Akon Says if ‘Every Single African American’ Moves to Senegal and Invests in His Smart City, They Will Be Millionaires and the U.S. Will ‘Collapse Overnight’
Breitbart ^ | 9-3-23 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

R&B singer Akon is hyping his centrally planned community in Senegal, the country of his childhood, promising that every African American who invests with him will become a millionaire. In addition, he says if they collectively leave the U.S. for Africa, they could do real damage to the country that has oppressed them so much.

The 50-year-old artist, whose real name is Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and spent much of his childhood in Senegal. Consequently, he is a big believer in Africa.

“If you’re coming from America or Europe or elsewhere in the diaspora and you feel that you want to visit Africa, we want Senegal to be your first stop,” Akon said in 2020 of the reported $6 billion project.

Offer them their reparations to move there. Interned Japanese Americans got $20k. That would go a long way in Senegal.

Felons go first. They get no choice.

If they’re all millionaires, we can send them Mexicans to mow their lawns. Win-win.

13% of the us population and control about 5% of the US wealth.

Now there is no doubt if they all cashed out and moved to Senegal, Senegal would instantaneously be transformed. That 5% of us wealth represented $6.4 Trillion… Senegal’s GDP is about $27.6 Billion.

So instantantly the country would inherit 231 times it’s annual GDP if this were to happen..

While this would be a huge impact on Senegal it would hurt but not collapse the US economy

The entire GDP of Africa is less than 3 trillion. So yea this would hugely shift Senegal as overnight it would have more weath than the entire GDP of Africa twice over…

They would have to loot a lot of stores to make that investment.

Lemme see…where else did I hear about a charismatic liar who preached nirvana if people left home to follow him….?

Akon posted this rendering of the future "Smart City" in Senegal:

He also posted this picture showing the sort of fashion everyone can expect to be wearing:

Me, neither. But is it bad my first thought was “A black guy, a white guy and a Mexican guy are walking down the beach when they find a bottle with a genie in it.”?
