Opera singer, Abiodun Koya, has sparked widespread discussion online after revealing the surprising reason she turned down billionaire politician, Ned Nwoko, after just a single date — a moment that took place long before his marriage to actress Regina Daniels.
In a detailed interview, Abiodun clarified that she and Ned were never close and that whatever existed between them ended immediately after their first outing together. She emphasized that there was no romantic progression because something happened during that date that completely changed her perception of him.
According to Abiodun, the turning point occurred the moment Ned chose to park his car directly under a “No Parking” sign while picking her up for a dinner outing. She explained that this act alone was an instant deal-breaker and signaled a deeper issue she could not ignore.
She described the moment as a major red flag, noting that it showed a disregard for simple rules — something she considers a reflection of a person’s discipline and integrity. For her, this single action was enough to decide that she could not continue seeing him or consider any form of relationship.
Sharing her thoughts, she said:
“I am not close to him. I just went on a date with him about a year before he married Regina Daniels, and I knew he wasn’t for me. He parked his car in a place that clearly stated ‘No Parking’. That was a turn-off.”
Abiodun stressed that her decision had nothing to do with Ned’s wealth, influence, or lifestyle. Instead, it was entirely about character. She noted that a man who casually ignores basic public rules is not someone she wants to entrust her future or values to.
Her revelation comes at a time when the ongoing saga between Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko continues to dominate social media, featuring heated arguments, accusations, and legal complications. Abiodun’s statement has now added a fresh layer to the public discourse, prompting many to reflect on how small actions can reveal a person’s true nature.
Her confession has since attracted massive reactions, with many social media users praising her for choosing principles over luxury and for highlighting the importance of character in relationships.
