Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has recently sparked a range of reactions as she voiced her support for a peaceful protest amidst the ongoing nationwide protests against bad governance.
The actress, who is also the wife of billionaire businessman and senator Ned Nwoko, took to her Instagram page to share a video advocating for a peaceful approach to the protests, which began today, August 1st, 2024.
In her video, Regina Daniels emphasized that the widespread suffering of the masses and their desire for improved living conditions are the main drivers behind the nationwide protests.
