Former president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima, has said that actress Regina Daniels and husband, Ned Nwoko, deserve to be happy together.
The news of their marriage has sparked diverse reactions on social media and beyond.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Ibinabo expressed her opinion that as consenting adults they should be allowed to live their lives.

I never even heard about these bad belle Nigerians when Regina and her mother weathered the storm that is the Nigerian film industry. “
