  • Nwoko takes legal action against influencer for defamation, misleading allegations against Regina

    Nwoko takes legal action against influencer for defamation, misleading allegations against Regina

    Sen. Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, says he is taking steps to prosecute a social media influencer, Timothy Gabriel, for defamatory, misleading allegations against him and wife, Regina Daniels.

    This is contained in a statement by the Ned Nwoko Media Directorate and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Abuja on Saturday.

    Nwoko stated that while at it, Gabriel dared him and his wife to respond and openly invited legal action, adding that the challenge had now been accepted.

    He noted that no individual had the right to hurl baseless and vulgar accusations against another citizen and then hide behind social media antics or street protests to evade accountability.

    “We have taken full notice of the vile, reckless, and malicious statements made by one Timothy Gabriel, alias Tuma, and the accompanying attempts to dress lawless behavior in the garb of activism or press freedom.

    “Gabriel not only spewed defamatory lies against Regina Daniels, my wife and accomplished actress but also myself, and he did so repeatedly, with clear intent to provoke, incite, and destroy reputations.

    “There is no democracy anywhere in the world where freedom of speech includes freedom to defame, blackmail, or incite hatred under the guise of online influence.

    “The internet is not above the law. Those who think they can assassinate character and go unpunished are about to face the full weight of Nigeria’s legal system.

    “My legal team also representing Regina-Daniels Nwoko is already taking every step necessary to prosecute Gabriel and his enablers through every legal means available.

    “This includes both criminal defamation and civil suits, for which the evidence is overwhelming.

    “His slanderous comments about paternity, morality, and fictitious personal “evidence” are not only damaging, they are false, dangerous, and criminally prosecutable,” he said.

    The lawmaker added that those amplifying or defending the behaviour of Gabriel under the banner of human rights advocacy should know that freedom of speech does not include the right to lie and destroy.

    “Mr Gabriel and any co-conspirators should prepare to face the law in the most decisive manner. The real trouble has only just begun and it will not be fought on social media, but in court, through the strength of evidence and the rule of law.

    “Let the public be assured; defamation is not activism, and I will ensure that the lines are drawn clearly in the courtroom,” he stressed.

  • Regina Daniels slams Angela Okorie over alleged false statements

    Regina Daniels slams Angela Okorie over alleged false statements

    Actress Regina Daniels has responded to recent claims by her colleague, Angela Okorie, throwing subtle shade while addressing past issues between them.

    Refuting allegations that her husband, Ned Nwoko, had shown interest in being part of Angela’s project, Regina dismissed the claim as “fiction from the pits.”

    She also revisited their early days in Nollywood, accusing Angela of struggling with her lines and wasting over 20 tapes during film shoots.

    Regina further cautioned Angela against allowing pride to cloud her judgment, stating that her own background does not tolerate disrespect, and reminding her to stay grateful to those who supported her rise.

    She wrote: “Kwete o! My mama you no go talk shishi for here. No one deserves that explanation. Leave her for me. Now I will answer as the disrespectful child you branded me. But deep down, you know you do not have the privilege to call me a child but rather ‘sis’.

    “Now Let’s drop the maturity cloak I hide behind. Werey I thought you were good at typing and speaking loud like you own a megaphone. Mind you, I haven’t dropped any tangible receipt or moved beyond my keypad except the ones your chochocho mouth has produced. But thanks for revealing that my ancestor blocked you. May we not do anything to offend our ancestors. They move faster than karma.”

    Reacting to the claims that her husband once wanted to feature someone in a movie, she said: “Now to the biggest lie you dropped like it was gospel. That my husband wanted me in your project? C’mon girl even you know that’s fiction from the pits. Or you meant begging for support for your project?”

    “Remember your first ever movie role? Was with me and my mama Mercy Johnson where the whole jealousy began because you couldn’t take your lines and wasted over 20 tapes… Even then, the gap was obvious.

    “Also, if you spoil for my eye, you don spoil for my ancestors too… It’s not by age, it’s by spirit and my lineage doesn’t play with disrespect. Don’t let pride blind you to the people who carried you.”

    “Not just vows whispered in candlelit air, But a fortress built on love laid bare. No staged perfection, no hollow display, Just two hearts that chose to stay. This morning, feeling bold, and true, I sent you a message, out of the blue: “Will you marry me?” a reckless play, Your laughter spilled like golden rays.

    “Hahahahaha! Always! The biggest YES!” Oh, my queen, you love me so truly
    Should I gather the elders, pay the price? For you, I’d do it all anew! Love Unshaken, Unbreakable. They whisper of love in measured tones, As if hearts are caged, made of stone. But ours, Regina, is fierce and wild, A dance of fire, Gods’ own child.

    “Some claim faith but live in disguise, Preaching devotion with wandering eyes.
    Yet here we stand, bare and true, No lies to hide, no games to rue.

    “A good man, monogamous or not, brings peace to the home, keeps it hot. Better to love with honesty bold, Than sell a dream wrapped in fool’s gold”.
