So as the story goes, a news story from 8 years ago resurfaced. This story was reportedly first seen on Ladun Liadi's blog and here are some excerpts I'll show you from the post. It's poorly worded and I would have edited it but I want to give it you exactly as it was written 8 years ago:

As you read this report, fast rising actress Annie Macaulay and the rave of the moment (courtesy of her fancy nancy store) actress Chika Ike are in cold war. According to a source, the actresses have been good friends, until Annie introduced Chika to Prince Ned Nwoko who is a London trained international lawyer.

It was however gathered that, things went fine between the lawyer and Chika, with the actress getting a N16 million naira ‘tear rubber’ (brand new) Range Rover Sport from the relationship. And long before her friends could say the actress has arrived, she declared her Fancy Nancy store opened still courtesy of Prince Ned.

Annie who was however shocked about all these, a source said asked for her own share of what she got from the lawyer, but Chika turned her down insisting she worked hard for it.

The source also informed that, Prince Ned is angry about people crediting the Senate President, Senator David Mark as the one behind the actress new lifestyle, instead of him.

“The two friends have gone their separate ways and Annie is still so much bitter with her one time friend," the source concluded.

That was the report that came out 8 years ago before anybody really knew who Ned Nwoko was.

Tariq who was a law student at North Staffordshire University, England suddenly died in his sleep at the early hours of Monday, December 8, 2014. Tarik had complained to his friends who had dinner with him on Sunday that he was feeling unwell only to be found dead on Monday morning according to news reports. According to the statement Ned Nwoko gave, the London police ruled out any foul play. The police authority also ruled out drugs and alcohol. Tarik was said to have been a keen footballer.

At 59 years old, Ned Nwoko is about to become a father again. He is now expecting a baby with his young wife, Regina Daniels who announced her pregnancy to the world not too long ago.

12.

He apparently loves to date celebrities so he can get his name out there. Popular blogger, Gistmerchant, made an Instagram post about one year ago which read:

Do you know that it was Ned that was sponsoring Chika through all those her trips, purchases, tv show? He has a political ambition and needs to gain popularity but hooking up with chika hoping to gain popularity failed as Chika wasn’t ready to show him to the public. Now he linked himself with Regina who wanted to also hide him but he refused and planted his camera people everywhere making sure their pictures were leaked and sent to the blog creating a media frenzy. Regina and her mum planned to chop and clean mouth.

You are welcome.

Chika never directly responded to this, but in one caption while promoting her movie, Small Chops, Chika wrote:

Come to think of it, we’ve all been Small Chops unknowingly or knowingly at some point in our lives . 🤔

Small chops = side chick, side boyfriend, not the main meal , side piece , side everything 🤪etc

People took this to be a confirmation of the rumors.

13.

However, around May of 2019, Regina Daniels' real father broke his silence expressing disapproval about the marriage between the millionaire and his daughter.
