6 October 2023

Mariam Timmer is ready for the drama in The Real Housewives of Lagos Season 2

The last season of The Real Housewives of Lagos painted Mariam Timmer as the underdog, a title she embraced. Despite previously being a watcher in the background, Mariam's made her intentions this season clear: "Trust me, they're watching now."

Gearing up to portray a more genuine side, Mariam is prepared to share her journey of motherhood, her marital experiences, and her challenges with fertility. She teases fans with an unapologetic version of herself, saying, "I’m still nice, but it’s the no-nonsense Mariam this period."

While her easy-going nature made it smooth sailing last season, Mariam promises a more assertive stance this time around. Quick to crown herself as both the shadiest and most fashionable housewife, she combines her playful self-praise with heartfelt honesty. Reflecting on past dynamics, particularly her longstanding bond with Toyin, Mariam shows she's not one to hold onto grudges.

Anticipation mounts as Mariam gears up to show fans her full spectrum this season, from her lively, fun side to her unyielding assertiveness. Catch all the drama of The RHOLagos S2 exclusively on Showmax.
