Regina Daniels Addresses Violence Amid Protests
After facing backlash for commenting on nationwide protests, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has reiterated her stance and addressed the ongoing violence in northern Nigeria. On August 7, 2024, Daniels took to Instagram, dressed in conservative attire, to speak to her followers about the escalating unrest, emphasizing her opposition to violence. She began, “Hello everyone, do you see what is happening in the north? See them hoisting the Russian flag; is this what we want? Mind you, if it’s in the north, it can get to you.”
Daniels responded to criticism she received for her previous comments, addressing accusations that her perspective was influenced by her privilege as a senator’s wife. “I preached against violence, and ignorant Nigerians said it’s because I’m privileged and opportune. Yes, I am privileged and opportune, but that doesn’t stop me from understanding that my nannies need to be paid extra. My gateman and cooks need to be catered for because of insecurity,” she asserted.
She continued, “The point remains that Nigeria cannot be changed by one man. I am not speaking for the government, nor am I speaking for you people to love me—I don’t need it. I am just stating the obvious truth. The earlier we realize that this protest is turning into something else, the better for us all.”
This statement comes amid nationwide protests against bad governance in Nigeria, which began on August 1, 2024, and have turned violent in some states.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
