“She Said I Am Not Her Father” — Ned Nwoko Speaks on Regina Daniels’ Relentless Work Ethic

Nigerian senator and billionaire businessman, Ned Nwoko, has once again opened up about life with his actress wife, Regina Daniels, revealing a striking exchange between them that left him both amused and concerned.

Speaking in a recent interview, Nwoko explained that despite his constant plea for Regina to slow down and take time to rest, she has remained stubbornly committed to her career, projects, and political duties.

According to him, Regina brushed off his fatherly concern with a blunt but playful retort: “I am not your daughter, I am your wife.”

“She told me I am not her father,” Nwoko recounted with a laugh, before admitting that he often worries about how much his young wife takes on. “She is everywhere, always working, always busy. I tell her to rest, to slow down, but she won’t listen.”

The senator, who married Regina Daniels in 2019, praised her resilience and dedication, acknowledging that her drive has made her not only one of Nollywood’s most prominent figures but also an influential personality in politics, where she currently serves as a senator’s wife and women’s advocate.

Fans online, however, have reacted with mixed emotions. Some applauded Regina for maintaining her independence and refusing to be confined by the expectations of marriage, while others argued that her husband’s concerns are valid, stressing the importance of balance between work, family, and health.

On social media, the exchange quickly went viral, with many netizens latching onto the quote “I am not your daughter” as both a clapback and a powerful statement about the dynamics of modern relationships. Memes and commentaries flooded X and Instagram, with the debate stretching from Nollywood circles to everyday conversations about marriage and individuality.

While Regina Daniels herself has yet to directly respond to the viral buzz, one thing remains clear: her refusal to slow down has only strengthened her reputation as one of Nigeria’s hardest-working young stars, even as her husband continues to remind her that sometimes, love also means knowing when to rest.
