Regina Daniels Celebrates 25th Birthday In Wheelchair, Reveals Health Challenges

 

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has revealed that she has been battling severe pain and mobility challenges for months, disclosing that her condition forced her to depend on a wheelchair.

Daniels shared the development in a video posted on her Instagram page on Saturday to mark her 25th birthday, while explaining her prolonged absence from social media.

The mother of two said what began as a minor health issue gradually worsened,

leaving her struggling to move around and, at times, unable to walk.

“I know many of you may be surprised seeing me in a wheelchair. Well, welcome to another chapter of my life. Let me walk you through what my life has been since many of you have asked questions about my absence,” she said.

The actress explained that she had lost the freedom to move around as she pleased over the past few months, adding that her condition deteriorated after the children’s carnival she hosted.

“For several months now, I have lost my freedom to move around as I please. It started as something minor, very minor, but eventually led to this.

“But things took a major turn after the last public gathering I hosted, my children’s day carnival. One test after another, I jokingly started calling myself elaborate. The pain became excruciating. Sometimes I can walk, and sometimes I can’t move. I cried,” she added.

Daniels, however, expressed gratitude for the progress she said she had made in her recovery, noting that she was gradually getting better.

She said her faith in God had remained a source of strength as she navigated the difficult period, expressing hope for healing and peace.

The actress also spoke about the emotional toll of her condition, particularly her growing dependence on other people for assistance with everyday activities.

Explaining why she decided to speak publicly about her health, Daniels said recent developments in her recovery had encouraged her to share her experience with her fans and well-wishers.

“Well, me sitting here today, in front of this camera, sharing this with y’all, it’s because there’s been some really significant developments in my recovery. And I say, thank you, Lord,” she said.

She also disclosed that she had moved closer to her loved ones, particularly her children, whom she described as being close to her heart.

Daniels said she initially rented the property but later developed a desire to own it after moving in.

The actress married businessman and politician Ned Nwoko in 2019, and they have two children. Their marriage has since been marked by a public and contentious separation.
