Brace yourselves, Nigerian reality TV enthusiasts! The drama-filled reunion episode for season 2 of “The Real Housewives of Lagos”—RHO Lagos season 2—is finally arriving. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 27th, 2024.
According to a press release from Showmax, the date above is when the fireworks are set to begin. Before you settle in with your popcorn, here’s a look at who will (and who won’t) be bringing the heat in person:
The Outs and the Almost-Outs
Actress Iyabo Ojo will be noticeably absent from the reunion festivities. While the exact reason remains under wraps, fans can still expect to see her virtually. Toyin Lawani is confirmed to be making a special Zoom appearance.
The MIA Cast Members
Adding another layer of intrigue are Tania Omotayo and Chioma Ikokwu. Their conspicuous absence from the official trailer has set rumour mills churning. This could be connected to their past criticisms about the show’s editing, which they felt portrayed them in an unfair light.
Will they address these concerns during the reunion, or will their no-show become a major talking point itself? Only time will tell.
Buckle Up for Drama
The trailer itself offers a glimpse of what promises to be an explosive episode. We see Laura Ikeji taking centre stage in a heated confrontation with Dr. Rommel. This hints that unresolved issues and past conflicts will be right at the forefront of the reunion.
So get ready for a tell-all showdown as the Lagos housewives revisit the season’s most talked-about moments, settle scores, and perhaps even mend fences (or create new ones). This is definitely a reunion you won’t want to miss!
Journalist Latasha Ngwube will host the event. According to the statement,
“Latasha will guide viewers through an interesting reunion, promising plenty of drama, surprises, and candid conversations with the cast.”
Latasha said,
“I’m delighted to dive into the fabulous world of excitement and drama these ladies have created.”
As the first woman to ever host The Real Housewives reunion in Africa and as a huge fan of the show, getting to discuss some of my favourite moments and ask those burning questions thrills me. Expect it all! Big fashion! Laughter and emotions as we unpack the glamour, drama, and everything in an unforgettable season two.”

In season 2 of the show, two new Housewives, fashion entrepreneur Tania Omotayo and former model and socialite Faith Morey, were introduced to the original cast. This cast comprised Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, stylist Toyin Lawani Adebayo, businesswomen Chioma Ikokwu, Laura Ikeji-Kanu, and Mariam Timmer.
Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice explained the selection of Latasha as the host for the RHO Lagos Season 2 reunion:
“Latasha has been a pillar of Nigerian pop culture for many years now, making her the perfect host to spark engaging conversations among the ladies. With her vibrant energy and insightful approach, this reunion is set to be unforgettable.”
The statement adds that,
“In this reunion episode, fans will get to see the ladies get together to discuss the highs and lows that defined RHO Lagos Season 2. The reunion will also provide a platform for the Housewives to address rumours, clarify misconceptions, and express their unfiltered feelings about their fellow cast members.“
Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Lagos was nominated for the Best Unscripted Series award at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards. But that’s not all! You can finally see the reunion episode, where all the drama unfolds.
It premieres exclusively on Showmax on Wednesday, March 27th, 2024. In case you missed it, all 12 episodes of season 2 are also available to watch on Showmax.
