When I started IQ4News in 2007, it had very little to do with Africa. It did however mark the beginning of my love for the media.
2009 was the pivotal point for the website, marking the start of a journey in the liberation of all African voices.
Although I had originally planned to only use the website for my own purpose, I was overhelmed by the response and offers to submit articles to the website, that it almost became selfish of me to use this platform for my own use.
Today in 2010, two months to the first anniversary of IQ4News in its present form, I am happy to say that IQ4News gets audiences from over 120 countries around the world, 15 of which are African countries.
Just like 2009 started off the journey, my only hope and prayer is that 2010 seals the position of IQ4News in the realm of African news.
To mark the new year I would like to introduce a new IQ4News writer Eno Akpabio. Her first article for IQ4News FROM YEMEN WITH LOVE touches on the recent, and unfortunate, attempted terrorist attack by Umar Abdulmutallab.
Happy Reading!
