Senegalese-American Entertainer, Akon has shared an interesting perspective on why Africa is better than America.
According to the music mogul, it is the media that is portraying Africa in the negative light:

‘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

He further stated in the video that Africans need to start telling their positive stories to their children and stop the spread of negative news about the continent, as the media are always quick to pick this up and spread further to the rest of the civilized world.

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

tohyorsih2:


Original one for that matter

pickatyou:
In corruption and under development, yes.

If to say u no been dey Gods own country you for just be one motor park tout.

And if you say the media is portraying bad image, what of we that live in it. If given an opportunity I will portray Africa using Nigeria (the capital shithole of Africa ) as a case study in bad light , cos I have seen the bad, bad and the ugly in this god forsaken land of ours.

megareal:

Demarketing on social media by ranting may not create the change we need. What stops us from going to the seat of power to protest? What stops us invading our representative 's houses and demanding accountability? What stops us blocking the road to any Government house and waiting for our Governor to speak to us and institute people friendly programs and policies? What stops us going to our state houses of assembly to demand for better representations, laws etc? Reason is that we subconsciously believe that others will fight for us while we wail. Foreign powers can't do anything for us if we can't do it for ourselves. Its not a factional thing, it should be collective. If the youths don't wake up and physically demand better leadership and accountability, the leaders won't ever take us serious. It should be a mass movement that is contagious.

If we also do not become the change we want by living right, we will continue to de marketing ourselves to our detriment as we have already learnt.

highness25:

Loz can you believed the nonsense? African is better than America.

Ahmed0336:
no matter how hard you explain many youths will never see it from that perspective.

it's all good!!

NOETHNICITY:
U re absolutely correct bro

I know a couple of guys who were doing relatively fine in Nigeria. The left in search of greener pasture

Almost all of them are regretting it.

One of them warned me not to contemplate leaving Nigeria
Dude relocated to Canada with his family
A guy sharing flat with them started fuuucking his wife.

Dude can't dare do much about it
He is stuck
If he files for divorce he loses everything
and the guy fuuuuucking his wife will no longer be hiding to do it

OGHENAOGIE:
Africa is better yet Buhari go to UK for treatment...for Ghanaian president died in the US...many of our professional athletes who live big are those playing abroad...Akon should tell that de are potential for Africa to be great if the right templates are set but this one I completely disagree...ask ur self the amount of money pple abroad send back to Nigerians here u ll understand...fidel Castro was treated and died in Cuba...so what are we saying

Mbitiouz69:
our health facilities are beneath ,it is clear and we all know that but do you know if we have good leaders that are not greedy, we in Africa would move further and security, health and others will be great and world class in Africa, they are a lot of things I'll love to have spoke about but it would be really long, one thing is DAT many African , don't bliv good can come out from Africa, they put themselves beneath, its not always the government, the people are a part of the government too, the people's mentality is not favouring other citizens that are positive, our athletes do big abroad cause they have great talents that are appreciated more over there .
