A new viral video has set social media ablaze as Rita Daniels, the mother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, unleashed a barrage of accusations and curses against her daughter’s estranged husband, billionaire politician and businessman Ned Nwoko.
This followed the alleged arrest and lockup of her two sons by Nwoko.
In the emotional video, Rita Daniels accused Nwoko of betrayal and arrogance, warning him that his downfall was imminent. Speaking passionately, she declared:
“You wanted a crown. You wanted someone with a high star so they could lift you up — to boost your own falling star. I accepted it and covered for you. But now, things have changed. The same way you rose, you will fall — if you think you can bite the hand that fed you. You’ll go down.”
Rita, who appeared visibly agitated, further accused the Delta-born politician of hypocrisy and ingratitude despite the support she and her family allegedly gave him during his political campaigns.
> “People keep talking about money. Which money? What money? They only say that because they’re covering for you, trying to make you feel important — to make you feel ‘funky.’ When you were running for election, how much did Zina give you? Fifty thousand dollars. Yes, $50,000. That small girl went out of her way to help and support your campaign — she had no choice,” she claimed.
According to her, the family invested heavily in Nwoko’s political ambitions, yet he has turned against them. “I supported you with everything I had — all my resources went into your election. And now you act like you’re above everyone? People call others ‘gold diggers,’ but those same people were the ones covering your shame,” she added.
Rita Daniels also appeared to mock Nwoko’s supposed neglect of his family, making a veiled reference to the condition of his children. “Go and look at the local students — don’t they look better than your own? Have you forgotten what we all saw?” she said.
The outburst has fueled widespread speculation about a deepening rift between the Nwoko and Daniels families, following recent reports of tension between Regina Daniels and her husband.
As of press time, Ned Nwoko has not publicly responded to the allegations or the viral video.
