Nigerian Movie Star Regina Daniels, in a video, refuted the claims that she married Ned Nwoko, the Nigerian politician and business mogul, to acquire financial benefits.
The Nollywood star made an instagram video post on the 5th of November 2025 stating that her intentions for marrying Ned Nwoko were inspired by love rather than material things as controversy speculates.
She added that her family, especially her mother, former Nollywood star Rita Daniels, and her brothers spoke vehemently against her as she planned to marry the business mogul Ned Nwoko.
“I actually fell in love with Ned. Yes, I did. My mother warned me, my brothers warned me, Everybody warned me” she stated
She urged society to refrain from insulting her mother and her brothers for allowing her to marry Ned because it was her personal decision, and she fought for it to happen.
“ I went to the police station to request for my own arrest because my own family doesn’t want me to marry the love of my life” the actress stated
She recounted on emotional moments when she decided to commit suicide because the choice for her to be with the man she truly loved was not supported by her own family.
“I drove out at night, I was going to kill myself if I did not marry Ned, everyone was looking for me, my brothers were breaking bottles” she stated as she tried to hold herself back from crying.
“I actually fell in love oo, and I still care and respect him, that’s love, what is love, care and respect” she recounted emotionally.
