Ghanaian actress, Martha Ankoma, has challenged Ghanaian celebrities to make the most of their huge following on social media platforms by using it for positive impact appealing that it would be one way they can give back to the community in its desperate times of need.

The Ghana Textiles Print ambassador admonished Ghanaian celebrities by asking them to get their priorities sorted out by taking advantage of the available technology to impact the society instead of just posting pictures on the platforms for their fans to like; affirming that using impact is further individual brand promotion is better than just looking for likes on the social media platforms. 

 “What are we the celebrities doing to help the government fight the coronavirus, we have a strong voice, most of us have about 5million plus followers on Instagram and other platforms but it’s quite unfortunate that we don’t post things that would educate them, we can be educating them about the devastating effect of Coronavirus in our local dialect and that would really help,” she expressed while speaking in an interview.

Martha further made known her disappointment at the attitude of Ghanaians towards the precautions set by the government to curb the spread of the pandemic, as people have been defying the social distancing rules and have not been putting on face masks. 

She informed on how market women are hardly seen wearing face masks and the need for government to make enforcement for the lives of mothers.

“I’ve been to the market about three times since the president imposed the social distancing ban on Ghanaians but hardly would see them in their nose masks or adhering to the social distancing order, the few ones who have it have tied it around their neck like a neck chain,” she added.

The Ghanaian actress concluded that the disposition towards safety by Ghanaian citizens is very troubling.
