What a difference a good night’s sleep makes. For the first time, one was able to not only sleep well but one could get a real hot bath! This new hotel really puts the previous one to shame. Breakfast was excellent and we had a bounce on our steps as we returned to our room…
Moved finally to a new hotel and thought we were going to spend the whole day chilling, relaxing and recovering from the ordeal of the previous one. One hardly slept last night. It was as if the whole of the neighbourhood came for a loud party behind our room. It was so loud you could…
First full day is finished. It was meant to be a day to just chill and relax but it turned out to be a day to search for a new hotel. As it turns out there was a much better hotel just 2 block away from the sorry one we were staying. Before we decided…
A year after we first came to Kenya, Africa Web TV is back in Nairobi city again. This time we have a much more flexible program so we are going to enjoy this country a bit more. What’s on the staple during this trip? We are hoping to hook up with some local content producers….
Just 12 days after coming back from our very eventful trip to Nigeria, Africa Web TV is heading to Nairobi, Kenya. We can understand that a lot of eyebrows are being raised about our decision to go to Kenya at this time. One has not even had the time to get over the psychological trauma…
Day 2 The long wait It was a good night sleep. Went to the dining hall in the morning to find out that we shall be leaving for Port Harcourt at 3 pm. Funny thing was that while we were eating breakfast, it became obvious that our flight to Port Harcourt will now be at…
Part 1 (Written at 38000 feet above the Sahara desert in a Lagos bound Air France airline) Going to Nigeria for work feels really weird. But working with Africa Web TV means one has to be ready to go anywhere for a good story. When one is contracted to film some stories and documentaries in…
Ballake Sissoko was in concert at Podium Grounds, Rotterdam on Saturday as part of his European tour. Africa Web TV was there to cover the show. What a concert it was! For one it was a concert where the traditional West African instrument, the kora, took the centre stage. Ballake is one of kora’s greatest…
Hi guys! Some of you might not know, but I am a second year International Business & Language student at the HES in Amsterdam. The programme is in English, which I appreciate so much! As well as the fact that there are so many International students in my class, let alone going to my school….
You might recall that Africa Web TV met with a group of Ugandan, Holland based gays and lesbians in Amsterdam recently. They told the story of the persecution they are going through in their country. The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, like some other leaders in Africa (Nigeria included) have essentially legalised mob justice against…
Africa Web TV spent a very fulfilling and inspirational evening with a group of people that are fast becoming an endangered species in Africa; LGBTI (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Intersex). The existence of these people is not being threatened by any natural causes. Instead, the biggest threat they are facing is ignorance which is…
I was at the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition in Rotterdam the other day. It was a fascinating experience. That guy who lived and died in the 15th and 16th century was a true genius. Many of the modern day things we use and take for granted are clearly to be traced back to him. He…
