American-born Akon with Senegalese roots believes now is a good time to invest in Ghana and other African states because of bountiful returns to be made.
Akon, born Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam, stated that he was investing everything in Africa because “that’s home”, adding “that’s where everything needs to be invested because you will get your investment back.”
When host of Capital XTRA Mammy Norte informed him his folks hailed from Ghana, and if he was aware of African-Americans making a return to the country in droves in the Year of Return, Akon responded “you guys are sleeping mehn.”
Of Ghanaians living in the UK, Akon submitted “if you guys are not investing you literally missing the opportunity. By the time you figure it out, it will be too late.”
The Senegalese-American singer and songwriter drew parallels with New York City before it became a mega city, noting “the one family which understood the value which is the Rockefellers own the city and all those lands and buildings they invested in is all paying off.”
The 46-year-old charged Ghanaians and others who care to listen that the opportunity was ripe to invest as property value in the country keep rising, stressing “whatever dollar or pound you have, you need to buy land in Ghana or wherever in Africa ASAP.”
Demonstrating his commitment to the continent, Akon is building a city in his native country Senegal named the Akon-tainment solar city. The five-time Grammy nominee told Nick Cannon the city when ready will be a renewable one with an airport.
“It’s a 10-year building block so we’re doing it in stages. We started construction in March and stage two is going to be 2025,” he added. The city will be built on “2,000 acres of land gifted to Akon from the President of Senegal.”
Akon also launched his own cryptocurrency called AKoin in 2017 and hopes it will become the common currency in Akon City and wider Africa. Given that Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey tweeted that Africa will define the cryptocurrency market for the future and that he intends living on the continent next year, it does appear Akon had seen the light earlier.
Meanwhile, Akon is making a return to Ghana for the Music in Africa Conference for Collaborations, Exchange and Showcases (ACCES) set to be held on November 28-30 to boost business linkages.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'.
