Maraji Playfully Mocks Ned Nwoko Amid Ongoing Regina Daniels Marital Drama
Nigerian singer and comic sensation Maraji has stirred fresh reactions online after releasing a video where she jokingly mocked Senator Ned Nwoko over the controversies surrounding his marriage to Nollywood star Regina Daniels.
In the viral clip, Maraji playfully “dragged” the senator while commenting on several statements he has allegedly made about Regina during their reported marital tension—remarks that have fueled plenty of online conversations in recent days.
Delivering her satire in classic Maraji style, she said:
“We believe you, grandpa. Maybe next time when you see small pikin you go leave am.”
Her tone was light but pointed, as she further joked that she wasn’t sure what Nwoko expected from someone clearly much younger. She teased that perhaps he should “go for someone mature” next time if he wants less drama.
Still keeping things humorous, Maraji also advised the senator to stop going around giving “TED talks” about his relationship situation.
OPINION: Maraji’s Joke Hits Hard Because It Echoes What Many Nigerians Won’t Say Loudly
The beauty of satire is that it says the thing everyone is thinking—but in a way that makes people laugh instead of start a war. And Maraji did exactly that.
Her joke may have been playful, but it tapped into a long-standing public conversation about age gaps, power dynamics, and expectations in marriages where partners are decades apart. Nigerians have often whispered these opinions in comment sections, but Maraji put it on loudspeaker—with humour as her microphone.
What makes her jab even more striking is that it wasn’t rooted in insult, but in irony:
If you marry someone young enough to trend with Gen Z lingo, can you really act surprised when youthful behaviour shows up?
While the details of Nwoko and Regina’s marital issues remain speculative, the situation highlights something bigger—public figures forgetting that Nigerians are not just watching, they’re analyzing, laughing, and questioning.
Maraji simply served the commentary with a sprinkle of comedy.
At the end of the day, her joke underscores a simple truth:
When private relationship problems spill into the public, the public will talk—and comedians will turn it into content.
For now, everyone waits to see whether the senator will respond or simply let the internet have its moment… again.
