Nollywood star, Jim Iyke, has apologized for his recent comments on the Ebola Virus.
While fleeing Monrovia, the Liberian capital a few days ago, over the outbreak of the deadly virus in that country, he had said on Instagram:“Monrovia, unfinished biz ; Leavin tonite. Nt ashamed to admit. Tis ish(issue) scares the Jesus outta me. #Ebola!!!!”.
The barrage of criticism that followed that statement and action has prompted a release from him.
It reads: “May I humbly apologize if my comments on Ebola – based on fear – were taken out of context.
“The last thing I wanted to do was to alarm anyone. My heart goes out to all the families who have been affected by the Ebola virus – those who have lost their lives or loved ones, those who are still bravely fighting the disease and all of the communities who are battling to keep the infection under control.
“You are all in my prayers. As I travel constantly across continents, most recently USA, Senegal, Liberia, Ghana, Gambia, I have been screened where and when necessary along with the other passengers and I believe it is the responsibility of every citizen to be vigilant and help contain the outbreak by following the advice of the local and international medical professionals and government officials”.
But don’t you think his apology would be better accepted if he went back to Liberia?
