Angela Okorie Criticizes Regina Daniels Over Marriage
Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has stirred controversy with a recent Instagram post, which many believe to be aimed at her colleague Regina Daniels. In a now-deleted post, Okorie questioned the authenticity of Daniels’ public statements about Nigeria while pointing out what she sees as the irony of Daniels’ personal life choices.
During a protest earlier this month, Regina Daniels had voiced her condemnation of violence and called for peace. Her comments, however, received backlash from some who saw a contradiction in her stance given her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
In her post, Okorie criticized, “Nigeria good na him you marry man wey old pass your grandfather. You won advice Nigerians but you no advice yourself rubbish.” This statement reflects Okorie’s sentiment that Daniels’ marriage to Nwoko—a man 38 years her senior—undermines her public advice about social issues.
While Okorie did not name Daniels directly, the context suggests she was referring to the actress. Daniels’ marriage to Nwoko, which became public in April 2019, has been a subject of significant media attention due to the age difference. Daniels has previously defended her choice, explaining that she chose to marry an older man to foster a sense of submission, and she has described her marriage as fulfilling both publicly and privately.
Nwoko has also addressed rumors and public opinions about their relationship, including his personal preferences regarding his spouse. Despite the criticism, Daniels and Nwoko have maintained a positive outlook on their marriage and often address negative comments with humor.

Van Vicker emphasized the importance of marrying the right person and understanding them deeply.

He shared his belief that while marriage has its difficulties, love remains a beautiful experience, saying, “I have no regrets about being married and staying married.”
In his post, he reflected on their 30-year relationship, stating, “I am blessed to have my wife, Adjoa Van Vicker, by my side all these years.” He prayed for the grace to continue navigating the challenges of marriage and expressed his appreciation for the love they share.
Last year, Van Vicker surprised fans by celebrating their 20th anniversary, emphasizing that their journey began three decades ago and recognizing their marriage as a profound blessing.
