about it later on.
I think that in the future, if we are to co-host ever again...
...which I doubt, I think it's always good to be on the same page.
You are dead.
Don't talk to me when you see me, just keep it pushing.
Why are you trying to bring you and Faith's drama here?
You are trying to bring Faith's drama here in front of everyone.
And you've refused to tell them that you had said so many things...
...about Faith to me.
Like, are you serious?
Do you want to tell Faith all the things you told me this afternoon?
Sure.
I haven't been able to speak to her directly because...
...I haven't seen nor heard from her in more than a week now.
Did you call her?
Uhmm...
No, I didn't call her and in my defense because there was no reason to, I felt...
if you organize the whole thing and the other person didn't do much...
...she should actually be calling to say...
...we did a good job, thanks to you.
But it never happened.
So, I was kind of waiting for her to speak to me about...
But you guys organized the event together?
We did, but a lot of it was kind of one-sided.
That's what I've been hinting at...
And that's part of the lateness.
Part of the things not showing up on time.
Part of all the entourage that I want to glam myself.
I need a room.
All those things were not talked about before...
...which we could have talked about and said, oh, you need...
...a suite to glam up? Fine.
Or you need to have a bath? Fine.
So, Faith is... is very calm.
And Faith just told me that she doesn't want to exchange words with Dr. Rommel.
Because I mean, it's not a good look, so yeah.
You guys had a conversation about this?
We haven't and that's why I think we'll do it...
...at a different time because of Iyabo's event -I think it's important you discuss it.
Yes.
And that's why, I was trying to just say, you know what, some other time.
You guys, just discuss it personally later. -Personally
Doctor Rommel is supposed to be your friend.
And if he is complaining...
...about you.
Right now.
That speaks a whole lot, about who you are, even to your friends.
Can we all raise our glass on, one, two, three...
...and all you have to say, I'm a champion.
Are you ready?
Yes.
One.
Two... Three.
I'm a champion!
Bravo, Iyabo.
You have surpassed yourself.
You've been a great host.
Great venue.
Great energy.
And thank you for making us come out.
Next on The Real Housewives of Lagos
I'm not saying, I'm not going pay her.
But not like the kind of pay you are talking about.
She's my daughter.
So, because she's your daughter, that's why...
It's a charity organization.
So, Priscilla's name is charity, right?
I wanted to hear from you, your point of view, as per...
...what happened at the resort.
Even though I had things I wanted to talk to you about...
first.
When I start...
...I honestly don't want to get interrupted.
