Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has warned that she is prepared to reveal explosive details about her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, including alleged involvement in a murder case, fraud, land-grabbing, and other issues she claims were concealed through the use of wealth and influence.

Regina, in a series of posts via Instagram Stories on Monday, said she is only respecting Nwoko because he is the father of her children.

The movie star insisted that Senator Ned Nwoko introduced her to ecstasy drugs (Molly), which she said helped their sex life.

According to her, Ned loves his women wild and erotic, stressing that her estranged husband often takes viagra to improve his performance during sex with his women.

NYSC Releases Batch C Deployment Details For Prospective Corps Members

The National Youth Service Corps has announced the deployment postings for prospective members of the 2025 Batch C.

The scheme announced this on Monday via its official X handle, confirming that call-up letters are now available.

It added that some prospective corps members posted to Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory have been assigned to undergo their orientation in neighbouring states.

According to the NYSC, “some prospective corps members deployed to Lagos have their orientation course in Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo, Ogun and Osun camps,” while “some deployed to FCT will be in Kaduna, Niger and Nasarawa camps.”

This development aligns with an earlier report by PUNCH Online, in which the NYSC stated that camp capacity constraints across the 36 states and the FCT mean that “only about 40 per cent of registered Prospective Corps Members can be accommodated for the upcoming orientation programme.”

The scheme also issued a travel advisory, stressing, “Prospective corps members are advised not to travel at night to the orientation camp.”

It further reminded PCMs to print and sign all required documents ahead of camp, noting that the forms must be submitted during registration at the orientation camp.

Last week, it was reported that the NYSC released call-up numbers for the 2025 Batch C stream.

Online registration opened on November 4 and was scheduled to run until November 9 for both locally trained and foreign-trained graduates.

The scheme also published its mobilisation timetable, indicating that pre-camp physical verification for foreign-trained graduates would hold from November 9–13, while ICT processing was scheduled for November 12–15.

Corps-producing institutions, it added, are to facilitate online printing and physical distribution of deployment and call-up letters between November 16 and 18, during which PCMs are expected to print their call-up letters.

You Never Called Me For Two Years, You Were Absent In My Toughest Moments – BBNaija Star, Imisi Drags Her Mother

Imisi Ayanwale, the Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, has issued a response to the allegations recently made by her mother.

The reality TV star raised questions about why the matter only surfaced after her rise to fame.

The issue began when her mother posted videos online, saying she had been abandoned and still lived in poor conditions despite Imisi’s N150 million win.

The videos, released on November 16, showed her mother expressing frustration and insisting she would not plead for help.

In her response shared on her Instagram page, Imisi stated that her mother was not involved in her life before her BBNaija victory, saying that long periods would pass without any contact.

She said the sudden public outburst shocked her because the relationship had always been strained.

Imisi explained that she has supported her mother over the years and had sent money even in the days leading up to the controversy.

She added that she cannot use her prize money for personal comfort of one person since many family members now depend on her.

She said: “Before I won BBNaija, I was living my life and you would not even call me in one or two years, so why is there a problem now?

“God knows I have tried. I still sent you money last week and four days ago. Will I kill myself?

“I cannot take N1 out of the money I won for anybody’s comfort. I have 100 people in the family looking up to me alone.

“You were absent during the toughest phases of my life.”

There’s Plenty Of Room In The Sky For Everyone – Olamide Replies Critics Over Afrobeats Ranking

Olamide, the Nigerian rapper, has responded to the widespread reactions sparked by his recent remark placing Wizkid as the leading Afrobeats artist after the late Fela Kuti.

The uproar began after Olamide made the remark during a press briefing in Toronto, Canada.

Fans of Burna Boy and Davido pushed back on social media and argued that their favourites also deserved top placement.

Reacting through his X handle, Olamide said people will always hold different views about music and artistes.

He said that the industry is wide enough for every artist to thrive, adding that music lovers are free to support whoever they choose without trying to downplay the work of others.

He explained that Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid have grown past taking offence at opinions about rankings, saying their success comes from focusing on their craft rather than arguments.

He wrote, “Honestly, this whole lengthy 3-way conversation is pretty much whatever. You can’t diminish anyone’s greatness, whether they’re A-list, B-list, or anything else. Feel free to believe what you want or support whoever you choose – there’s plenty of room in the sky for everyone.

“However, one thing to remember is that Burna, David, and Wiz aren’t narrow-minded enough to get offended by someone else’s opinion or perspective. That’s part of why they’ve reached where they are today.”

Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup Dream Comes To An Ends As DR Congo Knock Out Nigeria In Penalty Shoot-Out

Nigeria has missed out on qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after falling to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the CAF playoff final on Sunday night.

The Super Eagles took an early lead in the first half after Frank Onyeka’s shot was deflected in.

But the Leopards were level after Mechak Elia pounced on a defensive error to finish past Stanley Nwabali.

The game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes and was decided on penalties.

Calvin Bassey, Moses Simon and Semi Ajayi all missed their kicks as DR Congo clinched the ticket to represent Africa at the intercontinental playoffs.

They will now play in a six-team intercontinental qualifier, which will be staged from March 23 to 31 in 2026 to decide the final two sides for next year’s World Cup.

15% Fuel Tariff U-Turn Unacceptable – Group Urges Total Ban On Petrol Imports

The Partners for National Economic Progress (PANEP) has criticised the Federal Government’s reversal of the recently introduced 15 percent tariff on imported petroleum products, describing the decision as a setback to the country’s economic reform agenda.

In a statement issued on Saturday by its co-convener, Comrade Olamide Odumosu, the organisation said the tariff was a “wise, courageous and legally sound decision” rooted in the Petroleum Industry Act, which envisaged Nigeria’s liberation from decades of dependence on fuel importation.

Odumosu claimed the policy reversal was driven by a false narrative that Nigeria lacks the capacity to meet domestic fuel needs, insisting that local players could sustain the country for at least 90 days in the event of an emergency.

PANEP dismissed concerns that a 15 per cent import tariff would lead to price hikes or a supply crisis, insisting that Nigeria would be better served by completely banning fuel importation to dismantle entrenched cartels allegedly benefiting from the current system.

The organisation alleged that much of the imported fuel is of poor quality, facilitated by the complicity or negligence of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA.

 

PANEP further claimed that some sectoral interests, including unions and associations, have consistently undermined the success of local refining.

The statement read in part: “Nigeria should ban petroleum product importation as a means of seizing oxygen to the oil cartel, who import very bad and poor quality products into the country, knowing that the regulator, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) is nonchalant about the quality of imported products.

“As an organisation, we are not against any player in the oil sector, but it is high time we forced this petroleum products importation cabal to embrace productivity. They should build refineries or form a cooperative to acquire the public refineries and be players in a productive downstream petroleum business. Importation must end.

“While we concede that Mr President acted in what he believed is in the public interest, we also make bold to state that the narratives that led to it were skewed by interests that have refused to allow the country’s local refining project to succeed.”

Criticising the tariff reversal, PANEP maintained that it contradicts President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic recovery plan, questioning the secrecy surrounding Nigeria’s daily fuel consumption figures and accusing regulatory agencies of failing in their duties.

The group recommended that the new implementation timeline for the tariff, initially set for the first quarter of 2026, should commence no later than January 1, 2026, to prevent what it described as “serial policy reversals.”

Odumosu drew parallels with the cement industry, where local production overcame early resistance and allegations of monopoly, arguing that Nigeria will not realise its full refining capacity until petroleum import cartels are dismantled.

The organisation therefore called on the Federal Government to reinstate the 15 per cent tariff and ultimately ban fuel importation before the end of the first quarter in 2026.

“We are getting serious with business under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the gains should not be reversed. The government must stop listening to agencies that have failed in their regulatory duties.

“We reiterate our position that the legal tariff should be reintroduced before the end of Q1 2026, and importation of petroleum products should be banned. Nigeria is capable and the claim of high consumption prices is a fat lie,”Odumosu said.

Regina Daniels’ Medical Reports Are Genuine – Husband Ned Nwoko Says

Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North, has issued a statement affirming the authenticity of circulating medical reports about his wife, actress Regina Daniels, which allege substance abuse.

The statement posted on the Senator’s Instagram page on Saturday, and signed by his Communication Team lead, was to address the controversy that erupted after one of the implicated hospitals previously denied issuing the document.

Tori News reports that Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja denied an alleged medical report claiming that actress Daniels has been battling severe substance abuse.

The viral report, signed by the hospital’s Managing Director and Head of Clinical Services, Adekunle Adesina, purportedly stated that Daniels was diagnosed with a substance use disorder and placed on a home-based detox programme starting September 24, 2025.

However, the statement shared by Nwoko on Saturday claimed that the medical reports are “genuine” and explained the position of the hospital.

“A medical report concerning Regina Nwoko has been circulating online. The reports are genuine,”
the statement read.

“The rehabilitation centre only clarified that it did not publish or circulate the documents, which is expected because medical institutions must protect client confidentiality. They did not deny authoring the reports; their concern is the leak itself.”

The post urged the public to read the full reports, which, according to the Senator’s team, clearly explain the situation.

“The public is encouraged to read the full reports, because they explain the situation clearly and directly. Both the toxicology report and the Serenity Hospital report confirm the presence of the same substances, all at levels that pose serious health risks: Marijuana, Cocaine, Morphine, Opiates at extremely elevated levels, Alcohol at a critically dangerous level.”

The statement went further to reference a Nizamiya Hospital report, saying, ” The Nizamiya Hospital report dated 3rd October adds an even more troubling detail. She was brought into the hospital unconscious from a drug overdose. These facts are documented, consistent, and deeply alarming.

“The reports also describe the challenges the rehabilitation centre faced, including persistent interference from her siblings. They openly stated that they do not see anything wrong in giving her alcohol and weed, even while she was undergoing rehabilitation, and they have continued enabling her substance use.

“Their actions made effective treatment impossible and remain one of the major reasons she has not been able to complete rehabilitation.”

The post went on to suggest that the actress’s current online behaviour reflects these struggles, adding that the Senator is insisting on therapy because “several of Regina’s recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind.”

It read, “Many have questioned why the Senator is insisting on therapy. His determination comes from the clear reality that several of Regina’s recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind.

“She is vulnerable, unprotected, and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain. Her online behaviour reflects her current struggles, and she tends to listen more to public voices than to medical professionals or her husband.”

It claimed that private attempts to help her did not succeed, and given the severity of the substances detected and the documented hospital emergency, “it is no longer an issue that can be handled quietly.”

Insisting that the reports are genuine, the statement concluded, “At this point, the question becomes: must we wait until Regina reaches a point of irreversible harm before we support her, encourage her to stop substance abuse, and help her commit to rehabilitation.

“Distinguished Senator is genuinely and deeply concerned. His tone, his actions, and his persistence all reflect a man who wants Regina to recover, to be safe, to be clear-minded, and to be present for her two young sons. Until those boys are old enough to guide her themselves, he will continue doing everything within his responsibility to help restore her well-being and ensure that future choices are made with clarity.

“The reports are authentic. The hospitals and rehabilitation centres did not leak them. The findings speak for themselves. Regina needs consistent treatment, support, and protection. Not denial, not interference, and not enabling. She is a mother, and she deserves the chance to regain her health and stability.”

Recall that Daniels had previously reacted to Nwoko’s claims, admitting to past drug use but insisting that her drug use was not the root of their marital issues.

Regina dismissed her estranged husband’s allegations as exaggerated, manipulative, and designed to tarnish her image.

She also alleged that Nwoko encouraged her drug use for his satisfaction and accused him of isolating her by targeting her friends and family.

How Living Abroad Humbled Me – Veteran Actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde Opens Up

Veteran Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, popularly known as Omo Sexy, has revealed how living abroad has been a humbling experience for her.

Omotola, in an interview with Punch, said COVID-19 changed her perspective about life, noting that visiting the United States was not the same as living there.

According to the movie star, fame came early in Nigeria and relocating to the United States taught her discipline, organisation, and presence.

She said, “The country’s situation wasn’t the main reason. I had opportunities before, but waited for the right timing. COVID-19 changed my perspective; I realised life is short. Visiting the U.S. often wasn’t the same as living there. Moving was scary, but it was a necessary leap.

“Living abroad humbled me. Fame came early in Nigeria, and moving taught me discipline, organisation, and presence. Even small things, like driving or auditioning, reminded me that nothing is guaranteed.”

Omotola also addressed the purported ban in the Nollywood industry for demanding too much pay.

She said, “That’s false. Who bans someone for asking for fair pay? The issue wasn’t greed; it was about professionalism. I was one of the highest-paid actors at the time, but a few of us were seen as “too powerful” and outspoken. I insisted on fair treatment for crew members and wouldn’t work until they were properly fed. That made me a target, but I have no regrets.”

Speaking on the challenges of Nollywood, having worked both abroad and in Nigeria, the movie star said, “The biggest challenge in Nollywood is the lack of structure. I’ve fought for standards since the beginning of my career, even being blacklisted at times for insisting on professionalism and proper documentation. That’s why I started Tefes, a platform focused on formalising the entertainment business and raising standards.

“In other countries, entertainers are recognised with salaries and pensions because they shape society. Nollywood projects Nigeria to the world through movies, culture, and music. What we lack is proper structure; functional guilds, less politics, and more professionalism.”
