Human rights activist and political commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has stirred reactions on social media following his controversial remarks about Nollywood actress Regina Daniels amid reports of a crisis in her marriage to billionaire politician Senator Ned Nwoko.
Adeyanju, reacting to circulating reports and videos suggesting marital strife, predicted that the actress would eventually return to her husband “on her knees.”
The comment, which many have described as insensitive and dismissive, has further ignited online debates around domestic issues in high-profile marriages.

The controversy erupted after a video surfaced online showing Regina Daniels emotionally distraught and allegedly confronting security operatives near her residence. In the footage, Regina is heard saying:
“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my house, I am a queen. I cannot stand the violence; it is too much.”

The incident has also triggered reactions within the entertainment industry.
Actress Angela Okorie reportedly mocked Regina Daniels in a social media post, insinuating that her decision to marry an older, wealthy man was driven by material motives.
In response, fellow actress Doris Ogala condemned Okorie’s remarks, calling them “tasteless and irresponsible,” especially in the face of a possibly abusive situation.
