Akon will supply electricity to 600 million Africans.

Man that is absolutely amazing. When I was in Nigeria, people used generators to shoot electricity for their homes. First night I was there the power cut off during my shower lol. But solar energy is the next major move and I applaud Akon for this. Like others said before there is a ton of money in Africa and unfortunately many of those people in the position of power hoard their finances.

I was going to talk about Elon musk and his solar powered battery but I believe all. Is going about it the correct way. Teaching people rather than purchasing is the best thing they can do.

The thread title is misleading.First of all this is a project from the World Bank that Akon is getting involved with.Doesn't mean Akon himself is responsible for this. Secondly ,a goal set doesn't mean the goal would be reached,this is a common occurence with World Bank Projects.Most of you guys do not read articles objectively.

The fact that it is World Bank/IMF is scary.

This is really cool, and so admirable. Good job to Akon!!!!

 

[Kenny West]

hope it works

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Props to Akon.

It's a damn shame that nobody is talking about this, but everybody is talking about that Jenner science project.

This could honestly be the greatest thing I've ever heard in life.

Good on him.

This guy should watch his back. He's doing too many good things for Africa. People like him are a threat to the white supremacist power structure.

Too many blacks are looking for Captain Blackness or messiah, yall don´t realize most of these so called black leaders and figures now a days are packaged and rolled out on cue by many powers that be.
Since when has the World Banks projects ever been good for any country? Even a 4th grader knows this.

Akon is just the poster boy for the World Bank´s program.Im not going to knock him jig dancing but lets not be so gullible about this. You can count this project as another notch under the World Banks belt and another L for African countries involved.

So dope!

 

[loyola llothta]

World Bank/IMF that a scary sight but i hope it workout

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Hopefully this Spurs on more Black entertainers to do more charitable deeds for blacks in unfortunate situations. Props to Akon though that's a decent thing to do.

How about some food?

Not even that they aren't reading the article. People just lack the adequate critical thinking skills.

It is impossible to supply electricity to 600 million people in the way the title suggests. It's simply a solar academy that teaches engineering principles of harnessing solar power. "Supplying electricity to 600 million people" is just a figurative way of saying, "there are 600 million people in Africa receiving inconsistent or no power supply". Nice attention grabber though.

In any case, it's a very admirable initiative. Oil and gas is a finite resource, and Africans need to start from now to ween themselves off of its dependence.

i bet ISIS will fukk this up somehow

Agree with Snoop. This need to be on the news all day every day. Not bytch Jenner.
