Nigerian senator Ned Nwoko has sparked widespread public reaction following a controversial post on X (formerly Twitter) dated 19 October 2025, in which he accused his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, of violent behaviour and substance abuse.
In the post, Nwoko alleged that Daniels had assaulted domestic staff, threatened a nurse, and neglected their son’s medical needs. He claimed her actions were fuelled by drug and alcohol abuse, which he said was enabled by her suppliers.

The senator further urged Daniels to seek rehabilitation, warning that her life and safety were in jeopardy without professional intervention.
Nigerians react to the accusations made by Ned Nwoko
The post has ignited a wave of reactions across Nigeria, with many citizens expressing concern over the public nature of the accusations and the potential impact on the couple’s child.
Big Richy, reacting on X, questioned the appropriateness of airing such personal matters online, stating:
“Why is this on social media in the first place? Why will a senator post this about his wife who’s a celebrity? If a blogger does it, that’s different but a senator? All the best to you and yours.”
Oyoro4 echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the potential harm to the child’s wellbeing:
“A husband publicly admitting that the wife does drugs and abuses alcohol is not good for the sake of children involved. Marriage may crash but children’s image and health should be respected and protected! Do better Sir!”
Calls for compassion and private rehabilitation
While some criticised Nwoko’s approach, others called for empathy and a more discreet path to healing. @ArcSadam urged both parties to prioritise therapy and rehabilitation over public confrontation:
“This situation is deeply unfortunate and calls for compassion, not chaos. If what’s stated here is true, then addiction has become the real enemy, not either party. Drug and alcohol abuse destroy families silently, and rehabilitation, not public confrontation, is the only sustainable solution. Both Ned and Regina should prioritise private therapy, family counselling, and professional rehab for her recovery. Protect the child, lower the public noise, and let healing take the front seat. Families are meant to be mended, not mocked.”

Public skepticism and alternative solutions
Some Nigerians expressed scepticism over the allegations, suggesting ulterior motives. @zeinmira commented:
“When they want to ruin you; they’d say you are doing drugs. Typical wealthy people playbook. I can’t blame her if she drink alcohol though, how’s she supposed to cope with your face? Waking up next to you, everyday!”
Others offered alternative strategies for handling the situation. @Ccdon proposed a more discreet and strategic approach:
“What I would have done instead of coming to social media: 1. Set up all the suppliers up and get them picked up by NDLEA. 2. Lure my wife on a vacation trip abroad, enter Jordan and get her into a nice rehab center. Return home and continue living my best life unperturbed.”
