Regina Daniel is 18 today and she chose to celebrate it with some lovely photos.

The well loved actress has within a short period made a name for herself in the Nigerian movie industry and beyond.

Adding to that, Regina’s mother, Rita Daniels who is also a movie star poured out good wishes and prayers for her darling daughter.

She wrote: “No words can tell how much I love you, baby! All the riches of the world wouldn’t make me happier than your smile. Seeing you happy is all I want, Every day I am more and more proud of my life’s accomplishments: a smart, polite, beautiful and caring girl that everyone would love as a daughter. I wish you always remain like that no matter what life brings ahead of you, Every year I come back to the day of your birthday to find you’re a little prettier, sweeter and funnier than last year! Today I have a big present for the biggest present of my life! There are a ton of good things I would like to wish you of, but it all comes down to one important thing: I wish that every year, this very day, when you look back to the past years, there won’t be any regrets for the things you did and- most importantly- for the things you didn’t do. Go on and do what you like, we will always stand by you! Happy birthday my beloved daughter, my pride.”
