My Concern Isn't To Shame Her, But Rather That She Needs Help - AGN President, Emeka Rollas Speaks About Regina Daniels
Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, has broken his silence on the ongoing marital crisis between Senator Ned Nwoko, and his actress wife, Regina Daniels.
In a lengthy statement on his Instagram page, Emeka Rollas slammed his colleagues in the movie industry for refusing to comment on Regina Daniels behaviour.
According to him, there was an incident with the actress in which his colleagues such as Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Winflred, Jide Kosoko, and Sanni Danji, were present, and were witnesses of the actress' erratic behaviour, stressing that their continued silence is not helping matters.
Explaining further, he cited how Ned Nwoko had made a comment about Regina's habitual smoking, during the birthday of one of her child, noting how Ned stated that she should quit the act in order to be able to birth a female child
Emphasizing the reason for his revelation, he revealed that it was not borne out of a desire to wash her dirty linen in the public, but rather out of a place of sincere concern in order for her to receive the help she needs.
He wrote: “OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND THE NIGERIAN PUBLIC*
My dear colleagues in the entertainment industry, stakeholders, and fellow Nigerians,
As I prepare to leave office, I believe it is important to address the many allegations, misconceptions, and unnecessary accusations that have been circulating. I owe it to myself, to the Guild, and to the public to speak the truth clearly and responsibly.
1. On Prince Ned Nwoko & Regina Daniels Let me begin with the matter many have been tagging me to respond to.
Prince Ned Nwoko is the Chairman, Board of Patrons, AGN, and Regina Daniels is a member of the Guild. Regina and her mother are also personally known to me. Because this is fundamentally a family issue, I have been deliberately silent, not out of fear, but out of respect.
However, as the President of AGN, and since my name is constantly being dragged, I must state my truth.
2. Silence of the Industry & the Board of Trustees For years, the Board of Trustees has allowed me to stand at the frontline of battles, while they protect their reputations from behind. Many senior colleagues know the truth surrounding recent events, yet they have remained silent.
I am calling on those who were present at the last series shoot and fully aware of what happened: Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, Sanni Danji. You were all on set during the last production in question. You saw things firsthand, especially regarding Regina, and we all know she needs help. Your silence is unfair, and it leaves me exposed to attacks for matters I did not create.
3. The South Africa Roundtable and the Condition Given
4. What Happened on Her Son’s Birthday On the day of your son’s birthday, Regina by the staircase of a popular kids playground in wuse 2 and in the presence of your friends and also a few AGN members Agility, Nazareth Jesse, and some of my SSA, your husband made a statement to you regarding your smoking habit when you introduced a senator daughter who had female kids to him In his words if you stop smoking you’ll have your own daughter He expressed concern. He said publicly that he had involved your family and is now saying it in front of your father in the industry, as you refused to stop.
This incident was witnessed; it is not hearsay. My concern here is not to shame you; no, my concern is that you need help. Many of our members have gotten help before you, which the Guild was instrumental to. It is not a crime to seek support. I hate it when mature individuals in the Industry call me from behind, say trash about me, but won’t be man enough to confront you with the reality," a part of the statement read.
