Nollywood actress Georgina Onuoha has launched a scathing attack on Senator Ned Nwoko following his controversial statements about his wife, actress Regina Daniels, and her alleged need for rehabilitation.
Ned Nwoko's Shocking Revelation
The political figure made headlines on Sunday when he publicly discussed plans to send his young wife to rehab. Ned Nwoko claimed that Regina Daniels needed rehabilitation for substance abuse issues, stating this was necessary for both her mental health and the wellbeing of their children.
The revelation came amid ongoing speculation about troubles in their high-profile marriage, which has been subject to public scrutiny since its beginning due to their significant age difference.
Georgina Onuoha's Fiery Response
Georgina Onuoha, a Nollywood actress now based abroad, did not hold back in her criticism of the senator. In her passionate response, she accused Nwoko of marrying an underage girl and described their union as diabolical.
She questioned the senator's motives, particularly regarding his decision to keep Regina Daniels' brother in detention. Onuoha challenged whether this was an attempt to flex his political muscles and manipulate the situation.
The actress pointed to prominent Nigerian business figures like Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, suggesting Nwoko should learn from their examples in handling personal matters with discretion.
Public Outcry and Fan Reactions
Social media users have overwhelmingly supported Onuoha's stance, with many praising her courage in speaking out. Fan comments reveal widespread concern about the power dynamics in the marriage.
One user @miss_ewurabenagh commented: My question is what is behind that thing said in his interview saying he only marry to a pure girl, there is more to that and all his wife he married them under age. This man is very heartless.
Another supporter, @applegul2, added: That man is diabolical, I'm not sure Regina married him with her clear eyes. Some of this men use juju to manipulate young pure girls into marrying them.
The controversy has reignited discussions about Regina Daniels' age at the time of marriage, with many recalling previous claims that she was only 17 when she married the much older politician.
Broader Implications and Calls for Intervention
Georgina Onuoha emphasized that no health professional can force anyone into treatment against their will, questioning the legality and ethics of Nwoko's proposed rehab plan.
She called the senator's actions beneath his position as a Federal Republic of Nigeria senator and criticized the involvement of police and judiciary in what she described as a personal matter.
The actress appealed to traditional rulers to intervene and call Nwoko to order, emphasizing that no loving husband would publicly condemn his wife and the mother of his children in such manner.
This isn't the first time Onuoha has spoken out about the couple's marital issues. Several weeks earlier, when Regina Daniels expressed frustrations about her marriage, the actress similarly criticized Nwoko publicly.
The ongoing drama continues to capture public attention, highlighting the complex intersection of celebrity culture, politics, and personal relationships in contemporary Nigerian society.
