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.

And to think that i started with a sum of $5,000 remains mind-blowing for me.

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

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.

I'm NGL, I'm a woman and I don't mind him having 'traditional preferences' towards gender roles, to each their own. But somehow thinking skipping your kids recitals are cool? Okay Akon, so it's your job to teach your seed how to be men...why are they gonna care if you failed to pay attention or love them in the interim? To ignore their interests? Man is gonna end up with a spoiled punk kid and blame the wife for raising him wrong 😂 Not the years spent without a male role model supporting his interests and teaching him to be a man day to day from the get go. And part of being a man is fulfilling your obligations...if that means your kids football game, cello recital or whatever other school play or hobby involving an audience, you show. If you're a real man.

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 😅😅

They just want the resources. This is economic colonization.

And why is that ?

This is communism at its finest. Sounds great on paper but never really works the way it's said to. They control literally everything all the while you think you're free and equal to your neighbors but aren't.

But the natives of that land is too focus on other things. They can unite amd get this done together

It’s cause black people don’t want to develop their own economies, we too busy finessing each other

China is just using Akon for propaganda purposes,they give him money and he sings their praises,they also get to take over Africa by putting them into debt

The sad thing is, many will only see it as colonization when it's too late. Hating the west for their past greed makes some blind for present exploitation done by others. Russia and China are constantly working on getting more grip on African nations, with China leaving Russia way behind and already being dominant in many regions. It is Pandora's box for these Nations and many are still blind to what's happening. It's truly sad because most of us wish for a better future for the African continent, free of foreign exploitation. China wishes to BE the exploitation. And still, it seems, that many African nations don't really have other options than sticking with China. I mean, they do it cheap. In the short term it is Win Win.
