Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has once again ignited controversy by sharing her views on the ongoing nationwide protest against poor governance in Nigeria.
This latest development has drawn mixed reactions from the public, stirring significant outrage among online users.
Regina Daniels Calls for Peaceful Protests
On the first day of the national protest against bad governance, Regina Daniels had already made headlines by posting a video that encouraged Nigerians to maintain a peaceful approach.
In this initial video, she urged her fellow citizens to choose non-violent methods to express their dissatisfaction with the government’s performance.
Following up on her earlier message, Regina posted another video on her Instagram page. In this new clip, the actress and wife of billionaire Senator Ned Nwoko reiterated her stance and offered additional remarks about the protests.
She emphasized that the responsibility of improving Nigeria cannot rest on a single individual’s shoulders but requires collective effort from all sectors and citizens. Her caption read: “WE ALL WANT A BETTER NIGERIA 🇳🇬 🙏 UNITED WE CAN 🙌.”
Public Backlash and Online Criticism
Despite her call for unity and collective action, Regina Daniels once again faced severe backlash online. Some social media users expressed their anger and frustration with her comments, questioning her understanding and sensitivity towards the plight of ordinary Nigerians.
User @ellagold criticized her message’s complexity, saying, “This English nor too many for people wen dey hungry 😩.”
Another user, @oliviaflava, took a more personal jab, remarking, “The country is bad that’s why you married your father’s mate.”
@divineabulo echoed the sentiment of many frustrated youths, commenting, “You again? You took a bold step in ur life, let the youth take theirs.”
The diverse reactions highlight the tensions and differing perspectives among Nigerians regarding how best to address the country’s issues.
While some appreciate Regina Daniels’ call for peace and collective effort, others feel her affluent background and married status to a much older, wealthy senator might disconnect her from the realities faced by ordinary citizens.
Regina Daniels’ statements have added layers to the ongoing conversations about governance, civic responsibility, and the role of public figures in social movements.
As the protests continue to unfold, it remains clear that emotions are running high, and the public’s patience is wearing thin. Whether Regina’s call for unity will foster any tangible change or merely result in more online outrage remains to be seen.
