Regina Daniels appeared in a wheelchair in an Instagram video posted on Saturday, October 10, 2026, to mark her 25th birthday. She told fans she had lost the freedom to move around as she pleased for several months after a minor issue worsened. As of 6pm WAT, the clip is the first detailed update she has given on the health struggle that kept her largely off social media.
The Nollywood actress said the pain became excruciating and that some days she could walk while other days she could not move at all. Legit.ng reported that she jokingly called herself a lab rat after one medical test followed another, and that things took a major turn after her last public event, a Children’s Day carnival. Pulse noted she has not named the condition or the treatment she is receiving.
She described crying and looking to God for healing while relocating closer to her children and medical facilities. Friends and colleagues including Toyin Abraham, Iyabo Ojo and Phyna have already sent messages of support. The video ends on a note of gratitude for significant developments in her recovery.
