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.

I tend to look for proof and hard evidence. The only wealthy in Africa are the warlords.

“That 5% of us wealth represented $6.4 Trillion”

I wonder how long it would stay in the original hands.

well, a couple of points
1. Senegal has been doing well for the past few decades - it has a stable, democratic government with rule of law (unlike most African countries)
2. Akon’s business plan - I have no idea about, but if he wants to make it a hub for west Africa, it could work (need to read more about it)
3. “African”-Americans have as much relationship to Senegal as “European”-Americans. i.e. there may be some distant relationship, but no real ties
