Same Akon that said Africa is better than America. Akon is on an African self esteem and feel good mission. He saying what he wants to believe. Soon he will say Naira is better than dollars.

The problem with many of us is that we look down on ourselves.
The real truth is that there are more potentials here than there.
Our major problem is tapping up those potentials. But the likes of dangote them have tapped it up.

How many black American billiiniaires are even worth one third of the wealth of dangote?
There are more richer dollars millionaires in Nigeria than the ones in entire black America.

I remember when I was schooling abroad and one of my foreign classmate confessed to me one day that he had a terrible perception of Africans until schooling one on one with us and he has been humbled.

Akon is talking about their upcoming artists and and indirectly, his saying they are supporting their upcoming artists with the video shoot which Nigerians musicians can't do. At least Akon can't tell me lil Wayne is poor, birdman, 50cent, jazzy, and many top rappers there don't have cars.

yes,America has the best Military. Stop this Fairytales

Did you just state that America has best military ? Emancipate your self from shackles of ignorance I can't believe you just publicly stated this

In terms of development,you can’t even compare the so called almighty America to countries like South Korea,Japan and Singapore.

There are lot of these Americans here in China struggling and working as English teachers.

Chinese are crossing the boarder like Mexicans into America illegally. I saw one that was caught and I was like Chinese again? All those countries you mentioned, their citizens are hustling for American visa everyday. All their citizens full America. Korean Americans, Japanese Americans.

You call someone teaching English in China struggling? Then you need to see Chinese selling sushi in America

Very true ,

I can tell u is a lie. Akon is talking about their upcoming artists and and indirectly, his saying they are supporting their upcoming artists with the video shoot which Nigerians musicians can't do.

Akon my man, it's been long he released an album, it seems he took off time to rest.

if they were to pay tax as their American counterparts, equation for balance

Don't mind them.Someone that is not enlightened just ranting on every post saying someone is not enlightened.
Let them go and settle down in the US and live luxurious lifestyles and see whether dem no go run back to Naija after some years.

KingAzubuike:
That's true because there are thousands upon thousands of street and gangster rappers in the U.S. davido and co surely get money pass all those ones but if we dey talk about the elite rappers, an unknown davido and his cohorts no go even enter top 1000.

Very correct. Davido and Wizkid might be richer than Lil Baby, Casanova, Young Buck, Gunna and the likes, but they can't be richer than Rick Ross, Drake, and other 'A-list' American rappers.

If there's anything at all that has remarkably improved in the last decade in America...
It's their number of mlionaires....
America has 14 million millionaires, the largest in the world....
The next country is China with 3 million....
Nigeria is not even ranked at all.....
Don't let the media hype of dangote, otedola etc fool u...
Nigeria elites is very insignificant, we not even number 1 in Africa.....

But ill Wayne is broke right now

Most of their houses, cars etc are on mortgage cos of their good credit report

Hence they can buy anything they want without having the "physical" cash

But here in Nigeria... You buy everything with cash hence it's kinda difficult for an 18 year old to own a house or car

So when you see Psquare buying a mansion in Banana Island... Then you gotta give it to them...

SarkinYarki:

can't broke like wizkid.

That's just what akon won't tell them bro.. There are too many rappers in the U.S. an average teenage gangster in the U.S is a rapper

It is not about music alone, most things people sees in America as the best are not true in reality, American police are worst than SARS, they sees themselves like Rambo, security in American is nothing to write home about too many things wrong over there but they report that we are the bad one, we lack security, we are poor etc unfortunately we have allow that to get into our head and we are heading towards who they told us we are.

The real society we should have emulated are Japanese, Chinese, Australians, Germans, Koreans etc those are real healthy society not the fake Hollywood society we wants to copy.

If you can spend just one month in the U
S you will come back a rewrite this your post

Do those American rappers use security escorts as Davido and co do in nija ...answer No

Ask your self, why is it that immigrants bound for deportation do unimaginable things including jumping through high rise buildings even though it might cause their lives

I agree with u completely. Africans are doing an great stuffs here and out there. I just don’t think it want us the overhype the reality also cos that would lead to a false mindset that we have arrived when we are just starting.

Dangotes wealth has not had any great effect on Nigeria as a country. Wizkid or P-square doing well are few out of a thousand struggling and faking it in the industry not because of lack of talent bt unfavorable conditions here.

Baba naija na zoo for now. I don't know about tomorrow. but as at today, living in Nigeria should be among the 100 ways to die.

I music aspect yes but in terms of bad government and corruption NO(IF WE HAVE GOOD ROADS, WATER AND ELECTRICITY ORDINARY SOCIAL AMENITES and there's CORRUPTION TRUST ME NOBODY WILL COMPLAIN OR CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH A POLITICIAN IS LOOTING

He is just joking!!

Studyinchina200:
Am talking in terms of infrastructures not military or entertainment.
