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.
