Schmeichel on Ighalo:

“I think he’s been one of the most positive surprises ever,” he said.

“First of all his personality around the club, he’s been a revelation around the club. Everybody has tagged on and liked him straight away.

“When you have that kind of personality, it changes the whole team. Someone who brings a laugh into the dressing room, rather than coming in grumpy or not saying anything.

“It changes the dynamics. And what he’s done on the pitch, that really has surprised me.

“I was kind of confused…because it was last day and it looked as if they were just needing and looking to bring someone in.

“But that’s not the truth. And what he’s done is just fantastic.

“And another thing as well, someone like him, all of his life the only thing he really wanted to achieve was to play for Manchester United.

“Now that has been cut short by circumstances that are out of everybody’s control. And for what he’s done, in the very few games he’s ended up playing, it would have been heartbreaking if that was to stop.

“I think he might not be a starter but he might be somebody you can throw into the mix. You’ve seen him in the Europa League, like Ole himself, he can come on and change a game.

“Nobody, nobody, knows that better than the Manchester United manager. The value of having someone on the bench who can change a game, so I’m really happy about that.”

The government of President Macky Sall of Senegal has earmarked Akon City as a special tax zone with tax breaks to be given to the City to encourage investment.
AKON CITY, SENEGAL (PRWEB) JUNE 04, 2020

Akon City has awarded the contract for building and executing the city to KE International, a US based Consulting and Engineering firm. The US $6 Billion futuristic-cryptocurrency themed City is founded by Senegalese-American superstar and philanthropist Akon.

With the awarding of the contract, KE International has secured US $4 Billion from investors for the first and second Phases of execution of Akon City, and will have Dubai based Bakri & Associates Development Consultants lead the architectural designs under KE International guidance.

KE International is known for the design and execution of the US $2 billion Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC), a green City based in Western Kenya, which began in 2014 and is expecting completion in December 2020.

MMTC, which is 85% complete, was founded by a US based Kenyan entrepreneur and Investor, Julius Mwale. MMTC is anchored by Hamptons Hospital, a large 5000 bed referral hospital which opened to the public in 2019, and recently partnered with the AKOIN platform for its blockchain based digital transactions.

The entire Hamptons Hospital will be completed by end of 2020 and is currently a reference center for COVID-19 prevention and treatment in the 14 County Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB) of Kenya, a region with a population of 16 million.

MMTC has 35,000 community residents served with a new supermarket, new and upgraded residences, Mall, Golf, thousands of solar streetlights, and is powered by 100% renewable off-grid energy. A large Artificial Intelligence Cluster to run the hospital is currently under development.

Akon City's Phase 1 is expected to complete by end of 2023, and will see the construction of roads, a Hamptons Hospital campus, a Hamptons Mall, residences, hotels, a police station, a school, a waste facility and a solar power plant.

Akon City Phase 2 will run from 2024 to 2029 and will end with a complete cryptocurrency City running exclusively on AKOIN cryptocurrency.

The initial US $4 billion investment secured by KE International for Akon City, is led by leaders in healthcare and technology infrastructure and include MMTC's Julius Mwale. Mr. Mwale's Hamptons Hospital, Mall, supermarket, solar power group, and data centers will be part of phase 1 of Akon City.

Another Co-development partner is Senegal's state tourism agency SAPCO, which will fit the City into the country's tourism vision. The government of President Macky Sall of Senegal has earmarked Akon City as a special tax zone with tax breaks to be given to the City to encourage investment.

Akon City is located on 2000 acres on the ocean, less than an hour drive South of the new International airport in Dakar.

KE International will build Akon City to be ‘Leader in Energy and Environmental Design’ (LEED)-certified, the second such City in Africa with this certification after MMTC in Kenya.

Akon City will also have parks, universities, schools, a stadium, hotels, and an industrial complex and will be fully completed by 2030.

So, someone from Senegal claims Akon City is a farce

Joebie:
This is a tweet from Akon. 6 months later someone is saying there is not city. . Why would there be a city so soon?

He even said not one proof of land, and others on ground are corroborating.

The news will say what the news wants to say, it is not necessarily proof that anything is on ground.

At least three years after a city has purportedly been put into work, there should be land, especially a city Akon has been using to promote himself as a Messiah for Africa.

We are still watching sha. We will see if anything has changed by next year. To the Senegalese people, it remains a source of laughter and a means of Chinese infiltration.

Joebie:
I heard the interview on radio Akon spoke specifically on his solar energy project as well. And that the Senegalese government didn't allow him to get a piece of the cake from other big industries they had in their control, but only allowed him in the untapped solar energy industry that was still very new. I don't think he came off as if Senegal/Africa was backward. Many black Americans especially those in the entertainment industry have spoken about the truth about Africa because they have gone and seen for themselves.

Those who think Africa are backward are mainly those who refuse to travel or listen to those that have. As a matter of fact traveling opens your eyes. You will be surprised what comes out of the mouths of lots of Americans who just stay put in their domains. This is not limited to them alone. If you have the chance travel and see. Experience different cultures too.

These are the challenges we speak of with Africa.

Hence, how unrealistic some plans appear

Jus lookat this man..

At least there is transparency in the press release with timelines. Hence, we can always do our checks. The report says it has been in the works not that anything has begun. Did the guy who twitted that stuff not see any land, or did not see a sizeable land marked out with the sign Akon City? I'm not sure I understand what he is saying. He claims to be close to the government. But Akon took pictures with what seemed to be government officials in his January tweet. Is it the same government colluding with him that Akon will accuse of shutting down his plans in future. The guy tweets sounds like conspiracy stuff. I'm wary of people like that. I rather do my checks and observe.

And how does one person's tweet represent the Senegalese people's thinking?

do more research. It will remain a big challenge. But somebody has to do something. And that doesn't mean it would be a freebie. There are no freebies. Investments are meant to yield profits.

It won't be a freebie.

It will probably go for a ridiculous amount that a sizeable part of the population won't be able to afford, then the wealthy will acquire, and rent to the middle class, so, nothing really changes and no one was really helped.

Still a reuse

It was one person's tweet, but I'm sure you know people comment under tweets, and those comments were from other Senegalese people.

I think two people at the least, can be referred to as 'Senegalese people', or, can they not?

No 2 or 3 people cannot, in the context that you wrote it.

Yes affordability is the issue. Creating enough jobs is yet another challenge. Solving the power problem does not necessarily address that to the full extent. But it all begins with ensuring there is uninterrupted power supply available to many. With competition the prices can go down eventually.

Power is not necessarily cheap here in the States. But there are lots of jobs relatively speaking. Hence, it is affordable.

Modified
Just realized you are speaking about Akon City itself. If you do further research you will realize there can be some positives in a project like this. Think of it like something that can open doors to other business possibilities not necessarily in the real estate category.

Samuel Kalu reportedly wants to go to Galatasaray

This will put Rohr in a confusion, should I play a Galatasaray player or not

Another prospect from a fast growing academy in Abia State.


Uzoho should watch out for Enyeribe Ikenna.

His surname alone has a strong message Enyi eri ibe which means an elephant can never feast on a fellow elephant, because an Igbo adage has it that "ubochi amuru dike na mba, ka-amukwara ibe ya na mba ozo" hence, Uzoho should prepare for a war, I trust this boy to give him a good run for his money


He just got signed by a Moldovan 1st division side, Balti FC


Ya kpotuba GBAMSOLUTELY!!!

Joebie:
No 2 or 3 people cannot, in the context that you wrote it.

I beg to differ.

Anyway, there are a lot of people commenting, and since the majority Senegales speak French, you can only make deductions from the posts of those who speak English.

Until there is something solid on ground, not just news articles, there is really no Akon City.

Rohr will play him no matter where he goes

Kalu won't be joining Galatasaray. Rohr has spoken to him. Yep. You heard it here first.

Yes gala is bigger than Bordeaux but he should be aiming for a bigger league from the French league than joining gala

Kelechi nwakali played today. He was subbed in in the 83rd minute. At last his career can take off from here

As already reported from a few, Kelechi Nwakali finally made his long awaited debut for Huesca as he was subbed on for the last 7mins of the game. Huesca still lost 2-1.
