Regina Daniels Breaks Silence On Marriage Crisis With Ned Nwoko

After weeks of rumours, allegations, and online attacks, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has finally spoken out about her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko, declaring that she will protect her children and stand firmly by her mother, Rita Daniels.

The drama escalated from a viral clip on October 18 to allegations of drug use and reports of family arrests. On Wednesday, Regina posted an emotional video on Instagram, speaking openly about her marriage, her children and the toll recent events have taken on her mental well-being.

“Tell me why everyone else is sleeping while I can’t. I’m not going to cry. You don’t do that in front of the camera. This means I’m tough, and I’m not crying,” she said in the video.

She pleaded with Nigerians to stop attacking her mother, whom she described as her “pillar and protector,” insisting that Rita Daniels had always acted in her best interest.

“Hey guys, please stop insulting my mom, I beg you. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me. She’s my God on earth. For seven years, my mom held it down. You all insulted her, but she tried. She warned me. My brothers warned me. Everybody did,” she said.

She revealed that her family had initially opposed her marriage to Nwoko, but she proceeded because she believed she was in love.

“Everyone said no. My mom warned me that my brothers were fighting, breaking bottles. I even went to the police station and said, ‘Arrest me! My family doesn’t want me to marry the love of my life,’” she recounted.

Regina also rejected claims that her mother pushed her into the marriage for financial gain, insisting that she had always supported her family before getting married.

“You all should stop saying I got married out of greed. Excuse me we were not broke! What amount of money can a man give to a mother who already has a child to provide for the whole family? Through me, my mom trained all her children. I was a blessing to her, and God used me to settle her.”

She spoke passionately about her two sons, Munir (born 2020) and Khalifa (born 2022), saying she would protect and raise them regardless of any marital difficulties.

“I’m going to fight for my children. I’ll take them, train them, and raise them with or without your support,” she declared.

Despite the emotional revelations, Daniels said she still respects Nwoko.

“I did fall in love, and I still care and respect him. That’s love — care and respect. The only reason I’m not fighting you, Ned, is that I want Mona and Khalifa’s father’s name to remain strong. But they can take mine,” she said.

In the caption of her post, the actress reaffirmed her independence, writing: “For the record, I don’t regret anything. Na only me carry my leg enter. This was a route I was meant to take — not my final destination,” she said.
