  Hello and welcome back to another episode of Bantu
• 0:11
  Laurencia. How are you all?
• 0:12
  Do you know if you're doing great seasons?
• 0:15
  Greetings to everyone preparing for Christmas, New Year and
• 0:18
  every plans you have. Basically for the end of the
• 0:21
  year, I wish you all the best and all the best in your
• 0:24
  preparations. Now for today's episode, I want
• 0:26
  to talk about the Real Housewives of Lagos.
• 0:30
  Now this season just rounded off Season 2 and I must tell you I
• 0:36
  am traumatised. This season has been filled with
• 0:40
  drama. And not just drama, but I think
• 0:43
  systematic bullying. Should I call it systematic
• 0:48
  bullying? What bullying in general?
• 0:50
  Anyway, now this the season started with new introduction.
• 0:55
  We have two cast members. New 2 cast members, Tanya and
• 1:02
  Faith. Faith is this 6 foods model.
• 1:06
  Like faces. Really beautiful, big boobs, the
• 1:11
  usual, you know, Barbie doll kind of person.
• 1:14
  And she's also very stylish because I think she's a model.
• 1:18
  So that is not new. I mean, we've had people on the
• 1:22
  show like Choma. She's not a model, but she's
• 1:24
  very stylish. We have Tiana, King of style,
• 1:29
  king of fashion, and she comes in in each episode with a very
• 1:35
  lavish, you know, elaborate fashion sense, which she's known
• 1:41
  with. So I was very shocked when Faith
• 1:44
  walked in with a very long train.
• 1:46
  And yeah, but literally walked on that train that trained for a
• 1:50
  very long time. But I was thinking, OK, I don't
• 1:52
  want to say anything about it. Maybe something happened before
• 1:55
  or behind the scene that we did not see.
• 1:58
  Maybe along the line. We're going to get clarity on
• 2:02
  the whole situation. The next thing I could remember
• 2:04
  after that was Iyappa's daughter partnering with Faith.
• 2:09
  You know, Faith wanted us to model some of her collections.
• 2:13
  I think she deals in jewellery and all that ear ball during her
• 2:17
  confessionals was very vocal about she does not want her
• 2:20
  daughter doing or helping Faith out because they are in the same
• 2:24
  business. And I was thinking the sky is
• 2:27
  big enough for everybody. If your daughter who is an
• 2:30
  adult, want to work with Faith, I mean she's been paid for it.
• 2:35
  So even if it's not paid and his partnership, whatever your
• 2:39
  daughter has agreed to do, she's about or she could do that.
• 2:43
  She has her own brand, her own customers, her own style.
• 2:48
  I mean, fate is doing something different.
• 2:50
  Yeah, they are into fashion or you cannot say because Faith is
• 2:54
  doing the same thing as your daughter, so she should.
• 2:57
  So I think that was where the problem started because that is
• 3:01
  the only explanation I could think of.
• 3:05
  They all blacklisted Faith saying that she wants to take
• 3:07
  their their crown. Like who gave anybody crown in
• 3:10
  this show? I mean, I ever was feeling like,
• 3:13
  you know, the collar Queen Mother basically.
• 3:16
  I don't think I I can't even. I don't.
• 3:20
  I never crowned the apple. Maybe the cast members kind of
• 3:24
  crowned her queen. Whatever.
• 3:26
  But I don't think we watching saw her as this queen for me.
• 3:31
  I'd even put Tiana before, so that was a whole lot of drama.
• 3:38
  Was trying to reclaim her crown. Everybody was rallying around
• 3:43
  the Yarborough because I think they felt threatened by Faith.
• 3:48
  Now Faith, you know how reality TV show you have to introduce
• 3:52
  somebody like a new cast member as your friend.
• 3:55
  Basically Faith came in as Laura's friend.
• 3:59
  So Faith brought in Doctor Rome as a friend.
• 4:09
  Now she introduced local roommate and everything was
• 4:12
  going on well. Doctor Romeo, I think he is.
• 4:16
  I don't know if he's flying different colours, I am not sure
• 4:21
  because he hasn't actually come out to say anything like that.
• 4:24
  But look, Doctor Romain is a very colourful individual.
• 4:28
  Both what he says. He's a doctor.
• 4:31
  He lives in the US He's trying to open up a clinic, Botox
• 4:35
  clinic in Nigeria. So he kind of partnered with
• 4:38
  Faith and they started kind of a friendship.
• 4:42
  But something went South. And before then, Doctor Romeo
• 4:46
  was kind of, you know, this that was just a key.
• 4:50
  Woo you a guy. Chill out.
• 4:53
  Even if you want to bring drama, there are certain ways you can
• 4:56
  bring drama and not pull. I think that is the whole thing
• 5:00
  I got from this whole season two of the Real Housewives of Lagos.
• 5:04
  Some of them are saying that like Iabo came out and said they
• 5:07
  told her to bring drama. But even if you're a total bring
• 5:11
  drummer, you don't have to bring somebody down and rally the plan
• 5:16
  to dislike somebody or to hate somebody or to single somebody
• 5:21
  out just because you want to bring drama.
• 5:24
  Tiana had a fight with Miriam Miriam this season.
• 5:28
  I think somebody told her last season, you're just, you know,
• 5:32
  standing in the shadows of Tiana.
• 5:36
  So you need to do something to bring out, you know, your drama
• 5:40
  come out of the shadows of Tiana.
• 5:42
  So this season she decided to make Tiana her enemy.
• 5:47
  I don't know what happened because they didn't like, I
• 5:50
  didn't even care about what happened.
• 5:52
  If you be friends with somebody for I think they said over 10
• 5:56
  years, there are certain things that shouldn't even happen.
• 6:00
  If somebody, even if that person said something about you and you
• 6:04
  could coexist with people, you could.
• 6:08
  I don't know if it's an Aquarius thing, but I we, I can ignore
• 6:12
  people. I can be in the same room with
• 6:14
  you, have conversations with you and not even give a good like
• 6:22
  once I leave that room it ends there.
• 6:25
  And she said she's PR person. Like what do you tell your
• 6:29
  clients when they are in the public spare?
• 6:33
  They have to work with people, maybe different people in the
• 6:36
  movie industry, music industry, and maybe personally they have
• 6:39
  issues with that person, but a brand approached them to work
• 6:43
  together. Would you say, oh don't work
• 6:45
  with them or give them attitude or what?
• 6:47
  You're just going to be stopping your bank?
• 6:50
  Like, learn to coexist with people, learn to be in the same
• 6:54
  room, learn to have arguments, constructive arguments without
• 6:58
  even. Like, I love faith.
• 7:01
  I love her because she could sit down with everything I talk,
• 7:11
  explain herself without being like literally coming to
• 7:17
  people's faces or pointing fingers.
• 7:19
  Miriam house, we just flying up and down.
• 7:22
  I think that was why Tiana got physical with her, which was not
• 7:27
  necessary. Like, I don't even think that
• 7:30
  should have happened, but I think that was what kind of
• 7:34
  triggered her for Tiana. She had medical challenges and
• 7:39
  even the last episode she was not there because I think she
• 7:43
  later posted on my Instagram page that she was dealing with
• 7:46
  her health challenges. Now Tanya, who just got into the
• 7:50
  whole mix, I think would have been they were trying to kind of
• 7:54
  replace Caroline, but I would have preferred I would prefer 10
• 7:59
  Carolines to one Tanya. Or like Tanya did not just work
• 8:04
  because I think she was just trying to be a people's pleaser
• 8:08
  and move with the crowd. And since the crowd, you know,
• 8:12
  which is Yabo Joe basically with Armenians trauma they were
• 8:18
  hating on faith and somehow Laura, because Laura brought us
• 8:23
  with group. So she kind of moves those
• 8:27
  people. So when it comes to
• 8:28
  conversations of did you see what happened, if that was going
• 8:31
  to favour anybody in her camp, she would not.
• 8:35
  She would fame Amisha. She would be like, oh, I did not
• 8:39
  remember like when Choma and Miriam had kind of a squabble
• 8:43
  and she actually was there trying to separate the whole
• 8:47
  thing. But because her friend she's
• 8:51
  friends with trauma or she's friends with Yabo, who is by
• 8:55
  extension Chambers friend, she kind of claimed she didn't
• 9:03
  remember what happened or she was not like she just but when
• 9:07
  it comes to some of the information that is going to
• 9:10
  kind of benefits or tarnish somebody else's image that she's
• 9:15
  not friends with, she's happy to bring it up cook up things.
• 9:20
  So Tanya for me did not work out like she she did not bring it.
• 9:26
  No style no intelligence. No.
• 9:30
  Like she did not bring it for me.
• 9:31
  I'm sorry. Maybe some people like that.
• 9:34
  But that did not work for me. The other person I'm going to
• 9:38
  talk about is Doctor Rumen. Hey, I don't even know if he was
• 9:43
  part of the housewives because he was not.
• 9:45
  I don't think he was formally introduced as a housewife.
• 9:49
  He just came in as a friend because the ladies, they don't
• 9:52
  like faith. They use doctor as a weapon
• 9:57
  fashion against her. So anyway they're going to
• 10:02
  invite, is it rumour, whatever, He will just he's this kind of
• 10:07
  person that you never want to have as a friend.
• 10:10
  Because as a friend, he is going to sit down there with you,
• 10:14
  bring up people, talk about them, bash them.
• 10:18
  And the very slightest minutes that he feels that you're not
• 10:24
  feeding into that negative energy, he's going to go back to
• 10:28
  that person that he was talking shit about.
• 10:30
  And then he's going to tell them everything he said.
• 10:34
  But he's going to change it that you said that thing.
• 10:38
  He gave me PTSD. I mean, yes, I've had really
• 10:43
  horrible friends, but I don't think it was to that extent.
• 10:48
  Like it was he was and he was a man, he's a doctor.
• 10:55
  Even Faith said you should be a writer, a script writer.
• 10:59
  He sat down there was the last dinner they had.
• 11:02
  He sat down there and talked a whole lot of things about like a
• 11:08
  whole lot of made-up story about Faith.
• 11:11
  And I'm very happy that production protocol clips from
• 11:13
  conversations they had just to ensure that people know what was
• 11:17
  going on. Let's say if you've not watched
• 11:18
  the other episode and you're just watching Doctor Miss Pete's
• 11:22
  Lies. They had those clips there for
• 11:25
  people to understand that OK, this man is just sitting down
• 11:30
  knowing that cameras in front of him and he, I, I, I don't get
• 11:36
  it. I don't understand it.
• 11:37
  People will say, oh, they told us to bring drama, but I listen,
• 11:42
  there are dramas that you, even the devil, will stay away from.
• 11:47
  I think even the devil is looking at Doctor Murray, like,
• 11:50
  hey, I gave you one, I went nine yards, you know.
• 11:55
  So this season for me has just been too much drama.
• 12:00
  Everybody was under the thumbs of Yabo Joe and Yabot said she
• 12:06
  knew she can bully because Laura accused of actually being a
• 12:09
  bully. She said yes, that she can.
• 12:11
  She can be a bully. She does not like you.
• 12:13
  And we all know the situation with mobile, you know, holding
• 12:18
  the torchlight for people, not bullying anybody, trying to hold
• 12:23
  Naira Malia and Sam Larry accountable for the alleged
• 12:27
  bullying. But the tables are turned, I
• 12:30
  think. I think that's just that clip
• 12:33
  had turned the tables. People started seeing Yabba in a
• 12:37
  different light. Even Naira Molly filed a lawsuit
• 12:45
  defamation lawsuits seeking for 500 million from Yabuju.
• 12:49
  The her daughter has come out to defend her mother.
• 12:53
  Her boyfriend, Polo has been lying, screaming at the top of
• 12:58
  his voices that she did not mean any bad.
• 13:02
  But at the end of the day, yeah, boy, I understand that you've
• 13:06
  been in the industry for, according to you, 25 years.
• 13:10
  But when I was really into Nollywood movies, I did not know
• 13:13
  who you are. I'm sorry about that.
• 13:15
  But that's just the truth. So let's say now we're getting
• 13:20
  to know you. People that don't know you.
• 13:22
  We're just getting to know you. I know you're trying to be an
• 13:25
  activist or you are an activist, which we applaud you for,
• 13:28
  because everybody wants, whenever they're in a situation,
• 13:32
  they need somebody that will speak up for them.
• 13:35
  That is great. We applaud you for that.
• 13:37
  But going against everything that you know or you represent,
• 13:43
  to go on a reality show, to bully people, to literally step
• 13:46
  on people's clothes or dresses or train or whatever you want to
• 13:52
  say just because you think they are overdressed, what is your
• 13:56
  business? If they are overdressed?
• 13:57
  That's their business. That is their fashion.
• 14:00
  And then you said that you can bully somebody that you don't
• 14:02
  like, which you literally did on that show.
• 14:06
  And then you're claiming that they told you to bring drama.
• 14:11
  If I as a person I stand against, let's say stealing, and
• 14:19
  this is my guess, my morals against my belief, against
• 14:23
  everything, every fibre of my being, and then in a reality
• 14:27
  show which I am supposed to represent who I am and they're
• 14:31
  selling me, OK, bring drama. I will not pick stealing as my
• 14:39
  as the drama was going to bring. Like why would I now go and
• 14:43
  steal somebody's whatever just because oh, they told me to
• 14:46
  bring drama? This is Iyabo Joe, but coming
• 14:50
  out as a person, as he abujo online to say, I am this
• 14:56
  superhuman super activist mother hen and then disassociating
• 15:01
  yourself from the bully that you were on the Real Housewives of
• 15:05
  Lagos, That doesn't make sense. Regardless of how you want to
• 15:08
  spin the narrative, we could all do better.
• 15:11
  We have everybody watching, We have kids watching, we have the
• 15:16
  younger generation watching. What do you want them to take
• 15:20
  away from that programme, regardless whether it's not a
• 15:23
  movie, it's a reality show, so you hold the pen.
• 15:28
  They are not giving you scripts, or they're not.
• 15:33
  Anyway, I think I'm making this video too long, which I don't
• 15:36
  want to do, but we could all do better.
