Outspoken Nollywood critic, Charles Novia is not a happy man because
most Nigerian celebrities are suffering from second class mentality. He hinged his argument on the decision of entertainment stars in the
country such as Mavin boss, Don Jazzy, Nollywood Diva, Genevieve Nnaji,
Project Fame revelation, Iyanya, sensation half of singing duo, Psquare,
Peter Okoye among others to join the Ice Bucket Challenge, stressing
that their action demonstrate their inferiority complex and eagerness to
follow the path of Western celebs. He urged them to re-channel their energy to campaign against diseases and challenges in Nigeria such as the Ebola Virus Disease.
It will be recalled that Don Jazzy, Davido, Genevieve, Inyanya, Peter Okoye have taken part in the Ice Bucket challenge.

The Ice bucket challenge is an activity involving dumping a bucket of
ice water on one’s head or donating to the ALS Association in the United
States. It went viral throughout social media during the Northern
Hemisphere summer of 2014.

into ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a form of motor neurone
disease) and in the UK to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease
Association and Macmillan Cancer Support.
But braving freezing water is not enough, a small donation is also
expected and so far #icebucketchallenge has raised more than $22.9
million for charity.

After an icy soaking the participant then nominates two or three further
people to undertake the challenge within 24 hours. Those who forfeit
the challenge must donate a larger sum of money to a good cause.
