How d f do you compare a continent to a country

America is a continent, USA is a country

Flashh:
But you left Africa, for America to blow.

No mind the mumu,how many foreign artist come to africa to perform concert if not via invitation

milehigh06:
Did Akon not become well known and rich by his exploits in America?
Would he have become that big if he was in Senegal..he would have released his songs in french and no way would he have gotten the kind of artists to feature on his songs like he was able to

Akon..just stop it

He's seen and now he's giving us feedback, the key info is where he said we have to be promoting positives about Africa. and yes more people die in America but you'll hardly hear or read about it

Some petty Nigerians will absorb this nonetitical statement of his with the usual shameful lines like "an average american isnt better off than an average african"


Lies kill Akon there

Ode be deceiving us... Why not pack ur load and come down to africa

Yet, he's iiving in America and ALL his children live in America.
Akon my guy...leave story.

Experience is the best teacher. Let me live in the US for ten years first, then I'llbe able to compare. Just like you did.

tohyorsih2:
I concur.

Kindly grant me a chat with you.

He's talking as a business man

magicminister:


America is a continent, USA is a country

The Americas arevthe continents
South America and North America

When you generally speak of America you relate to USA
And lets go further..if he is speaking of The Americas..north and south..you need to get out of your African enclave and see how well developed the world is

NOETHNICITY:
Been telling Nigerians that America isn't that paradise we ignorantly think it is.
America has higher crime rate than Nigeria

America has 1000s unresolved murder cases

I prefer a Nigeria where I earn 500k monthly to an America where I may earn 3 to 4k monthly pay.

where do you see N500k jobs in Nigeria?

milehigh06:


Which nigerian job pays you 500k monthly...nigeria has no credible source of the number of people who die monthly so there is no basis for comparism...3k dollars is about 900k before taxes a month..you dont have light,your leaders rob tou blind,no good roads,tribalism but yet you prefer that

My 500k,with the potential to increase this, is preferable to that $3k which comes after slaving my ass on multiple jobs a day in the USA, paying numerous unexplained taxes and stands the risk of being treated as a 3rd class citizen with no right.

Not bragging bro, in Nigeria I live happily like a king

He is a black American, buh he decided to come back to his roots , in Senegal, he currently lives in Senegal

Truth is bitter, Africa good die!

midolian:
It is simple. Come back to Africa

Don’t mind the MAN
he should start by going back home

That is turu

JjBankys:
Simple Come back to African. Nonsense

With this type of grammar I doubt he will

BeiFangLaye:

You dont see it cos you dont do your research...cant stand people with such dumb comments..
I have seen a lot of positive stories on Africa and also a lot of negatives and i can tell you that i have seen much more negative stories on American living that i will ever see on African living..just watch shows like vice,live cops,skidcrow stories and see a part of America that your african media probably will never show you and thats on y'all

RealityShot:

Bros, lots of people I know make alot more than 500k monthly. 500k monthly is considered peanut among people I know.

500k monthly is no big deal bro

undiluted rubbishness!... the shithole is cursed with irresponsible, SELF-SERVING, redundant, bloodthirsty RULERS! #FACT!

Akon i miss some of your music sha..But ,if you believe Africa is better,just come back to Africa..

PrecisionFx:

U did not understand Akon

i quite did

God bless you big time for this, people in Nigeria tend to spoil their image , Africa is the best place in the planet,the most fertile land,west Africa are the kings of gold on the planet and if not for bad leaders Nigeria was the second in oil in the world, most people out there know the truth tho, but their hunger won't let dem think, we just need leaders that are not greedy, so we can move forward

GOSPEL TRUTH

God bless you Akon for saying the truth

sinaj:
They are always quick to put up negative stories about Africa but you will hardly hear anything bad about their country on the media

Yes, every country has negative stories.. But that doesn't mean Africans shouldn't have built hospitals to treat their own people..

Whites didn't tell African leaders to be looting like the sudanese ex president..

Whites didn't tell Africans not to produce anything, but buy luxury items from whites. No, we decided not to produce the TV we watch, we decided not to produce the phones we use, we decided to be importing fuel even when we have oil every where..

Whites didn't tell us not to fix our electricity. We chose to be stupid enough not to fix that.

Whites didn't tell us not to invest in education. No, they didn't. We decided to loot the money for education.

Whites didn't tell us to be paying our leaders, senators, massively while the civil servants suffer and earn poorly.

Whites didn't tell us to have the mind of looting and looting and looting something we can't finish in 100 years as individuals..

Whites didn't tell us to lie about how much it cost to start and complete government funded projects..

Whites didn't tell us to use poor materials to complete government projects..

Whites didn't tell our leaders to be sending their kids abroad for education while they abandon the education we have here to suffer..

Whites didn't tell us to be sending our president to UK for treatment..

Abeg, make una leave whites alone. Africa would sell on her own when we do the right things.. Asia sold on her own becus the leaders and the people did the right thing

Look at United Arab Emirate. It sold becus the leaders are visionary..

Great talk from a great African legend.
He is always in support of his continent not only his country (Senegal).

And...

I always see Akon as an example to all Africans .

the images they show about Africa are so negative. It’s conditioning what we believe. Africa has a rich story too. More people died in Chicago, more school shootings in America" he said

I salute Akon for this boldness. They’ve killed lots of people in the past. People that really wanna changed the world to be a better place. I just hope somedays the blacks would get to know see the truth. The al time wealthiest man in the history was from Africa. His Riches were beyond all the existing money figures!

How d f do you compare a continent to a country

AMERICA IS A CONTINENT ...UNITED STATE IS A COUNTRY.....UNITED STATE OF THE CONTINENT CALLED AMERICA....SO HE IS COMPARING AFRICA AS A CONTINENT TO AMERICA AS A CONTINENT TOO..
