A heated exchange has erupted between Nollywood actresses Angela Okorie and Regina Daniels, following Angela’s recent comments about Mercy Johnson’s alleged illness.
The controversy began when Angela Okorie posted a video claiming that Mercy Johnson was battling a serious health condition, which she described as so severe that she wouldn’t wish it upon her worst enemies. In the same video, Angela stated that she had forgiven Mercy and urged her to seek forgiveness from those she had wronged, while also criticizing her for using religious language that, according to Angela, doesn’t reflect her true behavior.
Angela’s remarks sparked strong backlash from Regina Daniels, who holds Mercy Johnson in high esteem as a mentor and industry elder. In defense of Mercy, Regina posted a blunt response on her Instagram story, calling Angela “mad” and mocking the idea of forgiveness. She emphasized that this was not the kind of situation where forgiveness was welcomed, subtly referencing Mercy Johnson’s strength as a mother and public figure.
Angela Okorie, in turn, fired back at Regina Daniels, criticizing her intelligence and status. She dismissed Regina’s comments as childish, reminding the public that Regina’s mother used to bring her to Angela’s house when she was much younger. Angela also took a personal jab at Regina’s marriage, accusing her of being driven by greed and marrying someone far older than herself for money—implying her husband is old enough to be her great-grandfather.
Angela ended her outburst with a stern warning, threatening to expose Regina Daniels if she dares to insult her again. This ongoing drama has quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing significant attention from fans and followers of Nollywood. The dispute not only reflects simmering personal tensions but also raises broader concerns about how conflicts among public figures are aired and escalated online.
In her words; “Note:No disrespect to the senator
