Prince Ned  Nwoko: The Billionaire Businessman Behind One of Nigeria’s Designated Tourist Sites  -Manny Ita

Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is perhaps known more about having swooned beautiful and young Nollywood actress Regina Daniels to become his wife, than a lot more other, due to the age difference between the wealthy businessman cum politician and the Nollywood teenage actress. And who begrudges that? Y’know he might well be described as good wine which only tastes better with age.

But seriously, this vintage wine has a lot more credits to his name than many people know. He is a lawyer of repute, having been tutored in the vocation at some of the finest law institutions in the world. Ned is also a politician and of course a consummate businessman.
He was a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003. He represented Aniocha North-South and Oshimili North-South in Delta State, Nigeria. He is a strong pillar in Delta State People Democratic Party (PDP). 
A Muslim, Prince Ned Nwoko was born on 21st December 1959 into the Royal Palace of Idumuje-Ugboko in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State in the south southern part of Nigeria; a place he has transformed into a top rate tourist attraction with an eye-popping edifice, nicknamed “Castle in the Air.” 

The castle is a combination of Arabian and western designs complemented with a royal traditional touch which experts have described as a tourist destination.

The home has a zoo with many species of wild and weird animals including Crocodiles, Ostriches, Horses, Sea Eagles, Porcupines, Monkeys, Rabbits, amongst others. Another section of the land has fish ponds that have about 50 thousand catfish and other species of fishes in them.

Apart from these, the land also has poultry section with more than 5000 chickens while another part of the land is filled with thousands of palm trees. Just behind the main castle is an Olympic size swimming pool and a lawn tennis court, with a standard table tennis adjacent in it, estimated to be worth about N10 billion. The castle is situated 1000 feet above sea level which makes it the highest point in Delta State.

The young Thespian wife of the business mogul,  Regina Daniels who has been criticized for marrying her older partner because of his money, has placated her critics to see her as an adult after recently getting married the 59-year-old billionaire.

In a video captioned “13 things you don’t know about me”, which she shared on her Youtube channel, Regina Daniels TV, said she had been an adult since birth, and spoke also of her lifestyle,  her journey so far in the Nollywood and movie industry as well as other challenges she had faced in life while growing up as a kid.
