Popular Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels has begged Nigerians to stop insulting her mother, Rita Daniels over her marital woes.

However Nwoko denied assaulting his wife and claimed that she was a drug addict.
Some netizens have blamed Regina’s mother for permitting her to marry the lawmaker.
However, addressing the situation in a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress stated that her mother was not to blame for her decision.
According to her, her family members warned her not to marry Nwoko but she refused because she was in love.

She said, “The main essence of this video actually is to please stop insulting my mom.
“Biko, hey, stop it. Stop, hey, Biko, please. Look, for some reason, I actually do feel like I owe you all this explanation.
“You know why? Because I don’t know why everyone is pained about my life. But I don’t feel like you all are pained from a bad side. You’re pained because you used your, was it 200 Naira or 500 Naira to buy my CD just to watch my movie as a child and you all watched me.
“Oh, thank you. Fine, and it’s okay. I’m in the limelight, so it’s fine.

“My mom, huh? Come on now. And you all stop saying I got married out of greed. Excuse me.
“No, we were not broke. Does that make sense? And secondly, how do you guys think? Like, what amount of money can a man give to a mother to get her child that is practically providing everything in the house? That is practically… Through this child, she trained all her children. Like, through this child.
“Like, what? What else? That child was her only source of livelihood. I was a blessing, a gift to my mom. God used me to settle her.
“And it’s my job to make sure she’s forever happy. She has suffered for us. And you keep on insulting her.

“She is. She is. She is.
“She is. She warned me. My brothers warned me.
“Everybody warned me. Nobody’s going to cry on this camera. Everybody warned me.
“And then I drove out at night. I was going to kill myself if I don’t marry Ned. Everyone was looking for me.
“My brothers were fighting, breaking bottles. Like, guys, the Nigerian police… As I was saying, everyone knew. I went to the police station and said, arrest me my family does not want me to marry the love of my life. But I actually did fall in love with him. It’s crazy, but I did.”
