A lot has been rumored and said
about Regina Daniels, a 19 years old Nollywood actress since her intentions to
marry a 59 years old billionaire Ned Nwoko was made public until their alleged
marriage. So many things have been going on in my mind since it became clear
that she has made up her mind to marry a man forty years older. What does she
really want? If she were an older lady the gossip would have been that age is
no longer on her side and that is why she chose to become a sixth wife to a 59
years old man; people will like: eyaah! She has no choice than be the sixth wife – only a few people will think otherwise. In Regina Daniel’s case,
all rumors point to her desire for wealth and material things – human desires
really differ; and I can say that some of those desires are really complicated
and unbelievable.
On second thought, some
people are selfish, beasts without conscience, shameless, and what you can
think of. I keep wondering why a 59 years old man will have the heart to waste
the life of a teenager by going ahead to marry her as a sixth wife just because
he can offer her all that she craves for. Regina Daniels is well exposed to
know what is right and wrong, yes. At her age, I don’t even know half of what
she knows now because of her exposure. But Ned Nwoko knows better what damage
he is doing to Regina Daniels, yet, he is bent on satisfying his selfish
desires.
Whatever her reason is, it is
no one’s business because she is already in and enjoying the moments, in her
right mind or not. What should really be our business is to fight immorality,
corruption, and evil laws in Nigeria that enslave us instead of enriching us. I
love this post from a local source by Georgina Onuoha about Regina Daniels and
her choice in marriage.
“No one has made you nor I a
judge over her or her decisions even though my name is Georgina and not Regina.
The last time I checked, I did not go to a law school neither was I appointed a
judge. It’s her life, her business and
her propagative.
When those before her are busy
flaunting private jet and fake plastic ass, most of you did not cry wolf.
She has made her choice with
the endorsement of her mother behind her to be a teen bride or adult bride, so
let her be.
Most of her senior colleagues
are busy sleeping with old politicians, pastors , fly to Dubai to sleep with
old wrinkled Arabic men and married men and you all go hail them as slay
queens. You endorse bad behavior as hard work.
Islam permits more wives and
she has made her choice. While I don’t and will never endorse teen marriage as
a parent and mother, I wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors.
In my days, some followed yahoo
and 419 boys for extra stretch limousines, where are they today? Some teen
brides have gone on to make something out of themselves by pursuing academics.
What is morally corrupt is the
Nigerian society that celebrates immorality and goes agog with it with
impunity. So please, don’t DM me or tag
me on such nonsense. Her life and choice.
I don’t pay her bills and will
encourage her to equally pursue education regardless. So please people address
the problems facing our nation and let Regina deal with her private life”.
If you dm me again I will block
you. I am neither her mother nor judge. Let her Be. Let’s encourage education,
empowerment of our youths. Books not
boobs, Pens and not penis for young girls and boys. So before you tear her
down, go tear down all the slay queens you hail and criminal politicians you
revere and shameless pastors you worship. Regina is not your problem. Your
corrupt politicians are your problems.
