Regina Daniels, renowned for her roles in Nollywood and as the sixth wife of Senator Ned Nwoko, has reportedly deactivated her Instagram account. This unexpected move has fueled speculations, with many interpreting it as a response to the rumors suggesting that Chika Ike is pregnant with Nwoko’s child and may become his seventh wife.

The deactivation has left fans and followers curious and concerned, as social media remains a primary platform for celebrities to connect with their audience. Notably, Daniels remained silent during significant events, such as Valentine’s Day and her husband’s political milestones, further intensifying public curiosity.

Official Responses to the Rumors

In light of the escalating rumors, Senator Ned Nwoko’s communications office released a statement on February 17, 2025, categorically denying the allegations. The statement emphasized that claims of Nwoko planning to marry Chika Ike or being responsible for her pregnancy are “entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation.” The senator’s office also highlighted that, as a public figure married to an actress, it is not uncommon for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories. They urged the public to disregard these rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.

Chika Ike also addressed the rumors directly. In a heartfelt social media post, she expressed her frustration over the persistent media scrutiny and clearly denied the allegations. She stated:

“Ned isn’t the father of my child, and whoever’s name you might come up with later in your guessing game… I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me.”

Chika emphasized her desire for privacy and noted that while she usually ignores such rumors, she felt compelled to respond because this involved her child. She added:

“My privacy is my peace, and NO ONE can unsettle me. I’m basking in the euphoria of my pregnancy, and that’s all that matters to me now.”

 

Public Reaction and Speculation

Despite the official denials, public speculation continues to run rampant. Some observers have dissected the language of the statements, suggesting that terms like “baseless” leave room for interpretation.

Comments such as:

  • “He didn’t say false; he said baseless.” – Suggests that people are skeptical of Nwoko’s choice of words, implying he may not have outright denied it.
  • “No be you go tell us wetin we go believe, sir.” A sarcastic remark implying that people don’t fully trust his denial.
  • “Thank God I used allegedly.” A humorous way of acknowledging the rumors while avoiding making definitive claims.

Adding another layer to the narrative, Regina Daniels reportedly shared a dance video on Tik Tok  after her husband’s statement, with the caption:

“Look into my eyes, tears wan wound me.”

This post has been interpreted in various ways, with some viewing it as a subtle commentary on the ongoing rumors.

Conclusion

While official statements from both Senator Nwoko and Chika Ike have sought to quell the rumors, the Nigerian public continues to engage in fervent discussions, dissecting every nuance of the situation. As the story develops, it remains a focal point of gossip and speculation within the entertainment industry.

So, what’s really going on? The audience is left wondering.

Hilda’s Record-Breaking Jollof Festival

Published

on

Chef Hilda Baci turned Lagos into a giant kitchen on Friday when the World Jollof Festival lit up the Eko Hotel Car Park B. Part record attempt, part cultural celebration, the event drew thousands who came to witness one of the most ambitious cooking feats ever attempted in Nigeria.

Her goal was audacious: to cook the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice ever made. A custom-built pot, six metres wide and six metres tall, was rolled in for the challenge. It was originally designed to hold 250 bags of rice. With smoke rising and the massive cauldron heating up, the crowd pressed forward, eager to see whether she could pull it off.

Among those who came to cheer her on were some of Nigeria’s familiar faces. Actress Funke Akindele and Jemima Osunde were spotted around the giant pot, offering encouragement. Dancer Kaffy joined in the excitement, while DJ Peller added to the festival’s energy. Influencers including Enioluwa Adeoluwa, Tomike Adeoye, Folagade Banks and Vicky James shared live updates from the ground, ensuring the spectacle reached far beyond Lagos.

After nine hours of steady cooking, Baci completed the challenge. Instead of the planned 250 bags, she managed 200. The effort produced more than 14,000 kilograms of jollof rice. Volunteers worked quickly once the food was ready, handing out over 30,000 takeaway packs to a delighted audience at no cost.

The day, however, was not without setbacks. During the weighing process, the giant pot gave way while being lifted by a crane. It collapsed under its own weight. The accident forced organisers to scale back the rice used, but Baci and her team pressed on, determined to finish. The determination drew loud cheers from the crowd, who applauded her resilience as much as her cooking.

What remains uncertain is how Guinness World Records will judge the attempt. The collapse of the pot raises questions about whether the technical requirements were fully met, and official verification is still pending.

Still, the festival itself was a triumph. Beyond the numbers and the chase for a world record, the gathering reminded everyone why jollof rice holds such a special place in Nigerian culture. It brought together thousands of people from different walks of life, from celebrities to everyday Lagosians, to share in food, music and pride.

Whether or not Guinness gives its stamp of approval, Hilda Baci has already shown that Nigerian cuisine can command a global spotlight. A pot of jollof rice, no matter how massive, can still bring people together.

Tyla’s win carried the pride of the continent, but her presence on the red carpet made just as much noise. Styled by Ron Hartleben, she arrived in a 1993 vintage Chanel corset top, worn as a cream-and-black micro-mini dress. The look was balanced with fitted black shorts, a modern twist that allowed the outfit to move between daring and clean. Around her waist, gold chain echoing the layered necklaces and heavy medallions at her neckline.

Her partnership with Pandora was on full display as she stacked bracelets, rings, and anklets, turning jewelry into a language of detail and weight. On her feet, she chose black Louboutin pumps, a classic contrast to the rest of the look.

The beauty direction was just as deliberate: a side-parted bob, natural-toned glam and a bold green manicure  gave the look a sharp twist, showing that Tyla knows how to finish off her fashion moments.

It was a red-carpet appearance that felt from the past yet modern, drawing from fashion history while signaling the assurance of an artist who knows she’s making history herself. The award was one part of the night. The other was seeing Tyla step onto the carpet and stage with the same assurance— an artist shaping Afrobeats.
