In case you missed it, The Real Housewives of Lagos is serving up the drama once again! This week’s episode was packed with tension, subtle jabs, and a touch of unbothered luxury. The cliques are forming, silent feuds are brewing, and some of our housewives are making it clear that they do not come second to anyone.
If you thought last season was chaotic, episode 6 just set the stage for even bigger clashes. From Sophia’s gifting saga to the boat snobbery, the ladies held nothing back.
Sophia’s TSM Gift Sparks Feud with Dabota
Sophia Momodu proved once again that her shade is as stylish as her wardrobe. On the receiving end of this shade was Dabota.
At Dabota’s bonfire night with the ladies, after an intense stare down between both divides, Sophia decided that it was the perfect time to give everyone gifts. The shocker? She gifted everyone except Dabota, leaving the self-proclaimed Queen of Queens unimpressed. Her excuse? “Dabota, unlike my room, this wasn’t intentional.” Sure, Sophia.
Dabota wasn’t fooled. In her confessional, she called out the move for what it was a deliberate snub. This move was the fuel that escalated the drama on this episode.
Sophia vs. Mariam: The “Read a Book” Moment
At some point the other cast members will learn to approach Sophia with caution. In a game of ‘never have I ever’ the ladies discussed personal habits, but things took an unexpected turn when Sophia, taking the conservative route, dismissed the idea of vibrators and porn.
When Mariam questioned her stance and her constant need to bring up her reading habits, Sophia shuts it down with a simple response: “You should read often.”
A clapback delivered with a straight face? Pure Housewives gold. Surprisingly, Mariam didn’t take offense.
Carolyna & Diiadem’s Cold War?
While Sophia was all for telling it like it is, Carolyna wasn’t wasting her energy. After noticing that Diiadem’s energy towards her was off, she brushed it aside, saying, “I have zero tolerance for bullshit.” Dabota and Mariam, ever the mediators, encouraged a sit-down between them. But let’s be honest, how often do peace talks actually work on this show?
The Boat vs. Yacht Drama: Sophia Makes It Clear; She Moves Differently
The Sophia vs. Dabota saga didn’t end with the gift snub. The next battleground? Sustainability night, and the topic of conversation, was once again Sophia’s room conditions and luxury transportation.
Still standing on the fact that Sophia was a plus one with no right to outrightly complain, Dabota refuses to take the high road and lays it all down with Sophia, matching her energy in an exchange that had them trading words and leaving the other housewives stunned.
Dabota expected all the ladies to board the yacht she arranged, but Sophia had her own plans, her own boat, and zero apologies.
Her response? “You have to be commercial, but I don’t.”
Can these ladies ever reach a resolution?
Final Thoughts: The Power Plays Have Begun
Sophia is unapologetic, Dabota is a force, Diiadem is speaking her mind, Mariam is staying out of drama, and Carolyna is picking her battles wisely. This episode set up some major conflicts that are bound to explode in the coming weeks. The real question is, who will come out on top?
