Countdown to The Real Housewives of Lagos S3 finale

After weeks of jaw-dropping moments, shifting alliances, and designer showdowns, The Real Housewives of Lagos is heading for its Season 3 finale, and if you thought you’d seen it all, think again. 

From luxury vacations that turned into battlefields to friendships that cracked under pressure, this season has been nothing short of explosive. Dabota and Carolyna’s face-off over an ex-husband? Diiadem, finding her voice in the group? Sophia learning the hard way that, in this circle, alliances are fluid. Every moment has been reality TV gold. 

But with the season wrapping up, and the finale dropping on Showmax on 31 March 2025, the big question remains: Who will walk away “victorious”, and who’s leaving with grudges that will spill over into the next season? 

The season that gave us everything 

RHOLagos Season 3 took things up a notch, bringing in new faces and deeper conflicts; fans even saw reconciliation and restitution. While fans expected the usual mix of luxury and drama, this season proved that high society is unpredictable.  

Dabota: Dabota didn’t come to play. From the moment she joined, her presence shook the group. But her differences with Carolyna made things even messier, leading to one of the season’s biggest showdowns. 

Carolyna: Throughout the season, Carolyna held her own in confrontations, but in a surprising turn, she offered an apology to Laura for their past conflicts. Whether it was genuine closure or just another layer to their complicated history, fans had plenty to say about the unexpected moment. 

Mariam: Mariam never held back. Always armed with a sharp comeback, she kept the group on their toes. Her ability to say things exactly as they are? Unmatched. 

Sophia: Sophia had a rocky first season, joining the group late. She struggled to find her footing while navigating the group’s existing dynamics. But if one thing’s for sure, she blended in and blended in well. 

 Diiadem: Diiadem gave us everything this season. From her sweet friendship with Dabota to being spoiled by her man, she embodied the soft life while still knowing how to hold her own. 

Laura: Laura remained unpredictable. One moment, she was trying to keep the peace, and the next, she found herself in the middle of the drama, whether by choice or not. 

With the final episode just around the corner, anything can happen. Who will reconcile? Who will leave with unresolved tension? And more importantly, who’s already plotting for next season? 

More Housewives, more drama 

The Real Housewives franchise isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and if you’ve been living for the drama, lavish lifestyles, and unpredictable friendships on The Real Housewives of Lagos, then you’re in for even more tea with The Real Housewives of Durban and The Real Housewives of Potomac 

The Real Housewives of Durban S5
