Tonto Dikeh’s Ex, Kpokpogri Reacts to Regina Daniels Marital Crisis

Tonto Dikeh’s ex, Prince Kpokpogri has lashed out at Nigerians rejoicing over Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko’s marital crisis.
In a post on Instagram, he condemned Nigerians over the incident.
He noted that Nigerians seem to take pleasure in negative news.
Taking to his Instagram story, he wrote:
“It is quite unfortunate that many Nigerians seem to take pleasure in negative news, especially, when it concerns the personal lives of others.
 
When Tonto and u had our differences, many people rejoiced and threw unnecessary tantrums. Today, we remain good friends and have moved past those issues.
 
Now, the same attitude is being shown towards Senator Ned Nwoko and his wife, Regina. Rather, than showing empathy or wishing them well, some people appear to find joy in their challenges.
 
One wonders if such individuals are free from their own family problems or simply driven by envy and idle talk.
 
Every marriage faces its own trials and misunderstandings.
 
I strongly believe they will resolve their differences because senator Ned is a good man who always prioritizes his family above all else.
 
Let us learn to support and uplift others instead of celebrating their difficult moments.”
