Nollywood actress and singer Angela Okorie has spoken out against domestic violence, issuing a strongly worded message that no man has the right to hit a woman—regardless of status, wealth, or marital arrangement.

The statement, shared via her social media handle, comes amid unconfirmed reports surrounding fellow actress Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko.

Though Angela did not directly name anyone, her comments have been widely interpreted as a reaction to an alleged video circulating online, in which Regina appears distressed and accuses her husband of abuse.

“No man has the right to beat a woman. Even if you own a private jet, or have eight wives. Ojukokoro is a disease,” Angela stated.

The term ojukokoro, meaning “greed” in Yoruba, adds a sharp cultural critique to her statement, suggesting that materialism or the pursuit of status should never justify staying in abusive situations.

Background to the Allegations

Speculation began after a video clip emerged online, allegedly showing Regina Daniels in tears, speaking about enduring domestic violence.

While the footage has not been verified, it has sparked widespread concern and debate, particularly due to Regina’s high-profile marriage to Nwoko in 2019, when she was just 19.

Neither Regina Daniels nor Ned Nwoko has publicly addressed the video or the allegations at the time of this report.

Past Tensions Resurface

Angela Okorie and Regina Daniels have had public disagreements in the past.

In a 2023 social media exchange, Okorie criticized Daniels’ marriage to a significantly older man, suggesting the relationship was driven by material gain. Daniels, in turn, accused Angela of bitterness and envy.

Angela’s latest remarks appear to revive those tensions but also extend beyond personal differences, touching on broader societal issues such as gender-based violence and the role of wealth in silencing victims.

Public Reaction

Angela’s post has garnered significant attention online, with many Nigerians praising her for taking a stand. Human rights advocates and gender equality groups have also shared her message, calling for a more serious public conversation about domestic abuse in celebrity and political circles.

Some commentators, however, have cautioned against drawing conclusions without verified evidence regarding the alleged incident involving Regina Daniels.

As public interest in the situation grows, pressure is mounting on both Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko to address the circulating claims.

Meanwhile, Angela Okorie’s bold stance adds a new dimension to the ongoing discourse around domestic violence and the unique challenges faced by women in high-profile marriages.

The issue highlights once again the intersection of fame, power, and the often-silenced realities of abuse in Nigerian society.
