    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.🤦‍♂

      The media?? Akon never even spent a day in jail so his name “ a convict, akon” is fake. You don’t need to spend a day in jail to be a rapper but you need to be honest to be a trustworthy person.
      If you cant look at Akon and determine that his Wakanda plan didn’t make any sense, then you have outsourced basic common sense.
      You need either a degree or experience to build anything of that stature.
      Akon was in a group that stole cars, the group was arrested but he wasnt, he rapped and made millions then he founded a record label and signed artists then he disappeared….then reappeared with Wakanda 😅😅😅😅

    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.

    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.

    We called this years ago on his interview with VladTV. He’s essentially doing what a lot of African leaders do.
    1. Borrow money from China (or other country) to invest in projects.
    2. Pocket the money and don’t deliver on the projects.
    3. China eventually comes to recoup the money they loaned.
    4. And when the money can’t be paid back China now owns the assets.
    But it doesn’t matter to Akon because in his head “Senegal would fail anyway so I might as well take care of myself and family while I’m here.”
    Truly wicked guy.

Also, the analogy of selling a house to a American being a trap is not truthful. A more accurate analogy would be someone in America buying a 1 million dollar home and expected to pay it back or have it repossessed.
