Im an urban planner in Africa. This wasn't going to happen. The concept of Akon city doesn't even look livable. His intentions were never pure
Agreed. Also, it looks it would only cater to the wealthy. And white foreigners would be a bulk of the residents
Not to mention that taking land from villagers while cost of living in Dakar ridiculously high is evil...evil intentions all round from my brother A kon
It was a money grab
Yeah okay there Whoopi
Like honestly bro, what do you know? “Urban planner” 😂
The very fact that the word 'Africa' is used in the project as if its a country and not an entire continent was already a sign it would fail, no matter how big the project would be, its comparison and impact should have been compared to the specific country it would be built, not to the whole of Africa, as if the continent is one big village square waiting for innovation from externals.🤦♂
It's ironic that you don't see the problem with the creator using the term Africa in the exact same way. Media literacy applies to all media.

MONEY.
Well like he mentioned in the video, Akon has done a lot of actual philanthropic projects across Africa particularly in solar energy and access to water. I don't think anyone imagine HE would be the one doing the actual building.

This project was doomed from the moment the imagery of what Akon envisioned to be his ideal African city was revealed. This is a top-down vanity project. There's no sense of community to be seen in the garish, comic book architecture. It's a city designed like an amusement park, rather than a place to call home--unless you're an egomaniacal entertainment mogul with scant understanding of economics.
Well said.
I love the word play
You summed it up. It's sad how clueless people have been to believe in someone like Akon. The same old savior fantasies of the past, with a different script. He knows just enough to create plenty of disappointment.

11:45 M-pesa is mainly a Kenyan,rather than an African thing. At least 80% of all mpesa transactions are Kenyan, and Vodafone are still trying to spread into Neighbouring Tanzania/Uganda. Saying that Akon should've tried to use M-pesa in Senegal, a half a continent away, without the financial infrastructure kenya has, is very under-informed
true. but they do use this in Mozambique too.
Its still better than "akoin" lmfao
Don't be silly. MPESA is mobile money and that's all over Africa. That's what he means.
I honestly don't buy any of this BS, this is the first comment implying a bit of understanding of how mega projects look like in Africa, a Billion tribes and Mega corporates playing devide & conquer. don't know if Akon went into this with good intention but he went in thinking he can do it only to get scammed by the big companies that are going to blame him for what happened to the local tribes. and that is simply how it goes in Africa.
Mpesa is the biggest transaction vendor in Tanzania for years,
This was good coverage. It wasn't biased and you did well on looking at things from multiple angles.
I will never forget when Akon, during an interview, said that China had given a 1 billion dollar loan to build the solar city. But instead of saying "the organization now has a lot of money to buy the equipment" he said "I have one billion dollars, I'm rich!!". I Freudian slip that very few people (if any) caught.
Not a freudian slip, just Akon telling you straight up that he's keeping all the money for himself lol
That actually means the opposite. Now his net worth is negative $1B. He has to pay that debt back. 🤦🏾♀️
Its a debt trap because the lendir hypes up whoever they loan to as they know the borrower will never pay them back, and/or the project could never be completed in the agreed timeline. That is predatory loaning in a nutshell.
hes financially irresponsible, it's clear. and he criticizes others for being bad at planning... he hasn't even picked up a book about basic biology
@@re_detachits Chinas African neocolonial strategy
It was highly laughable seeing him talk about using an incubator to create life while forgetting that an egg is still needed for fertilization 😭
Most arrogant people aren't known for their intellect. Akon may think he's Einstein. Its all in his head. His talk on women was ridiculous but can we expect anything less from a fool?
u can creat an egg but u cant creat a seed
Not sure why this guy didn't just enjoy his success / wealth instead of all these stupid scams lol
@@BobBob-cx9wmbecause when certain people achieve a level of success, they end up being surrounded by 'yes men' and ego strokers who are looking to hang on to the coat tails of their success. Similar to the remora fish- it attaches itself to a shark and swims around with it so it gets protection and food leftovers. But for someone like Akon who probably has some BPD or narcissistic traits, these people end up convincing people like him that he is the second coming of Christ. He probably believes he can do anything and no one likely ever tells him no. It's a recipe for disaster

The antithesis of decentralized.
It is videos like this that paint Africa as a single country as opposed to a continent. Talking about Africa's GDP as a collective rather than mentioning individual countries is misleading. Saying that Mpesa is used in the whole of Africa is also untrue. Mpesa is only available in Kenya, one of 52 countries in Africa.

The difference between you loaning from your local bank to buy a house, and loaning from China to build infrastructure, is that your local bank is not a foreign entity and thus it's also subject to your country's laws and regulations. Whereas, China is indeed a foreign entity and would demand that any land or asset taken by them are subject to Chinese laws and regulations -- essentially taking over a piece of your country.

😮 the main building/skyscraper is quite literally the same shape as ermm the 'Rampant Rabbit' 🤣 That is definitely deliberate hahaa
As an African, I knew “AkonCity” was a scam right from the get go. I was just waiting for the West to catch on.
Very few people in the West thought this wasn't a scam. It's not like Western governments and banks were lining up to throw money at Akon.
Me who just found out such a thing existed; 🗿
You're part of the minority though. A lot of Africans were congratulating him and seeing it as some kind of a future improvement
A con city?
Um Akon is Senegalese you are claiming to be "African", why couldn't you mention your nationality instead of broad terminology of African? Also why were you waiting for the West to see something instead of your fellow Africans?
And that's why... as rich as Africa is, they're in the worst position globally 😒 Akon represents many sell out leaders on the continent.
Mean not that hard to scam people when public education is basically non existent and still got people that belive in damn magic. Mean the Average IQ in most places in Africa between 60-80, make with that what you will.
I'm interested in investing, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any advice or contacts who can help me out?
Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.
It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Alexandra James to reshape your portfolio.
I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.

The cook unity ad was fire lol
So he ended up... alone... in this oasis, by himself?.... would you say he's.... Mr. Lonely?
🤣
Yo wtf 😂😂😂
There's absolutely no way 3 million Senegalese are dying to fumes and fires every single year.
Yeah I was eating and stopped just to recheck what he said lol. Because it sounded crazy. Senegal as a whole has 18 million people. This guy needs to verify his sources more because this part of the video is ridiculously fake. Makes you question the credibility of other things he said in his videos.
@@evothenew3333To be fair though that was directly from Akon’s website itself which further shows how deceptive he and his programs are. Although, you are right he should have been critical about that claim and highlighted the absurdity of it.
In the whole world there's about 2 million fatalities yearly from air pollution alone, most of them in China and India. Meanwhile WHO reports 180,000 fatalities due to burns, so I also doubt the entire Senegal is burning out of control by kerosene lamps. Even Rome didn't burn that badly in 64 AD.
Yeah. how does 3 million people out of the whole 17+ million of the population die from toxic fumes? Even a quick google search of Senegal's population and comparing the trends of the population growing over time disproved this
Of course the Western media has conditioned them to think Africa is just a jungle where people and animals struggle to survive. So, when they find anything that can make the situation worse, they major on it to justify their believes that Africa has people dying due to any other issue such as hunger, diseases. And now, amazingly, smoke killing 3 million annually 😅😅
So how is this different from the World Bank and IMF
Ohhhh I get it now he was the Nigerian prince that emails us all 😅
this literally sounds like he saw Black Panther for the first time, looked at wakanda, and said “i can do that!”. his design and layout is so childish that it seems like satire.
He obviously had ZERO engineers consulting on this project, it looks ridiculous.
The architecture of Wakanda is ironically far more realistic! He should have just copied screenshots of the movie
All I saw was complete delusion.
Wait until Akon founds out WHY china helped Africa out so much 😂
They just want the resources. This is economic colonization.
And why is that ?
@@stonecoldstonersllc9704they build infrastructure for ‘free’, then they give them debt
@stonecoldstonersllc9704 whoever is owed the debt is the one with power.

*How often do we put God first in our decision-making? lt's paramount we take that first step of talking to him first. I wanted to try out something new, so I prayed to God about it and took the step. It turned out my best decision ever taken. A decision that fetches me $42k bimonthly. I spent time praying in the spirit like I always do, in tongues of fire (my secret weapon). God came through for me*. *Praise Jesus🙏🙌✝️❤️❣️*
That's one thing I would never neglect. Asking the Lord about how he feels taking a step. Marriage either makes or breaks you. God led me to the right person. The story has been a happy ever after type
Words !!!♥️💯
As humans, we take a lot of things for granted, even God's own point of view, his voice, and his thoughts on things we plan to do.
I'm eternally thankful to God and his servant Ms Chloe Linda Henderson for making all this reality. I can give in furtherance to God's work and help out in my community way much more easily now.
And to think that i started with a sum of $5,000 remains mind-blowing for me.
10:00 what Akon is speaking about here is quite common when an investor whats to build anything the government would layout bulk infrastructure to support whatever is being being built, on a micro scale when you build a house in a village you would get the government to install electric lines for you, in some cases water infrastructure. In a Macro scale you get power, stormwater, roads, and other supporting services be it government public services like police stations, fire department etc nothing uncommon look at Waterfall city in RSA 🇿🇦 or Eko Atlantic in Nigeria or even Konza city in Kenya
Their government said "We support Akon" What they meant... "We are supporting A Con!!" 😂😂😂😂
It's in the name 😮😂
That made me laugh 😂
😂😂😂
He literally could have built a resort with beach front villas and it would have worked lol
Do you think people in 3rd world countries have money to go to resorts? Lmao it's not a tourist area
@@FilthyMcNasty69we do have luxury resorts here in Africa. Tons of those.
Y'all act like we're from a different species
@@FilthyMcNasty69Yes, we do. And, yes , it's a tourist area
@@raabbibi who the fuck is taking a vacation to Senegal bro? Get real lol
saw this today, man i grew up listening to his songs....
- exposes Akon for being a fraud - promotes microwave lasagna that looks like someone stepped on it
He would've already finished the city, but he's locked up, and they won't let him out. Pretty important fact for you to leave out.
Locked up by who?
You funny, he’s referring to his song locked up
Send me some moonneeyy orderrss🎶 😔
Mf wrote "convict music" having never even seen the inside of a cell
They won't let him out
Four years is not enough time to make something like that.
Aint NO WAY that tower be lookin like mommy's back massager 😭😭😭😭😭😂
Bro science ... Hahaha rollin!
Akon reminds me of someone who keeps coming up with new ‘businesses’ but only gets as far as making some business cards and a Facebook page.
Thats not even remotely true. Hes actually done positive things for Africa
@@treenincove1726 well in this case…it feels like it!
and I know plenty of these narcissists... Who want to stay in the spotlight of importance.
My reply got deleted!! Weird!
@@bethoc3091 yeah, youtube does that
Im an architect student and the designs for Akon City make no sense, the buildings are wayyyy too "advanced" to be able to be supplied by electricity or even utilities. So much so I wonder how the interior would even work. Its so unrealistic and flat out laughable
This comment makes no sense
focus on your studies.
lol... u didn't study much...
One mega hospital to serve millions on one side of the city
in the future, if you dont mind providing a list of buildings you are working that would be great thanks, ill know to avoid them.
why's homeboy falling asleep on camera as Akon is explaining away @6:17?? lol
Interesting Insightful,from the onset,i had bad vibes about the initiative #project of the #Akoncity
