Regina Daniels fires back after receiving hard knocks from critics over comments on nationwide protests

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has taken to social media to fire back after receiving hard knocks from critics over comments on nationwide protests against bad governance.
Recall that the actress, in a post shared on her official Instagram page while sharing her thoughts on the protests, condemned acts of violence carried out by some protesters.
“Today is August 1, the first day of the national protests in Nigeria. We all know that the masses are suffering and want a better living, hence the protest. There is nothing wrong with protesting, but there is everything wrong with violence,” she began.
“Once violence gets involved, it defeats the whole purpose of the protests. I urge everyone to try and make this protest as peaceful as possible.” The thespian wrote on Instagram.
The comments made by the actress were met with disdain by some critics on social media who berated her for making such comments knowing fully well that she is married to a billionaire and does not necessarily feel the suffering of the masses.

@empress_official_2: Madam I don’t think you are qualified to give anyone advise now! If Nigeria was better, will you marry your ancestor for survival?!
“Take the video down, you’re too young to advise your elders, if the country was good you wouldn’t marry your grandfather,” said an outraged Instagram user in the comment section.
“You? Advise Nigerians??Omorrr ������No be your fault sha….If no be Ned, you for still Dey do Spider-Man for Asaba,” commented another user.
In reaction to the comments targeted at her by critics, Regina in a video shared on Instagram on Wednesday, drew the attention of Nigerians to what has been happening in the North where some persons have been hoisting the Russian flag and calling on the Russian government to “come and save them.”
In the video, while Asking if this is what Nigerians want, the actress 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’s 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 gate man 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.
