Celebrity Donations to Houston: What Nigerian Celebrities Can't Do To Help Their Dying Fans



The disastrous Hurricane Harvey has crushed the Gulf Coast, claiming lives and flooding huge parts of Texas urban communities like Houston. What's more, now, individuals everywhere throughout the world are venturing up to help the casualties of the gigantic tempest.

Various celebrities are going to the guide of casualties in Houston, Texas, who have encountered annihilation after Hurricane Harvey.

As per The New York Times, no less than 13 people have died with Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas calling the tempest "one of the largest disasters America has ever faced." Thousands have been set in covers as alleviation and help endeavors continue. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo shared that he's "really worried about how many bodies we’re going to find."




As relief efforts continue, celebrities like Beyoncé and Kevin Hart have vowed to assist the Texas city and more joining their campaign, sending messages and gifts.

Atleast, 30+ celebs has demonstrated enthusiasm to help with The Kardashian Family drawing out an entire $500, 000, Chris Brown $100, 000, Nicki Minaj, Drake, DJ Khaled, T.I, Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" with $25, 000 each thus numerous huge names. Kevin Hart's campaign donation is near $1M now while J.J. Watt's is presently $3M.

These big names are doing this since they realize that those individuals associated with the catastrophe are their fans. Fans that get things going for them at whatever point anything that worries them is being done. It doesn't generally make a difference who's fan it is or who got harmed, what is important is that they adore and esteem everybody as they do to themselves.



In any case, coming to Nigeria, it is all different. Nigerian celebrities "barely" open their eyes to see what their fans are going through, not understanding the fact that these individuals that are confronting this present issue are the general population that pay to watch them perform. Fans that will argue A-Z about Wizkid superior to Davido and Davido superior to Wizkid, fans that lighten up their social media pages with cherishing posts and make them enthusiastic. Indeed, fans they can't do without.

I could at present recall when that enormous flood came in 2012 in Nigeria, what people passed through yet at the same time just help from The Government was what they could get. Nigerian big names care-less with regards to the torments of their fans and all they can do is to snap out the world simply to refresh their grams with heaps of money to display. And they will say they're showing off to motivate their fans. To steal, right?

In any case, I would like to see them learn now and begin doing something significant at whatever point their fans require their open help on squeezing issues.


UPDATE:
This was written when Benue State hasn't been flooded but even now that the situation is like this, what impression have you seen from our honoured celebrities? Let's deliberate.

All these celebrities care about is how their money grow while some fans keep killing themselves even as their own money diminish...... Whether celebrity or not, when some is in need, those who are priviledged should be able to help those who are not

I quite agree with you, Regal.
