I visited Senegal to investigate if Akon city is truly a scam

For today's episode I traveled to Senegal to see for myself, if Akon City is truly a scam like people say it is. Akon launched a Wakanda-themed city in 2018, the first phase is to be completed this year, so my curiosity and love for futuristic cities took me to Dakar Senegal

I think it doesn't have to be futuristic, just build a city with excellent and well organized amenities that is drainage, roads, parks, hotels, add on the citys strength and culture, it still can be done but the investors really need to get on it, kudos Akon!, it was obviously not an easy project but it can be done.

All this video did was promote how beautiful Senegal is. I couldn't help but cry when I saw the door of no return. I don't care if Akon City gets build or not I want to visit Senegal. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤

I've worked in real estate development and I can believe it when he says that things have gotten delayed. Theres so many things you have to complete before you even begin building anything. The construction part is the quickest and easiest part.

Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊

Came here for Akon city but got an awesome tour of Dakar and history lesson. I love it, ty!

[DavidGuardado]

I'm Mexican but man I love watching African YouTubers and learning about the beautiful continent of Africa <3 Would love to visit Senegal as well!

[digitalmastaz]

building a mega project in Africa is not a walk in the park. getting all the authorization and going through several bureaucracy and all the red tapes and envelopes under the table its not a joke.

[steelokey]

Dude I love your voice & accent. You just sound super chill & it’s easy to listen to you.

[toofarreal]

This was very good, you gave Akon his accolades for the good he has done in Africa, while showing the truth about his failed Akon city.

[jostv.]

I thougt this video would only adress Akon City. But instead it was nearly a full documentary about the regiot. Great work! :D It was really nice to see this ^^

[aparta]

Very well made & informative video. I'm glad I found your channel. The way you presented so many little subjects while reporting on Akon city was on point.

I just came back from Senegal. Never been and was there for my cousin wedding. The country is just amazing and I’ve been to over 50countries.
The young gentleman who helped him in Gorée was my guide as well. Very bright kid and well spoken kid. I don’t think people realize how deep the goree history is. I refused to get inside. It’s way too emotional once you’re in there.. And trust me, I've been several of them

Paying a North Korean company $30 mil for a statue is crazy. There was no better use for that money? I read that the president who approved it being built gets to keep 35% of the revenue generated from ticket sales because he came up with the idea. 🤨

[SantishaDeonarinePhotography]

Thank you for being one of those people that genuinely shows what is happening. Excellent reporting!

[michaelkautuara]

First time coming across your channel, man I've got to give it to you....This Is An Amazing Video....From Namibia With Love

[Eazihustler]

Bravo to you Steven, you undoubtedly the best YouTuber in Nigeria right now. Given the quality and value information videos you make

[djoseph]

I never heard about the Akon lighting Africa project, that's very impressive. At least he's giving back and hopefully he does build his City, I wish him all the best.

A civil construction project is not a university lecture that is supposed to go on schedule. If one commercial building can delay with two years, what about a city? Most budgets are just indicative budget estimates. It will be built if its supposed to happen.

[LilaManila-ys]

Big thank you for showing the history of Senegal. My geography classes always failed me into knowing/learning about Africa and South America (even tho I went to school almost 2 decades ago).

This was such treat!❤🎉

Akon city aside, Senegal does have a great master plan to move their capital city and have rail connect the old and new city with several developments in between the, and the stadiums, parks, government buildings etc... I hear they are making great progress on this project. I'd like to hear more about it if you can
