Nollywood Feud Explodes: Angela Okorie and Regina Daniels Clash Over Mercy Johnson Health Controversy [Update 2]

 

The tension brewing among Nollywood actresses has reached boiling point, as a fiery war of words continues to unfold online. What began as a controversial claim about Mercy Johnson’s health has spiraled into a no-holds-barred social media confrontation between Angela Okorie and Regina Daniels, drawing the attention of fans and critics alike.

Angela Okorie recently made headlines after she took to Instagram Live with startling claims about fellow actress Mercy Johnson. During the session, she alleged that Johnson was battling a serious illness and advised her to seek forgiveness from people she may have wronged in the past. The video, which circulated widely, was met with heavy backlash. Many interpreted the comments as insensitive, accusing Angela of being opportunistic and disrespectful toward a colleague going through a tough time.

Among those who publicly condemned Angela’s remarks was popular actress Regina Daniels. Known for her polished public image and reserved demeanor, Regina took a surprisingly aggressive stance. On social media, she lashed out at Angela, accusing her of lacking empathy and attacking a mother with children who might one day encounter such damaging content. Regina did not hold back, stating:

“I’m sorry and with all due respect, aunty Angela you dey m@d! Abeg no forgive because for this side, we no dey forgive. continue and whilst at it, no forget say she get pikin wey gidigba. No dey shalaye!!!”

Regina’s response marked a turning point in the narrative, shifting attention from Mercy Johnson’s health to an unexpected generational feud between the two actresses. Her remarks, laced with street slang and sharp wit, caught many by surprise, showcasing a side of the actress rarely seen by the public.

Angela Okorie, however, was quick to respond, and she did not mince words either. In an Instagram Story update, she addressed Regina directly, painting a picture of their past interactions. She recalled how Regina used to visit her home with her mother and suggested she once looked up to her.

“You are like a child to me... you used to come to my house with your mum… I thought you were sensible enough to marry a man of your age,” Angela wrote.

Taking aim at Regina’s personal life, Angela referenced the actress’s marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, a man significantly older than Regina and already known for having multiple wives. She implied Regina’s marital choice was rooted in greed rather than love or dignity.

“You feel because you married a grandpa you can talk to me? If you insult me again, I will remind you what you have forgotten.”

Angela also offered a broader message aimed at young women, urging them to value self-respect and financial independence. In a stinging jab, she accused Regina of being driven by a "long throat for money"—a Nigerian slang for greed—and insisted that the younger actress had failed to mature into the kind of woman she once claimed she wanted to be.

She continued her takedown with an additional post, mocking Regina’s past admiration and contrasting it with her present actions.

“Dem don push small Regina to come talk for them. Regina, where Mercy dey those years wey you dey come my house? While growing up, you said you wanna be like me. Now you are grown, I was thinking your IQ will be higher, but to no avail.”

The post grew increasingly personal and provocative, with Angela questioning Regina’s choices, values, and upbringing. She even suggested that Regina wasn’t the only wife in her marriage, throwing in a biting prediction: “Don’t worry extra 13,14 is loading.”

By ending her barrage with the statement, “You just don’t have home training at all,” Angela made it clear she considers Regina’s actions deeply disrespectful, and she issued a stern warning: “Last warning @regina.daniels. I no dey see anybody wey no get respect o.”

As the online drama intensifies, fans and observers are left divided. Some support Regina Daniels for speaking up in defense of Mercy Johnson, calling her response justified and overdue. Others argue Angela’s backlash is a reaction to misplaced anger and generational disrespect.

Regardless of where public opinion falls, one thing is certain: the spotlight has shifted from Mercy Johnson’s rumored health struggles to a high-profile Nollywood clash that shows no signs of cooling down. With both parties standing their ground and airing personal grievances in public, the once-quiet rift among the stars has turned into a full-blown feud playing out before millions of curious followers.

The entertainment industry watches closely as this drama unfolds, waiting to see who will speak next—or whether a truce can be found amidst the storm of egos and accusations.
