Billionaire businessman and politician Ned Nwoko has stirred widespread reactions online after admitting that his marriage to Nollywood star Regina Daniels was not driven by love but by pressure from his family.
In a resurfaced interview making rounds on social media, Nwoko disclosed that his kinsmen urged him to marry a woman from his hometown and Regina fit that description perfectly.
“I married her because she’s from my place, and there was pressure from my people. It wasn’t about love,” he stated.
Nwoko went on to reveal that he does not believe in dating before marriage, adding that he and Regina tied the knot just three weeks after they met.
His revelation has reignited debates about their marriage, especially amid ongoing reports of marital issues and alleged abuse claims, which Nwoko has firmly denied.
While many fans expressed shock, saying they had always believed the couple shared genuine love, others remarked that the confession sheds light on the dynamics of their relationship.
One social media user commented, “So it wasn’t love? Regina really tried. Pressure marriages rarely last now it all makes sense.”
Another added, “These two always find a way to stay in the headlines.”
Regardless of context, Nwoko’s statement has once again placed his marriage to Regina Daniels under public scrutiny, keeping Nigerians buzzing with reactions.
