My mother held me down for seven years – Regina Daniels opens up

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has claimed that her mother held her down in Senator Ned Nwoko’s house for seven years.

Daniels made the remark in a lengthy video she shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday morning.

Contrary to insinuation that she was forced into marriage at her early age, the actress said her family including her mother kicked against her marriage with Ned.

The actress, who recently accused her husband of domestic violence, said she regretted falling in love with the 64-year-old lawmaker.

She begged Nigerians to stop raining insults on her mother, dismissing rumours that she married Ned out of greed.

She said, “For seven years my mum held me down. She tried but I’m the one that has a coconut head.

“I’m ashamed to say I fell in love but I actually did and it’s crazy. Everyone said no. You all should stop saying that I married out of greed. We were no broke.

“What amount of money can a man give to a mother to get her child that is practically providing everything in the house? I was her only source of lively-hood.

“My mother, my brother and everybody warned me. I drove out at night one day trying kill myself if I don’t marry Ned”.
