So far Genevieve Nnaji,Iyanya,Davido,Donjazzy,Dencia are some Nigerian celebs who have done it and posted a short video about it on Instagram. But a lot of other celebrities have frowned against it. Yvonne Nelson reacted to it a couple of days ago and she said Africa is not America and we should face our own problems.
Charles Novia and Joselyn Dumas aired there views against it….


In Nigeria, stars like Dencia, Oprah, have joined to help raise money for Lou Gehrig’s Disease research. Don Jazzy was has also been nominated before he did his few days ago at the Mavin Headquarters
Although you are meant to nominate just 3 people, Don Jazzy decided to nominate the Mavin Records crew including Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid, D’Prince, Korede Bello, Reekado Banks, Di’Ja, as well as Banky W, Iyanya, Davido, Wizkid, Steve Babaeko and Obi Asika.

ALS is a nasty disease. ALS is classified as an “orphan disease”, since fewer than 200,000 people get the diagnosis annually. The bad news? For those that do, it’s a death sentence – usually within two to five years.
Which brings us back to the Ice Bucket Challenge, now sweeping the social media world. The idea is simple: dump a bucket of cold ice water on your head, and post a video of yourself doing to Facebook, Twitter, etc. – and tag three (or six, or 300) of your closest friends to do likewise, or fork over a donation to the ALS charity of their choice.
Ethel Kennedy did it, and tagged Barack Obama. Martha Stewart did it, and tagged Gwyneth Paltrow. Half of the pro sports teams have participated, most of the major media figures.
Between 29 July and 12 August, the ALS Association has seen donations quadruple from year-ago levels, hitting $4m. Over the same period, they have received gifts from 70,000 new donors
Clearly, the shift from more sober fund-raising approaches – sponsored walks, mailings, and all that – to something, err … splashier is paying off.
