I want Regina alive, healthy to raise our kids, Ned Nwoko speaks on wife’s drug addiction

Published

on

The senator representing Delta north, Ned Nwoko, has insisted that his wife, actress Regina Daniels must undergo rehabilitation to address drug abuse and safeguard her well-being.

Nwoko, while speaking with newsmen on Sunday, said the decision was necessary for the 25-year-old actress to be in the right state of mind to raise their two children.

The lawmaker said his stance followed a series of “alarming” toxicology reports indicating “high levels of harmful substances in Daniels’ system”.

According to Nwoko, his wife’s calm personality had changed in recent months, as she began exhibiting “violent and destructive behaviour” alongside recurring health crises.

“I want her alive and healthy, not just for me, but for our children,” he said.

“We have two young kids together, and they cannot fight for themselves, so I’m going to fight for them by safeguarding their mother.

“Many people have died of drug overdose, and if anything happens to her now, what will I tell her children tomorrow?

“I have lived with this problem for eight months, and on three occasions, I had to carry her to Nizamiye Hospital unconscious from a drug overdose — you can go verify it.”

Nwoko said he wanted Daniels to raise their children in “a sane and healthy environment”, adding that rehabilitation would prevent her from accessing drugs while she completes her treatment.

The senator also presented toxicology results of the actress, insisting that anyone discouraging her from seeking proper medical care was “her real enemy and that of her children”.

He said the reports showed several substances with toxic levels, dismissing recent statements by Regina’s mother and siblings on the drug abuse allegations as “baseless distractions”.

“That is why I am saying that everybody has to calm down and join hands to save her,” he said.

“But she and her mother are living in denial. If they really want to prove me wrong, let them arrange for her to visit any toxicologist of their choice — I will pay.”

Nwoko also alleged that Daniels’ close friends and siblings, particularly her brother Sammy influenced her and enabled her access to drugs.

“Her close relations and friends that I trusted around her are the ones exploiting her resources to supply her with drugs, leaving her addicted,” he said.

“Imagine the pain of a husband trying to help his wife recover from an addiction, only to have the process sabotaged by her siblings and friends. Each time progress was made, they would undo it by smuggling in the same drugs she was fighting to give up.”

The senator criticised a recent social media post by Daniels’ mother Rita, alleging that his son died from a drug overdose in the United Kingdom, describing the claim as “an inhuman attack on the dead”.

He said autopsy results did not show drug-related complications as the cause of death.

The couple’s marital crisis has been in the media for the wrong reasons since October, when a viral video showed Daniels in tears, accusing Nwoko of domestic violence.

The senator responded by alleging his wife was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

Earlier on Sunday, Regina Daniels admitted to using hard drugs but accused Nwoko of orchestrating her addiction as part of a pattern of control and manipulation.

She also alleged that the lawmaker is in possession of her private sex tape.

Aisha Achimugu: From Business Powerhouse to Paris Style Icon

Published

By

Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.

Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.

Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.

The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.

For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.

Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.

In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.

And as the lights of Paris dimmed on another fashionable season, her appearance left behind the unmistakable impression of a woman who understands that fashion, at its most powerful, is as much about presence as it is about clothes.

How I manage Davido’s finances, spending habits — Sharon Adeleke

Sharon Ademefun Adeleke, the elder sister of Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has revealed how she manages her brother’s finances and her unconventional approach to marriage.

Sharon disclosed this while appearing on the Morayo Show, adding that she regularly discusses Davido’s finances with him, particularly his spending on cars and jewellery.

“One of the major things I’m always getting on my brother is jewellery and cars. My God!” she said.

“Me and him will sit down. We will have a finance meeting every week because I think it is important for him to know how his money is being spent.

“And I will now say, ‘David, please, no more cars, no more jewellery.’ Twenty-four hours later, you will start seeing it on the blogs that he bought another car.”

Sharon, a mother of three, also spoke about her marriage, saying she made it clear to her husband from the outset that she did not intend to follow a traditional approach.

“When I met my husband, I explained to him that there isn’t going to be a traditional kind of marriage,” she said.

“I remember, I think in the first few months of us dating, I cooked and all the things. When he was eating, I was like, ‘Oh babe, are you enjoying the food?’ He said yes.

“And I said, ‘Good. Now you know I know how to cook, but I don’t like cooking, and I hope that’s not going to be a problem.”

The entrepreneur revealed how she built her wig-making business. She said she learnt to make wigs out of frustration with the difficulty of securing skilled hairstylists and wig makers, who were often fully booked.

“I learnt how to make wigs because I was frustrated because really good hairstylists and wig makers are always busy. Even if you drop your things with them, every week they will still be busy,” she said.

“So, one day I said, ‘What is this wig making? Let me just try.’ At that time, there was maybe one video or two compared to now, when if you go on YouTube, you can find thousands of videos about wig making.

“I was heavily pregnant and very bored, so my husband took me to the beauty shop, and I bought all the pieces. I just started trying, and then I started doing it more and more. Then my friends started asking me to make wigs for them.”

Sharon said she believes people sometimes discover their businesses unexpectedly rather than through careful planning.

“I’m a big believer that when God gives you a business, you kind of fall into it sometimes. It is not something that you planned,’ she said.

“When I started going into it, I started going for training all over the world.”
