Thinking alongside Chris-Vincent’s article which questions the rationale behind the actions of the various African Celebrities who have taken on the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge when they are not donating any money to the cause—and when we have other pressing needs in Africa, Outspoken entertainment Industry critic Charles Novia, Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas and singer-Irene Logan have also spoken out via their twitter handles...........
Charles Novia has taken shots at celebs like Don Jazzy, Genevieve Nnaji, Davido, P-Square’s Peter Okoye, Iyanya and any other Nigerian celeb that has taken part in the latest social media trend…the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
He took to Twitter saying, their actions show their inferiority complex and eagerness to follow the path of Western celebs
Joselyn Dumas took to twitter to say, we have several pressing needs in Africa but our celebrities have decided to jump on the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge, forgetting what our true problems are. She mentioned Malaria, Ebola and others as more serious and close to home than ASL. In fact, she challenged her social media users who did not agree with her message to show her one person who had died instantly of ALS in Africa nd she will show them thousands dying of Malaria each day.
Singer-Irene Logan also had something to say about the way some Ghanaian Celebrities have taken charge of the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge. See what she wrote below…
I have been reporting on latest news from Nigeria for almost 10 years now. I report on every possible news area I come across, but always ensure my reports are compiled with dignity and fact to uphold my personal values and duty as a journalist

My dear brother,may amadioha fire cholera,malaria and ebola into ur life and take away the ASL in ur life! Sometimes it becomes necessary to come really hard on idiotic morons like you so as to discourage other imbeciles writing rubbish on naijapals. Charles is always constructive in his criticism but I doubt if you know the difference between constructive and destructive criticism because you're obviously an absolute illiterate,so I'm gonna come right down to ur level. Wetin Charles dey yarn be say there are more problems and diseases facing our continent Africa wey need urgent awareness,but our so called celebrity leave matter dey tackle mathaeus. Abi no be your forefathers talk say charity begins at home? So next time make u dey think well well b4 you write,you hear? Now apologize make I close the matter. And as for the other idiot wey call himself "freethinker", e dey glaring say na you still be same person! Signing up for a multiple accts to yarn opata and abuse people no go help you. All the same, just go on ur knees and apologize right now!
Life na jeje so just try to take am softly
