I Didn’t Force Regina Daniels To Marry Ned Nwoko – Mother

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, has said that she never sold her daughter into marriage. Rita’s old interview recently surfaced amid Regina’s marital crisis, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, she didn’t even know that her daughter and Ned were discussing marriage, and when she confronted Regina about it, she appeared very determined to be his wife.

Rita stated that she was stunned by her daughter’s determination at the time because she and Ned Nwoko were political opponents.

“When Regina got married, and the world was saying I was the one who forced her to marry a much older man.

They said I carried her and sold her to an elderly man.

What they did not know is that even I did not know when they started the relationship. With everything that was going on, I was the last person to know they were in a relationship.

And as my daughter, I called her and asked what was going on, and she answered me, ‘Have I ever introduced you to anyone as the person I want to get married to aside from Ned Nwoko?’

My daughter, who never used to throw back words at me, started throwing back words. I noticed she was beginning to get stubborn about it, and then I was like, ‘What is actually going on?’

In the political terrain, the husband and I are opponents,” she said.

She further noted that Nwoko only approached her about marriage after his election campaign.

Rita concluded she had to support her daughter’s decision in the end because her mind was already made up.

“Immediately after the election, it was then that her husband told me he was interested in marrying my child.

I was weak, but what was I to do? I stood with my daughter, was I to chase her away?

So when I saw everything, I advised as much as I could as a mother.

That they are talking all sorts of trash about Regina, the most important thing is that she is happy where she is, and I have not had the energy to address anyone regarding anything,” she added.
