TRENDING:Coerce goodwill out of Nigerian Celebrities!

So, its a new dawn.They say the only constant thing in life is change.This change should be expected in all of life's endevours.

 However,when change becomes a competition,or forced,it is questionable.Yes,call me insensitive.Maybe life's occurrences has made me a little more hardened.

 Last week,a beautiful promising young lady was on the brink of death.Her name,Funmi Lawal.The #SaveFunmi# Campaign was born. No! Lest I forget,there was a young bright man,Meka.An OAP with Rythm Fm who needs7 million Naira for a kidney transplant.His pleas at raising funds didnt really shake or move Nigerians.

Then Funmi took over and in less than a week,we had generous donations from the likes of Donjazzy, Tonto Dikeh & Rukky Sanda.

Just when Nigerians were thanking God for Funmi's life,another beautiful,promising girl Debbie was hit hard by the dreaded breast cancer.Then we started seeing snippets of the #SaveDebbie# campaign.By this morning,twitter,facebook,BBM and all networking sites had been overtaken with the fight for this girl's life.

Then came the THREATS.I call them threats because I noticed celebrities were being coerced into donating to this cause.Insults were being thrown at a few of them.Notably,Dbanj,Davido,Omotola,Genevieve etc.

Ruggedman who was the first celebrity to identify with the #savedebbie# cause was worse hit as a rumor found its way that he donated the sum of 5,000 naira as against the 85,000 he is said to have donated.Do I need to describe the level of insults rained at him?It got me thinking,should a celeb's contribution be weighed by how much he gives out? Do they have to be coerced into donating to a cause.?

Whether Davido N1million donation was borne out of pressure or gave out of his free will is not the issue.Debbie is N1million closer to her set goal of 6M.

I call on all of us to be civilized and respect the right of each Nigerian,celebrity or not.If we spent the time we use in raining insults at others to take a bike to the bank and pay in that 1,000 naira,Debbie,Meka and the thousand other Nigerians who are in need of help would be where they ought to be by now(receiving treatment).

So,why not remove the log from your eye before the speck in another's? Why not do your own part in helping the needy and keep quiet if you cant?Why not direct your insults at those who divert billions of naira meant to improve our health sector to their personal accounts?

The people causing this rancor are not even doing anything to help.You are building a hateful and spiteful attitude in celebs who even wanted to donate in the first place.

Lets not spoil the chances of others who might need help in future.You don't force donations out of people.

In the meantime.PLS #SAVE DEBBIE
