The online community in Nigeria is buzzing after Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her UK-based brother, Lawrence, popularly known as Swezzy1, were discovered to have unfollowed each other on Instagram. This digital rift comes shortly after the actress was seen vacationing with him in London, a trip taken amid her ongoing marital crisis with billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
Digital Distance After London Hangout
Screenshots shared across various blogs and social media platforms confirmed that the siblings are no longer connected on the popular photo-sharing app. This development has left fans and followers deeply curious, as it follows a period where Regina Daniels was very publicly spending time with her brother in the United Kingdom.
The unfollowing incident is particularly notable because it occurred after a viral video showed the pair laughing and chatting in a London apartment. In that clip, Lawrence was seen smoking while assuring his sister he would make her enjoy her stay before returning to Nigeria. Regina appeared excited about the state of the apartment and even mentioned nearly passing out while recounting their previous night's activities.
Speculations of Family Tensions Rise
Neither Regina Daniels nor her brother Lawrence has issued any public statement to explain their social media actions. However, the timing has led to widespread speculation among netizens that the move is connected to the actress's highly publicized marital issues.
The crisis with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, escalated recently with mutual serious allegations. Regina accused Nwoko of domestic violence and assault, claims which the senator has denied. In a counter-allegation, Ned Nwoko claimed the actress struggles with drug use and implicated her brother, Sammie, in supplying her with substances.
This unfollowing episode has ignited a firestorm of reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing their theories and observations about the situation.
Nigerian Netizens React to the Online Fallout
The online community has been actively dissecting the situation. Some users, like @evermimi, brushed it off as a normal sibling quarrel that will likely be resolved, commenting, "Na siblings fight, them go still reconcile. Na normal thing."
Others were more critical, with users like @_footwears_and_more labeling them a "Family of Clout chasers." Several eagle-eyed commenters pointed out discrepancies in the usernames shown in some screenshots, urging others to verify the information.
One user, @nessaslide, offered a detailed hypothetical scenario: "Maybe Gina Wants To Return To EPA cos Of Her Boys and Her Brothers Opposed it... I'm Just Thinking Out Loud!" This comment references Regina Daniels's first son, whom she had before marrying Ned Nwoko.
Further intrigue was added by a user who noted that Regina did not publicly wish her brother a happy birthday, and that all his siblings appear to have unfollowed him as well, and vice versa. This suggests the rift may extend beyond just the two individuals.
As the saga continues to unfold, fans are left watching closely for any sign of reconciliation or further explanation from the actress or her family. The incident underscores how personal conflicts within celebrity families can quickly become public spectacles in the age of social media.
