The
pair of Nollywood actress Stella Damasus and movie director have set
another business together after launching a fashion label about a year
ago.
The lovers who have
separately had previous controversial experiences with marriage (Stella
with Emeka Nzeribe and Daniel with Doris Simeone) relocated to the US
with their kids and got married secretly have both joined forces to
launch the test transmission phase of their online television station,
‘Mon Afrik TV.’
Mon
Afrik TV has been described as a blend of BET, MTV, E-ONLINE, NBC and CW
Network all rolled into one but with 100% African content. “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,” Stella
hinted.
Also speaking
on the new initiative, Ademinokan explained that Mon Afrik TV is set to
fill a big vacuum and also serve as respite for less content providers
who can’t afford the fee of other television stations.
“We
see no reason why a struggling producer who could barely afford to
raise the capital to make his/her TV show should also look for money to
pay the TV stations for airtime before the world can see his/her
content. After that, they have to convince brands to place adverts on
the show before he/she can start making any money. That is extremely
discouraging for independent producers." He added.
