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, Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas and singer-Irene Logan have also spoken out…
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.
See her tweets below…
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 was hoping one of them will take the Initiative and actually start a campaign. Yes, the others are copycats. Instead of wasting time criticizing them, Joselyn, why dont u start the hand washing campaign u mentioned to actually prove a point. The back n forth rants on Twitter n Facebook are useless.
“ranting” on social media is also a campaign….its not just actions but also words can help create an awareness…but true though, we have to put our words in action….
You are actually right, back up the criticism with your own actions ms. Dumas
As for this one, I 100% agree with Miss Dumas.
Whatever Dumas says doesn’t even have to make sense… See her bottos. Her breasts. See her hips. That’s all the sense she needs to make.
lmaoooooooooooooooooooo ajeii *dead* lmaoooo
There’s a reason why I’ve liked these two ladies for years…Thanks Joce and Irene…these so called celebs are clowns….Lou Gehrig’s Disease although serious, is not that serious among other serious issues affecting our ppl
They cldnt hve said it any better
It’s revealed how some celebs are angry n disgusted for me after seeing my pic of how overwhelming the spell Kalsoume Sinare casted on me looks like. It’s amazing how God has blinded me from seeing it. But some acquaintances told me what it is. Especially my friend actor, whose encounter with me was wen we hav to share the same hotel room with another male writer for two days at location bcoz all rooms were not available apparenlty.
My personal message to all Gh & US celebs who sympathize with me is to ask Almighty God to keep loving and protecting me in his Infinite Grace…coz kalsoume hv tried one too many times to kill me but to kno avail.
Is not easy living thru this without immense love from God. I could simply ask God to take away her breath n that will happen in the blink of an eye, but that’s not what i want! i want her to live to see that Jesus Christ can undo what she has done to me!
Kalsoume does not deserve true love & smiles bcoz she doesn’t have a heart.
Like King David, i say, May Heaven keep records of all her deeds n never erase them. Amen!
So who the hell are you? Be bold and face these challenges than hiding behind your pc with this cock and bull stories. Enough about your witchcraft talks, if you believe someone is after you and your colleague go on the knees and pray than this drama.
U hv already been taken care of! See the sign soon
SAMIRA YAKUBU, ur toy witchcraft can’t do nothing! You an accomplice to the killing of suzzy williams so keep off b4 this gets bitter for u to swallow! Rawlings, they killed ur daughter by drugging her drink with cock n injecting her with cock, inside penta hotel in Osu thru her two weeks liberian refugee boyfriend, n made away with her $20, 000 frm the car, but there’s more details as to how exactly the accident was framed…I will make u proud Rawlings coz something is coming out soon. I will put the fourth person’s name here if she disturbs me spiritually as these ugly two are doing. if they won’t give me peace, they won’t get either. You hv no right whatsoever to cast that stupid spell on me coz i never wronged u in any way! this suzzy’s secret would hv forever remain a secret without that stupid spell. now u kno. I’m here to stop u n ur ple from abusing n destroying ple with the gift of love..
it dose not take somebody to start a challenge. YOU, African celebrity can star a challenge. The guy who started the ice bucket challenge was not even a celeb. So I really don’t understand why all these Africans are complaining about!!! You have many problems in Africa, ok, then help create awareness! Or are you waiting for the white men to do it, only to complain about how the white men sees Africa?!?!
Whoever wrote this article needs more education..its ALS..not ASL..come on mehn..
