Tension appears to be brewing once again in the Nwoko household as Laila Charani, wife of Senator Ned Nwoko, has publicly called out her co-wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, over claims that she (Regina) gave her money.
In a strongly worded statement shared on social media, Laila denied ever receiving money from Regina Daniels and accused the actress of spreading falsehoods.
“How dare you say that you ever gave me money — for what exactly?” she wrote. “I am very contented with the provisions my husband makes for our family. We should show Nigerians our bank accounts to see who is paying money to our accounts.”
Laila further alleged that Regina’s ongoing issues with their husband stem from his disapproval of her alleged lifestyle choices, including alcohol and drug use.
“You also know that my husband completely hates alcohol, drugs, and smoking. He has always been clear that he would never accept any wife who drinks, smokes, or uses drugs. The only reason you are fighting my husband is because he wants you to stop your drug and alcohol addiction,” she stated.
According to Laila, her husband’s intervention saved her from substance abuse six years ago, after she was allegedly introduced to drugs.
“I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs six years ago, and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path,” she claimed.
Laila also accused Regina of being a negative influence in the household, alleging that she provided drugs to domestic staff and even her younger sister, Destiny.
“You have been a bad influence since you married into this family, giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny,” she added. “This is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised.”
She concluded her post by advising Regina to seek help and continue her rehabilitation privately.
“Please go and sort yourself out. Seek help immediately and continue with your rehabilitation, and leave the other wives out of this,” she said. “I say this not out of anger, but from a place of truth and concern for the level of lies that you are peddling.”
