Old social media posts from Senator Ned Nwoko's fifth wife, Laila Charani, have dramatically resurfaced online, creating fresh buzz around the billionaire politician's marital affairs. The timing coincides with ongoing tension between Nwoko and his sixth wife, popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
Marriage Struggles Revealed in Viral Posts
The rediscovered posts date back to 2021 when Laila Charani, Nwoko's Moroccan wife, openly discussed the challenges she faced during her marriage to the prominent politician. According to the viral content, the couple experienced a significant separation during that period, with Laila declaring she was completely done with the union and planning to return to her native Morocco without their children.
Social media users across Nigeria have been sharing screenshots of Laila's old posts where she narrated her marital difficulties. The resurgence of these personal revelations comes amid the current public drama involving Regina Daniels, who recently faced allegations from her husband regarding substance use.
Ned Nwoko's Serious Allegations Against Laila
In December 2021, Senator Nwoko publicly explained the reasons behind their marital breakdown, making several serious allegations against his then-estranged wife. The politician accused Laila of infidelity and claimed she had neglected their children. More shockingly, he alleged she had been physically abusive toward them.
Nwoko further claimed that Laila underwent plastic surgery without his knowledge, displayed erratic behavior, and went clubbing with another man while their children were away on a paid vacation. These allegations painted a troubling picture of their relationship during that difficult period.
Reconciliation and Public Apology
Days after Nwoko's allegations surfaced, Laila posted a WhatsApp message she claimed was from her husband, demanding she post an apology he had composed before leaving social media. Subsequently, Laila publicly reconciled with Nwoko, posting a formal apology to her husband and the entire Nwoko family.
In her social media statement, she wrote: "This is to my entire Ned Nwoko family. I have realised that I made mistakes. They were not intentional. I listened too much to outsiders, and I have decided to apologize to my husband and other members of the family. I want peace and progress in the family."
Nigerians React to Resurfaced Posts
The timing of these resurfaced posts has sparked intense reactions from Nigerians on social media. User @marlyvia_perfection commented: "She wanted to leave and the guy did everything to hold her back the same way he's doing to Regina right now."
Another user, @harmonipure.store, noted the pattern: "The problem is from the man. If Regina Daniels was the only person I could have said maybe the problem is from her but this happened to his other wife and now happening to Regina Daniels, the problem can only be from him."
User @dine_and_wine_with_bims described the situation as "not marriage, this is bondage," while @fairyshirley_012 remarked: "I've been waiting for this. Nigerians have short term memory."
The resurfaced posts have drawn attention to what some social media users see as a recurring pattern in Nwoko's marriages, with many expressing concern for the women involved and calling for greater scrutiny of the politician's personal relationships.
