Regina Daniels has pleaded with the public to stop insulting her mother Rita Daniels in the wake of her escalating marital dispute with her husband Ned Nwoko.
The appeal was posted in an emotional Instagram video on
Wednesday, where Daniels defended her mother as “the best thing that has ever
happened to me” and her “God on earth”.
The public conflict began when a tearful clip of Regina
accusing Nwoko of domestic violence went viral in October.
In response, Nwoko alleged that the actress was struggling
with drug and alcohol abuse.
The situation intensified this week when Regina accused
Nwoko of orchestrating the arrest of her brothers while Rita posted a video
accusing the senator of ingratitude.
Rita detailed the family’s sacrifices for Nwoko’s political
career, claiming that Regina personally gave him $50,000 for his electoral
campaign.
She also dismissed public narratives that labelled her
daughter a “gold digger,” arguing that it was Regina who boosted Nwoko’s public
profile.
In her own emotional statement, Regina revealed the personal
turmoil she experienced to marry Nwoko, stating she “almost committed suicide”
when her family initially declined the union.
The award-winning actress explicitly stated that she did not
marry out of greed, but for love.
“The main essence of this video is to stop insulting my mum,
please. For some reason, I feel like I owe you this explanation because I do
not know why everyone is pained about my life. Not that you are pained from a
bad side, but you are pained because you used your N200 to buy my CD to watch
me as a child. It is okay. I am in the limelight,” she said.
“My mum is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She
is my God on earth. She is strong. For seven years, she held it down. You all
insulted her. I am the one with this coconut head. I am so ashamed to say I
fell in love. But I really did. Everyone said no.
“Stop saying I got married out of greed. We were not broke.
“She has suffered for us. She is the best woman on earth.
She warned me. My brother warned me. Everybody warned me.”
Despite the acrimony, Regina expressed that she still holds
feelings for her husband, saying, “I still care and respect him. That is love”.
“I still care and respect him. That is love. The only reason
I am not fighting you is that I want my children’s surname to be strong. They
can answer mine,” she added.
“I will fight for my children, Ned. I will train them with
or without your support, and you know that my ex-husband. It looks like I am
acting. But this is me. Why is everyone moving on?”
