 ILBOUDO Frédéric, Journal L’Opinion

I’m journalist at the weekly "L’Opinion" published each Wednesaday in Burkina Faso, my country. I’m fond of ICTs, that’s the means I use to make my country and my continent’s cultures known. ’Cause I’m above all a culture journalist. For about 10 years now, ICTs have become something like my second wife. I’m so curious about all things relating to iCTs that I’ve been nicknamed M TIC" in my editing board. Writing about ICTs and its issues in my coutrny and my continent is a kid a duty because, I’m defintiley convinced, it the only channel we can use bridge over the divide that seperates us from ohters continents. So I you agree with me that ICTs coupled with culture can boost our development, fell free to contact me.
