<p>Timothy Obiezu a journalist based in Abuja came up with the idea after a long decade of experience in journalism .</p>
<p>According to Mr Obiezu Africa is a continent of rich cultures, deep histories, and an unwavering spirit that is quietly but powerfully changing the world. Yet for far too long, the true essence of Africa has been overlooked or worse, misunderstood. Every day, millions consume media that either misrepresents Africa or reduces it to a single narrative of poverty, conflict, and underdevelopment.</p>
<p>He said After nearly a decade of telling African stories on global platforms such as Voice of America (VOA) and TRT World, we are now turning our focus toward building a homegrown platform that does justice to the continent’s diversity, brilliance, and complexity. Today, we stand at the threshold of something new. Something bold. Something transformative á»DEKá» AFRICA.</p><div class="tQpAy9BB" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Mr Timothy said á»DEKá» AFRICA is more than just a media company; it is a movement dedicated to capturing the stories that matter the stories of resilience, innovation, and progress happening across our continent. Our mission is to bring Africa’s true essence to the world, sharing it through the lenses of those living it.</p>

<p>“As a continent, we cannot be constantly defined by the challenges we face daily. Africa is much more.”</p>

<p>This bold initiative comes just months after the U.S. President’s controversial decision to shut down VOA as part of sweeping federal budget cuts an action that has left a notable gap in global reporting on African affairs and opened the door for rival narratives from countries like Russia and China. For me, journalism has always been about giving voice to the underreported and misunderstood. This closure marked both an ending and a new beginning.</p>
<p>“When former U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed VOA broadcasting globally and in Africa as a waste of government spending not a necessity it sent a clear message: the world will not always prioritize our stories. That is exactly why we must. It’s up to us to define and share Africa’s narrative authentically, unapologetically, and on our own terms.”</p>
<p>Our platform will operate with a network of African journalists, creators, and thinkers aiming to shift global perceptions by amplifying authentic African voices and perspectives.</p>
<p>“We are determined to bring stories from every corner of this continent to the world stories that inspire, challenge, and open hearts and minds. Whether it’s a tech innovator in Nairobi, a fashion disruptor in Lagos, or a farmer rethinking sustainability in Malawi—we’re telling those stories. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Powerful.”</p>
<p>á»DEKá» meaning &#8220;to capture&#8221; or &#8220;to document&#8221; in the Igbo language—will focus on high-quality storytelling across politics, security, and everyday human experiences. We go where the stories are and deliver them to our audiences through print, audio, and audiovisual formats across our digital platforms.</p>
<p>Headquartered in Nigeria for now, this launch marks a major step forward in reclaiming African narratives and presenting them with dignity, nuance, and clarity.</p>
<p>“We want to show the world the Africa we know—the Africa we are proud of. Welcome to á»DEKá» AFRICA where Africa is seen, heard, and truly understood.”</p>
