Akon, the famed musician, is planning a state-of-the-art city in Africa, named Akon City, with a projected cost of $6 biℓℓiо𝚗 usᴅ (around 140 trillion Vietnamese ɗo𝚗g). Drawing inspiration from the fictional nation of Wakanda, akin to Black Panther, Akon City is set to be a modern marvel, situated approximately 100 km from Senegal’s capital, Dakar.

Akon envisions his project as a source of essential jobs for Senegalese citizens and a haven for African-Americans facing racial discrimination. The city also aims to welcome visitors keen on exploring Africa. Akon aims to establish Akon City as a premier destination for global travelers seeking to experience the “dark continent.”

The city’s groundbreaking is anticipated to commence in 2021, and Akon has already secured about one-third of the required $6 biℓℓiо𝚗. The city’s architecture combines modernity with traditional cultural elements, with buildings inspired by watercourses and sculptures from ancient African villages.

Akon City will house diverse amenities, including a grand hotel with rooms designed to reflect the cultures of the 54 African nations. The city will encompass a beachfront resort, modern residential areas, a high-tech hub, recording studios, hospitals, a police station, a stadium, waste processing facilities, and a solar power plant. A cryptocurrency named Akoin will facilitate transactions within the city.

The project’s significance is praised by Senegalese authorities, given the scarce private investment amidst the global financial instability. Akon’s initiative is not only applauded for its grandeur but also for its potential to attract investors to Africa.

In Akon’s words, “We want to make Akon City a beginning for the future of Africa. Our idea is to build a city with all the latest technologies, a cryptocurrency, and the embodiment of Africa’s future society.”

Akon City embodies the real-world counterpart of Wakanda, a fictional realm in Black Panther, and is poised to reshape the African landscape.
