LAGOS, NIGERIA — Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has fueled widespread speculation about the state of her marriage to politician and businessman Ned Nwoko after announcing the purchase of her own mansion.
The move comes amid a public scandal that began when Daniels posted a tearful video online, alleging domestic violence by Nwoko, claims the latter has publicly denied, countering with accusations of drug and alcohol abuse against the actress.
Days after the heated public exchange, Daniels shared images of her new luxury home on Instagram, captioned: “In my house I am a Queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
While the post did not explicitly confirm a separation or divorce, many social media commentators and news outlets have interpreted the independent home purchase during the crisis as a powerful statement of autonomy and independence.
The legal status of the union remains complex, as Daniels reportedly claimed in subsequent statements that the marriage was a traditional union only, lacking formal court registration.
The acquisition of her own property is widely seen as a symbolic breakaway, positioning the actress to establish life outside the highly scrutinized marriage, regardless of future legal outcomes.
