TIPTOPSTARS

Within the past decade, there have been endless efforts to reverse a running, yet vexing impression that Africa is nothing positive but everything one would hate to love. If it is not war, it is starvation from accrued hunger. If it is disease, it is the lack of portable water. If it is not battered democracy, it is poor infrastructure. The list continues. These images, promoted by western TV have along the years stuck on the minds of people who have never had the chance to visit the Africa and in the process scores of them have reversed plans of ever doing so.

Yet, Africa is synonymous to beauty, communal spirit, captivating natural scenery, variety of fauna and flora, 5 Star hotels, fresh wind at soft sandy beaches, gorgeous traditional outfit, irresistible cuisine, soul-searching music, academic prowess, intellectual capacity. The list is endless. It is other part of the continent western media, observers say, have deliberately ignored.

Continuously making the world know Africa is these things and more is what several entities have embarked on, including African Money, an ongoing- afro-party concept that has covered much ground as far as this course is concerned. Through parties, African Money celebrates the continents varied achievements in a bid to encourage sons and daughters of Africa to work even harder and make it a place to be. When they come together, Africans of the hosting city share experiences and plans for further development of the continent in a relaxed setting.

This year, they will converge on the German city of Frankfurt for the same purpose - AFRICAN MONEY – EDITION GERMANY. Organizers have told TIPTOPSTARS that the 2014 edition will be powered by EBONY-EVENT (a rising Germany-based event agency founded by young Cameroonians) and AMPlus Events (founder of the concept African Money). Entry at the Friday May 2 event will cost visitors just a 15 Euro fee.

For its four years of existence, African Money has moved to different cities including Montreal (Canada), Bordeaux, Lille and Lyon (France) Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Brazzaville (Congo), Douala and Yaounde (Cameroon), Dakar (Senegal) and Libreville (Gabon).
