Watch: The best way to defeat Ebola!

Tunde Kelani has created a multimedia Ebola awareness campaign called Lens On Ebola.

Lens On Ebola borrows the talent of Tonto Dikeh, Desmond Elliott, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Steve Onu "Yaw" Sani Danja, Joke Silva, Kunle Afolayan, Toyin Aimaku and O.C. Ukeje to create public awareness in short video sketches.

The  campaign materials are freely available in all Nigerian languages (English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo) and distributed via web, TV, radio, in cinemas, and released in Nollywood DVDs.

The campaign is a collaboration between Nollywood Workshops, CcHub Nigeria and Naija247Medic, in partnership with Mainframe Productions.

A Liberian man, Patrick  Sawyer died in Lagos on July 25 after testing positive to the Ebola virus.
The man is said to have  collapsed on arrival in Lagos, and  was taken from the airport and put in isolation at a local hospital.
