A Catholic priest, Fr. Ugwu, has stirred controversy online after claiming that the marriage between billionaire politician Ned Nwoko and Nollywood actress Regina Daniels is not founded on love but on mutual greed and self-interest.
According to Fr. Ugwu, neither party has the moral right to complain about any challenges in their marriage, as they are now simply “reaping the fruits of their choices.”
“Ned is obsessed with virginity. Gina is obsessed with wealth,” the priest wrote.
“In an interview with Seun of Channels TV, Ned revealed that he can’t marry someone who is not a virgin. A non-virgin is a turn-off to his ‘royal’ blood.
“In a social media video, Gina alluded that she would rather cry in a Lamborghini. A Keke driver has no chance with her ‘sexy’ body.”
Fr. Ugwu explained that both individuals got exactly what they wanted from each other a transactional relationship masquerading as marriage.
“Luckily, or should we say providentially, Ned met Gina and Gina met Ned. Ned had wealth, which Gina wanted. Gina had virginity, which Ned wanted. Their requirements on both sides were met,” he said.
“Transfers were made. Results were visible. Ned looked fulfilled and proud to show off the offspring that emanated from his ‘virginic exploration.’ Gina was happy at last, flaunting the dollars, Ferrari, and G-Wagon that came from her ‘ancestral exploration.’”
The priest, known for his blunt social commentaries, likened their union to a contractual transaction, not a sacred covenant.
“Ordinarily, none of them ought to complain. Their ‘wants’ were met. They both got what they were pricing in the market. What they ordered was exactly what they got,” he wrote.
However, Fr. Ugwu added that the couple’s current issues stem from a misrepresentation of their relationship, saying they mistakenly called it a marriage when it was merely an exchange of desires.
“The problem between Ned and Gina is that they used the term ‘marriage’ to define what they shared. But if we are to be critical, bearing in mind what marriage truly means, it is an abuse of the word.
“If marriage could speak, it would have sued Ned and Gina for defamation,” he wrote pointedly.
The post has generated heated debate online, with many Nigerians divided over Fr. Ugwu’s comments some agreeing with his bold stance, while others accuse him of judging the couple’s private life.
Neither Ned Nwoko nor Regina Daniels has publicly responded to the priest’s remarks at the time of this report.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has slashed its fuel pump price for the second time within four days.
A market survey on Saturday by DAILY POST showed that NNPCL retail outlets around Airport Junction and Wuse Zone 6 (Berger) in Abuja have reduced their petrol price to N1210 per litre, down from N1260.
This means that the state-owned oil firm slashed the petrol price by N50 per litre.
This comes barely two days after Dangote Refinery reduced its petrol gantry price by N50 to N1,125 per litre.
Recall that four days ago, NNPCL had adjusted its fuel price pump by N75 per litre to N1260.
With the latest drop by NNPCL retail outlets, petrol prices stand between N1210 per litre and N1305 per litre in Abuja and its environs.
The reduction in domestic fuel comes amid falling crude oil prices, which stand at $69 per barrel and $71 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude, respectively, following the easing of the conflict in the Middle East.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu has kept mum amid the clamour by Nigerians for a commensurate drop in domestic fuel pump prices due to the significant reduction in crude oil prices.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it is yet to receive the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the Federal High Court judgment that set aside an earlier order directing it to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, as a political party.
INEC revealed this in a statement issued on Saturday by its Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the Chairman, Adedayo Oketola.
According to the commission, although it is aware of media reports on the judgment delivered by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja on June 26, it cannot comment on the ruling until it obtains and reviews the certified copy.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is aware of reports circulating in the media regarding the judgment delivered on Friday, June 26, 2026, by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, which set aside an earlier order concerning the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
“However, as of this moment, the Commission has not yet received the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the court’s order,” the statement said.
INEC stated that its legal department would study the judgment upon receipt of the CTC before advising the commission on the next course of action.
“Once the Commission’s legal department receives and thoroughly studies the CTC of the judgment, INEC will take an informed, lawful decision in line with the court’s directives.
“Until then, we cannot comment on the specifics of the ruling, and the public is urged to await the Commission’s formal position on the matter,” Oketola added.
Justice Isah Dashen of the Federal High Court in Lokoja had on Friday set aside the court’s December 10, 2025, judgment directing INEC to register the NDC as a political party.
The court held that the rights of the Peace Movement Party were affected by the earlier judgment because it was not joined in the suit despite claiming ownership of the logo relied upon in securing the registration order.
Justice Dashen consequently ordered that all parties be restored to the positions they occupied before the December 2025 judgment and directed that the substantive suit be heard afresh with all necessary parties joined.
The NDC has rejected the ruling and announced plans to appeal the decision. Its National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, maintained that the party had not been deregistered and argued that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revisit a matter on which it had already delivered a final judgment.
The ruling has also attracted reactions from opposition figures, including the NDC’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Dickson, and other stakeholders, who described the decision as a threat to Nigeria’s multiparty democracy and vowed to challenge it through all available legal channels.
INEC, however, maintained that it would reserve its position on the judgment until it receives and reviews the Certified True Copy.
