Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has opened up about her health, appearing in a wheelchair in a birthday video in which she said she has spent months unable to move around as she pleases.
In the video posted on Instagram on Saturday, she marked what she called her silver jubilee and asked God for “total calm” in this new phase of her life. She then addressed the sight of her in a wheelchair directly.
I know many of you may be surprised seeing me in a wheelchair,” she said. “Well, welcome to another chapter of my life.”
She explained that many fans had been wondering why she’d stepped away from the spotlight, and chose her birthday as the moment to respond to those who truly care.
According to the actress, she has lost her freedom to move around as she pleases for several months.
She mentioned that it started off as something small but gradually worsened, and that the situation took a significant turn after the last public event she organized, her Children’s Day carnival.
Regina said the pain became excruciating. Some days she could walk well, she said, and on others she could not move at all. She said she cried and turned to God for healing.

Her tone then lifted as she said she was speaking because of some really significant developments in her recovery and thanked God. She did not disclose the nature of her condition, its cause, or the treatment she is undergoing.
The actress also spoke about where she is living now. She said she decided to move closer to her children, first renting a space and later putting down a deposit on the house she now lives in, because she “had this need to own.”
Her comments come weeks after speculation that she had gone back to her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, from whom she has been estranged.
In early September, a brief video surfaced showing Regina in the background of a live stream hosted by one of Nwoko’s sons, seemingly filmed at the senator’s residence.
She was heard telling the host to “cut it” as she moved away from the camera.
The video sparked speculation about a possible reunion. However, neither Regina nor Nwoko confirmed the reports, and her sister, Destiny Daniels, offered a statement that contradicted claims she had formally returned to the marriage.
Regina did not address the reunion report directly. But by describing a home she chose and made a down payment on herself, she suggested she has set up a place of her own.
