Sammy West, the elder brother of prominent Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, and his wife have marked their second wedding anniversary in a heartfelt celebration that comes just hours after his release from detention.
Emotional Social Media Celebration
The couple took to their Instagram pages on Tuesday, November 11, to commemorate two years of marriage with a joint post that reflected on their journey together. Sammy's wife penned an emotional tribute that highlighted the growth, challenges, and enduring love they've experienced since exchanging vows in 2023.
In her lengthy caption, she described marriage as a daily choice that requires patience, communication, and forgiveness. She wrote: Exactly 2 years ago, Nov 11, 2023, we said 'I do' — not just to a wedding, but to a lifetime of showing up for each other.
Timing Following Controversial Release
The anniversary celebration holds special significance as it follows Sammy West's recent release from detention. The entertainment personality had been allegedly arrested by his brother-in-law, Senator Ned Nwoko, who is married to his sister Regina Daniels.
Sammy's wife showered praises on her husband in her Instagram post, calling him my strong man, my fighter, my best friend, my answered prayer. She expressed gratitude for his consistent support and commitment to their partnership.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The celebration post triggered diverse reactions from social media users. While many congratulated the couple, others couldn't resist making references to what might have been if Sammy hadn't been released.
One user, Oghenefegor Ekporo, commented: Imagine celebrating your wedding anniversary inside prison. Thank God for Sowore for stepping in for him.
Another comment from Toyin Hero read: Ahhh na like this Sammy for take do marriage anniversary for inside prison o, indeed the gods are wise.
The anniversary celebration comes amid ongoing family tensions, particularly following Senator Ned Nwoko's previous allegations that Sammy's wife and others were negatively influencing Regina Daniels.
