on The Real Housewives of Lagos.
So, one of the reason why I called Hadiza to come, is that...
I'm trying to make enquiries.
I've been trying to have a baby.
I want Nova to have a sibling.
Oh yeah.
That only kid syndrome, is a thing, it's a thing.
I was the one taking care of her mom.
My people were asking her mom...
...have you eaten?
Are you okay?
She didn't care about her mom.
She didn't care about her brother.
She didn't care about my guest.
My friends, you ladies.
She didn't care about anybody.
She doesn't give a damn.
So, that's why I'm upset with her.
Even though she does all these...
I'm innocent, but she then...
She throws stones and she hides her hands...
And I don't like that about her.
I'm done with her, she's fake.
Are you serious -- She's fake.
Faith is good, she is not good.
Leave me out of it.
No one knows the kingdom better than a queen who runs it.
I make drama look so fabulous.
I am the definition of family...
Loyalty and class.
I don't have attitude, I have standards.
I am a woman with many crowns.
King of fashion, star maker.
Business mogul.
But the first crown I wear is...
Super Mom.
My family and securing the bag...
will always be my priority.
The fact that I like peace...
doesn't mean I'm not ready for war.
In this game, it's me versus me.
It's my world.
I always come out on top.
I'm fragile like a flower, yet fragile like a bomb.
You can watch me blossom or watch me burn.
Motherhood is my life.
Fashion is my forte.
The six feet Amazon goddess is here.
It's the final day at the resort.
And we are all excited because we are going home today.
But of course, Iyabo has got another thing up her sleeves...
planned for the ladies and we are going to go and find out.
We are just going to pick this card and whatever number you have...
will be the first person to start.
And yes, it is called the Barracks Game Challenge.
I and Doctor Rommel are going to be the judge for today.
Who? - I'm number three
Who's one?
Two. -Laura is one.
As the leader that I am.
Okay. -So, you're two?
Only me.. me, myself and I will win this activity.
Go! let's go! -Come on, come on!
You can do it. Yes!
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Don't slow down. -You got it...
I don't understand or know how my long foot...
is going to fit in those little tyres.
Are you ready?
One.
Two.
Go!
Try harder, harder.
This game is pretty straightforward.
But it requires...
tough tasks.
I want to participate in the challenge...
But they're not letting me participate in the challenge.
I think everybody's just kind of worried about me.
Somebody is about to win.
I can see it coming.
And we have a winner.
Yes, okay, go.
Did you guys not play with puzzles as kids?
Did you guys not do puzzles?
Because I don't understand.
It's not rocket science.
This is like the easiest thing ever.
Keep going. Your leap.
So, even if you went slower...
You want to go that way? Okay.
What are you... are you choosing the cubes?
I'm not.
Okay, go go go go go let's see...
Mariam is done and now we have...
Chioma.
I need to go and help my girl.
No...
I'm going to cheat on this one.
I need to help my girl.
Oh my God, what did I do?
You were helping her. -No, I did not.
You were.
Just like, showing her some stuff.
Come and show me too. -Let's go, good job.
Good job, good job. -See where I am.
Like this...
You can hold it like this, see...
See my fingers.
Two fingers.
Mariam, you're supposed to do an S, you cheat.
I'm doing an S.
Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming, keep...
Oh, we got a second person over there.
Well, you could tell we're friends of the same feathers.
I never did puzzle growing up.
I don't think I knew what a puzzle was, until I moved to the US.
One...
Gently.
Come on Tania, you can do this.
Don't let me down.
Don't let me down please.
One more.
This Tania has a lot that we don't know about her.
Today, she's finishing early.
So, you've only got two points.
Good job.
Awesome job.
-What next? what next?
You got how many points?
Three points!
You are... You are leading so far, Chioma.
I'm pretty shocked Iyabo is helping me out with the game.
Uhmm...
I was thinking, she was going to give me the same attitude from the previous night.
Uhmm...
Well, if she didn't help me, we will probably sleep here tonight.
So...
Thank you Iyabo.
Somewhere, I just don't know where. -Let's go closer.
And help them. -Okay.
Since they don't know how to play puzzle.
Okay.
So, they are doing...
Duos now, duos.
Two...
Two people.... -We're just going to help, because, like....
Losers!!
It's becoming ridiculous.
Laura and Faith, should have not been in this game.
They are dragging us back.
They are slowing us down.
Me, Tania and Mariam, finished a solid one hour ago.
And these heifers are still fixing puzzles.
Like baby girl, it's the simple puzzle.
The answer is right there, what are you doing?
Like everyone at this point, has to help them because...
they simply don't get it.
They should have assisted me earlier, now they are assisting me.
Come, come and do it, come and do it my girls.
Do it for me, so that, I can go and win.
[Overlapping chattering]
All the way here.
Or there, wherever you want - Yeah
This is cheating.
I feel like, this game was the perfect injection that we all needed.
After such a tense atmosphere, with the fight between Faith and Mariam.
All the ladies needed the positive energy, the positive vibes...
and the burst of adrenaline.
And I think, it was the perfect choice that Iyabo made.
Alright, so, let's all say...
Champion!!
Champion!!!
So, what did you think about the trip?
I had a great time. -It was good
It was very relaxing -But I think it's amazing, I mean...
Asides from the drama, obviously. -Yeah, that was ridiculous.
So, after the games...
Chioma, Dr. Rommel and I, are just having a conversation.
I really want to get into his head, about the things that he said...
Last night, I was speaking to...
Well, I was whispering and gossiping.
So, I had a sit down with Faith. We actually went to yoga.
And then, we went to, like, a cafe afterwards.
And we were talking and I was like, you know, like, it's a bit ridiculous...
Like, why would you have left us waiting for so long?
Like, the other part of the event was great.
But that first half was really disrespectful, like, nobody welcomed us.
We had no drinks, not even water.
Even the music started playing after the fact, you know...
Like, what was going on? And she said, oh that...
Her driver didn't show up.
Well, it's unfortunate that this.. this happened...
Here at the retreat because I think, we all wanted it to be...
fun, we came here for that and...
I don't want to go so deep in details, but, because you're asking some questions...
She is my friend and she remains my friend.
We are just not in a good space at the moment.
It's a different energy from last night.
This is not the vibes that you were giving us.
Last night, you were on heat.
And now, you're kind of like, meek.
And it's not adding up to me.
I still feel like, there's a disconnect somewhere.
It wasn't a good look? -It wasn't.
Why did you guys keep us for five hours?
I promise you, it wasn't a good look.
it wasn't a good look for us and we didn't want that.
Oh my gosh, what is Chioma talking about?
I didn't even know what happened at the moment...
it was happening, until later on.
Because I was just wondering, why there was some delay.
11 o'clock, 12 o'clock.
We were supposed to meet together, do stuff.
Get ready and make sure everything was all good.
So, I was there 10 o'clock.
And you know...
If I remember where I was... probably, past three, she arrived and...
Uhmm, not that... not that... that cannot happen.
This is Lagos.
From what I gathered, she had a car problem.
You asked the question? I sent my driver to pick her up.
Now...
That being said.
Just that delay, from arriving late, taking a long bath.
The lady who was doing the...
event planning.
They had to kind of like...
wait for all of that to be done.
Actually, I just saw her.
Iyabo called me last minute, like, are you coming? I'm like...
Of course, anything for Iyabo.
So, when I got here...
I was looking forward to seeing her but just things happen.
I felt that distance, that coldness, so...
And that's what I was trying to bring up...
At the wrong time, at Iyabo's event. - I see
So, I got up to say...
Iyabo, you've done a great job, 25years, we love you and everything but...
And because you know, when I then said that...
I...I wanted to talk to Faith personally but...
I just saw her body language was not open.
To be honest, like...
We don't even really understand what their relationship is.
We don't even know what's going on between them.
What happened? What it was before? Where is it going?
Like, we just...
We have no clue.
At what point did you disconnect?
Because you know, the Botox, she's the Botox.
Everybody... We were all participating, it was great.
And we all left. -We had to make a show.
You know... -What happened?
We couldn't do that to you guys.
Imagine being late and then coming on the show...
So, basically you want... -I had to pretend...
Honestly, so, you guys were not, like...
cool with each other at that point, but you just....
Yeah, they were a little... some tension already.
But we had to pull it off.
It showed in the dance -We had to pull it up.
The dance was not... There was a disconnect for sure.
You know why? Because we did not rehearse.
It wasn't a good look, honestly. -It was... It was just...
And I feel like regardless, you should have just come out...
Been like, guys, honestly, there are so...
You don't have to tell us what's going on.
I'm telling you a little bit of what I can tell you now.
I can't go deep, she's my friend.
I can't tell you all the intricacies of what's going on.
But you could have been, like, listen guys.
Yeah.
There's a lot going on, so, honestly...
I imploy you to just be patient, we'll be there.
I'm so sorry, do you understand?
If Faith and I don't talk anymore...
It'll be awkward that I'm talking with other people.
No, you don't know how deeply hurt I am.
But to round up, I will say this...
Uhmm, Faith is your friend.
She's my friend.
She brought you to the group.
The reason why she got attacked...
at Iyabo's event, is because...
The person who brought her to the group...
didn't feel like she was being...
super nice to that person, do you understand?
People just felt like... -Who? who?
Laura. -Oh, Laura.
People felt like, she wasn't reciprocating the energy that Laura was giving her.
And that's why, you know, Mariam was coming for her.
So, even with you, as much as I love you.
And I think that you are great and amazing.
She did bring you into the group.
You owe her that responsibility and duty of care to...
ensure that you are good with her.
If I were her...
Imagine I introduced my friends. -Yeah.
You are now friends with my friends and you're not talking to me.
Yeah.
I'll be burning, I won't lie, it will hurt my feelings.
I think the fact that, you know...
I sort of told him not to talk about it on the dinner table, and...
You know, have a private conversation with Faith.
I feel like he's listened...
And if anything, he's probably going to have a private conversation with Faith.
I want one.
I need that space, I need that time with her.
because I wanted to be brought to...
I think, just show up at her house or something.
Uhmm, I like that Chioma advised him to just go...
and sort it out with his friend because clearly...
Maybe he was hyped last night or intoxicated, whatever.
And said, whatever he said.
Kind of regretted it today.
Took most of it back.
Because it sounds so minute.
Like, there's not even, really an issue.
It was one thing to another. -Yeah
And I get it, like, oh, you are wasting time.
Not owning up. It's fine, just...
Just talk to her, if she... if truly she is your friend...
I'm sure she'll understand, you guys will squash it.
And we can all just move on and be happy.
I call Faith my friend, she's still my friend.
Irrespective of how I feel right now.
How sad I am...
about the whole situation.
I want my friend back.
I want us to talk again.
I want us to be...
who we really are.
Forget all these little squabbles, pettiness
And get back to what really matters.
Life is short.
Ha!
The sun is burning. Guys, let's go -Honestly, I need to go.
I'm so sweaty -I can't wait to get home.
I came second, I came second... -Water, water, water...
Tania, next time, I'm going to win over you.
It's a beautiful day and I'm meeting my girl...
Toyin, for lunch.
After Epe resort...
I'm feeling disappointed because...
I was expecting much from the girls, I guess.
But.
It is what it is.
Faith!!!
Hey gorgeous.
All pinky lady...
Always with the train, it's this your train that got you into serious trouble.
Darling.
"Darling" -They should deal with it.
Ha! I forgot.
Darling! -Darling!
Well, one thing I like about Toyin, is the fact that...
She will compliment you when you look good.
And if something is going on with your outfit, she will fix it.
I've not seen you since....
boo haha. -Boo haha.
Girl...
But you tried, you tried...
Me, I won't have been able to take that much.
I'll just walk out.
And you know, I think that was the only thing that you did, that I didn't like.
Yeah, you told me I would have walked away.
Yes, you know why? -Why?
Because number one, it wasn't your event.
Someone invited you there.
It was a very senseless fight. -Yes
It was but I feel like...
From the first day I met them, it's probably been like a problem.
I didn't want them to feel like, I'm a rollover because I'm not.
I'm from Ikwerre, if for anything...
I can always stand up for myself.
And I love the fact that, you know...
You try to hash it out with Iyabo.
Because it was her event, that was so... -Yes,yes
So graceful of you... -Yes, yes
Then I started liking you again.
More than before. -You...you...
You can't stop loving me. -No, excuse me, excuse me
I'm a candy, the more you... -More than...more than before.
The more you lick, the more you like. - You understand?
Girl, I was chilled.
You were chilled but you were a witch.
You were chilled, cross...
See... see, this is how you did it, you were crossing your leg, saying....
Chimpanzee!
She is a raccoon! I said, Ah!!
I'm not a person that when I meet people for the first time I throw everything...
on the table for them to know who I am.
I'm very guarded.
I need to trust you before I'm able to open certain part of my life.
And I hope everybody does the same.
I had a conversation with...what's his name?
Doctor Rommel.
And while we were... Yes. -Oh my God
As you are going on, let's... -No, no, no, no
You can keep going. -Yeah as...
Uhmm...
During the pottery, he had a lot to say about you.
And I feel... -Did he say, he knows me though?
Is he claiming he is my friend? - See, what he's not going to do is...
He's not going to indirectly send me to you.
I'm not anybody's errand girl. -Thank you.
I'm not anybody's housemaid.
I'm not anybody's door mat.
I'm the king of all Queens.
So, if anybody has something to say about their friends...
They should find the same phone number, where they used to...
talk about... -But he is blocked though.
He has all the trace of being a desperate person.
Like literally, why're you going around, telling people that you've known me for years?
We've been hanging out in the US.
You've been touching my face.
You're telling people you did all these and you didn't.
You are a doctor for crying out loud.
You know what that means, when you take a picture of my face...
And put all over your building.
Doing this, doing that.
Girl.
Please, take a back seat.
You need Jesus!
December 8, look at...
That's when I started talking to him.
That n***a doesn't even know where I live in LA.
He doesn't know...
where I live in Texas. -No, but he said he knew you from abroad.
And you guys used to see each other. -He doesn't know me.
This is...is this not a message?
I cut him off because he was saying sh*t...
about the ladies that he's never met before.
He was saying things about the ladies?
Yes, he was saying Chioma is not intelligent.
She's this...words on the street.
Oh, I have to google Tania.
And I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I don't think I know who Mariam is.
No, I didn't know her until that day.
Yeah, nobody knows her anyway.
We don't care. -Girl...
Let's talk about people we know.
On this street...
sometimes, says, she's smart, sometimes she's not.
So, I don't know.
Let's see. -Okay.
Tania, I'm like, okay.
Sorry, I didn't...
And I was like.... -Darling.
Am I supposed to know her? I don't...I didn't know her.
I mean, let's google her because I don't know.
Am I supposed to know her?
No, don't do that.
Did he say anything about me?
I will like to know.
No, no, not yet, not yet.
First of all, I guess he knows who he has to say sh*t about.
And that's the reason why, at Chioma's event...
I will remove all his botox.
Yeah, so, for me...
I told him, and that was where trouble started from.
I said, hey, you were...
The other day when I had lunch with your family.
You were trying to get tea from me about the ladies.
And I told you, I don't really know much because we didn't spend a lot of time.
And he was telling... Uhmm...
The other management, that I said...
hope his family is going to come dressed up because...
they are representing me.
And I'm like, why the hell will I say that?
And at the end of the day, you pop champagne.
You know, when I refused to spill nothing to you, you were like...
The Faith I know, is not this put together.
And I'm like, dude, n***a.
Do you know me from anywhere?
Have we met...you know, even for drinks?
Have you even met my son?
For me to call you a friend, there are a lot of boxes you have to tick.
Because as a friend, you're a family.
I can't pick random people, as psychopaths like him...
to be around my child.
He said I was trying to convince Laura not to go on...
to get the botox, I said yes because Laura had drinks.
You stamped my name on the box without telling me
So, whatever happens, it's Faith.
I understand you want clout.
But you don't have to stain your name on somebody...
Like somebody else's name because you want to be on here.
Or you want to be talked about or you want be liked.
Yeah.
Do you understand what I mean?
And at this point, like...
I feel like I'm giving him too much energy now.
Doctor Rommel is insane.
Doctor Rommel wants to send me to...
A princess like me.
Doctor Rommel wants to send me a message.
Two can play this fool's game.
The day you are going to talk to Doctor Rommel,
I want to be there.
You can't talk sh*t about the same ladies.
He was like, I'm a real doctor, I don't need them.
I'm like...
whoa, whoa, whoa, where's this coming from?
Nobody is questioning your...
You don't need them, so, what are you doing here?
Okay, great.
Everybody will be fine in Jesus name. -Yes
My baby is coming today.
And we are going to pick him up from the airport.
Yes, let's go get your son, so, I get to meet him.
Yeah.
Child. -Darling.
To me, I feel she has some humanity in her somewhere.
Next time I'm having a bottle of white wine, right?
Let's go!
Do you want to bake with Cartia?
Mommy and daughter.
We are baking today.
Which one do you want?
Do you want to cook?
You want to bake the chocolate?
Or the pancake? -I want...
Chocolate. - Careful.
Good job.
Yes.
Every parent has their moments with their child.
And baking with her...
She being with me in the kitchen, is one of our moment.
Dada is calling.
Hi Dada.
Hi guys.
Can you call me back, like, in ten seconds?
Let's say about two minutes?
I have a conversation with you.
I want to tell you something.
But I don't want to say it in front of Nova.
But let me quickly put this in the oven.
And I'll call you back in two minutes.
Dada, bye.
I love you too.
My husband got a new contract back in Los Angeles.
And this is the longest that we've been away from each other.
Hey baby.
We can talk now.
Nova is already upstairs.
Concerning the...
the IVF.
Doctor...
I spoke to Hadiza already.
You wanted to get her perspective.
Exactly and...
I think you have... I think you have problems with it.
Because I know how much you love being pregnant.
I do, yeah?
It's because I get too spoiled during pregnancy.
When we go through this...
Trust me, I'll...I'll still have to have my gifts.
Yeah, you'll get whatever you want.
I am nervous but I...
I pray...I know for a fact that this is going to be a stressful journey.
But an amazing journey at the same time.
Absolutely.
If it's not successful for a...
After a while, I would just have to adopt.
Babe, I love you. -I love you more.
Hey!!!
World best!!!!
This your 250 million...
When will I get my ten percent share of it?
If I give you a punch.
So that I can also raise my shoulders high and be proud.
If I give you a punch.
Okay, so, I want talk to you about something.
I'm thinking of...
Maybe, doing like a return of Arinzo.
Wow! That will be wonderful.
I like it.
This time, I want it to be a big movie, you know, not just a...
Cinema movie but a blockbuster movie.
Okay, love you.
Ha!
Who are you loving again?
Toyin Abraham.
What's up?
Yeah, I just got off the phone with Toyin.
Talking to her about bringing back that my old movie, Arinzo.
I saw you dead in that movie.
Honey, but like, I was dead...
But we can see that, I had a lot of...
Because the character had a lot of voodoo.
You know, like spiritual powers.
I want the story to be centered around that daughter.
You know, and I think there's no better person...
To play that role than my carbon copy...
Priscilla.
If you want Pricilla to be involved...
I think you need to pay her properly.
Excuse me? -The game has changed.
Priscilla is... -Do you see how music has changed?
You guys are supposed to start making movie to change the same way.
I'm not saying I'm not going to pay her.
But not like the kind of pay you're talking about.
She is my daughter.
Because she is your daughter?
That's why...
it's a charity organization...
So, Pricillia's name is charity, right?
It's not fair.
You pay...
You know.
Igbo man and business are like 5 and 6.
You can't separate them, honestly.
But yes.... -But I'm thinking
I think it's a good idea. -Because I want to do it big.
So that, we can put it out there, on all these...
platforms, like... -Cinemas and...
Showmax and the rest of them.
I think it's a good idea.
I think it's a fantastic idea.
Okay.
I can be a sponsor.
Hey! Too much money!!!!
One Africa -Yes...
it's 70% ...70 - 30.
Hey!! Huh?
You are such an Igbo man.
7....
70% for me, 30% for you. -No!
30% for you.
70% for me.
I will pay the money.
I will make the show happen.
I will still put it in cinemas.
I will make sure that you still make money on it.
Let's do 50/50, baby?
You look amazing.
Hi, hi guys.
Today, I'll be officially introducing my lip glosses to the world.
Thank you guys for coming out.
You guys, some of you guys did my fashion show, right?
I have this set of...
lip glosses called the Nude Laura beauty.
And they are amazing.
So, basically we are doing head shots.
Just the girls, you know.
Because it's all about the lips.
Try...try this thing with me, let me go and sit down.
No, I'm not Laura Ikeji again, I'm Laura Ikeji's model.
Let's have this.
You are giving all shades of Paris, you know?
Girl, stop it.
Walking into the shoot, it's so noisy.
I don't understand, what's going on?
Mariam, my love.
How are you doing? --How are you doing?
Okay, Laura looks good.
Is it winter?
Okay.
Girl, you look good, girl. -Thank you and you too.
Are you going to the Grammy's?
I invited Mariam to come to the photo shoot to see my models.
How she can actually do some PR for me because I mean...
She has a PR agency...
So I heard.
Well, it's good. Congratulations.
Thank you girl, thank you. -Congratulations, it's nice.
I can't wait for you guys to visit the store. -It's not easy.
Are you doing the sip and shop...
in the store? -In the store, yeah.
So, aside the fact that you guys are going to buy this one...
You're going to buy other people's brand.
Are you going to have like makeup artist there to like...?
Yeah, we are going to have in-house makeup artistes.
We're going to have champagne. -Stationing.
Yes.
Have you invited all the girls?
I have, actually.
I invited Iyabo that did not invite me to her event.
I'm shocked about that.
Laura inviting Iyabo to her event...
I think it's a good move to be sincere.
At the end of the day, you know, somebody has to be a bigger person.
So, she's taking that role of a bigger person.
I'm shocked to be sincere.
I feel like, it was...
When Iyabo... - It's Chioma that actually invited me.
That was what started this whole drama with your so called...
mannequin friend.
So, there's nothing that Mariam can actually tell me about Faith.
I will be team Faith forever.
You're her Friend.
She's not... she's not keeping the same energy -How do you know?
How do you know? -She's not keeping the same energy with you.
How do you know?
That was how the whole issue happened.
Who is Mariam to say Faith did not have my back?
What's your business? Like...
But she's very quiet.
She's... she's... she's a very calm person.
You can't even... -You can say you are a calm person but...
what comes out from your mouth has nothing to do with being quiet.
Laura, let's get it clear.
I do not care...
if Faith has your back or not.
We can be civil.
How?
You can see her, say hello and then move on.
Then you don't know me -A whole PR girl.
That's the point, I don't know how to fake it.
You want me to fake it?
I'm cordial with everybody knowing that you guys don't have each other's back.
I don't know how to do that. -But why do you think that...
we don't have each other's back?
I don't do that.
Even though Faith and I have been talking for a while.
I only met her... I don't know her as well as I knew Toyin.
But I know what these women are trying to do.
And they will not get me.
Well, we are grown women, we are moms.
We are business women. -Yes, we are moms
So, you should have told her, I was a mom...
before your friend goes talking about me having flat buttocks.
I have flat buttocks and the left side is...
I have a birth mark there and it's the blackest part of it.
She can as well, kiss it.
I thought I'm here right now...
to give my expertise in PR.
Not to talk about Felix.
I think it's very unnecessary drama. -Even though you, as you're talking right now.
I don't want to call you stupid.
But you're looking kind of, it's like...
you're trying to defend somebody that is acting like...
I don't care. -You are not relevant.
I'm not telling you not to defend her.
You have to defend her because she is your friend.
She is a green snake, see...
One thing about me...
You don't know her but you're calling her a green snake.
With what she just showed me, yes she is.
Whatever...
Mariam has with Faith is their business, basically.
It's none of my business.
I just feel like...
I would take Faith over Mariam any day anytime.
Hater, hater. -Please.
Right now, we're just arriving in a community in Lagos...
called Ikotun.
It's somewhere on the mainland about 3 hours away from Ikoyi where I live.
Well done, well done.
Afternoon everybody. -Good afternoon
Thank you, thank you.
Is this cast?
Can I stand on this? okay -Yes, sure
Okay
Today, I'm here for the Goodway Foundation.
And I'm with some of our members...
Including my PA Solomon and one of my really good friends Mena.
We're actually building a borehole for them.
So, the last time I was here and I asked what all the issues were...
A lot of you complained about not having water in your community.
Yes.
You said you didn't have water to bath.
You have to go far to fetch the water. -Yes.
So, we figured that it will make sense to build a borehole.
So, you are generating water in your community.
So, you don't have to go far...
Far, far, far...
To fetch water to cook, to bath, to eat.
It's not yet completed.
Two days time, it'll be complete.
And then all these taps, you can fetch from it.
The entire period that they've lived here, they've never had water.
People still have to walk all the way to another community...
Like, literally, another location to fetch water...
to bring all the way back, just to have a shower...
just to brush their teeth, just to cook.
I mean, it's completely ludicrous.
Amen!
Thank you very much, we're very happy.
There will be more, more, more added to you.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you sir, thank you. -More money, good husband.
Amen.
Good husband.
It's not completed right now but I just thought, you know...
Let me come and see how it's going, if it's working, if it's going well.
And guess what?
The money that we made from the yard sale...
is what's actually funding this borehole.
Chioma... God created you for us.
I mean just seeing the women, the children, how happy they are...
I mean, it just gives me so much joy, it makes me so happy.
So, last year when I visited this particular community.
I met with one of the widows, who I'm really...
really fond of and she gave me some horrible news.
She said, she had a child that was with her, but the child is dead.
The child is dead?
Oh my God.
And so, I promised to come back with, you know...
Just food, things, to just show, like, you know...
Just to kind of, like...
See her...
See how she's doing, make sure she's doing well.
And kind of, like, contribute to her business.
So, we brought this for you today because I know that...
You know, obviously, with the provisions, it will soon finish, you know?
So, at least with this, you should be able to start...
Improve your sachet water business.
She brought this for you...
With the hope that, this should help kickstart your sachet water business.
Your soft drinks.
Then, you can now add other little things.
That kiosk that you want to open to sell provisions.
The small shop that you said you want.
This should go towards that, this will help.
She said, this will help you.
She has like a little sachet water business that she does.
And I know that it doesn't bring anything substantial.
You know, so I thought, you know what?
Let's come, let's check up on her, let's see her.
Do what we can for her, just to make her life a little bit easier
because she's been through a lot.
Hello.
Hey.
Hey babe, how are you doing?
I'm good, how are you?
My friend Mena and I are having a conversation.
And a call comes in.
So, what are you doing later on then?
I don't know, what are you doing?
I'm free, I was thinking maybe we could grab dinner.
Let's say about 8 o'clock?
Okay, I should be back before 8 o'clock.
I'll go home, shower and get ready.
Where do you want to go?
So, my guy's calling to check up on me.
Obviously, he knew that I had an outreach today.
He knows about the Goodway Foundation.
He loves everything that we're doing and...
So...
We're going to meet up for dinner, you know just to hang out...
Talk, discuss, you know, see how both our days went and everything, so.
Alright, I'll see you in a bit, okay?
Okay, see you in a bit, bye.
Baby -Don't ask.
Hey, I'm in an interesting restaurant.
HOV restaurant, beautiful place.
And I'm here to see Faith, to talk to her.
I'm arriving and I'm seeing Doctor Rommel seated.
I just want to get this over with.
And listen to him rant.
Uhmm, probably...
Let's see how it ends.
Okay, hello.
Let's see if she can come out and get you something to drink.
It's a hot day.
Well, I'm glad you came.
Hello Miss Faith, I'm here, you see me, I'm here.
Silence.
Are you upset with me?
How have you been?
Afternoon, thank you.
Okay.
Have you been here before?
Doctor Rommel.
Let's just go straight to why we are here. -Okay
She's cutting me off?
I wanted to hear from you, your own...
point of view, as per, what happened at the resort?
Even though, I had things I wanted to talk to you about.
First, so that, it wouldn't look like...
I'm...I don't care or...
I'm saying things behind your back.
Because that's not what happened.
I want to hear from you.
Because one side of the story, they're telling me this, this, this.
I wasn't even there.
When I got there, the next day...
So, I never got that chance with you because...
I thought you were already cold towards me.
It was a girl's trip.
If I knew a guy was going to be there, I would literally have my brother there.
And I didn't even see your ass, like, why?
Like, I was busy doing other things...
Like, why do you think the world goes around you?
Like bro, just take a back seat.
Even though, I had my own concerns with you.
I was trying to just figure out, what could have happened.
I don't think I owe you an explanation when it comes to...
whatever happen with those group of women.
I thought you were here to address...
the issue you have with me.
It's all linked up in a way.
Because when I got there, that's when you got a little bit...
cold towards me.
If you remember very well...
I don't think I ever spoke to you at that resort.
Because I'm the one who was trying to talk to you, to see what's going on.
So, my concern was...
If I'm hearing those things from those ladies and I'm telling them...
you got to judge her on your own and see your relationship with her.
It's called...it's all linked.
Because I haven't seen you after our own Botox party.
Darling, I didn't even see you.
I think I was too occupied...
at that point, taking care of Faith Morey.
Beating this face...
that never declines.
Why will I pay attention to you?
Can you just read the room?
Like bro, move on.
It wasn't a marriage, though.
At this point, maybe, we'll get a divorce.
I want to give you opportunity to address...
everything you have to say because when I start...
I honestly don't want to get interrupted.
I'll let you speak. -Just like, I don't want to interrupt you.
So, Doctor Rommel.
I've heard about what the ladies had to say.
I've heard about what you have to say.
I want to make sure, that's all you have to say, right?
That's not all I have to say but that's a good start.
And I'll let you speak your mind because...
that's the major thing is, what happened to us? why...
Why are we in a place where...
we'll see each other in public and we can't even speak?
And where we're acting like we're cold.
And we just threw an event together before then.
And after that, I hadn't even seen you face to face.
Uhmm.
When did we start talking?
December 8th.
That's your message with me.
This is December 8th.
2022.
This is the first conversation that was initiated between the both of us.
And I will read.
Hello Doctor Rommel, my name is Faith
___ said I should contact you.
How are you? Hello, are you back in the States?
My cell number is this for WhatsApp, when you're overseas.
So, you telling people that we're friends, we are getting to know each other.
Do you know how many brothers I have?
Do you even know my mom's name?
Have we ever hung out?
So, why are you going around telling people we are friends?
We are not friends. -I see.
No, no, no, no, we are not friends. -I see.
That's one. -That's how you see it.
And then, two.
It was your event.
You picked the place, yes. -Oh really?
And you know this because we had a mutual call...
And your own manager, who's also my manager...
who I trusted, I've known for 10 years, told me, please bring this man in here.
So, why the hell are you now saying all these? -All lies, Faith, I can't believe it.
It's okay for you to throw your friends down. -Like, seriously, no, no, no, no.
Do you even know where... -I'm shocked
Do you know where I live in LA?
Please tell me where I live in LA. -I don't have to know where you live in LA.
Do you know where I live in Lekki here? -Because you can move from place to place.
I'm shocked at you.
Do you even know the name of my son's school?
How am I supposed to do those things and know?
So, I am just shocked that she expected those things of me.
And you know what, Faith, I'm sorry.
I should have asked you those questions, I didn't know.
You are getting upset. You know why... -If you know anything about me.
You know why you're getting upset Faith? -Honey, listen...
I'm already out of here because at the end of the day you are not... -Why are you getting upset?
even my friend to start with. -Oh really?
I'm not your friend?
So, who is your friend?
When you're all...
I don't have any friends, darling. You're not my friend. --You don't... you have a fake life.
Your life is so fake that you don't even know who you are. -Come near me.
And that's just something about you.
When somebody addresses you and calls you on your sh*t,
you get upset about it.
No, I don't...I'm not your friend anymore. -Follow me to the house.
But when you needed help and support...
You remembered me, ah!
You remembered me. -What support did I need from you?
No, no, no, we've always been friends. --B*tch
We've always been friends.
And you've remembered who I was. --Monday, let's go, honey.
You've remembered who I was before.
You're just a fake person. --You this fake doctor.
That's who you are, fake, fake all over, fake.
Fake life, fake ass, fake everything about you. -Because I refused you to use my face.
Oh please, I can't use your face, look at you -Because I refused you to use my face
You're just full of fakeness. --Darling.
Your name is fake.
Miss fake, miss fake...
I'm not your friend and I'll never be your friend again.
Yeah, because who you are, is a fake ass person.
You're just so fake, who do you think you are?
You're so fake, you know what?
Go to hell with your fake life.
I don't need that bullsh*t from her. --Blocked.
Yes, oh my gosh, I don't even want to deal with people like you.
You are so fake, she is so fake.
Please, leave me alone.
You've been cut, stay cut.
Thank you.
For a woman, you know, your...
Your biological clock is ticking, once you are 35 years old.
I'm 36 and I'm going to be 37 this year --Yeah
And I do not want to be in my 40s...
You know and be...
I don't want to keep trying.
Today, I'm with my cousin, Hadiza Alao.
Akala.
Right now, I'm anxious, I'm nervous, I'm scared.
I'm excited.
It's just, my emotions is just...
is everywhere.
Hadiza.
Hello ma, how are you?
Always nice to see you my darling. -Yes ma.
Thank you.
Hello.
Good afternoon Doctor. -Hello Mrs Timmer
Nice to meet you.
I've been looking forward to this.
So, she actually... after hearing my story and...
You know, she knows what I've gone through and everything.
She was...
You know, she was very interested and...
said I should take it or take her to you...
And she wants to know more about surrogacy.
Yeah.
Why?
I trust Hadiza to come on this journey with me because...
she's been through it.
I remember when I got pregnant.
I couldn't even tell Hadiza that I was pregnant.
I remember the day I had Nova.
Can I have tissue, please?
You know when you've planned with somebody so much...
For a long time in your life and...
you didn't get to experience the same thing.
The things that you've spoken about.
If I deprived her of...
that aspect of my life at the time...
Why can't I bring her in the process, why would I go outside and meet someone...
outside and not...
bring her in?
What's the reason for your wanting to go into surrogacy?
Uhmm, I feel that at... Number one, age.
Biological clock.
You are 36years old. -Yes.
Number one....
Number two, I've been trying for three years.
And I don't think I want to go through the stress of... the stress I went through...
before I had my daughter.
I'm sure you want to know how...
we would get the surrogate. -Yes
Yes, you have a choice of bringing your surrogate.
Or the most common one is for us to source for a surrogate.
So, we kind of have like...
agents and...
that...
helps with the sourcing.
We take a good history.
We have guidelines.
We tell them things, they should do and they shouldn't.
I don't want my child to come...
out looking deformed because of something or having probably asthma.
defor... I don't... everything, like, it's just...
I just don't want that.
I don't mind paying extra for them to not have sex for nine months.
I would double the payment, I don't mind.
I'm excited now.
I'm definitely going to go back home, you know...
Once I get home, I'm going to talk to my husband.
I'm like, oh, this is the result, this is...
This is the situation. - And what's next?
Because, this meeting right now, just put everything in perspective.
All my questions have been answered.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Thank you so much for everything. --Always nice to see you.
Hi.
You are missing Laura's event today.
[Iyabo]: I know, oh my God.
[Iyabo]: It's today, right?
Yeah, when are you coming back?
I don't want to be there by myself.
I mean, Tania is there actually.
When are you coming back?
Iyabo is in America right now, with her boo boo.
And I miss her so much.
I'm not sure, I hear it's a lip product.
So, it could be a lip gloss.
It could be lipstick, maybe lip liners.
I don't know, but like, just lips basically.
You know.
But does Laura have nice lips though?
I don't know, I can't even remember what her lips look like.
I feel bad...
A bit, that I'm missing Laura's event because...
she turned up for my...
Uhmm, my event, so...
I would have loved to be at her event to show her support.
I just... my... my own worries...
I just hope she gets it right this time.
I do feel like, this year, she's making an effort...
to sort of like mend with all the ladies.
So, I hope everyone comes, but...
Do you think anyone would like sit her out?
Did she invite Tiannah?
Tiannah will come, that's for sure.
I know Tiannah would always want to support her.
You know, so, but...
Apart from Tiannah, who else?
She has been rude to me, do I forgive her?
Well, she said she was sorry, so...
I accepted her apology but...
I don't think she's someone I really want to vibe with.
Because I don't think I get her mission.
Right.
I'm not sure if Iyabo is actually willing to try again with Faith.
I mean...
I know that most people who are born as Sagittarius...
they are not forgiving.
And now, to now worsen everything...
She has issues with her friend, doctor.
Our favorite doctor.
Doctor Rommel is a sweet soul.
And he's got a positive energy.
It is what it is, you know.
But when I get to the event...
I'll... I'll definitely call you.
I'll show you around.
Show you what the store looks like.
Show you Laura's new lip gloss or lipstick or lip liner.
And then, yeah, you could be a part of it in spirit, yeah.
But I miss you.
Can't wait to see you, love you.
Same here.
So, it's the d-day.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's Laura's day.
Today is my sip and shop.
Hopefully, they'll come and buy virtually everything I have in the store.
The store looks amazing.
So, it's all about my baby, Laura, today.
Her lip gloss launch.
And I have to show up...
good for her, look at me right now.
[overlapping chattering]
Tiannah is here and she looks amazing.
My girl looks amazing.
She's wearing this beautiful black dress with big lips.
And... and she looks good.
I... I didn't expect anything less.
It's still all for Laura.
My eyeshadow.
My brows.
And my lip gloss, all for Laura.
Doctor Rommel is here. -The lady...
The one that made all of this possible here.
Congratulations. -Thank you so much.
And you look gorgeous. -Thank you, thank you.
I love this place and who is this? -Dr Rommel, Rommel.
The lady with the big lips. -Tiannah.
She is launching her lip gloss.
Oh my gosh, Tiannah and Laura are talking again...
I'm just walking and seeing these two ladies.
And they're having a moment together.
I mean, this is just worth drinking to you and wow...
Thank you, Doctor Rommel.
I heard you have a lot of money.
People are saying I have a lot of money.
I'm as broke as they come.
If he's around, you'll laugh.
His eyes are always popping and his teeth is always...
Tell him about the gloss.
The clear ones.
The clear ones, yeah, you will...
I have sisters, don't worry I have sisters.
But you know, you can actually use the clear ones too.
Oh okay, okay. -Of course, you can.
If we don't sell, why are we doing this?
So, I'm hoping that we sell a lot of products today.
And just, you know, have fun.
If Toyin goes behind your back and start saying...
Oh, even if I don't agree with all and I start saying...
Oh, this is what he said... I feel it would have been bad.
It would have... Even if I don't agree with you...
It would have been good, she heard directly from you.
And I did... I wanted to try.
Which is why I wanted to give you... --But it didn't go well
the chance to tell her by yourself...
Then I can now, sit with her and I'll tell her, okay, fine.
I picked only... out of everything you had say to me.
I picked only one thing, your family thing that happened.
My deep senses tell me that...
Tiannah, is what you typically call, a gossip.
I will talk.
I will contort stories.
I will say what I like, just to spice up the gist
Make it harder, make it spicier.
And that's what Tiannah loves.
But I'm going to talk to her today. --It's not a good place.
And we're going to have... three of us... I... no.
I'm not going to mention anything.
I will just beg for her, except you're not willing to be friends.
It's not that, it's just that...
I think with time, she may calm down.
You know why? --You know how people get angry in the beginning.
Let me tell you something, there's something that is hurting you.
Yes, you might have done something to her, that is hurting her.
Both parties are hurt.
They say, two wrongs don't make a right.
If two of you are saying, you're the one that wrong me...
You're the one that wrong me.
You see Laura, I gave Laura her space.
But because I tried the conversation...
and she was not willing to do that, she walked away.
Then you let go.
I know, not let go.
But I need to respect a little bit of space, not completely.
But maybe, I'll bring it up again and see how the reception is.
And it's okay, if you want to talk about it.
But I didn't even want to bring it up today because I know she...
I think she'll be here.
So, Laura's event is today, I'm super excited.
I can't wait to see my girl's launch.
Oh my goodness.
Andy is one of the folks that had my career go from here to here.
He used to be that one person that would make sure...
I close the show and open the show.
And as a model, you know that's a big deal.
Hey, my baby. [Dr. Rommel]: Oh my gosh, her son is here.
I'm not seeing you. Hey, what's up my n*gga.
You look good, look at you, all black everything.
I walk in and I'm seeing Tiannah sitting down alone.
Sit down, let me do your thing for you.
Thank you. -Before they will step on it.
You want to use this tail to come and sweep all the makeup.
But the saddest thing is, all the dirt on the floor.
It would have been nice though.
So, when you want to stand up, I will remove it.
So that, it will look like, you have a whole backdrop.
I'm serious.
Tiannah and I always have similar style.
She's wearing the red, I'm wearing the pink.
Great minds think alike, girl.
Oh my God.
Tee.
Girl.
That's why you're king of fashion.
Good job, girl.
[Faith]: I'm sorry [Dr. Rommel]: What was here before, Tiannah?
Do you know what was in this space before?
Why the f**k am I sitting in the middle of this....
f**king two bitches, like, f**k shit.
Miss Abakaliki just got in. [Chioma]: Hi.
[Tania]: Hello.
[Tania]: Who is Abakaliki?
Me, Abakaliki?
You didn't even give me, my Anambra, that I am from.
I can actually use, a knife is really strong.
Like a toothpick, you can actually use a toothpick to...
cut the tension in this room.
It is choking.
Bad news, she does have bad news.
[Tiannah]: What's the bad news?
Can we listen to Chioma's bad news?
Laura, are you ready for bad news?
I'm not ready.
How can you be this pretty to deliver a bad news?
I'll slap the bad news out of your head. --Oh, my God.
But you know, Iyabo can't make it, she is not coming.
She travelled. [Tiannah]: Is that the bad news?
Yes.
For me, it's bad news.
It's bad news for me.
[Laura]: Why is it bad news for you?
It's good news because she is spending a lot of time with her baby, obim, yeah.
Nobody is more important than that Obim.
[Tiannah]: So, everybody should rest, it's not bad news. [Chioma]: So, yeah, Laura, obviously, I mention, it's not...
[Laura]: Yeah. [Chioma]: She travelled.
Some of the ladies seem to care that Iyabo is not coming.
They seem slightly bothered and you know...
not very happy and some people seem to not give a sh*t.
I'm just finding out that Iyabo is not here and uhmm...
According to Chioma, she's in America.
Is she doing okay over there?
She is actually, I'm supposed to Facetime her, let me get my phone.
We can say, hi, to her or something. --Yeah
She wanted to see what all of you are wearing.
And she wants to see your lip glosses.
And we were talking about your lips, like...
Does Laura have big lips?
I do actually --Nice
Can I... can I evaluate the lips?
If you're going to start a lip line product...
Like, you have to have the lips for it.
Guess who's calling? --Iyabo.
Hi.
Look at you... where are you going? why are you all dressed up?
You're supposed to be at Laura's event.
We miss you here.
Hi.
I'm sure, you're having fun? [Iyabo]: Yes, baby.
How is it going?
Beautiful, thank you so much, it's beautiful.
The group is not incomplete without anybody.
I don't miss Iyabo.
Uhmm, Iyabo and I do not vibe even...
If she... If she were here, we will not be vibing like that, anyway.
[Dr. Rommel]: My fair lady. --Look at Toyin's lips.
Iyabo, they are having a makeup launch, and...
How else can I come... coming up with the lips and this is Laura's lips.
Darling!!!
I see you girl.
When Chioma calls Iyabo and of course...
I'm never that one person that has to like...
put my head in a conversation or say, hi...
when I'm not called.
Laura, you have your family, somebody is saying, hi, to you.
Iyabo.
I'm impressed, I'm so impressed.
It was obvious that...
The phone wasn't passed to me.
So, I'm not a pick me person.
And I'll stand by, I'm not a pick me person.
This is for your daughter...
Priscilla.
Rommel, Rommel
You bought lip gloss for Iyabo.
You bought lip gloss for Priscilla.
Why didn't you buy lip gloss for everybody else?
I'm not jealous, excuse me...
She's so jealous.
You will buy one for everybody.
[Tiannah]: Priscilla is my baby, I can never get jealous for her. [Dr. Rommel]: No, no, Priscilla only.
What I'm not going to do, is spend money on these ladies...
that I'm not dating.
They are all claiming they have husbands and boyfriends...
Let them go and meet those men.
Because why would you be, forming, having fun...
going out with these guys, enjoying and I'm here single...
And then you want me to buy things for you.
No, no, no, no.
These Nigerian babes are too smart for me.
You are even doing makeup.
You are doing makeup.
Where are you going?
Where is she going?
Where are you going?
Aunty Iyabo, Uncle Paul O would have given you, more than enough sex over there.
Oh my... Jesus... Amen.
Iyabo is talking to Doctor Rommel.
Because, obviously, she loves him.
That's her guy.
She's talking to Toyin because Toyin is her girl.
She's vibing with Tania.
You know, Faith is somewhere in the corner...
Obviously, not paying attention.
Iyabo hasn't really asked for her either.
So, it's very inconsequential at this point.
But Iyabo is having a great time via Facetime in America

Women, they have problems.
In fact, it was even your idea to be mean to Laura. --I expressed. Yes
It was her idea to be mean to you.
