The Actors Guild of Nigeria President, Emeka Rollas, has berated his colleagues for their silence over the marital crisis between Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
Naijaonpoint reports that in a statement on Instagram on Thursday, Rollas said many colleagues in the industry are aware of Regina Daniels’ health status but have chosen to speak ill of her behind her back.
He recounted an incident in which senior colleagues like Okey Bakassi, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, and others witnessed Regina’s attitude on a movie set and knew that she indeed needed help.
The AGN president also recalled how Nwoko publicly drew his attention to Regina Daniels‘ health concerns during their son’s birthday party sometime ago.
He also berated Regina Daniel’s mum, Rita, for pursuing her ambition to become the AGN President, given that her daughter’s home and health are of great concern.
While dismissing claims that Ned Nwoko has been funding the AGN, Emeka Rollas frowned at the lawmaker for bringing Regina’s health concerns to the public space.
The statement reads, “My dear colleagues in the entertainment industry, stakeholders, and fellow Nigerians. As I prepare to leave office, I believe it is important to address the many allegations, misconceptions, and unnecessary accusations that have been circulating. I owe it to myself, to the Guild, and to the public to speak the truth clearly and responsibly.
1. *On Prince Ned Nwoko & Regina Daniels* Let me begin with the matter many have been tagging me to respond to. Prince Ned Nwoko is the *Chairman, Board of Patrons, AGN*, and Regina Daniels is a *member of the Guild*. Regina and her mother are also personally known to me, and because this is fundamentally a family issue, I have been deliberately silen,t not out of fear, but out of respect. However, as the President of AGN, and since my name is constantly being dragged, I must state my truth.
2. *Silence of the Industry & the Board of Trustees* For years, the *Board of Trustees* has allowed me to stand at the frontline of battles, while they protect their reputations from behind. Many senior colleagues know the truth surrounding recent events, yet they have remained silent. I am calling on those who were present at the last series shoot and fully aware of what is happening *Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, Sanni Danji* you were all on set during the last production in question. You saw things firsthand, especially regarding Regina and we all know she needs help. Your silence is unfair, and it leaves me exposed to attacks for matters I did not create.
3. *The South Africa Roundtable and the Condition Given* While we were planning our roundtable meeting in South Africa, Senator Nwoko called me personally and gave a condition *that he would only allow Regina to travel if I promised she doesn’t travel through Lagos. This is a fact, and I state it because it has been twisted against me repeatedly.
4. *What Happened on Her Son’s Birthday* On the day of your son’s birthday, Regina by the staircase of a popular kids playground in wuse 2 and in the presence of your friends and also a few AGN members Agility, Nazareth Jesse, and some of my SSA, your husband made a statement to you regarding your smoking habit when you introduced a senator daughter who had female kids to him In his words *if you stop smoking you’ll have your own daughter* He expressed concern and said publicly that he has involved your family and is now saying it in front of your father in the industry since you refused to stop. This incident was witnessed, it is not hearsay.
My concern here is not to shame you, NO, My concern is that *you need help*, Many of our members have gotten help before you which the Guild was instrumental to. It is not a crime to seek support. I hate it when mature individuals in the Industry call me from behind, say trash about but won’t be man enough to confront you with the reality.
5. *To Your Mother… Rita Daniel* I say this respectfully, If your daughter’s home and health is in distress, AGN elections should not be your priority. Our Guild must be a safe place, and when people in leadership positions openly justify harmful habits as “a celebrity lifestyle,” it puts our younger members at risk.
All those people cheering you up to go become AGN President are your enemies. And all those celebs who know this truth but chose to heap blames on Emeka Rollas are worse enemies of our Guild.
6. *To Our Chairman Board of Patrons, Prince Ned Nwoko* Sir, you are not without blame. It is not good for a man of your status to go on social media and publicly call out your wife in something I still believe can be handled internally. I still believe there are better ways to do it. Also, sir, several false narratives about the Guild spread without correction.”
Regina and her mother have repeatedly claimed that you funded AGN, rented and furnished the office, and donated ₦200 million to the Guild. At our office launch, you said the ₦200 million was for your wife not for *AGN* The misinformation circulating everywhere are part of the burden I m carrying, trying to explain N200 million. You should have let people know it’s money you gave to your wife for her film production and not to the Guild
This is my truth. I am speaking now because people keep dragging my name, and the silence of stakeholders is also not helping matters
If people choose to remain quiet because of the benefits they hope to receive, then I choose to clear my name, as I owe myself that dignity.
