IfooAfrica Launches in Nigeria

IfooAfrica is a brand new audio based
online platform bringing back the African
art form of storytelling. It allows users
registered on the site to share their
originally created audio story with the
IfooAfrica community.
Stories could be anything the storyteller
wants to share like dramas, folktales,
comedy, fiction, spoken word, poetry,
narratives etc. IfooAfrica is proudly
birthed in Nigeria and made for Africa in
African voices. If you can voice it, we want
to hear it...

IfooAfrica aims to create an online
community of African storytellers told in
their own individual and unique voices.
We believe that even though our histories
and journeys might be different, our
stories are very similar. The platform
intends to be both educative and
entertaining while fostering stronger
African unity via voice.

IfooAfrica will launch first in Nigeria on
October 1, 2014 and will gradually make
inroads into other countries on the
continent. As part of its launch in Nigeria,
IfooAfrica will run a monthly Upload,
Share and Cash Out competition that will
run for 12 months.

This competition allows storytellers to
upload their originally created short audio
story (10 minutes or less), share with the
IfooAfrica community who will listen and
vote. Any story that has the highest
number of votes at the end of the month
will be awarded N25, 000. The listeners
are not left behind, as they will have an
opportunity to win fabulous prizes on an
adhoc basisin the Listen, Comment and
Win competition.

Popular celebrities, Chioma Chukwuka-
Akpotha, KateHenshaw and Uti
Nwachukwu have kindly loaned their
voices to the first story uploaded onto the
platform titled Sexual Harassment
written by Joy Bewaji and produced by
David Jones David. Listeners are now
invited to log on to www.ifooafrica.com
listen to the story, answer the question
asked at the end and leave a comment. If
your comment is liked as the best at the
end of October, you win a brand new
Swatch wristwatch.

We look forward to being part of Africa’s
journey one story at a time!!
