- [Narrator] The wives have no idea where they're going
or who they'll be living with.
- If this family expects me to cook,
then they're gonna be in big trouble,
because I don't like to cook.
- Oh, it's smaller than my house.
- That's a big ole driveway.
Are you kidding me?
I need a four by four to get up in there.
- I hope there are children in here to help carry my bags.
- [Narrator] Before they meet their new families,
Kemi and Nikki have a chance to look around
their new homes.
- Oh.
(intense music)
Different culture.
Really personal here.
A lot different than my house.
- Probably the master bedroom.
I believe this is the magic room.
- She does a lot of cooking.
I hate cooking.
- That is game in a child's room.
That's a no-no.
If a boy is playing games all day long,
what time does he have to interact with mom and dad?
Oh, goodness, a princess lives in here!
With tiaras and, wow.
This is like crazy.
Okay, I have my work cut out for me.
- [Narrator] Kemi and Nikki have each written a manual
to guide the new wife with the running of their home.
- Our house is a very playful and joyful Nigerian home.
Because we are Nigerian, I call my husband what?
Olowo ori mi?
Wow, they really are from Nigeria.
- My name is Nikki.
My husband Scott and I got married in 2016.
This isn't the first marriage for either of us.
Okay.
I have had four marriages and he's had two!
Oh, Lord.
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord.
We do love to fight.
To fight?
Fight who?
Each other?
We're not fighting, because I'll win. (laughs)
- We work together to instill strict discipline
in our children. (laughs)
Oh, hell naw.
Yeah, good luck with that in my house.
- We have a bunch of wired kids.
They pretty much do as they please.
Oh, heck to the no.
- It is important for our children to learn and do chores.
If she tries to get my kids to do chores,
they're probably gonna call for me to come home.
- Anika is nine and she's a beauty queen.
She started doing pageants at three months old.
Did you even breastfeed this child?
- We don't allow our children to go out after dark.
Why?
- I wish Scott would participate with the family more.
He stays in our bedroom and avoids the responsibility
of being a husband and a father.
Really?
Ooh, what kind of marriage is this?
- This house reminds me a lot of the house
that I grew up in.
And when I was growing up, I couldn't do anything about it,
but I can help this household.
- [Narrator] It's now time for the wives
to meet their new husbands and families.
- How are you?
- Good, how are you?
Nice to meet you.
- [Nikki] What are y'all doing?
- [David] They bow to show respect.
- I ain't never seen nothing like that before.
That was neat.
- Thank you.
- Are these kids literally bowing at my feet?
My kids ain't bowing to nobody.
- Titi. - Nice to meet you, I'm Nikki.
- Tolu. - Tolu.
- Tiah. - Tiah.
- Daniel and I'm David.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- What you think about all this?
- I thought you were our color.
- You got a problem with that?
- [David] Don't be rude, Daniel.
- No, we not gonna get along? (laughs)
Kids are honest, that's one thing about kids.
- Hello, hello, hello!
Hey, how you doing?
- Come on in, sit down, kids.
- Oh, you don't shake hands?
- Ray, Annika, River, Teacon.
- How do you feel to have a new mommy in the house?
- Better than our old mom.
- Whoa!
- Oh, I crack myself a few times
from backslapping the child.
- Oh my goodness.
