Language barriers | The Real Housewives of Lagos S2 | Only on Showmax 

Who is your winner?

She always insists people are faking it but language is not that simple. It is not a matter of shame, it's about having the opportunities to learn.

I grew up in Ghana, never spoken my native language and I still can’t speak it so I believe faith when she says she can’t speak

It’s not a lie and is actually very common. In all parts of Nigeria, especially in major cities such as Lagos, so many people do not speak their native language. Regardless of the tribe one is born into, There is a lot of pressure to assimilate in to the western culture and many hold the belief that speaking their native language takes them away from that. Parents push their children to learn and speak English because they associate speaking English with living abroad and being successful

The girl in the pink dress your makeup not matching is a barrier 😂😂😂

Mariam is the Mother of Fakery while Tania is the Mother of disappointment. Do they have other words in their vocabulary bank

I’m from port harcourt , majority of the people in port harcourt speak pidgin it is very possible that most people can’t even speak their indigenous language because in ph pidgin is so popular and centralized .

As an Afro-American woman who has traced 32% of my ancestral DNA to the Igbo people of Nigeria, I was proud and smiling from ear to ear watching these beautiful people speak Igbo.

How is it fake when it comes to faith? I am nigerian and can't even hold a full conversation in my mother tongue, like at least she was honest some of us only know a few simple words sometimes some of us don't know anything, at least we still immerse ourselves into the culture.

I and ALL my Nigerian friends DO NOT UNDERSTAND A WORD of any of our dialects. She's not alone. Very sad but yeah people mike us exist. When you grow up rich your parent believe not knowing your language make you look sophisticated. ONLY my Hausa friends could rap in their language. And IT IS A BIG SHAME. I once called my mum on the phone in Nigeria and told her how sad I was that she felt it was needed to deprive me of an identity as an African and a Nigerian. This once call took place after my daughter came home from school and said she had to say a few words in her mother's language for the end of year party. Every child with a non-european parent had to say something in their parent's language....I WAS ASHAMED; That was what prompted me calling my mother and disclosing to her how I felt robbed of my African identity.

Yoruba language is too sweet mehn. Love it.

"Igbo w a sprinkle of British" should have said " she spoke oy-igbo"😅

It's very possible for faith not to be able to speak Ikwere, i have friends of similar minority languages that can't speak but some can understand. Ikwere is a minority language, you can't compare it to a majority language like Yoruba, Hausa & Igbo that people speak everywhere, everyday & always in our faces.

See as Mariam dey chew like goat😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Am so disappointed in some of this women bashing faith.. like it not uncommon not to speak you panifiable and it doesn’t mean you fake .. jeezzz.. enough of the toxicity

I don’t think it’s fake at all. Some parents do a terrible job with teaching their children their native language. I know several Nigerians that were born/ raised in lagos that can’t speak Igbo fluently. Even some that can’t speak Yoruba. Who do I blame ? The parents that keep speaking Oyibo and or pidgin English with the kids.. Shoot, Chioma’s Igbo isn’t the best either. She was born and raised in Nigeria before migrating to the UK.

I grew up in Lagos, surrounded by yoruba people, did Yoruba language in sec school,parent spoke Igbo to me always but my igbo language was still not good until went to uni Anambra for 3years that was when i learnt how to speak igbo

These women were quite bias towards Faith, but come on surly she can say some words in her language , at least chioma tried

Not Iyabo saying Faith’s phonetic isn’t aligning when she(Iyabo) can’t construct good sentences 😂😂😂😂 This is so hilarious 😂😂😂

I cant speak my dialect, my parents NEVER forced us so it is VERY possible lol

Now I see why they have an issue with Faith 😂😂😂

I love the set up its beautiful

Its giving "African on African" racism😢

They’re so obsessed with faith it’s annoying 💀

Marrium nd her bird hairstyle.

Is very very possible madam Iyabo and Tannia. Here in Port Harcourt, most of us dont know how to speak our dialect becus our most common languages here is just English and pigin. River State is a multi lingual state which Port Harcourt is our capital. So Iyabo please rest and live our faith alone 🙄

Why are they so nasty towards Faith

Laura's Igbo is 😂😂😂😂 Whaaaaaat

It’s not on show max in the Uk what’s going on

Port Harcourt is a no man’s land when it comes to languages unlike the east Igbo, west Yoruba and north hausa, and lots of us don’t speak it so don’t say it’s not possible, I hear my language very well but I don’t speak it.

All the rrrrrrrrrrrrr🤣🤣

Is possible although is shameful to say i too can't speak my mother's tongue 👅 and am in my early 30s my parents failed us is disappointing and frustrating because at times we are in situation when i dying to tell her something because of the surrounding we are i can't speak English i tell mom you see you didn't teach me my mother tongue 😢😢😢

After being harassed by my family during a wedding, this speaks to me.

Chioma born and raised in Nigeria but somehow acts more English than the English. 🙄It is the fakery.

It’s okay for Chioma to try but fake when Faith can’t lol I’m from ikwerre and no I don’t know how to speak ikwerre but I understand 80% it doesn’t make me fake .

He is so handsome!

Why is a guy among house wives??

Chille .. I thought I seen Porsche on there lol ...

Miriam clears has a problem with Faith's presents in the group. She is trying her best to turn everyone again Faith . She is annoying 😢

I know many people who can understand the language but can’t speak it

How is it a dielect when they are speaking two different languages?

It's possible to not know how to speak your language. My cousins stay in Edo state very close to my grandma's house n they cannot speak anything at all. Y'all should stop bashing Faith you're just pained

These women are gorgeous

So I have showmax.still can't watch the season one episodes.

The lady with yellow on looks 💛

Both my parents are from ijebu and i can't speak a single word in ijebu. Not even good morning. I speak yoruba but not fluently. It's very possible.

iyabo, tiannah, rommel and mariam should use the energy used for chioma on faith na. Toxicity here is much

😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

I don't speak Yoruba I grew up in London so Faith is not alone in not knowing another language. My mother tongue is English so c'est la vie!

It is very possible she doesn’t speak her language. PortHarcourt is not really like say Enugu. If you said both parents were Igbo and she grew up in Enugu but doesn’t speak Igbo, I might agree with Iyabo Ojo (I believe that’s her who made the comment).

I am from Port Harcourt too and I cannot speak it well, so I think faith is right 100%?

Mariam, why are you hating

I miss Carolyna. I’m glad Faith is here otherwise I would have stopped watching this after episode 1. The behavior of Iyabo and Mariam is disgusting.

Nigeria is finished!! Must you guys copy everything? Like FELA said “No sense, no ideas, Dem go Dey copy overseas Dey go”

The guy’s browns is frightful

Dear aunty Mariam and mama ijabo ojo am 35 and I don’t even know how to speak urhobo stop hating

I hate that Showmax can not be used in the US anymore 😞

I am 27 years old and my parents didn't speak their language to any of us. I feel very embarrassed to say that i can't speak my language 😢

😂😂

I love this season 2, i love chioma friendship with iyabo, and i love how laura didn't bring her drama from season1 too season 2, she's little bit change, for toyin i don't really how she feels like she's on top everybody

What would be the reason for faking?

So what happened to Caroline

I’m 32 and I can’t speak my dialect even though I grew up in my grandparents house from the age of 5-12

Truly, Some people cant speak their dialect. Main cause may be their parents are not from the same tribe or their parents only speak English to them at home. Port Harcourt being a case study, quite a number of languages are spoken there. I lived there for 9 years, i cant speak any of their language....Here in Lagos, you will understand the language, Yoruba is spoken mainly.

"its the fakery for me" what would she gain from lying tho

Some ppl have pride in not knowing their father tongue

Omg, Laura is wrong... Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂, she's so wrong. That's not what the interpretation of her own turn means in igbo. 1:03

Marian get problem

is this the sum total to judge about?!

Who invited the house husband?

Is very common in our world ooo , people wake up and don’t judge . A lot of our BROTHERS don’t know how to speak their languages , is réel ooo these boys they come to toast u , but they don’t even know where they came from 😅😅😅😂😂😂 is réel my people

I don’t know my dialect ?

I love Mariam

What is it with ppl disliking others speaking with a foreign accent if you can understand the message?

This is so interesting, so they’re saying people are faking that the they CANT speak the languages?

I have to see this. Period dot.

I can't speak my dialect, just only Nigerian pidgin English and English

But what is the fuss about not being able to speak their dialect? I am from Kaduna. We have over 60 dialects and I can't speak mine.

Ikwerre 💯

I am Urhobo but, I don't know how to speak my language, though I understand it perfectly. It's possible not to be able to speak ur language. What are they on? 🙄

lol I’m American….but I CLEARLY see who the Queen Bee is 😈 those other girls need to be quiet

What is so hard for them to understand about her not speaking her native language? Like I get not agreeing but obviously it’s possible.

No way she doesn’t know how to speak a word😂

I don't speak my native language nor can i hear ..because my parents nevwr spoke it to me

That Laura's igbo is very embarrassing

Abeg wetin Laura talk?????? This one na serious blunder😢

Iyabo was a fav of mine last season but this season she is giving major bully vibes. She has her own accent which is Yoruba- American-English. Miriam I actually hate to hear her speak (broken record)

Is any of the ladies Edo?

Its a language not dialect!

Why are they calling languages dialects? Igbo, yoruba are languages

Yeah I'd have an issue the dialect is hard to understand respectfully

I’m sorry but is true. Many diasporians born and raised in Europe or US cannot even speak their own dialects. They aware about culture , traditional clothing , songs , food, craftsmanship , history , but all in English. Armenians, Algerians , Indians , Vietnameses , Ghanaians , Filipinos born and raise in US are not able to speak and pronounce a basic sentence in their own dialect.

Iyabo should leave faith alone abeg

I have lived with my parents all my live and never learned my native dialect. These women are annoying 😒

Why I don’t see even one women with their natural hair. This is weird and scary bro..

This women are so intimidated by faith....How can queens treat another queen like that Dr Rommel , am so disappointed I thought you were a good friend

As an American who has a Nigerian Father this is pretty degrading. So your blood is more African because you speak naive? So your either not African enough or not Blk enough. Really ridiculous.

Port Harcourt speaks lots pidgin and English more than their dialect...so aunty make una try rest

What the heck is this

The effevts of colonization unfortunately when your counteies main language is that of the oppressor
