The issue of Ebola should not be taken as a joke, this is what led the popular United States-based R&B star, Akon, last Sunday to climb inside an airtight blow-up during a performance in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo in an effort to guard against contracting the Ebola Virus Disease.
The
singer rolled over the crowd, pushed along by the outstretched hands of 60,000
screaming concert-goers while performing at a concert.
The
performance was part of a larger free concert held by charity, ‘Peace One Day,’
to help promote and support the United Nations’ International Day Of Peace.
Akon
was, however, accused of going to extreme lengths to avoid catching Ebola
during a concert in Africa by crowd-surfing inside a giant plastic bubble.
Though,
his action was criticised by a section of the media outlets, describing it as a
cynical attempt to shield himself from the deadly virus that is sweeping West
Africa rather than just being a creative way of performing closer to his fans.
