‘What Responsible Husband Publicly Shames the Mother of His Children?’ – Georgina Onuoha Condemns Ned Nwoko’s Statement on Regina Daniels DETAILS…

Nollywood actress Georgina Onuoha has reacted strongly to politician and businessman Senator Ned Nwoko’s public remarks regarding his marriage to actress Regina Daniels.

The controversy follows reports by MoMedia that Regina Daniels allegedly faced domestic violence in her marriage. A viral video showed the actress surrounded by men as her brother intervened to protect her from individuals her husband reportedly sent to confront her.

In a public statement, Nwoko attributed the marital tensions to what he described as Regina’s “battle with drugs and alcohol abuse.” He claimed that his attempts to help her seek professional treatment were repeatedly resisted. The senator also alleged that Regina had recently exhibited violent behaviour at home, including assaulting three domestic staff and damaging property.

Responding to the statement on her Instagram page, Georgina Onuoha criticized Nwoko for publicly portraying his wife as a “drug addict” less than 24 hours after the allegations surfaced. She questioned the motives and responsibility behind such a public disclosure.

“It is deeply distressing to witness the recent videos circulating on social media in which actress Regina Daniels appears to allege domestic violence at the hands of her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. These are grave and painful allegations that have understandably stirred public concern and outrage.

What is even more troubling is that within less than twenty-four hours of these claims emerging, Senator Nwoko publicly released a statement portraying his wife, the mother of his children, as a ‘drug addīct.’ Regardless of the truth behind any of these statements, the decision to respond in such a public, humiliating manner raises serious questions about motive, sensitivity, and the responsibilities of public office.

A husband, especially one of Senator Nwoko’s age, influence, and status, should be a protector, not a public prosecutor of his spouse. His choice to air such allegations, rather than seek appropriate help, counselling, or medical support for his wife, reflects poorly on both judgment and compassion.

Many Nigerians are now asking: Was this response intended to discredit Regina Daniels and undermine her allegations of abuse? Was it a tactic to weaken her credibility and possibly manipulate the public narrative? Unfortunately, this pattern of public shaming, image control, and emotional coercion has become a familiar tool used by powerful men against younger, less-empowered women.

By his own account, Senator Nwoko began courting Regina when she was a teenager and married her at eighteen. The question then arises: how does a young woman who entered your care and household suddenly become, as you allege, an addīct under your supervision? If such behaviour did occur, would that not suggest neglect, emotional distress, or lack of support within the environment she found herself in?

Even if one were to accept the senator’s narrative, what responsible man or husband publicly shames the mother of his children, knowing she is a public figure, and that their children will one day read and see everything said about her? Such an act does not reflect love, care, or leadership; it reflects ego and self-preservation.”
