A cinematographer, Jude Eze, has reacted to Regina Daniels’ plead for help from Nigerians while resurrecting a past comment from the actress, on her response to the 2020 police brutality protests in Nigeria.
In a now-viral post, Jude shared a screenshot of Regina Daniels’ October 2020 tweet, where she seemingly mocked Nigerians protesting police brutality.
Jude Eze wrote: “One thing I like about the dysfunction of Nigeria is that it doesn’t discriminate. It comes for everybody eventually, one way or the other, no matter who you are.”

He went on, “October 2020, when we were protesting against police brutality and bad governance, Regina Daniels set up her tripod, camera and ring light not to lend her voice to the struggle of young Nigerians like herself simply demanding our basic human rights, but to reprimand us for protesting like we were children.”
“She even mocked us. Because she couldn’t relate to our struggles, because she felt she was part of the elites, because she thought the problems of ordinary peasants will never be her problem; because she was literally in bed with the opps (pun intended).
“Today the same Regina is on the internet crying for help from the same Nigerians she mocked for the same police brutality we were protesting against.
“Today the dysfunction of the Nigerian system has caught up with her and she finally feels what we feel. But who will protest with her now?
“Poetic justice innit?”
Regina Daniels has been seeking help from Nigerians to secure the release of her brother, who was arrested allegedly due to her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko’s, influence.
