Africa Is Better Than America - Akon by EmagNig(m): 8:12am On Apr 21, 2019 |
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.

Its hard to do bro. No proper education going on around here. Many Nigerians don't know their history, hence they don't know themselves. They believe everything the whites (who don't really know us) says about us. And our leaders, they like it like that ![]() 51 Likes 8 Shares |

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. 73 Likes 8 Shares |

I dissent from his erroneous statement. If Africa were to be better than America,Africans wouldn't be emigrating from their respective countries in droves in search of green pastures abroad. But Africa possesses tremendous potentials to outpace America in terms of development and advancement evident in the fact that Africa is the home to limitless human and natural resources.Unfortunately,dearth of percipient leadership is impeding our progress as a continent.Power-hungry african leaders have the flawed mentality about power as an avenue for self aggrandizement instead of actualization of the common good of the people.That is why most African countries are mired in pervasive corruption.That is why Africa still remain backward in spite of its endless potentialities. 59 Likes 7 Shares |

Africa is not better but Africa is good. We have a rich history, rich culture, artifacts and lots of natural resources. Africa is just cursed with terrible leaders. But the people and the society is good, (discount the few bad eggs, they are everywhere). However foreign media do us no good and we don't do ourselves good either. Example is Nairaland where the average youth has nothing good to say about their nation, women, culture, religion etc. We will never be taken seriously if we don't take ourselves seriously. Our people say, the owner calls his house wretched and the neighbors help him set it on fire. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
