Who cares

Missy_B:
Are you really comparing George's case to this?
This lady did not cut her hair and donate it for wig making for those who lost their hair due to medical conditions, she did not donate a sum of her money to encourage research, she did not initiate a cancer awareness program nor did she encourage fundraising . . .She simply shaved her head. To honor cancer victims? Like, how? How's she more ''creative'' (as you put it) or paying more honor to the victims than Amber Rose to whom it's just a lovely hairstyle?

George left his comfort zone to protest, now that's some effective course of action. His motive could have been to motivate people to do likewise. What is Halima's? Do we all shave our heads so as to ''honor'' the victims? Would she/we continuously shave our heads for as long as they are bald? If not, knowing that ''honoring'' them is that important to their well-being, why honor them shortly, it should be a thing of forever, no?

The question still remains - How does Halima's hairstyle help the victims and/or potential victims?
As earlier said, there are tons of ways to reach out, this isn't one of 'em.


Please, there are a good number of cancer awareness programs out there, the message is being passed across everyday and it is usually presented in a captivating manner. . .If you do not listen to those voices and words, you very much likely won't listen to the non-existent message Halima's extraordinarily round head is passing across either.

Disappointed...

IN addition to Mcbab's contribution, it is a sacrificial giving kinda thing, it has been happening a lot in the Western world for yonks, and it has an impressive track record with celebrities knocking themselves out to partake in such, so i guess Nigeria is just catchimg up to it. Some people volunteer to run marathons, some go bungee jumping, some climb mountains, some shave off locks of their hair, some dye their hair a funny colour, or do whatever floats their boats... This is done in conjunction with Cancer and other charities to promote their cause so how can it be an insensitive thing to do, and it attracts financial donations too in addition to the awareness it creates :-/

Thank u and Mcbab... I wonder y it is so difficult for us to think in naija. Like someone said, it's only when a relative of ours is involved dat we react to issues like this... So pathetic...
