Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has launched a scathing attack on the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, following his public statement suggesting she requires professional help amid her ongoing marital issues with husband Ned Nwoko.
The Controversial Statement
The conflict erupted on November 20, 2025, when Emeka Rollas released an official statement via social media addressing the marital crisis between Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko. In his statement, Rollas asserted that he and other senior colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry were aware that Regina "needs help" - echoing claims made by Nwoko that the actress had been allegedly abusing drugs for some time.
The AGN president's intervention came as the latest development in the ongoing public dispute between the celebrity couple, drawing significant attention from fans and industry observers alike.
Regina's Explosive Response
Regina Daniels did not remain silent in the face of these allegations. The actress took to her own social media platforms to deliver a fiery response that directly challenged Rollas's credibility and motives.
In her counter-statement, Regina suggested that Rollas's criticism stemmed from personal bitterness. She made the startling claim that the AGN president's animosity began when she prevented him from bringing women to her home under the guise of swimming lessons.
The actress went even further in her accusations, characterizing Rollas's leadership style in unflattering terms. According to Regina, the AGN president's primary achievement in his role has been "visiting the homes of high profile men with women" - a direct challenge to his professional integrity and moral standing within the industry.
Broader Implications for Nollywood
This public confrontation between a prominent actress and the head of Nigeria's main acting guild highlights several important issues within the Nollywood community. The exchange raises questions about:
- The appropriate role of industry leadership in personal member disputes
- Professional boundaries between organizational heads and their members
- The handling of sensitive personal matters within the public sphere
The timing of this conflict is particularly significant given the ongoing discussions about mental health support and professional conduct within the Nigerian entertainment industry. Both parties' statements have sparked conversations about how such matters should be addressed within professional organizations.
As the situation continues to develop, industry watchers are monitoring whether this public dispute will lead to formal proceedings within the Actors Guild of Nigeria or if mediation efforts will be attempted to resolve the conflict privately.
