Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, joined in commemorating Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary with nostalgic childhood memories of how the day was celebrated while she was growing up.
In a video shared on her social media, the actress reflected on the excitement that used to fill the streets on October 1, as children dressed in green and white to mark the occasion.
She said: “Nigeria is 65. That’s a big number, older than my husband. I remember those days when it’s Independence — every kid on the street is flooded, myself dressed in green, everyone doing their march past, singing national anthem. I just hope it’s still the same, the joy to celebrate your country.”
Daniels further recalled the patriotic atmosphere that surrounded the holiday, with schools gathering to sing the national anthem in unison — memories she says she still cherishes.
In a lighthearted moment, the mother of two attempted to sing the anthem in the video but amusingly forgot the last lines, sparking laughter from her followers.
