Celebrated Nigerian comedienne, Emmanuella Samuel, has debunked speculations that billionaire Ned Nwoko proposed marriage to her.
Rumours are rife that the politician, married to Regina Daniels, was attempting to wed the kid sensation. Emmanuella is only 11 years old.
The drama started on Friday, July 8, when a post by a Twitter user @PHCJagaban alleging that the philanthropist asked Emmanuella’s hand in marriage, sparked outrage and angry reactions from social media users who found the post offensive.

“Ned Nwoko is currently in talks with Emmanuella’s family over a marriage proposal list, though the fee was undisclosed owing to family refusal.
“Ned is prepared to make another offer that will see Emmanuella being transferred from Port Harcourt to Asaba via a marriage deal”, it reads.
However, in a reaction to a Facebook comment on her post, the content creator debunked the news, describing it as “fake”.
Peace Samuel wrote: “I don’t know how true it is. That Ned Nwoko is already receiving a marriage list from your parents.
“Pls if true…please don’t spoil your future. U don’t know what marriage is”, the fan added.
In her response, Emmanuella stated: “Fake news ma, Thanks.”
Born July 22, 2010, Emmanuella is one of the most popular wonderkids in Africa, with more than 16 million social media followers.
