The Real Housewives Coming To Lagos

According to inside sources, NBCUniversal owners of the popular America docu-reality series; the Real Housewives Franchise is partnering with a Nigerian organisation to produce a version of the show for the African audience.  The new show will be called the Real Housewives of Lagos and will cover the lifestyle of 5 – 8  different women resident in Lagos. Continue...

 
These women must fit a certain profile; aged between 30 and 50, extremely wealthy - married into money, inherited a fortune through her family, or just self-made millionaires - they could be married, divorced or single.  They will also grant an all-access pass to their lives: their families, friendships, careers and homes.

While there are so many women in Lagos who fit this bill, it would be interesting to see the ones who get selected to star in this show and the ones who accept.

    if that is the criteria that qualifies one as a housewife,why then is the term loathed and housewives,whether ric or poor looked down upon,in Africa that is? i always thot a housewife in Africa is one who stays at home to manage home and family affairs and is on her husband´s payroll,guess am wrong.

Nigeria and America are not similar in anyway- they don't have the kind of insecurities we have in Naija and don't forget the jealous friends, neighbors and inlaws, Nigerians are spiritual(evil, good, intermediate you name it) people.
