Three thirty-something Nigerian-British female friends are living in London, successfully navigating a world that mixes roast dinners with jollof rice: Ronke, desperate to settle down, is in love with Kayode; Boo has a gorgeous husband and daughter, but feels unfulfilled and unsure where she belongs; Simi’s life seems perfect, but she’s crippled by imposter syndrome, and her husband thinks they’re trying for a baby. She’s not. At least they have each other. That is, until the charismatic Isobel arrives in their lives, bringing a whole lot of wahala with her. 

Based on Nikki May’s bestselling debut novel which is now available in 17 countries internationally. Wahala is a six-part series, adapted by Theresa Ikoko for BBC1.
