“Join us now” says Genevieve

 “This is important” says Omotola

The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) has announced the leading influencers 

for its global campaign to pool 1 million young Africans to act against 

Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The #StopEbola campaign will 

be led by TFAA Young Person of the Year 2013, Ashish Thakkar and Africa’s leading creative icons - Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Paris-based Asa Elemide.











“This goes to the core of what is important to me, and what should be 

important to all of us who are very concerned about our continent,” said 



Jalade-Ekeinde, who has been spokesperson for Amnesty International and 

the United Nations. “Just when the world has begun to pay attention to 

Africa as a destination for rapid growth and investment, we cannot allow 

Ebola define the narrative. We need to put a stop to this immediately, 

and young people need to take the lead.”













“Ebola has been defeated in Nigeria,” said Nnaji who has actively 

supported causes including the Pink Ball against cancer. “This shows 

that with the will and resources it can be defeated anywhere else. We 

need to get involved beyond talk and beyond sympathy. As long as it 

remains anywhere in Africa, we are all at risk, and we can come together 

to stop this from happening. Join me, and join all of us now on 

www.stopebola.com.”














Other influencers include CEO of Mara Group, Ashish Thakkar; CEO of 

Paga; Tayo Oviosu, Deputy Director of the British Council, Ojoma Ochai.
