Regina Daniels: Man Questions Actress’ Move to Divorce Ned Nwoko: “Didn’t She Marry in Shrine?”

  • A Nigerian man has alleged that Regina Daniels’ marriage to Ned Nwoko was sealed in a shrine, not a church or mosque
  • His claim surfaces as Regina publicly distances herself from her marital issues
  • The actress maintained she made the decision to marry Ned herself, even against her family’s wishes

The ongoing situation surrounding Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, has taken yet another unexpected turn after a Nigerian man shared a controversial opinion on their marital bond.

In a now-viral video, the man argued that Regina’s alleged move to walk away from the marriage would not be as straightforward as people think.

According to him, the actress’ marriage to the billionaire politician was not conducted in a church or mosque, but rather in a traditional shrine, which he claimed makes it spiritually binding.

His comment has now added another layer to the already emotional conversation surrounding Regina’s marriage and family situation.

This comes after Regina, on Monday, November 03, accused Ned Nwoko of orchestrating the arrest of her brother, Sammy West.

The actress expressed worry and frustration as efforts to get Sammy released continued.

Her mother, Rita Daniels, also voiced her displeasure, alleging that Regina had been financially supportive of Ned during their marriage.

In response, Regina publicly defended her mother. She insisted that her mother never pushed her into the marriage. In fact, Regina revealed that her family initially opposed the union.
