REGINA DANIELS’ FATHER BREAKS SILENCE: “I WARNED HER, BUT THEY CALLED ME AN ENEMY OF PROGRESS”
The father of Nollywood star Regina Daniels, Jude Ojegwu, has finally spoken out about his long-standing opposition to his daughter’s controversial marriage to billionaire businessman and politician Ned Nwoko. In a recent shocking revelation, Ojegwu expressed his deep disappointment and regret, stating that he had warned Regina about the marriage but was insulted and sidelined.
“I KNEW THIS MARRIAGE WAS BOUND TO HAVE ISSUES”
Ojegwu, who has always maintained a low profile, revealed that he was against the union from the start. According to him, he found it difficult to comprehend how his own daughter, a 20-year-old, could marry a man older than himself.
“Even me, I am in my late 50s, and I can’t marry a 20-year-old girl. I feel very ashamed that I was alive and watched my own daughter marry a 70-year-old man.”
He explained that he tried to reason with Regina, but instead of being heard, he was attacked and labeled an enemy of progress by her mother, Rita Daniels.
“When Regina told me about this marriage, I told her that there’s more to life and marrying a man older than me, her father, isn’t right. But guess what? Her mother called me an enemy of progress and wished me death.”
Faced with rejection and insults, Ojegwu said he had no choice but to step back and let Regina make her own decisions, even though it pained him deeply.
WHY JUDE OJEGWU REFUSED TO ATTEND HIS DAUGHTER’S WEDDING
Ojegwu’s frustration with the marriage ran so deep that he boycotted the wedding entirely, refusing to give his blessing.
“I didn’t even attend her wedding because I was angry.”
For years, he has remained silent, watching from the sidelines as Regina built her life with Ned Nwoko, becoming a mother and enjoying the luxurious lifestyle that came with being married to a billionaire. But now, whispers of trouble in paradise seem to be surfacing, and Ojegwu is not surprised.
“NOW LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING”
Although details remain unclear, speculations about cracks in Regina’s marriage have started making rounds. Ojegwu, who saw this coming, now hopes that his daughter finds peace and happiness despite the challenges ahead.
“And today, the same marriage they called me an enemy of progress for opposing is crumbling. I knew this would happen, but I just hope she finds peace in her matrimonial home.”
FINAL THOUGHTS
Jude Ojegwu’s words have sparked intense debates. Was he right all along? Should Regina have listened to her father instead of following what many saw as a transactional marriage?
One thing is certain—this saga is far from over. As Regina Daniels faces the reality of her marriage, the world is watching to see what happens next.
