Regina & Mercy- Bonded by Style, Backed by Loyalty

Published

on

On the evening of June 14, 2025, all eyes were on Nollywood’s beloved Regina Daniels and Mercy Johnson as they graced the 68th UN Tourism CAF Gala Night in Abuja. Invited by the Honourable Minister of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy.

Dressed in coordinated Ankara straight gowns designed with long lace flared sleeves, they arrived gracefully and became the centre of attention. Regina’s gown carried striking black lace and was designed by Regina Ojeogwu, while Mercys was in green lace, courtesy of Sammielcal. According to Regina, the matching look was completely unplanned—yet in perfect sync, just like their bond.

And that bond has only grown stronger, especially in recent weeks.
Just over a week ago, Regina Daniels proved her loyalty when she came out swinging in defense of Mercy Johnson during one of the most heated online controversies Nollywood has seen in a while.

It all began on June 3, 2025. Actress Angela Okorie went live on Instagram in what seemed to be a moment of peace and reflection. She shared that she had forgiven Mercy Johnson for past wrongs and subtly suggested Mercy should also “apologise for all the wrongdoings.” But what started as a calm moment quickly blew up into a social media storm.

Angela began by addressing Mercy Johnson’s rumored health condition, showing what appeared to be concern.

“I got some news recently that Mercy Johnson is not feeling well, and really honestly feel for her and I want the best for her, and I want her to win. The kind of sickness I was told she has is something I cannot wish on my enemy.”

But her choice of words didn’t sit well with Regina Daniels, who didn’t hesitate to defend her “mama.” In a fiery clapback, Regina called Angela “mad” and added:

“Please don’t forgive because here we don’t forgive. Continue and while at it, don’t forget that she has children. No dey shalaye.”

Things exploded quickly. Angela took personal swipes, accusing Regina of marrying for wealth.

“You married a man who is supposed to be your great-grandfather,” she said, claiming it was the only reason Regina felt bold enough to speak up.
But Regina didn’t let it slide. Her response? Sharp, direct, and unapologetic:

“I married my old man, but he is certainly not your regular old man. He is everything your kind prays for but can’t attract. Don’t get me started on telling the world how you were chasing this same old man.

Now let your age reflect your reasoning. Clearly, you failed because a girl who once admired you when she was six sees you as nothing to write home about. And for Christ’s sake, stop comparing yourself to me!!! It will be a huge disrespect to me and everyone who supports my movement. You and I are not the same. Not even close. I am bigger than you and your entire music/movie career. Let’s not even mention my mama (Mercy Johnson), whose name rings the loudest bell. I don’t need scandals or shadows to shine.”

While fans were still recovering from the battle of words, Angela Okorie returned with more flames. She claimed to have visited Regina in her Abuja home, where she alleged that Regina’s husband, Ned Nwoko, gave her ₦500,000 and requested that Regina be featured in one of Angela’s projects.

Regina, however, swiftly denied the claim. According to her, the money was not a gift but rather a result of Angela begging for support on her project.
And now, in the latest twist, Angela is claiming that Regina is trying to get her arrested.

Our multiple award-winning actress clocked 50 on the 12th of July. As she dropped amazing photos of herself on Instagram, tributes and wishes have been coming in none stop. In one of her post, she wrote a short but heart felt message, saying “Happy decade day, Ree Dee” she went ahead to gives thanks to God for health and Life.

Brought up from a background that values education, she started to show an early flair for performance- acting in school plays, before going ahead to study Theatre Arts at the University of Port Harcourt, earning her Bachelor’s Degree in 1999. From there, she picked up her acting career and she has never looked back.

Over the years, Dominic has made a name for herself. she has gathered a collection of awards that speak volumes, both local and international. These awards include the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards and earned accolades from film festivals in Toronto, Durban and Cairo.

While her journey through Nollywood has been nothing short of iconic, her love story adds another layer to the woman we’ve come to admire. In 2022, she got married to Fidelis Anosike. The wonderful union took place at the stately North Yorkshire manor in the United Kingdom. In a past interview, Rita once described their bond as “worth the wait” and encouraged women to pursue happiness in their own timeline.

Beyond acting, Rita is also a respected film producer and co-founder of The Audrey Silva Company. She has helped reshape storytelling in Nollywood, aiming for better scripts.
In December 2024, she was officially appointed as the Chairman of Miss Nigeria Board for the 45th edition of the pageant. During her tenure, it wasn’t only about beauty, but beauty with brains. She was intentional about community uplifting, gifted mind and women in leadership, generally female empowerment.

Style That Evolves but Never Misses
Rita Dominic has always had an eye for sophisticated fashion. From her early Nollywood days to becoming one of the most stylish celebrities in Nigeria, she is always on point when it comes to fashion. Her style speaks fluent luxury— think well-tailored dresses, rich fabrics, and a soft femininity.


At her 50th birthday celebration, Rita reminded us all that age has nothing to do with style. She wore a masterpiece from the Tubo Brand that screamed royalty — hand-beaded gold and coral number with intricate lace and a silhouette that hugged all the right places. It wasn’t just a dress; it was a statement of elegance and power that radiated regality. Her designer said the outfit was inspired by her traditional wedding dress and the color gold was chosen to mark her golden jubilee.

Grace That Inspires a Generation
Turning 50 marked a powerful new beginning for Rita. She is a type that many women look up to. She speaks with grace, lives with intention, and dresses like every moment is worth celebrating. Her presence reminds us that growing older is not something to be afraid of — it’s something to own and look forward to.

Final Thoughts
Rita Dominic is the embodiment of grace, strength, and timeless style. She’s not just living her best life — she’s inspiring others to do the same. From her stunning fashion to her  beauty, and a career that’s shaped Nigerian film, Rita is in a league of her own.

This new chapter? It’s just the beginning.

Happy birthday, Rita Dominic Anosike
