Laura Ikeji-Kanu takes a new outlook on The Real Housewives of Lagos Season 2
After an intense first season on The Real Housewives of Lagos, Laura Ikeji-Kanu is stepping into the new season with renewed vigour and a calmer perspective. Reflecting on her previous experiences, she confesses, "The first season was too toxic for me."
This realisation has inspired her to navigate the drama-filled waters of Season 2 with a different outlook. "I'll be ignoring a lot of unnecessary drama this season. I’ll just be happy, understand people more, and just enjoy the show," Laura affirms.

This mindset seems to extend to her relationships on the show as well. Commenting on the new cast members, Laura shared that she’s comfortable with Faith Morey, someone she knew before the show, and finds Tania Omotayo sweet.
With the promise of a more introspective and tolerant Laura, fans can tune in to see if this new outlook lasts. The Real Housewives of Lagos is currently streaming on Showmax, with new episodes dropping every Friday.
