Hi RHOLagos besties, allow me to introduce myself. I’m not just any couch; I’m Uti’s very-premium reunion couch. 🛋️💅🏽 After seeing all the designer gowns, expensive hairstyles, and the weight of heavy drama for two whole episodes, I came to give you all the gist. 😉
I heard it all. I felt the tension. I smelled the drama (and the expensive perfume). So, grab your tea, tighten your wig, and let me spill what went down at the Real Housewives of Lagos Season three reunion. 🤩
Let’s start with Sophia and that boat... 🚣
Ah yes! The famous boat, the one that started a saga and still hasn’t docked in peace. Sophia insists it’s a family boat, which means hers... right? Well, not according to Dabota, who provided some information and claims she knows the owner.
Let’s just say... I’m still waiting for the boat to speak for itself. Because this matter don too long for my mouth. Let's see what some of you have to say about this.
Mariam and Diiadem: The sismance we didn’t know we needed 👭
Picture this: tension in the air, while maintaining main character energy, and then I start hearing soft “I love you” phrases, the warmest hugs, and reconciliation in the air. What ended in season three as a friendship gone wrong between Mariam and Diiadem quickly died down at the reunion as Diiadem walked up to Mariam to give her a hug and the most reassuring words everyone wants to hear from their friend. I've got to give it to them; they got this expensive couch in its feelings.
But before anyone could pass tissues, Carolyna slid in with “The trigger is sitting here.” And immediately, Diiadem rolled her eyes and replied, “Abeg, I no follow you talk.” Maybe small reconciliation is possible from that end too, abi what do you think? 👀
Carolyna and Laura: Screenshot wahala
Oh, you thought the drama was over? More fireworks came from a message longer than Lagos traffic sent from Carolyna to Laura. There was some friction backstage brewing between both ladies, and according to Carolyna, Laura had been warning other housewives (especially Sophia) about Carolyna behind her back. Laura denied it completely, claiming she only told Sophia not to fight battles that weren’t hers.
So what do you think?
“Did you sleep with my husband?” 💣
Yes, Carolyna asked Dabota that. Right there. On national TV. And Dabota unflinching, said, “Yes!”
But wait, plot twist! It was sarcasm, or as she put it, a little taste of her own medicine, since Carolyna had accused her of dancing in her matrimonial home with her ex-husband's girlfriend earlier in the season. It was giving “You come for me, I send for you."
The emotional saga between Dabota and Carolyna continued as the two tried to untangle their friendship history. Carolyna said she was there for Dabota post-divorce. However, according to Dabota, that's not how it all went down, and she also claims they were not as close as Carolyna says they were.
Nonetheless, the two admitted to taking things far with their physical altercation in Ghana and exchanged apologies which gave me a sigh of relief.
Will these two ever reconcile?
What are your queens up to next? 💖
As the reunion wrapped, the cast shared what they’re up to post-show:
Laura is launching new products under her makeup line.
Sophia says her boat is still her boat, and she’s written a chapter in a book with Steph Busari, introducing her new role as an author.
Carolyna is focused on her ongoing construction projects.
Mariam is preparing to launch her glow oil.
Diiadem is moving into her mansion soon.
Dabota is traveling the world with her bestie, with both invited to speak at global events.
I love to see it, ladies! 👏🏾
Look, I may just be a couch, but when the glam squads pack up, the lashes come off, and the cameras stop rolling, I’m still right here… soaking in leftover drama and quietly stalking the queens so the silence doesn't sting.
Will the broken friendships fully recover? Will the boat drama be truly resolved in the mouths of the people? We’ll see.
Until then, I remain the one true confidant who saw it all, caught every side-eye, and held the weight of the reunion host, literally.
Love and leather, Uti’s couch. 💓
