Senator Ned Nwoko, 67, shook the public with a bombshell revelation, he released an official INEC voter’s card showing Regina Daniels’ birth year as 1998, directly contradicting claims that she married him as a minor at 17.
According to the card, the actress was actually 21 during their 2019 wedding in Nigeria.
This revelation has thrown fans into heated debates, sparking a firestorm on social media.
The Birthdate Battle: Who is the Real Regina?
Regina Daniels, who vehemently claims she was just 17 when she married Nwoko, has presented her passport as evidence of a 2001 birth year.
The conflicting documentation has cast a shadow of doubt over one of Nollywood’s most talked-about relationships.
The actress has accused Senator Nwoko of abuse and introducing her to drugs.
Allegations the senator dismisses as fabrications stemming from her substance misuse.
The public is left grappling with conflicting narratives, official documents on one side, and emotional testimonies on the other.
Nwoko’s release of Regina’s voter’s card is not just a legal document dump.
It’s a calculated move to control the narrative and deny the widespread belief that their union was inappropriate or illegal.
By putting forth her age as over 18, he aims to shut down critics who accuse him of exploiting a minor.
Yet, the storm continues to rage, with many questioning the authenticity of the documents and the nature of their relationship.
A Marriage Marked by Power, Control, and Allegations
The 46-year age gap between the couple has been the source of endless scrutiny and backlash.
Many Nigerians see their marriage not as a romantic union but as a glaring symbol of societal imbalances, youth exploited by wealth and power.
Senator Ned Nwoko has stood firm, insisting he married Regina with respect and according to traditional customs, alleging that her mother even brought her to him.
On the other side, Regina’s brave accusations of domestic violence, mental anguish.
And substance issues have elicited sympathy from supporters and social commentators alike.
Sources claim the conflict has escalated to family arrests and public feuds, though no legal proceedings have so far emerged.
The highly publicized clash has spilled over into social media platforms where fans, celebrities, and critics debate fiercely over who is telling the truth.
The Social Media Storm and Public Opinion
More than just a celebrity feud, this has become a national conversation about age, consent, power dynamics, and celebrity culture in Nigeria.
An anonymous social media user summed it up best: “Whether 17 or 21, the real issue is the outrageous age gap and the imbalance of power.
This is not just marriage; it’s a case study in exploitation.”
The Political Undertone: A Smokescreen or Genuine Personal Saga?
For Senator Nwoko, this public controversy isn’t just about his marriage.
He claims it’s a politically motivated smear campaign designed to tarnish his reputation and hinder his work as a senator for Delta North.
Both parties have used communication teams and social media to shape the narrative, but the truth remains murky.
Some analysts suggest the feud is part genuine personal conflict, part strategic media manipulation in Nigeria’s fraught political landscape.
What’s Next? A Story Unfolding
As both Senator Ned Nwoko and Daniels dig in their heels, the public is caught in a whirlwind of allegations, denials, and accusations.
The media frenzy shows no signs of abating.
With many waiting on the sidelines for more revelations or legal action, which so far has not happened.
Nigerians ask: how long will this saga drag on? Will new evidence emerge?
Or will it become just another controversy quickly buried under Nigeria’s relentless cycle of scandal and social media outrage?
