Great interview with Akorn guys. Like he stated the divisions are by design. We as a community of Africans in the Diaspora Have to come together. Unity in numbers. Rule number one in the art of war, divide and conquer. The history of China before the unification is similar to what's going on the continent. Africa is the End game. We have to come together. Keep the fire burning educate motivate and communicate. The content is great continue to provide that bridge. Like Akorn said with out us they don't have nothing . Blessed !!!

Love the notion “government in Africa are built for the people to need the government” All leaders in Africa should hear this for a change; and Africans all over the world. He is absolutely right Africa is the place to be now and this is ours and we should not miss out on the opportunity. Praying for speedy completion on this project with 90% African investors 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💗💗

Akon is speaking my language. Africa is where it is because of our negative mindset. We can create our own African dream only if we change our mindset. So long as we keep pulling each other down and not supporting each other's dreams, we'll still be stuck in ground zero.

I'm an old-school Afrikan in America, born right after Jim Crow into the battle for civil rights and still fighting. I was wondering why my people in America are so quiet in light of America's continued recent actions of dis-inheriting our heritage from America's educational institutions while we continue to spend over a trillion dollars on America's economy. Thank you so much for this beautiful Afrikan vision and development! Amandla!!!

Who’s wondering the same things? Why are people focused so much money, on things that are material and they can’t take with them. We can invest the energy that we make money with in each other and build generational wealth, nurture the next coming generations, and age in peace. We have a hard time helping one another because people don’t wanna receive help, and people have a hard time helping themselves. People are stuck in a pity party! But I’m proud of my heritage, my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, their parents and their parents parents parents before them their parents. that’s how deeply American I am. We’re the first copper colored people. speaking of money, our first American coins were made about us and stories were told about us! Let’s stand on that and keep it alive, for the next generation is coming so that the system that we’re living, it doesn’t erase our significance and presents before we baby boomers die.

I like how Akon shared that his first-hand experience with Chinese has been positive. I think a lot of what we see on the Internet is false, made up information, even videos can be enacted, fake or whatever if u pay people enuf money. I also like what he said about bartering. That's 💯

As an African from Africa, I learned some many things from this interview I didn't know about before. Akon is a blessing for Africa. Because to change Africa, there is a need of vision, influence, and understanding of Politics and he gets his head around these fields. Keep it up Akon!🔥

Am from Bénin 🇧🇯 but you point out something that impacts me ..we are here for a reason and we all pass. Through ❤

I love the way you think! I have been saying that they should get rid of those borders in the continent of Africa. What a powerful country it'll be! I'm so elated that I didn't miss this interview. Stay blessed!

Dis interview needa be 10 hours fr. Tell uncle Akon to double back

SUCCESS IS THE MORE ACCESS YOU HAVE IS A MF WORD!!!! The spiritual aspect is what is missing today in Amerikkka everyone wants material things, likes, follows and to go viral and miss the mark of doing it for God working for God and uplifting his kingdom. Akon is truly doing the Lord's work.

This is the first time I have been exposed to Akon outside of music. He is a very intelligent and motivating individual. He has given me an extended view of confidence and motivation. What he said about AI is a mind blowing fact that I have been attached to since Teminator 2 and Matrix 1. AI is a mistake that humans will not live to regret. And he is furthermore right... another view I have embraced for a couple of decades now... technology makes us lazy, and furthermore, handicaps us.

Africans on the continent are/will be the beneficiaries of development and increased trade with China and, more importantly, with BRICS. Millions in the Caribbean, Europe, and South America claim Africa as their motherland, even after hundreds of years of separation. We want to help rebuild Africa to create better economic options for ourselves and for those who are there, free of yt supremacy. Maybe you and others like you have grown accustomed to being looked down on and are comfortable being near the bottom of the socio-economic ladder in the US for hundreds of years and counting. Or don't see any other option for yourselves than to stay with a sinking ship and economy of the US. We have a viable solution to our situation, given the shift in the balance of power globally. What are the solutions for the "majority" of Black Americans (that you know of) other than waiting for a reparations check that may never come?
