“Today is August 1, the first day of the national protests in Nigeria. We all know that the people are suffering and want a better way of life, which is why they are protesting. There is nothing wrong with protesting, but there is everything wrong with violence,” she began.

The actress continued, “Once violence gets involved, it undermines the entire purpose of the protests. I urge everyone to try and make this protest as peaceful as possible.”

Despite her good intentions, her video was met with disapproval from many Nigerians, who told her to remove the video.

“Take the video down, you’re too young to advise your elders. If the country was good, you wouldn’t have married your grandfather,” said an outraged Instagram user in the comment section.

Others criticized Daniels for speaking on the protest while being married to wealthy Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko, emphasizing that she does not understand the struggles of the masses.
