talk2aikay: I have come to realize that most times when people complain, criticise and protest, it is not because they have nobler ideals or mean well. They’re only protesting their exclusion from those that would partake in an agenda. Give them a chance to be a part of it and they’ll sing a different song.
You are right. Why complain when you are not a member. She is just busybody looking for cheap publicity.
Enemyofpeace: Rubbish. How many of their members that burned childrens did they visited, but because this one that burned a children is married to a reach man they decided to go and visit him because they know that the husband must give them kola and transport money. Bunch of hungry people. Vickyrotex iya wa abi kini mo wi?
paulsaint975: There is no construction site near me. I have look for jobs but nothing, they keep telling me that they are not fully resume. Just pray not to be in my situation. Do you think I am happy begging, I don't want it no more because it didn't help solve my problem that is the reason why I want to start a business so I can live well. I need money from good hearted people to start this,I can't steal to live for it is never me. Just understand the current situation of Nigeria and help us that want to live legally.
Reach out to the members of your church/Mosque/Shrine - if they don't help then preach to them.
thats the height of our hypocrisy as a Nation and citizens of this Corntree
leaculpa: This AGN no get work. if Regina daniels husband wasn't RICH, they wouldn't visit her. How many actresses did they visit in the past to congratulate on giving birth? Nigerians roasted them well on instablog.
espn: See long message just to defend nonsense... They wont visit a poor nollywood member who put to bed...Hungry people...Visit her for what...OLE they want envelope...That's how they will DM hushpuppi and beg for money. All of them took off as soon as he was confirmed arrested.
I was also stunned at the long reply. Na guilty conscience dey worry them.

You just mirrored my thoughts. I keep saying it most of the times I see some people complain.

Haaaaaa. Did you construct all these sentences for a purpose? I hope you say yes 'cos if this is you speaking English the way you know how to, then, you need to step out of NL for a while and get a grasp of your brain.
see JAMB question o. You are a woman and you're asking me how women are burning childrens, what kind of question is that? Have you not sinned where childrens were burned before?

muchroom: Kemi Lala should build Bridges and not burn them. I hope not all "Kemis"are troublesome like this? Regina has been very open, kind and warm to her colleagues even in the music industry and so has her spouse. It's not a bad thing if the actors reciprocate their good will. Her suggestions about other things the AGN can be doing is well said but does not have to come at the expense of pulling down that which they did.

This is probably one of the best comments I have read in my 13 yrs on Nairaland
muchroom: The Actors Guild of Nigeria AGN, have replied actress Kemi Akindoju, who earlier today blasted the leadership of the association after they paid a visit to actress, Regina Daniels, and her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko to congratulate them on their new born. Kemi's posts are below in case you missed it.
In a statement released this night, Monalisa Chinda Coker, the Director of Communications of the AGN, said ordinarily the organization would not dignify Lala's ''repugnant and uninformed comment'' but it is compelled to explain the reason the some members visited Regina and her husband.
Read the statement below
''Our attention has been drawn to an unsavoury statement by An Actress though not an AGN Member. Kemi Lala Akindoju on social media about the visit of the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria to Mrs Regina Daniel Nwoko, one of our members who recently gave birth to a baby.
Ordinarily, the AGN would not dignify such repugnant, uninformed comment with any response. In this case however, it is important to correct a few impressions without joining issues with a non-member of the guild. And we also advise you crosscheck your facts before making allusions.
The simple intent is to establish our position and intimate the public on our policy direction and efforts of the present leadership to extend genuine care for every member of the guild.
1.An actor's registration as a member instantly confers on him or her the privileges due to members which includes protection in their professional quests, welfare packages in their moments of need, celebration of their triumphs and many more.
2. Since assuming office, the current leadership of the Guild has prioritised courtesy visits to majority of her indisposed members across the country, offering moral and financial support since assuming office.
3. AGN has established a dedicated line and email for reports of sexual harassment and abuse cases in line of duty. AGN is also in strategic partnership with relevant agencies to counsel and persecute violations against any of our members.
4. AGN has introduced a highly credible Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) to take good care of their health issues of all registered members.
5. AGN recently participated actively in two funeral rites of our dearly beloved members that passed on, Patience Oseni in Calabar and Ukwuak Asuquo, in Abuja. We remain completely committed to catering for all members irrespective of status or religion.
Once again, we therefore reaffirm our commitment to professionalism and unbridled responsibility to the welfare of our members.
It is the crystal goal of the Emeka Ejezie Rollas led Executive to bring about lasting change in and transformation of the industry as a whole.
We will remain undaunted and we will deliver the goods to our esteemed members. Finally, it is expedient to add that visiting Mrs. Nwoko was not just ordinary but significant for us because beyond holding the leadership of our noble Guild in the highest esteem, she also reached out to us to break the good news upon delivery of her bouncing baby boy.
It is also pertinent to note that Mrs. Nwoko’s Mother, Rita Daniel is the able Vice President, South South in the current executive council of the Guild.
Her husband, Rt. Hon. Prince Ned Nwoko is the current Chairman, National Board of Patrons of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
This makes it absolutely germaine for the National President, who arrived Abuja on an official assignment to make time out for courtesy and congratulatory visit to a committed guild member.
The National President is also scheduled to reach out to other members who have various health challenges and reach out to the vulnerables with palliatives.

Thank you. Monalisa Chinda Coker Director of communications AGN.
What a mature way to answer critics, just lay it bare before them what you have done without throwing tantrums back. Grand Patron of AGN and actress wife deserved the visit.
She made a very good point. Does AGN visit every artist who puts to bed and does it publicize as such. This is the usual Nigerian problem - Money worship

Wish they cld do the same for ailing members, but it's sad they don't. Muna obiekwe (blessed memory) who needed help for dialysis was neglected and so many others.
