Let’s be real—the men of My Flatmates are long overdue for marriage. So, in our quest to find them potential wives, we thought, Why not the ladies from The Real Housewives of Lagos?* And just imagining the scenario had us laughing out loud. Because let’s be honest—what are the chances of any of these men actually bagging one of the Real Housewives? Zero. Not a damn chance.

Sophia said It best—“A broke man won’t know what to do with me”
We don’t mean to be brutal, but Sophia’s words ring too true: “I don’t think a poor or broke man will know what to do with a woman like me.” And when we examine the men of My Flatmates—Ubong, Titus, Willie, Dan, Donatus, and Prosper—one thing is painfully clear: broke is their brand.

Where would they even live?
First of all, where would these sophisticated, high-maintenance women stay? Certainly not in the cramped three-bedroom apartment these men already struggle to afford. What’s the plan—fit a Real Housewife into a twin-sized bed? Have her share a bunk with Dan? Yeah, not happening.

Can they even afford their lifestyle?
Now, let’s talk finances. These women are used to luxury—designer bags, fine dining, and exotic vacations. Meanwhile, Ubong can barely borrow enough from Mimi to feed himself, let alone treat a lady to a candlelit dinner. And Willie? This is the same man still traumatized over how much he spent on one date. He hasn’t recovered financially or emotionally—how’s he supposed to afford a lifetime of soft life?

Vacations? Jewelry? Not on this budget!
These women love private jets, diamond jewellery, and trips to tropical islands. And Chief Donatus? The only reason he recently flew anywhere was because his own lady sponsored the trip. Ain’t no way he’s booking first-class flights for anyone anytime soon!

A man can dream…
Oh well, it’s nice to dream big. The men of My Flatmates can fantasize about these glamorous women all they want. Surely, in their dreams, they can afford the lifestyle? That should do.
Catch them when they wake up to reality every weekday on My Flatmates at 7 PM on Africa Magic Showcase. Trust us, it’s pure comedy you don’t want to miss!
