What I Hated about Being on Real Housewives of Lagos - Laura Ikeji
Laura gets honest
My favorite Nigerian reality TV show, Real Housewives of Lagos, is back for their second season and if you know anything about the show, or watched season one, then you know that the show came fully packed with a lot of drama, chaos, fights, and mess.
One person who happened to be in the center of a lot of the drama last season was popular socialite and Instagrammer, Laura Ikeji. We saw the socialite get into physical fights and verbal altercations especially with her co-star Caroline Hutchings. Now, in a new interview with This Day Style, Laura Ikeji is speaking about the things she did not like about season one. Here's what Laura Ikeji said.

During her interview, Laura Ikeji was asked "Have you faced any challenges or difficulties because of being on the show? How have you overcome them?" She said:
LAURA IKEJI: The main challenge I faced after the show’s first season was dealing with the change in how people perceived me. I went from being known as the happy girl to someone who supposedly had bad energy. I hated that narrative because it was untrue. My soul is pure and radiates positivity.
"It could be argued that you were somewhat of a social outsider and instigator of issues in the previous season. Do you feel that your relationship with the cast has improved this season?"
LAURA IKEJI: Social outsider and instigator of issues? When did being real become “instigating issues”? I don’t recall instigating any issues. I was just too real.
"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Laura! Can we expect to witness any of this joyous journey on the show?"
LAURA IKEJI: Thanks so much! I’m so excited about having my third child. About seeing the journey on the show, well, you’ll have to watch to find out.
"Have you been involved in any business ventures or entrepreneurial pursuits outside of the show? If so, can you tell us more about them?"
LAURA IKEJI: I just opened a beauty store on Admiralty Way in Lekki, Phase I. Laura Beauty is the place to be if you love everything beauty. We sell our namebrand products alongside other makeup brands.

How My Mother's Passing Changed Me - Funke Akindele
Nollywood actress Funke Akindele is celebrating the release of her new Prime Video series She Must Be Obeyed which is currently streaming and doing numbers worldwide. Despite her smiling and doing red carpet events getting glammed up and looking all smiley and happy, it is not to be forgotten that tragedy did strike the actress earlier this year when she announced the loss of her mother, Mrs. Rachel Bolanle Adebanjo Akindele.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
