Actress Salma Mumin has also charged her fellow celebrities and Ghanaians to use local dialects to engage and educate illiterates about the coronavirus outbreak in Ghana.
Since the outbreak, a lot of celebrities have been using foreign language (English language) to communicate to their fans about the pandemic.
This, according to hip-hop star Edem, leads to ‘misinformation’ among the illiterates.
The “Over Again” hitmaker in an Instagram post said: “If u are a public figure, socialite or celebrity and u can make a local language video to help disseminate safety information pls do.it looks like non English speaking ppl are being misinformed [sic].”
And it seems his call has had a good response.
Wednesday, March 18, actress Xandy Kamel took to Instagram to address her fans about the virus in her mother tongue, Ewe, shortly after Edem made the call.
