Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels has fired back at critics slamming her for criticising violent protests in the country.
The actress had shared a video on Instagram appealing to protesters not to go violent.
She drew the attention of Nigerians to what has been happening in the North where some persons were spotted hoisting the Russian flag and calling on the Russian government to “come and save them.”
However, she was smitten by critics who said that her position on the protest was because she was married to a Senator.
In her reaction to the criticisms from social media users, the actress has now said, ‘’Hoisting the Russian flag! Is that what we want? Mind you, whatever happens in the North can get to you. I preached against violence and ignorant Nigerians said it is because I am privileged and opportune. Yes, the fact remains that I am privileged and opportune, but that doesn’t stop me from understanding that my nanny needs to be paid extra or that my gateman or my cooks need to be catered for because of insecurity and extra bills to be paid in Nigeria.
“The point remains that Nigeria cannot be changed in a day and not by one man. I am not speaking for the government, neither am I speaking for you people to love me because I don’t need it. I am just stating the obvious fact and that is the truth.
“The earlier we all realize that this protest is turning into something else, the better for us all”
