    Real House wives of Lagos: Iyabo Ojo speaks amid backlash from viewers, co-stars

    Actress Iyabo Ojo has dropped her two cents on backlashes and criticisms she is getting over her disputes with co-stars on Real Housewives of Lagos (RHOL) Season 2, especially Faith Morey.

    The mother of two noted how many were comparing a reality show to real-life situations using MohBad as an example.

    Assuring them that she wouldn’t give up on MohBad’s case, she shed light on her dramatic personality on the reality show.

    Iyabo clarified that in her real life, her life can’t be edited, but on a show, it can be especially to suit a certain narrative.

    She noted how everyone can’t play the victim, enabler, or peacemaker, as the show will be boring hence her dramatic side, which she signed up for.

    “The Real Housewives of Lagos season 2…
    I can see some viewers taking it so personally, well done. That’s what we signed up for but be calming down.
    .
    “Facts!!! in my real life, cameras won’t follow me around….. meaning my real life can’t be edited. If I want to call friends, hang out, celebrate an achievement, travel out, or plan a staycation, it will be with my close friends, family, and loved ones.
    With that being said, the show is indeed not scripted, but we’re given guidelines that are being situated and edited to suit a narrative that will help engage and entertain our dear viewers and fans
    .
    “We can’t all play the victim, enabler, or peacemaker, the show will be boring now. This season 2, I’m a Vawulance child, I signed up to be the villain on the show, so I know it will come with a lot of dragging like I better pass my neighbor. Una go drag taya ooo, bcos na episode 4 of season 2 una still dey, am I the villain in all the remaining episodes? that I can’t reveal, you have to watch the show to find out.

    “Am I friends with all the real housewives… NO
    When we meet outside, we say hello, and hi, to each other & move on
    Life no too hide like that, it is what it is!!!
    .
    “The train matter was part of my own gbasgbos strategy. I expected the dragging. On a normal day, I will never ever step on anyone’s iru, sorry train except maybe na by mistake?
    Even that same day, once the cameras went off, I apologized, even at the beach house, I apologized again to her ……
    See all these things I am saying now, I shouldn’t be saying it until after the show bcos it will water down the show ooooo.

    “Now!!! the only reason am shalaying is because I can see some olodos who have decided to compare a show, 7 ladies were contacted and paid to come together to form a friendship, show lifestyle, show family, give small gbasgbos to entertain and engage you all…to a real-life situation of a young artist (Mohbad) who died and I’m seeking justice for…
    .
    “Make una know worry this Mohbad’s case I will follow to the end and another one I no go do again, make una allow me drink water drop cup……,” she wrote.

    Why I don’t go to court despite being a lawyer – RMD

    RMD disclosed this during a recent Interview with Cable Lifestyle, while explaining his journey into the movie industry.

    He said: “I am a man of faith, and each one of us does not have to be on a pulpit on a weekly basis to serve God. I serve God wholeheartedly in my own way, believing that pursuing excellence in every field of endeavour is how mankind honours God.

    “When I perform my work at its highest level, I am honouring God and fulfilling the purpose for which I am here. I touch and impact lives through the area for which humanity knows me, trusting my sense of judgment. For me, this is my way of honouring God.

    “It also brings to mind the fact that when people hear that I am a lawyer, they often ask if I go to court. I educate them, explaining that not every lawyer needs to go to court. So, it is not a funny question for me; it aligns with what I represent.”
