For her birthday, Regina Daniels, a Nollywood actress, has chosen to do something very special: she is giving ₦10 million to 10 of her fans.
The act, which she posted about on her Instagram page, has since earned her a lot of praise from fans and coworkers.
The mother of two wrote an emotional post in which she said she hadn't been this excited about her birthday in six years.
She said that her excitement for personal events slowly faded after marrying into the Nwoko family because birthdays were not very important to them. She said that this year's party was different because she had found her love for marking important events in her life again.
She said that the happiness of being a mother, the support of her family, and her own growth made her want to enjoy herself and the people who have helped her along the way.
From private thoughts to public kindness
Regina talked about how her journey has changed her into a more thoughtful and balanced person, which has helped her understand how important it is to be thankful.
She said that becoming a mother changed her goals and taught her to value the little things while still keeping her happy, youthful energy.
She said that her choice to give back wasn't something she did out of the blue, but rather something she has grown to love doing for herself. "I've been enjoying doing something for a while now," she wrote, adding that giving gifts to people who follow her online has become her way of showing love and happiness.
The actress said she was amazed at how much she has grown mentally and spiritually. "You know, this past year has shown me that God has so much planned for me," she said, calling herself a young woman who is "carrying generations while building her own."
Online responses to a ₦10 million giveaway
When Regina said she wanted to make "ten people millionaires," it got a lot of attention online right away. In what she called a symbolic act of sharing happiness and good fortune, she said each of the 10 lucky fans would get ₦1 million.
Fans were thrilled as soon as they heard the news, and they flooded her comment section with birthday wishes and words of thanks.
Regina, who is still one of the most important actors in Nigerian film industry, thanked her fans at the end of her post for being there for her through different times in her life.
