She proceeded to\u00a0University of Lagos (UNILAG)\u00a0where she graduated in 1990 with a bachelors in biological sciences (B.Sc. Biology). Askia trained in New York, USA, \u00a0and obtained another Bachelors in Nursing Science from CUNY College of Staten Island, New York and a Masters as a Family Nurse practitioner from Wagner College, Staten Island, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1988, Regina who had transferred from the\u00a0University of Calabar\u00a0to the\u00a0University of Lagos, was crowned\u00a0Miss Unilag. She also worked on several\u00a0runway shows, and in 2007, she modelled for the 2000-N-Six face cleansing range alongside her daughter, model Stephanie Hornecker.\u00a0In 2006, Askia-Williams hosted a charity fashion show at\u00a0Lehman College\u00a0in the Bronx, New York, which displayed the creations of top African designers and her own label\u00a0<em>Regine Fashions<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regina&#8217;s acting break came in 1993, when she played gold-digger &#8220;Tokunbo Johnson&#8221; in the Nigerian soap\u00a0<em>Fortunes<\/em>\u00a0(later\u00a0<em>Mega Fortunes<\/em>) on\u00a0NTA Network, a role which earned her critical acclaim and recognition as a Nigerian actress. As a result, Askia starred in several &#8220;Nollywood&#8221; films during the 1990s and early 2000s, most of which were filmed to be released directly to a wide audience in Nigeria, Tanzania, and Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Manpower<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imaobong Regina Askia Usoro famously known as\u00a0Regina Askia Williams born May 17th,1967 in Lagos State, Nigeria.
