Nollywood actress and politician Rita Daniels has received two new vehicles from her daughter, Regina Daniels, ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Rita announced the gift on Instagram, revealing that Regina bought her a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Toyota Hilux at a time she was facing transportation difficulties.
“My Val came early! Everyone come and rejoice with me oo. My heart is full,” she wrote.
She explained that one of the cars Regina previously bought for her was involved in an accident, while the only remaining vehicle she used was later taken away. According to her, she initially struggled to inform her daughter about the situation.
“So short story: It took me a while to tell my daughter I didn’t have means of movement because of the situation she’s in… the other car she bought for me was involved in an accident, the remaining one I was using was taken away but guess what? My daughter bought me these two! Eeh! Nwam Daalu sor. Thank you my forever pride @regina.daniels,” she added.
A video accompanying the post showed Rita dancing beside the vehicles.
Regina Daniels, who began acting as a child, remains one of Nollywood’s most visible figures, with a strong presence in film and on social media.
