A viral video featuring Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has sparked widespread debate online after it appeared to suggest she divorced at 24 and took half of her ex-husband Ned Nwoko's property. The clip, shared by a popular Nigerian blog, showed the actress dancing with a caption that read: “Married at age 19, divorced at 24, collect half of his property.”
