Focus On Your Family, Not AGN Politics – Emeka Rollas Tells Regina Daniels Mum Amid Daughter’s Battle With Ned Nwoko

Emeka Rollas, President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has broken his silence on the ongoing controversy involving Ned Nwoko, Regina Daniels, and her family, calling for transparency and responsibility within the industry. In a detailed Instagram post accompanied by a photo of the trio, Rollas explained that his previous silence was out of respect for the family, not fear. He stressed that as AGN President, he has a duty to clarify the truth, particularly as his name has been repeatedly dragged into the matter. On the issue involving Nwoko and Regina Daniels, Rollas noted that while the situation is primarily a family matter, it has implications for the Guild. He criticized the Board of Trustees and senior actors, including Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, and Sanni Danjuma, for remaining silent despite witnessing troubling incidents on set. Rollas said Regina “needs help,” and the silence of colleagues has unfairly left him exposed. He recounted that during preparations for a roundtable in South Africa, Nwoko allegedly imposed a condition that Regina could only travel if she avoided Lagos, describing the directive as a verified fact amid widespread misinformation. Rollas also highlighted a public incident on Regina’s son’s birthday, where Nwoko reportedly commented on her smoking habit in front of guests and AGN members, suggesting she would “have her own daughter” if she stopped smoking. He emphasized that he witnessed the event personally. Clarifying his intentions, Rollas said his concern is not to shame Regina but to encourage her to seek support, noting that the Guild has assisted many members facing similar challenges. Addressing Rita Daniels, he urged her to prioritize her daughter’s well-being over ambitions for AGN leadership, warning that justifying harmful habits as part of a “celebrity lifestyle” could set a dangerous example for younger actors. Speaking directly to Ned Nwoko, Rollas said publicly calling out his wife was inappropriate and stressed that such matters should be handled privately. He also corrected claims that Nwoko donated ₦200 million to AGN, clarifying that the funds were intended for Regina’s personal projects, not the Guild. Rollas concluded by calling on all parties to protect the integrity of AGN, stressing that the Guild should remain a safe and supportive space for its members, not a platform for personal conflicts.
