A Nigerian businessman has finally spoken out after confirming that popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has paid him the money he earlier accused her of owing. The incident, which drew significant attention online, began when the businessman, who runs a car hire company in Abuja, claimed that the actress failed to complete a payment for services rendered.
Initial Accusation Against Regina Daniels
According to the businessman, identified on TikTok as @mroluseyi, the controversy started after he provided car hire services to Regina Daniels through his company, Ronaldo Logistics and Car Hire Service. He alleged that the actress owed him a balance of ₦570,000, which she failed to pay despite several attempts to reach her and her assistant. Out of frustration, he decided to share his experience publicly, hoping to get her attention.
The post quickly gained traction on social media, attracting thousands of comments and shares from netizens who sympathized with him. Many users tagged Regina Daniels, urging her to respond and settle the matter, while others criticized the businessman for going public without exhausting private channels.
Regina Daniels Finally Pays the Debt
In a new update, the businessman shared a follow-up video in which he confirmed that Regina Daniels had indeed paid the debt in full. He expressed deep appreciation to everyone who supported him by sharing his post and tagging the actress online. According to him, the attention from the public helped resolve the issue quickly.
He said with relief, “Regina Daniels has finally paid my money. Thank you very much for your concern. This is Ronaldo Logistics and Car Hire Service. I thank everybody for what you people have done for me. After all the matter that happened between me and Regina, she has finally paid the money.”
Businessman Clears the Air on Intentions
Following the payment, the businessman clarified that he had no malicious intent or desire to damage the actress’s image. He emphasized that his only goal was to recover what was owed, especially after all attempts at private communication failed. He stated that both Regina Daniels and her personal assistant had blocked him, leaving him with no choice but to go public.
In his words: “Thanks to all that tag her. Let me clear the air. Nobody paid me to tarnish anyone’s image. I came online because every other means of contact failed. I was blocked by her and by her PA, and there was no other way to reach them. As a businessperson, I only came out to demand what was rightfully ours. We provided a service, and payment was delayed. Going public was the only option left.”
He Distances Himself from Regina’s Personal Life
He further explained that his post had nothing to do with Regina Daniels’ marriage or personal affairs, noting that his issue was strictly professional. “This was never about her personal life or her marriage. It was strictly business. I don’t know her husband personally. I only know I was hired for a service and expected to be paid,” he said.
Lesson for Small Business Owners
Concluding his message, the businessman encouraged other small business owners to stand up for themselves when treated unfairly, while also urging clients to respect service providers. He reminded people that small businesses work hard for every kobo they earn and deserve to be treated with honesty and fairness.
He added: “Now that the payment has been made, we’ve moved on in peace. I respect everyone involved, but let’s always remember to treat small businesses with fairness. We work hard for every kobo we earn.”
The situation has since calmed down, with social media users commending the businessman for handling the matter respectfully after receiving his payment and for clarifying his intentions publicly.
