Instagram Mistake Sparks Loyalty Questions
Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay Idibia found herself at the center of social media controversy this week after an accidental Instagram activity raised eyebrows among fans. The incident occurred on November 13, 2025, when Annie mistakenly liked a post by Laila Charani, the Moroccan wife of politician Ned Nwoko.
The Controversial Post That Started It All
Laila Charani's now-controversial Instagram post contained serious allegations against Regina Daniels, Ned Nwoko's fifth wife. In her social media outburst, Laila claimed that Regina Daniels resisted her husband's attempts to help her overcome drug and alcohol habits. The Moroccan wife further alleged that she herself had been introduced to drugs six years ago and that it was Ned Nwoko who helped her recover from addiction.
When Annie Macaulay's Instagram account showed that she had liked Laila's post, social media users were quick to react. Many expressed shock and confusion, wondering if this indicated a shift in loyalty between the co-wives. The like immediately sparked widespread speculation about Annie's position in the ongoing drama between Ned Nwoko's wives.
Annie's Swift Clarification and Apology
Annie Macaulay moved quickly to address the misunderstanding, taking to her own Instagram account to set the record straight. In a clear and direct statement, the actress explained that the like was completely unintentional and occurred while she was reading what she described as "rubbish" allegations against her friend.
"In the process of reading the rubbish that was alleged about my baby, Regina, I liked the post mistakenly," Annie wrote. "Over here, we don't play with loyalty, and my baby knows I have her back, front, and side. Make una rest abeg."
The actress made her position unmistakably clear, declaring herself "team Regina" and emphasizing her unwavering support for the mother of two. This public declaration of loyalty effectively silenced any speculation about divided allegiances.
History of Support Between Annie and Regina
This incident marks another chapter in the visible friendship between Annie Macaulay and Regina Daniels. Just recently in October, Annie had posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Regina, describing her in glowing terms as a "young queen with a heart of gold."
In her birthday message, Annie had praised Regina's character, calling her "selfless, loving, carefree, and brilliant" while expressing admiration for her accomplishments. This history of public support adds weight to Annie's current claims of loyalty and accidental social media activity.
Regina Daniels Fights Back Against Allegations
Meanwhile, Regina Daniels has not remained silent in the face of Laila Charani's allegations. The actress and mother of two responded via her Instagram story, directly addressing Laila's claims about her sleeping with young girls.
Regina stated that "sleeping with the same gender isn't something that I consider shameful" but questioned how certain Laila could be about such allegations. In a sharp retort, Regina wrote: "Is she so certain because I slept with her too?"
The response escalated further as Regina dragged Laila's son into the conflict, mentioning unspecified atrocities he had allegedly been caught doing. This exchange highlights the increasingly tense relationship between the co-wives.
Broader Context of the Ned Nwoko Marriage Saga
The social media drama occurs against the backdrop of ongoing controversies surrounding Ned Nwoko's marriages. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has recently made fresh accusations against the politician regarding his marriage to Regina Daniels.
Sowore claimed that Ned Nwoko engaged in unethical conduct before marrying his now estranged wife. However, Ned Nwoko has consistently debunked allegations that he married Regina as a minor, insisting that he never coerced her into the union.
As the situation continues to develop, Annie Macaulay's swift clarification and reaffirmed support for Regina Daniels demonstrates the complex web of relationships and loyalties in Nollywood's social circles. The incident serves as a reminder of how quickly social media interactions can be misinterpreted and the importance of clear communication in the digital age.
