Nollywood Feud Reignites With Allegations, Loyalty Tests, and Spiritual Shots.
In a fresh wave of Nollywood drama, actress Angela Okorie has lashed out at her junior colleague, Regina Daniels, following the latter’s public celebration of Mercy Johnson’s 40th birthday. The rift has triggered massive reactions across the Nigerian entertainment space, leaving fans wondering about the true dynamics of friendships and rivalries among Nollywood’s biggest stars.
Background: A Complex History of Friendship and Betrayal
Angela Okorie and Mercy Johnson were once regarded as close friends, often showing support for each other’s careers and family lives. However, their relationship turned sour several years ago. While the exact cause of their fallout remains unclear, Angela has consistently dropped cryptic messages and subtle jabs believed to be aimed at Mercy.
On the other hand, Regina Daniels has typically avoided controversies. Rising to fame as a child actress and later marrying billionaire businessman Ned Nwoko, she has maintained a diplomatic presence in the industry. That was until she posted an affectionate birthday message to Mercy Johnson — a move that apparently crossed the line for Angela.
Angela’s Reaction: A Public Outburst Unleashed
Shortly after Regina’s post, Angela unfollowed her on Instagram and launched a full-blown tirade online. She expressed disappointment in Regina for celebrating someone she, Angela, considered an adversary. Angela didn’t just stop there — she took the attack further by bringing up Regina’s marriage.
In a viral online statement, Angela wrote:
“You’re like a child to me. I expected better. I thought you were sensible enough to marry a man of your age, but instead, you married someone old enough to be your great grandfather.”
This statement not only questioned Regina’s loyalty but also dragged her personal life into the spotlight. Many found it unnecessary and harsh, while others saw it as Angela simply “telling it like it is.”
Spiritual Allegations and Deeper Claims
Angela went even deeper, insinuating that her feud with Mercy Johnson has spiritual dimensions. She claimed that she cannot be silenced — whether by physical threats or spiritual manipulation — and mentioned Mercy Johnson as someone who allegedly tried to “bring her down.”
Her post continued:
“I am not one to be silenced — not by physical threats or spiritual manipulations. Mercy knows this, and so does anyone who truly understands who I am.”
While she did not offer concrete details, Angela’s tone suggested that the conflict goes beyond petty squabbles — and possibly into personal, even spiritual, territory.
Regina’s Response: A Subtle Peace Offering?
Regina Daniels, meanwhile, has not issued a formal response to Angela’s accusations. However, she posted a video clip shortly after the drama began — with Angela Okorie’s hit song “Legit” playing in the background.
Fans interpreted this as a peace gesture, a subtle message suggesting she does not want the feud to continue. Whether this was intentional or coincidental remains open to interpretation, but it certainly caught public attention.
Public Reactions: Fans Take Sides
As expected, the internet erupted with reactions. Fans on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and blogs weighed in — some defending Angela’s right to speak her mind, while others criticized her for dragging Regina and Mercy over personal issues.
Here are a few popular sentiments from fans:
-
“Angela needs to stop acting like a child. Regina did nothing wrong.”
-
“Why is Angela so bitter about someone else’s happiness?”
-
“Regina is free to celebrate whoever she wants. It’s her page.”
-
“That marriage jab was unnecessary, Angela. Regina is happy. That’s what matters.”
The division among fans only adds to the intrigue surrounding the trio’s relationships.
What This Means for Nollywood
This incident is another reminder of the fragile and often complex relationships in the Nollywood industry. With social media serving as both a platform and battleground, even a simple birthday post can reignite old grudges.
Whether this public fallout leads to more drama or eventually cools down remains to be seen. As of now, Mercy Johnson has remained completely silent on the matter. Some say silence is golden — others say it speaks volumes.
One thing is clear: the fans are watching, and so is the industry.
Final Thoughts
Angela Okorie’s outburst may have surprised many, but it also sheds light on unresolved tensions that have been brewing for years. Regina Daniels, caught in the crossfire, may have to choose between loyalty and neutrality.
As the saga unfolds, fans can only hope for resolution — or more entertainment, depending on their perspective.
