Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has reacted with emotion to the video shared by her colleague, Regina Daniels, about her troubled marriage with Senator Ned Nwoko.
On Friday, Njoku took to Instagram to express how watching the video made her cry, recalling how Nigerians had seen Regina grow from a child actress into a woman.
She noted that it was painful to see her in distress and speaking out publicly about her marital challenges.
The actress, who is also a mother of two girls, expressed empathy, saying she could not imagine her daughters facing such pain.

She prayed for strength for Regina and urged other women to stand by her, warning that anyone could face a similar situation in the future.
Njoku also reminded men that even when a marriage ends, the woman remains the mother of their children and should still be treated with respect.
She wrote, “Dear Regina, Watching your video this morning brought tears to my eyes. I practically watched you grow. In fact, all of Nigeria did. From a child into the woman you are today. And seeing that woman cry out for help on social media truly breaks my heart. I’ve read some of the comments online, and I’m appalled.
“As a mother of two daughters, I can’t imagine my daughters ever going through something like this. I pray that if they ever have to come online to cry for help (God forbid), and I’m not here, God will raise an army to speak up for them. Because this world can be wicked.
“Dear Nigerian women, it could be any of us tomorrow. I don’t know what transpired in that marriage. And honestly, I don’t care to. What I do know is this: when a marriage ends, real men understand that even if she stops being your wife, she never stops being the mother of your children.
“My thoughts and prayers are with you, @regina.daniels, as you go through these trying times. No woman should ever have to suffer just because she chooses not to remain in a marriage. Stay strong.”
