Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has expressed deep concern and sympathy for her junior colleague Regina Daniels, who has been in the news over her ongoing marital crisis with husband Senator Ned Nwoko.
Taking to her Instagram page, Mary shared a heartfelt open letter to Regina, offering words of encouragement and solidarity as the young actress faces public scrutiny and emotional distress.
“Seeing You Cry Broke My Heart” — Mary Njoku Writes
Reacting to a viral video of Regina Daniels breaking down in tears and calling for help, Mary Njoku admitted that the sight left her deeply moved.
“Dear Regina, watching your video this morning brought tears to my eyes. I practically watched you grow. In fact, all of Nigeria did. From a child into the woman you are today. And seeing that woman cry out for help on social media truly breaks my heart,” she wrote.
Mary added that as a mother of two daughters, she was particularly touched by Regina’s pain, praying that God would always raise voices to defend women in similar situations.
“As a mother of two daughters, I can’t imagine my daughters ever going through something like this.
I pray that if they ever have to come online to cry for help (God forbid), and I’m not here, God will raise an army to speak up for them. Because this world can be wicked.”
“It Could Be Any of Us Tomorrow” — Njoku Urges Nigerian Women to Support One Another
Addressing Nigerian women, Njoku urged empathy rather than judgment, emphasizing that no woman deserves to suffer humiliation or pain in silence.
“Dear Nigerian women, it could be any of us tomorrow. I don’t know what transpired in that marriage, and honestly, I don’t care to. What I do know is this: when a marriage ends, real men understand that even if she stops being your wife, she never stops being the mother of your children.”
“Stay Strong” — Mary’s Message to Regina Daniels
Mary Njoku concluded her post with a message of strength and solidarity, encouraging Regina to stay resilient amid her challenges.
“My thoughts and prayers are with you, @regina.daniels, as you go through these trying times. No woman should ever have to suffer just because she chooses not to remain in a marriage. Stay strong.”
Her post quickly went viral, attracting massive reactions from fans and colleagues in the Nollywood industry who praised her for standing by Regina during her emotional ordeal.
