Actress Stella Damasus and her lover Daniel Ademinokan are
taking their relationship to new heights with the launch of Mon Afrik,
an online TV station.
According to Vanguard, Mon Afrik TV is a platform set to entertain its
audience with all-African content but with additional contents from
various other premium sources as MTV, E-Online, NBC, BET, CW Network and
more.
The couple intends to reach Africans over the world through this, hoping it makes a difference.
The station goes live in January, 2016.
“That is what we have created and we want Africans all over the world to see this as their own medium of expression, not just another TV station,” Ademinokan said of the TV station.
He spoke further: “We see no reason why a struggling producer who could barely afford to raise the capital to make his or her TV show should also look for money to pay the TV stations for airtime.
“After that, they have to convince brands to place adverts on the show before they can start making any money. That is extremely discouraging for independent producers.”
He urged producers to get on board and showcase their materials to the world through the platform.
“Mon Afrik TV is creating a platform where producers can showcase their works to the world and make good money for themselves without having to deal with the run-around from TV stations.
“This is not a Video-on-Demand platform for movies and is not trying to pry into an already saturated market.”
Ademinokan also added that the idea nehind the TV channel is to help spotlight Africa in a more positive light than what currently obtains in mainstream media.

“Yes, Africa has issues, just like every other continent but there is more to us than starving children, gun wielding terrorists, arid lands and dilapidated buildings in remote villages,” he said.
