My Thoughts on African Celebrities & the ALS Bucket Challenge | $22.9 Million Raised So Far

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

I do not want to write a whole article on this because I will basically give these attention seekers what they really want—-ATTENTION.

African celebrities have so much time on their hands, especially those Nigerians and Ghanaians. Most of these people sit on social media looking for attention, taking the piss out of positive causes like ALS, the Ice Bucket Challenge when they know nothing about the disease, the campaign, the ethical issues and challenges ALS drug testing is raising among other things…

Importantly, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is to raise money and therefore if you are not donating any money to ALS, you cannot take part in the damn campaign. But once again, the attention seekers with nothing to do with their lives have jumped on it, pouring hot water on themselves and taking the damn piss.

What kind of nonsense is this? If indeed they want to take part in raising awareness about something, what happened to the long standing Malaria? Ebola, Boko Haram, Girl Child Education, Child Labour and the many issues we have hovering over our heads as Africans?

Can some of these attention seekers find something to do with their lives? Send this to your friends by sharing the post and let’s end the nonsense.

So far the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Ice Bucket Challenge which Corey Griffin helped to go viral has raised $22.9 million—and this has been possible because of the donations, not simply because some attention seekers are pouring water on themselves.
