Sharing adorable throwback photos and cherished moments with Sammy West, she wrote:

“Happy birthday, my precious brother. My blessing of a brother, my guy, my main guy! For the first time, I no wetin to talk, I just weak. But I want you to know I’m grateful for you and I love you so freaking much, and I pray God grants all your heart’s desires and announces you exactly how you want.
If there’s something you must be proud of, it’s that your baby sister’s new chapter—her journey towards peace and purpose—started because of you.
Everyone, btw, do you know that my brother named me Regina? Omo, I love you bro @sir.sammywest.”

Regina’s touching message comes following a series of personal challenges. The actress previously opened up about facing domestic violence in her marriage to Ned Nwoko. Not long after, her brother Sammy was reportedly arrested by her estranged husband but was released on bail after public outrage and intervention.

Despite these difficult moments, Regina’s tribute highlights the enduring strength of their sibling bond and the unwavering support they have for each other.
