6 Nigerian celebrities we think should be cast for The Real Housewives of Lagos S2
It’s reigning reality TV shows!
The first teaser for the second season of The Real Housewives of Lagos S2 dropped last week and social media has been ablaze, especially given the addition of two new housewives.
With the full identity of the two new housewives yet to be revealed, we’ve decided to cast them ourselves. Here are the six celebrities we think will make a good addition to the show and definitely keep the conversation going.
Nigerians take your pick:
Toke Makinwa
Big Toks for a reason! An established media mogul, host, and Real Housewives material. We
just know that the parties and hangouts will be epic with a personality like hers on the show.
Known for her vibrant lifestyle, luxurious ventures, and outspoken nature, she is sure to shake
up the dynamic among the existing housewives.
Bobrisky

The mother that mothered their mother is the Mummy of Lagos!
Bob is arguably the biggest woman in Lagos. Those wigs, the jewelry, and if her beef with Big Paps is anything to go by, she knows how to dish it! We just need a face-off between herself and Chioma.
Mercy Aigbe

Mercy vs. Iyabo. We will pay top dollar to witness these two industry heavyweights have a row. We want it, you want it, and we should have it.
Mercy Aigbe has been the topic of so many conversations and has come out strong each time; she’s a real housewife baddie. What else is needed?
Sophie Momodu

Mama Imade and her social media antics. We need the tea, and she’ll serve it hot hot. OBO might just not survive if she’s cast. This will give her a chance to be more than Davido’s baby mama and Dele Momodu’s niece. We’re all about uplifting women here.
Brb, calling Darey right now!
Chioma Adeleke

If Sophie Momodu is cast, why can’t Chioma be? No bad blood, just peace, light, and a sprinkle of
vawulence. And the show will definitely be a good family reunion for both women.
Annie Idibia

If there’s one person drama follows, it's Annie Idibia. She should go on trips with the ladies, sip champagne, eat sushi, and have the occasional gbas gbos. The dream lifestyle fr! Without a question, she would dish out the content we have all been looking for, and it doesn't hurt that she needs a girl’s squad.
Find out if we’re right when the two new housewives are unveiled. We pin here!
