''I HAVE A DREAM''

With the fortitude borne with memories of woes of corruption, bloodshed, political meltdown and impoverishment, i stand at the peak of the Kilimanjaro to declare that ''I HAVE A DREAM!!.''
that my great ancestral black mother ''Africa'' would someday have her seeds united as  one, i dream of the united states of Africa.
I have dream that my terrorist siblings would convert their arms into plowshares and cultivate for bountiful transformations to come.
I do have a dream that i would one day walk through the streets of Capetown without having clubs fired at me. I someday i would journey through Italy and Brazil without being offered bananas of scorn.
My outstanding brother engineers would in few moments to come leave the class and banks and locate the factories and sites. My uncommon brothers who play to the admiration of the streets would someday find their way back to their nation's national squads and play to the admiration of the world. I have a dream that an African nation would lift the world's most acknowledged trophy come 2019 and further. I dream that the tears of my deceased siblings would trigger the rivers of change and arrest the hearts of men who administer with hideous missions. I have a dream that i would someday cross the borders of the west, without being branded a cheat. The future would definitely offer the 54 seeds of Africa the space to raise their heads in the affairs of this world. I have a dream that my 55 year-old black mother ''Nigeria'' with her fellow seeds would one day call the shots in the governing of this universe. I await your smiles of victory and jubilation so i urge you to work while men work that you may rest to reap when men would. Then we would look at our faces with great conviction and yell '' i'm proud to be an African'' i have a dream today.

AFRICA NEW YEAR/JANUARY 2016 STATEMENT


It is my utmost pleasure to welcome our dear Africans to the New Year. I had promised to share 30 minutes after the commencement of the New year but nature came in the way. Nevertheless it is stll New Year anyway. I'd love to use this opportunity to appreciate all who supported us. We have 388 likes and over 600 readers, but indeed we expect to reach 500 by the end of January 2016. We have mapped out several plans and goals but majorly, we would be heading o Mauritius this month and of course we hope to launch our first e-magazine by December. We have equally resolved to dissolve all exalted offices in the iAFRICA team(i.e. CEO, President, Directors,etc),rather all founding members in each country would serve as administrators of their countries, while the founder of iAFRICA remains the chairman of the founding team. Now the founding team would run the affairs of the iAFRICA. We would devote more time to serving Africa and growing in our works and numbers. We urge Africans to stand together like never before.
For the month of January, we advise wealthy Africans to start giving back to their society. The opulent Africans have a big duty to give to Africa. They should devote sometime to charity. The best way of tackling a problem is by taking away its causative agent. The agent here is poverty. We plead with well-to-do Africans to multiply their kind by ensuring that African kids go to school.Come out!, give scholarships, give educational grants, give loans, support talents and dreams, provide jobs. The safety and duration of your riches has a link to the well-being of these common men.We extend our prayers to all troubled African nations and of course the world. Above all celebrate New Year in calmness and peace. Put away arms and wicked intentions. Nurture tomorrow by working hard today to make it safe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM IAFRICA FOUNDING TEAM

A rising continent--Africa

 First and foremost, we would love to thank you all for your support, from when we were just a page on FaceBook, to now owning our very own website. It has been one step at a time, and we are very grateful to you, our readers and our followers. When we were just a vision, our Founder said  "Always a first time, always a commencement of a journey, always an ignition of a stupendously large dream. In the beginning was an unexplored and underachieving Africa. When we decided to step out of the darkness and bring Africa to light, we began the creation story." 

 Some people may say, Africa is a dark continent, made up of barbaric people. However, we see the continent differently. Africa is a great continent that is home to a diverse set of humans, which makes it much more fun. Here is what we have to say:

"On the outside, Africa is portrayed as a ‘jungle’ that serves as a habitat to a barbaric multitude. The amusing part of the story is that some Africans agree with this postulate. But we, the enlightened Africans, know that the beauty, glory, and potential of our continent are bursting out the seams. We know that if we do not speak up about the true image of our motherland, the world will be oblivious of it. Africa, home to the cream of the global society, is a continent formed on the foundation of love, happiness, unity, loyalty, sacrifice, morality, and hospitality. Africa cannot be said to be a backward continent; ‘developing’ may be acceptable but definitely not ‘backward’. Moreover, when a continent is said to be ‘developing’, it paints a picture of room for further improvement, but when a continent is said to be ‘developed’ it means a different thing. Such a continent can be related to a ball thrown up in the air: once it gets to its maximum height (‘developed’ stage of continents), it has no where else to go but DOWN. Africa has been made an object of ridicule because for so long, it has been developing. If we noticed as in the medical field, a foetus usually takes an expected estimated period of nine months before it can be said to be ready to exit the protection and support arenas provided by its mother. A child that is born premature usually has almost everything premature (i.e. most physical features are premature), but a child that takes the adequate time to develop or longer usually has an unarguable edge over the one that ‘rushed’ out. This paradigm is used to explain the reason Africa is taking so long to join her peers in the league of developed countries.

On the inside, Africa is glorious. We are Africa! Like every other continent on the globe, Africa has her good spots as well as her bad ones. The beauty of Africa can be attributed to the vast dominance of the presence of nature. Africa is one of the most surreal continents on the planet with the most amazing and most amazing sites that not only treat the eyes but also the soul. Various beautiful sites in Africa include: the great Pyramids of Egypt, the Sphinx, Victoria Falls, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar beach, the Virunga Mountains, the Omo River Region, Marrakech in Morocco, Cape Town in South Africa, the Hot Air Balloon Safari, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Seychelles Island, the Robin Island, Kruger National Park, the Table Mountain in South Africa.Image result for beautiful places in africaImage result for beautiful places in africa
Some people may ask...Where is the hope? Let us enlighten you. Africa currently has a population of about 1.1 billion. By 2030,, it is believed that we should have grown to a staggering 2 billion. Take a look at that. What could we not achieve with a demography like that? More disposable labour, a larger work force, a more rapid economic growth...what else?
Take a look at our entertainment industry. Nollywood is the second largest in the world. Nollywood produces more films annually than even Hollywood and Bollywood put together. Our movies are #worldclass. We can boast of a lot of internationally renowned actors, actresses, musicians, etc. such as: Genevieve Nnaji, D'banj, P-Square, Wizkid of course, Don Jazzy, Davido, Sarkodie, Victoria Kimani, AKA, Kid X, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, and so many more. The largest and thickest music label in Africa, the Mavin Crew, just keep doing it bigger and better

Wooh! Business and entrepreneurship? Africa's business is not growing, it is booming, we used to worth about $1 trillion in uhm, 2010? As at 2013, we were rated at $1.6 trillion. An economic increase of about $600 billion in a space of three years. What does that tell you? In ten years, we would be just huge. A few people who have made this happen are: , Fred Swaniker, Acha Leke, Mike Adenuga, Wale Adenuga,
