The Real Housewives of Abuja S1

The Real Housewives franchise is back in Nigeria, and this time it hits the city of power, Abuja.

The Real Housewives of Abuja follows the lives of six influential and successful women - Arafa, Comfort Booth, OJ Posharella, Princess Jecoco, Samantha Homossany and Tutupie - as they navigate their opulent lives, relationships, family and businesses.

RHOAbuja is the second Nigerian instalment of the hit franchise and the 21st international version of The Real Housewives format. It comes on the heels of The Real Housewives of Lagos, which broke first day streaming records in Nigeria when it launched on Showmax in April 2022. RHOLagos would go on to emerge as one of the 10 most watched titles on Showmax in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa in 2022.

All episodes of The Real Housewives of Abuja are streaming on Showmax.
