Popular Nollywood actress and mother of two, Regina Daniels, has been heavily criticized for sharing a video of her sons storing the newly designed naira notes in a piggy bank.
She had explained on her official Instagram page that she loves saving money in a piggy bank and was trying to teach her sons the same habit.
The mother of two boys, Munir and Khalifa, then bought two piggy banks to teach them how to save money.
She posted a video of her helping them fold the new naira notes into the piggy bank and said she can’t wait to see their excitement when they open the piggy bank in December.
The mother of two wrote in the caption:
“Anyone that knows me, knows my love for piggy bank savings. And now, I’ve got my boys on board, it’s not too early for them to adopt the habit of saving.. although Kharl is but it’s okay… I can’t wait for the excitement when we finally open our piggy bank at the end of the year.”
The video sparked outrage on social media, with internet users berating her for being insensitive to the plight of average Nigerians suffering the current naira shortage.
