Working with corrupt Government officials, gangs, radical imams, and local labor in Senegal all trying to pick his pocket will turn him into a small-government, cultural conservative in no time.
Great point. my guess is that the smart ones were on an extended, off-world trip on the Mother Ship, and the rest were left to their own...
Local Building Codes? LOL...
Great idea. Liberia weth solar panels. And the WOKE WOOKIES would relocated from WEstern Europe and the US to indulge in organic cannabis and meth. Brilliant idea.
A fool and his money... If he is using his own money, why should I care, if he asking the US for money, hell no...
Let’s see if the famous saying about Africa will apply here?
The saying,” Africa wins again !”.
Time will tell.
I get a big security risk notice when I click on your link.
So for about the cost of the Rams new stadium in LA, he wants to build this futuristic Wakanda? A city resembling his fantasy will cost a hundred times that. They have great beaches, but they hate white people, or "Toubabs", and I don't think Akon wants these "Wakandans" acting as servants to "colonizers".
It’s gonna be Port-au-Prince times Monrovia.
“And if you believe that, we’re gonna get along just fine ...”
Nah, it will be a money pit for white guilt money. Hopefully, a bunch of professional athletes will lose their fortunes in this "investment". The scheme couldn't been dreamed up by Bernie Madoff.
For new and young FReepers, here's a tidbit( cough, cough).
"....Dowden recalled seeing Bokassa on a visit to Uganda. "He had come to meet Idi Amin. He was a fanatical collector of medals, but so was Amin, and Amin had the bigger chest so he could wear more medals."
"Backed by France, Bokassa came to power in a coup in 1965 and ruled with an iron fist, torturing and killing political rivals and cutting off the ears of thieves."
"Accusations of cannibalism were widespread but unproven, triggered by photographs in Paris-Match magazine that apparently showed a fridge containing the bodies of schoolchildren."
"It was also claimed his political rivals were cooked and served to visiting foreign dignitaries or fed to lions and crocodiles in his personal zoo."
Man was a generous host, sharing his royal vittles with guests.
"Bokassa named himself emperor in 1976 and organised a lavish coronation, costing tens of millions of dollars, in which he wore costumes styled on Napoleon's and rode in a carriage flanked by soldiers dressed as 19th-century French cavalrymen. He was overthrown three years later after his guards killed scores of schoolchildren who were demonstrating in the capital, Bangui."
I’m sure all those starving people will appreciate the shiny city
I don't. It's an image on imgoat.com which is known to host controversial content and is heavily censored.
Funny how we never hear about these guys, but hear about Hitler ad nauseum.
I’ve read that when the Movie Black Panther came out, Travel Sites were inundated with people looking to book Flights to the fictional African Country of Wakanda.
Could be an Unban Myth, but I wonder.
Don’t recall hearing the same about the other fictional African Country of Zamunda after the Movie Coming to America came out.
I’ve noticed the the dumbing down of Society has increased substantially the more that Information is readily available to the Masses.
Oops...
Unban = URBAN.
It will never be built at all. This sounds like a innovative investment scam. They will be demanding US companies "invest" in the scam of they will labeled RACIST.
