Actress Regina Daniels and her mother Rita Daniels have donated N600k to bedridden filmmaker Reginald Ebere.
Rita disclosed this to her colleagues on the set of the sequel of the 2001 hit film Isakkaba, written by Reginald and directed by Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen.
The cash gift was announced after actor Sam Dede called for support on behalf of Reginald who has been battling with stroke. Reginald became ill after he slumped on a movie set in 2018.
In the recent video shared on Instagram by actress Iyabo Ojo, Sam said: “Reginald Ebere wrote the very first script of Issakaba and incidentally it was I who changed the name of the lead character to Ebube. Today Reginald Ebere is best ridden. He suffered stroke two times but very strong-willed person. He is still moving on but he is a bad shape, If you live in that concept of truth and justice, please let us find a way to support Reginald Ebere.” If there is anything you can do to support him, please look him up to support him.”
Lancelot immediately organised a fundraiser on set and many of his colleagues donated money to the actor. Sam Dede and Lancelot donated N100k each to the sick actor.
As the donation went on, Rita announced that her daughter promised to give the movie director N500k. Regina’s voice could also be heard in a phone conversation with Rita in which she stated the amount she wished to donate.
Rita also donated N100k to the ailing filmmaker, making it a total of N600k.
