The “Fyre Festival” times a billion.

I just thought of some words.

Maybe learning how to farm your own food should come first.

“‘Wakanda’ cloaking technology for the win?”

That would be the ultimate trick!

Potential investors probably realized how much of the $6B would go to graft and declined.

This is hilarious. Vintage ‘African’ loud mouthed ignorant boasting. Acorn or what ever could easily be one of the black members of the South Carolina legislature depicted in ‘Birth of a Nation’.

Akon’s team, and the Senegalese state tourism agency SAPCO, which is managing the project on the government’s behalf, did not respond to repeated solicitations by AFP for comment.

SAPCO a perfect summation

Maybe Akon took a page from The Producers.

Donations and funding siphoned off?

There’s a video of some dignitaries opening a bridge by cutting a ribbon as it collapses.

Aren’t the Saudis building a “Super-City” off the Red Sea?

The stone itself sits at the bottom of a dirt track in a field; a small placard advertising the megaproject has fallen off it.

"Africa wins again!"

Six billion dollar investment in Africa? Might as well as convert all to cash and use it for a bonfire. Will provide just as much usefulness and much more entertainment.

The truth is it’s probably just a con to ripoff foolish, woke investors.

They should start small. From the tiny acorn the mighty oak tree grows.

I'd suggest to start, they should open a liquor store, a juke joint, and a fried chicken shack.
