Social media commentator, Very Dark Man (VDM), has once again stirred widespread online debate after resurfacing an old video of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, in which she criticized protesters demonstrating against bad governance in Nigeria. The video, which has gone viral following VDM’s repost, has reignited conversations about the actress’s past remarks and her public image in relation to social and political issues.
In the clip, Regina was seen condemning a group of protesters who displayed a Russian flag in northern Nigeria. She warned that such actions could potentially influence similar protests in southern Nigeria. Her comments, intended to caution against divisive demonstrations, have resurfaced in the context of her ongoing personal and marital challenges, drawing renewed scrutiny from social media users.
VDM’s Criticism of Regina Daniels
While sharing the throwback video on X (formerly Twitter), VDM mocked Regina, referring to her as the “it’s better to cry in a Lambo” girl, a nod to a previous viral statement by the actress. VDM emphasized that Regina’s criticisms of the protesters appeared out of touch, given that the same people she mocked had faced hardships due to the policies and actions of her husband and other politicians. He wrote: “Throwback video of ‘it’s better cry-in-a-Lambo’ insulting protesters, the innocent Nigerians her husband and other politicians made life difficult and unbearable for. She deserved everything she’s getting. This is Karma.”
Regina’s Past Remarks and Context
In the original video, Regina made it clear that she was not speaking on behalf of the government, nor did she expect Nigerians to love her for her stance. She stressed that she did not seek public adoration or approval, a point that adds nuance to VDM’s critique. Nonetheless, the resurfaced clip has sparked debates about the implications of celebrity statements on social and political issues, particularly when the public perceives them as insensitive or disconnected from everyday struggles.
Netizens React to VDM’s Post
The post by VDM has elicited a wide range of reactions from social media users, highlighting divided opinions on Regina’s past statements. Some users expressed sympathy and urged forgiveness, while others supported VDM’s critique as a reflection of accountability for public figures. A few notable reactions include:
User @D_emo_3 pleaded for understanding, writing, “Make una forgive am for this, she no know watin she dey talk.”
User @Sanchman made light of the situation, commenting, “I’m counting my money I can’t hear you and now is pounds lol 😂.”
Another user, @DarekJaden, stated, “Karma is a bitch🤣🤣🤣 Abeg make una leave am make she dey cry for Lambo🤣🤣🤣.”
Social media user Lady Victoria emphasized the personal nature of the issue, noting, “Wetin poor man pikin like me wan do for rich man’s wife? Nothing. Make she dey go back her husband’s house. She was very comfortable here. All these are just husband and wife fights and they’ll definitely settle.”
The resurfacing of the video and the ensuing reactions illustrate the power of social media in shaping public perceptions and holding celebrities accountable for past statements, especially when those statements touch on sensitive social or political issues. Regina’s remarks, VDM’s commentary, and the public’s divided reactions underscore the complex relationship between celebrity influence, social responsibility, and audience interpretation in contemporary Nigeria.
