The ongoing marital saga between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, politician Ned Nwoko, has taken a new turn with a direct intervention from her family. Sammy, the actress's elder brother, has publicly addressed Nwoko, issuing a warning and dishing out pointed advice.
Sammy's Stern Warning to the Politician
In a social media post that has gone viral, Sammy, who was reportedly arrested during the peak of the couple's feud, sent a daring message to Ned Nwoko and his communication team. He sternly warned them to keep his family's name out of their public statements and instead focus on addressing the problems within Nwoko's senatorial constituency.
Sammy made it clear he would not remain silent while his sister's reputation was being tarnished. He specifically challenged Nwoko's claims that there was no evidence of domestic violence in the marriage, standing firmly in defense of Regina Daniels.
The Three-Point Advice for Ned Nwoko
Moving beyond the warning, Sammy offered three specific pieces of advice to the politician. He urged Ned Nwoko to first give his life to Jesus Christ. His second counsel was for Nwoko to make peace with his own soul.
The third and most discussed piece of advice was for the senator to find a therapist. Sammy emphasized the importance of focusing on positivity, noting that a man deciding he no longer wants a woman should not lead to them becoming enemies.
Fans and Public Back Sammy's Stance
The reaction from fans and social media users has been overwhelmingly in support of Sammy's message. Many agreed that Ned Nwoko should take the advice seriously, with particular emphasis on the suggestion to seek therapy.
Comments highlighted the unusual dynamic of a younger person advising an elder, attributing it to Nwoko's actions. One user noted, "Na children dey advise am now, as him no wan behave him age" (It's now children advising him, since he doesn't want to act his age). Another directly addressed Nwoko, saying, "EPA chinedu please take the 3 advice very seriously oo, it will help you heal you hear."
The situation has also drawn reactions from other public figures who have experienced similar marital struggles. Precious Chikwendu, the ex-wife of Femi Fani-Kayode, questioned what colleagues in the film industry were doing to support Regina Daniels, recalling her own difficult separation and custody battle.
This public family intervention underscores the intense scrutiny and lasting impact of the high-profile marital dispute between Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko, keeping it a dominant topic in Nigerian entertainment and social discourse.
