News: Charles Novia Blasts Genevieve Nnaji, Don Jazzy et al For Taking The #ALSIceBucketChallenge

The Internet has been flooded with viral videos of celebrities dousing themselves with buckets of ice cold water to raise money for charity. While some Nigerian celebs have also taken to the trend, ace filmmaker Charles Novia has shut it down as ‘irritating’.
In a series of tweets, Novia said: "I am sorry to say but our Nigerian Artists are something else at times."

I am sorry to say but our Nigerian Artistes are something else at times. The Ice bucket thing for ALS is a good example of their cootishness

They just want to trend on what foreign artistes do for a good cause. In Nigeria, they do it mostly for self-serving photo - ops. Sheesh!

I'm sure most Naija artistes pouring tepid water on themselves think ALS means another new version of an SUV from the look of their pics

Really! Must you do it because it's trending? If you must follow the USA lead, then come together for Ebola. Dove tail on that.

Enough of this second - class mentality. Find the originality for positivity in your inner recesses. Don't do it cos Dre or Beyonce did it.
