Patrick Doyle Unfazed By Celebrity Status

Veteran Nollywood actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle says fame holds no value to him, as he lives a life grounded in simplicity and personal integrity.

In a recent interview with Tribune, the respected thespian dismissed the popularity that comes with stardom, stating that his sense of identity and self-worth has never been tied to public validation or celebrity status.

“I don’t live like a star. I don’t live like a celebrity. That’s all I’m going to tell you. It doesn’t mean anything to me. The very nature of my antecedents on my paternal side and my maternal side is royalty. I don’t need any validation from anyone.”

“As I said, I’m very arrogant in my head. I know exactly who I am. So, all the other things that make people get excited don’t excite me, because in my head, I’m too much.”

Doyle, known for his decades-long contribution to Nigerian cinema and television, and his opinionated nature, went on to criticise the consumerism and image-focused lifestyle that many celebrities adopt.

“The type of car that I drive, if you escort me out and you see my car, you will see what I mean. And that’s because all it does for me is carry me from point A to point B. I’m not going to kill myself to buy the latest Range Rover.”

“When they do that, that’s when they become unscrupulous. That’s when they take on jobs that they have no intention of doing, getting a deposit for the job and taking off. And they do all kinds of things. I don’t need to have a Louis Vuitton bag. I don’t need a Gucci suit. And I’m not the worst-dressed person in Nigeria either.”

Published

on

The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district at the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has confirmed the viral medical reports in which his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, morphine, opiates and other hard drugs.

Naija News recalls that the medical report issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, revealed that the movie star has been battling severe substance abuse and has been undergoing a detoxification program  from September 9 to October 15, 2025.

The medical report stated that the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to Nwoko’s residence on September 23, when Regina had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was visibly aggressive.

The report emphasized that Regina presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.”

The hospital also outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, stressing that the thespian had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”

However, the medical facility, in a statement via its Instagram page, said the leaked document did not emanate from them, as they are committed to ensuring medical confidentiality.

Ned Nwoko, in a statement issued on Saturday, pointed out that the medical facility did not deny authorizing the leaked document but only clarified that it did not publish the document.

Nwoko stated that Regina Daniels’ recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind, stressing that she is vulnerable and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain.

The statement added that Senator Nwoko is genuinely and deeply concerned for Regina Daniels to recover, be safe and present in the lives of her children.
