Regina Daniels Breaks Silence After Fallout With Ned Nwoko
  • PublishedNovember 5, 2025

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has broken her silence on the ongoing crisis in her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko, declaring that her focus remains on her children and defending her mother, Rita Daniels, against social media attacks.

The controversy, which began after a viral video surfaced on October 18 and led to allegations of drug use and the reported arrest of her family members, took a new turn on Wednesday when Daniels shared an emotional video on Instagram.

In the clip, she spoke about her struggles, the toll the situation has taken on her peace of mind, and her determination to stay strong.

“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.

Daniels pleaded with Nigerians to stop attacking her mother, describing her as her “pillar and protector,” and vowed to raise her two sons with or without her husband’s support.

“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 opposed her marriage to Nwoko, but she went ahead because she was in love.

“Everyone said no. My mom warned me, 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 recalled.

The actress dismissed claims that her mother forced her into the marriage for financial gain, stressing that she had always been a provider for her family.

“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 providing 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 said.

Daniels also spoke passionately about her sons, Munir (born 2020) and Khalifa (born 2022), vowing to protect and raise them regardless of any marital issues.

“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 tone of her message, Daniels maintained that she still respects her husband.

“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 Munir and Khalifa’s father’s name to remain strong. But they can take mine,” she said.
