Regina Daniels Slammed For Criticizing Protesters Waving Russian Flags During #EndBadGovernance Demonstrations

Actress Regina Daniels has come under fire from social media users after she shared a video addressing the #EndBadGovernance protests.

On August 7, 2024, Daniels took to her Instagram to express frustration with the protests, particularly criticizing the use of Russian flags and accusing the movement of being hijacked by individuals not committed to peaceful change.

Daniels, who is married to senator Ned Nwoko, defended her stance against the violence seen in the northern regions of Nigeria.

She acknowledged that her status might lead some to view her perspective as privileged but clarified that her remarks were not meant to support the government or seek validation.

Rather, she aimed to denounce the unrest she believes undermines genuine progress.

In her video, Daniels highlighted the complexities of managing security and expenses for her household staff, suggesting that these experiences give her insight into the challenges of achieving stability.

She argued that transformation in Nigeria cannot happen instantly or through the efforts of one person alone.

Despite her intentions, Daniels faced significant backlash from Nigerians who felt her comments were out of touch with the realities of their struggles.

Critics in the comment section suggested that as a senator’s wife, she may not fully understand the depth of the public’s suffering, and they condemned her for speaking out against the protests.
