Nigeria's top entertainment personalities from Nollywood and the music industry; specifically Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and award-winning singer, Asa (Bukola Elemide) will lead the #StopEbola campaign in a bid to curb the spread of the disease in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
In addition to this, the Future Awards Africa (TFAA) recently revealed plans to involve over one million young African in the campaign.
Joining Genevieve, Omotola and Asa in leading the campaign against Ebola is TFAA Young Person of the Year 2013, Ashish Thakkar.
Other celebrities expected to participate are 2Face, Denrele, Van Vicker, Joselyn Dumas, Lanre Da Silva Ajayi, Dayo Israel, Dakore Akande, Juliet Ibrahim, and Funke Akindele amongst others.
Just 2 days ago, Ebola death rate surpassed 5,000 worldwide.
Below is what Genevieve and Omotola had to say on the campaign
Gevevieve Nnaji
"Ebola has been defeated in Nigeria. This shows that with the will and resources it can be defeated anywhere else. We need to get involved beyond talk and beyond sympathy. As long as it remains anywhere in Africa, we are all at risk, and we can come together to stop this from happening. Join me, and join all of us now on www.stopebola.com.”
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
“This goes to the core of what is important to me, and what should be important to all of us who are very concerned about our continent. Just when the world has begun to pay attention to Africa as a destination for rapid growth and investment, we cannot allow Ebola define the narrative. We need to put a stop to this immediately, and young people need to take the lead.”
