The reality star's bedroom was pretty empty, but Ikenna did make a point to talk about the bathroom plans. He made a big deal about certain conditions for the bathroom so he could spend some peaceful time in the tub.

"You don’t take baths. What are you talking about?” Nneka retorted. “Now that you’ve moved to Potomac you wanna take baths?” Her husband clarified that he did, in fact, want to take up bath time.
As it turns out Nneka is actually no stranger to property ownership. Her family holds property globally which Nneka found out is actually quite the problem... in her opinion.

“I never knew generational wealth was a problem until I got delayed for my closing,” she said. “The mortgage company found out that I had other properties that I failed to list: two lakefront properties in Wisconsin, a property in Florida, two properties in Maryland, we have property in Georgia, and we have several properties in Nigeria, I think.”
Alongside Nneka's beautiful home and huge move came her entrance on the show where she immediately started up some drama. In fact, she already made a snappy remark to Dr. Wendy Osefo, questioning her credentials. "Is she a medical doctor?" Nneka asked.
