Desperate Housewives Africa is a Nigerian television Comedy-drama-mystery that premiered on Ebony Life TV on 30 April 2015. It is an adaptation of the American series Desperate Housewives. The majority of the episodes are titled according to the original version which were in turn named after lyrics by composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim. The show revolves around four housewives namely; Ese De Souza (Nini Wacera), Kiki Obi (Kehinde Bankole), Tari Gambadia (Michelle Dede), and Funke Lawal (Omotu Bissong). The show is showcased from Rume Bello (Marcy Dolapo Oni) point of view who dies at the pilot episode. The first season is slated to have 23 episodes.

It begins with the shocking suicide of Rume Bello (Mary Alice Young); a beautiful housewife, known for her warmth and generosity. In death, Rume delves into the lives of the friends she left behind – commenting from her now elevated perspective. Her intimate circle of friends who are confused by her death, are introduced. Tari Gambadia (Susan Mayer) – a divorced, single-mother looking for love; Funke Lawal (Lynette Scavo) a corporate high-achiever turned stay-at-home mum of four children who create a huge scene at Rume Bello's wake seriously embarrassing her; Ese De Souza (Bree Van de Kamp), a devout and perfectly groomed housewife and mother of two teenagers – who is dealing with the outcome of her family's rejection of her façade and standards; Kiki Obi (Gabrielle Solis), ex Nollywood actress and trophy wife – whose marriage to a rising movie financier Chuka Obi (Carlos Solis) fails to satisfy her deepest needs, and she turns to her personal trainer, Tai Etim (John Rowland) to alleviate her boredom.

The ladies on Hibiscus Lane try to understand what could have led their friend to commit suicide – especially after finding a disturbing blackmail note in her belongings. Kiki continues her dangerous affair with her personal trainer and almost gets caught by her husband.

The ladies agree to host a dinner in honour of their friend Rume.

After Mrs Benson discovers that Tari is interested in Larry, she realises that Tari burnt Rhetta's house down, and blackmails her, forcing Tari to subsidise her bills in exchange for keeping her secret; Chuka suspects Kiki is having an affair but jumps to the wrong conclusion about the culprit; Funke struggles with giving her kids medication for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), while Ese struggles with Leo's (Andrew) difficult behaviour when Kay moves out.
