Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has slammed the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, for saying she needs help.
Kemi Filani reported hours ago that Emeka had weighed in on Regina Daniels’ marital issues. He called out his colleagues in the entertainment industry for remaining silent over Regina’s erratic behaviour.
He recalled two incidents involving the actress and mentioned the names of his colleagues, who were present at the time, stating that it would be unfair for them to remain silent.
Reacting to his statement via her Instagram story, Daniels called him a disgrace of a president, claiming he visits one office after another, enriching his pocket in the guise of catering to the well-being of actors.
She further claimed Rollas’ bitterness against her is because she stopped him from bringing women to her home to take swimming lessons. According to her, Rollas’s achievement as the president of the guild is to visit the homes of high-profile men with women.
She made him know that he has no business spewing nonsense about his family or her mother, who always sang his praises, but she wouldn’t.
“AGN president.
Respectfully, there must be something wrong with you, sir! To say I need help? You have no business spewing nonsense about my family, of my mum, who always sang your praises, but I wouldn’t. Because, as an established actor, from childhood to my prime, having witnessed your inauguration in my early years, I say you are a disgrace of a president who visits one office to the other, enriching his pocket in the guise of catering to the well-being of actors.
If not, tell me why you haven’t enforced anything on actors’ protection and residuals in 8 years. The only notable impact on the guild is the office you opened recently, after 7 years, and much criticism from people, which my family were a major sponsor of.
Well, I’m not shocked because that’s how you get paid – bringing women to my family home several times, taking swimming lessons, which I warned you about, hence your bitterness.
Actually, that’s what you’ve always done to the high-profile men you visit to lure them with women, so your pocket can get bigger.
What happened to the fatherly figure I admired solely because of the respect and devotion my mum had for you? I already know, so I can say for a fact that you were paid chicken change to speak nonsense about a child who benefited from nothing under your administration. Instead, I gave you the biggest honour you have through my ex-husband and mother, so you should be thankful to my mother for introducing you to him.
I’m still in awe that you would try to discredit my mother’s election and diminish her efforts after all she has done for you. In support of my mother’s election, I believe she has paid her dues in the industry and would make a perfect figurehead to represent actors.
Take it or leave it.
For a movie industry with the beauty that comes with the understanding of being on screen needs a beautiful female president with advanced male advisors to take us to any level in society”.
