Akon Says ‘Every Single African American Would Be A Millionaire’ If They Fully Invest In Africa

During the course of the interview, Akon also shared further details on the status of Akon City. He says that he and his team have faced a lot of complications in developing the city. However, they are working under an estimated 10-year plan.

“The whole idea is to create what the future of Africa should be,” he said. “We have all the resources, we have the manpower, we definitely have the population. So it was just a matter of putting something in a country that can start and pretty much scale out to every other country — that we can copy and paste or at least the idea.”

He added, “If nothing [else] happens, the city will be done and mentally people know that it’s something possible to do in Africa.”
