Popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has allegedly moved out of her billionaire husband Ned Nwoko’s mansion after breaking down in tears and revealing that she “can’t stand the violence anymore.”
A viral video circulating on social media Saturday shows the visibly emotional actress saying:
“In Ned Nwoko’s house I am nothing, but in my house I am a queen. Not again, I can’t stand the violence — it’s too much.”
The heartbreaking clip has since dominated online conversations, drawing nationwide concern about her safety and sparking renewed debates on domestic abuse in celebrity marriages.
How Their Love Story Began
Regina Daniels, one of Nollywood’s youngest stars, married businessman and politician Prince Ned Nwoko in 2019. The union stirred public controversy due to their large age gap and Nwoko’s polygamous status.
Despite initial backlash, the couple appeared to enjoy a blissful marriage — often posting luxurious vacation photos, attending events together, and celebrating their children: Munir (born 2020) and Khalifa (born 2022).
Trouble, however, reportedly began early this year when Regina quietly deleted her husband’s photos and removed his surname from her Instagram bio, hinting at tension behind the scenes.
The Viral Video and Brother’s Outburst
The recent video showing Regina crying uncontrollably has thrown social media into chaos. In the footage, she’s comforted by relatives as heated voices echo in the background.
Her brother, Sammy West, has publicly accused Senator Ned Nwoko of assaulting the actress, alleging that he “beat her again” and “smashed her head on the wall.”
“Senator Ned Nwoko, you get luck say after you beat my sister again, you ran away and even sent thugs!” — Sammy West
As of press time, neither Regina nor Nwoko has released an official statement. However, unconfirmed reports suggest that Regina has moved out of her husband’s Asaba residence with her children.
Public Reactions
Fans and celebrities have flooded social media with mixed reactions. While many are urging Regina to “choose peace and safety,” others are calling for restraint until both parties speak publicly.
Women’s rights advocates have also weighed in, stressing the importance of addressing domestic violence regardless of fame, power, or social status.
Why This Story Matters
The alleged breakdown of Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko’s marriage highlights the painful reality that money and luxury do not guarantee happiness.
It also sheds light on the growing cases of gender-based violence in high-profile relationships, and the need for women — no matter how famous — to speak up when abused.
