The Real Housewives of Abuja episode 11 recap: "I will not be going to South Africa"

In this episode of The Real Housewives of Abuja, Arafa is taking the ladies to South Africa, but Comfort says she won’t go unless their relationship improves. She still wants an apology from Arafa, and it hurts more because Arafa already apologised to Tutu.

Yet she arrives in Cape Town with the ladies despite not mending the relationship. They are staying in a luxurious villa with lush vegetation, and Arafa hopes they have lots of fun! She also hopes there’s no drama.

But trouble arrives as the ladies get their rooms. Tutu Pie doesn’t like hers. “Arafa took me to the BQ, the room where you normally keep the help,” she complains. The other ladies are mindlessly jubilating about the size and beauty of their rooms, but Tutu goes upstairs with a sour mood. She tells them she is moving to Raddison. “I see there’s some disrespect here,” she laments. “I am not staying here. I can’t be here. God forbid.” Princess tries to comfort her, telling her she has a private space, but she is not having it. She won’t stay in the basement; as usual, someone tries to make space for her.

Now, let’s get into the other juicy events of the week.

Tutu skips dinner

Arafa treats the ladies to a nice dinner. She suggests they improve their camaraderie by saying what they like and dislike about the other. The ladies excitedly engage; Comfort has reservations because they must also tell each other areas to improve.

But Tutu is entirely uninterested. We already know Tutu will show it when she’s angry. She is still unhappy after the basement room fiasco and has carried the attitude to Arafa’s dinner.

“So, based on the events that happened yesterday, I won’t be contributing much,” she tells everyone. “I am not in a good place. I don’t want to use the wrong words, but it is almost like I don’t give a shit.” Later, she storms out of the discussion.

Tutu and Princess fighting

Every time Tutu storms out, they follow her and try to appease her, but no one is doing that today. They carry on with their discussion. Even Princess isn’t tolerating her tantrum. “Bye, Felicia, see you. Sleep tight,” she comments. “We see through you, and we are not encouraging or enabling you anymore.”

Tutu’s tantrums and anger go beyond the room issue. She is angry at Princess over something that happened several episodes ago. Remember when everyone tried to get Tutu a man? She is still mad about Princess’s involvement in that discussion.

Garri with Groundnut in SA

Comfort doesn’t like the food served in South Africa, but she is prepared for the situation. She brought Garri and Groundnut as backup. Arafa can’t stop laughing; she can’t believe her girl brought Garri all the way from Abuja. “We can remove you from Naija, but we can’t take the Naija out of you,” Arafa says as she continues to laugh.
