“Ebola has been defeated in Nigeria,”said Nnaji who has actively supported causes including the Pink Ball againstcancer. “This shows that with the will and resources it can be defeatedanywhere else. We need to get involved beyond talk and beyond sympathy. As longas it remains anywhere in Africa, we are all at risk, and we can come togetherto stop this from happening. Join me, and join all of us now on www.stopebola.com.”
“This goes to the core of what isimportant to me, and what should be important to all of us who are veryconcerned about our continent,” said Jalade-Ekeinde, who has been spokespersonfor Amnesty International and the United Nations. “Just when the world hasbegun to pay attention to Africa as a destination for rapid growth andinvestment, we cannot allow Ebola define the narrative. We need to put a stopto this immediately, and young people need to take the lead.”
