The Goals:
• To tell the colorful stories about real life experiences of Continental Africans abroad.
• To provide a balance to the image of the African in the global media.
• To introduce the voices of Continental Africans abroad in the debate about developmental policies in their various countries of origin.
• To provide a medium for reaching the large market on the African continent (including Nigerians who alone number over 150 million at home and abroad).
