The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) has emerged as a standout gem within Bravo’s roster, delivering eight seasons of Maryland’s unfiltered Housewives, often sprinkled with tax evasion rumors, shattering wine glasses, and the intriguing tale of a supposed hex woven by the mother of cast member Wendy Osefo.
The ongoing season of RHOP has thrust this storyline into the spotlight, introducing new Housewife Nneka Ihim, who alleges that the Osefo family engaged in voodoo-like prayers, aiming ill-wishes towards Nneka, even hinting at the involvement of a shrine. Amidst the eyebrow-raising accusation, RHOP fans are eager for the fallout of this revelation, marking yet another intriguing twist in a franchise known for its high-drama and sensational storylines.
As the focus zeroes in on the subject of this supposed hex, attention has shifted towards Nneka Ihim, the latest addition to RHOP. A first-generation Nigerian American hailing from Wisconsin, Nneka boasts a career as a lawyer, an entrepreneur in the alcohol industry, and a former employee in financial technology.
Nneka’s personal life, particularly her marriage to Dr. Ikenna Ihim, has intrigued viewers. Nneka met her husband, Dr. Ikenna, during her time in Los Angeles, a city where she lived for a decade before relocating to the East Coast. Their romance sparked after Dr. Ikenna initiated contact via direct messages, leading to their first date on Christmas Day. The couple has been married for two years and has recently purchased a new home in Potomac, as featured on RHOP.
Dr. Ikenna Ihim pursued his education at the University of Maryland, College Park, earning a biology degree before attending St. Matthew’s University for his medical studies. After completing his certification at Coney Island Hospital, Dr. Ikenna established his career, specializing in nasogastric intubation. Notably, he hails from a family with a background in generational wealth, and holds a chieftaincy title as Nze Ikeoha 1 of Nkwerre, with his father recognized as a business magnate.
On his Instagram account, Dr. Ikenna identifies himself as an influencer, frequently sharing humorous skits related to healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he actively engaged in raising awareness about the virus’s impact on the Black community, offering educational content and hosting live discussions on the topic.
While Dr. Ikenna has made sporadic appearances on RHOP during Nneka’s debut season, it’s anticipated that his role on the show will expand, especially given the storyline involving the supposed hex directed at his wife. Fans can catch new episodes of The Real Housewives of Potomac airing every Sunday on Bravo, eager to witness how this narrative unfolds.
