Akon in Nigeria

[SonnyLondon1]

Akon Advocating some 4-one-9 in Nigeria

[cingle2004jp]

Vaguely familiar to the scene, but sounds fantastic

[CushiticSomalianMale]

yea man, Akon the black muslim broda, straight from Senegal.........

[MobHeataEnt]

what akon is muslim? i though he was christian. I know mos def is muslim, but akon? with all his booty poppin on the floor videos.

[Xaymaicana]

pls. there are some socalled orthodox muslims who do worst things than Akon, religion dont mean anything when it comes to character.

[MobHeataEnt]

sure i know so no one is perfect, i know many but not when you go on tv and your famous and you put out a bad image your out there representing your people you should do so, so that people will look up to you not look down on you.

[bfree2live]

Well, the fact that he does all of that makes me question if he lives by the principles of Christianity OR Islam.

[newyorkowner]

???africa???wtf

[akpi999]

Yeaahhh ur mother is the fuck...creep...cabron de mierda

[02034498096]

just commentibg on observatiuons, its to my amazing the types of languages beem used to make points. i am nigerian and i want no part to this rubbish. iam not a saint by any imagination, but moral values are to be upheld, regardless of difference in opinions. fear and intimidations do not further our diversity, but prolong our inabilities progress positively.not particularly in regards to this video, but in general matters concerning nigeria,and other commenters where ever they be from.

[vcdevideo]

You are with a blk bf, and you think yourself is different from him and his native folks, so what's left between you and him.

[MouseOfVirtue]

would it be real dangerous for a white girl to go to a concert like this with her Naija born bf?

[calexculux]

haha

[freeliger]

y would it b dangerous! it's not like blacks r the most dangerous ppl. u know we r actually nice ppl. of course it ok 2 go. actually most blacks like seeing white ppl in their midst. of course u should go:):)

[Xaymaicana]

now freeliger its one thing to tell her to go its another to lie, most blks cant stand and actually despise the sight of white ppl but that doesnt mean we will hurt them, we for the most part are peaceful ppl by nature.

[mannieovw]

what kind of ignorance is that?

[MouseOfVirtue]

Ya you're right , that was ignorant. I dont know what I was thinking. I just used to ntoice when I was with this man that a lot of people werent fond of me being with him. Especially black girls.

[Xaymaicana]

it never cease to humor me how ignorant you whites girls can truely be. its amazing how important u all want to be to us blk women, it pathetic. most of us dont give a damn if youre with black men, we are too busy living our lives, go find some self-security and stop worrying about how many blk women you can piss off. grow up.

[shanaekt]

nice comment sis she seem to have a chip on her shoulders poor soul i truely weep for white people's future they have no culture, no soul and from time time no character wow!

[Xaymaicana]

eactly my point.

[Mattymat1212]

i love nigeria! sooo home sick=(

[africcafooolife]

gurlll i know what u meannn

[uberino]

omo Akon is tite abeg.

[blaquecherry419]

akon's full name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam

[guchy4kc]

mehhhhnnn....dats sum looooooooooooooooonnnnnngggggg­g name boi!!!!

[CosCanino]

How can living in America make you an American? Even if you were born in America, you would still be an African and not African American.

[blaquecherry419]

point of correction..akon wasnt given birth to in america

[blaquecherry419]

read what you said two weeks ago then you'll know why i corrected you....you said his heritage is in america like duh..you should be the one who shouldnt say something if you dont know what you talking bout

[shayeeX]

u know its easier to say "born" instead of "given birth to"

[CW043]

@umesegha This is the most ridiculous exchange... if you ask any Caucasian their nationality and decendency they will Say German, English, Scottish, Irish ect... but not peoples of African descent... WE continue a legacy of division.

It is so very sad.

[CW043]

@umesegha This is rediculous!

Akon is Senagalese... you are a Nigerian.

[shadowforreal]

akon doing his thig in my home town rpresenting africa this guy is representing da whole africa one love greatest fan

[xxMulatto]

No matter where he's born, he's Senegalese and not afroamerican ..

[fatimah29]

i cant believe akon's nationality has become an issue. no one has the right to say what an individual's nationality is. i can see if he was born to american parents but his parents are senegalese, so how is he 100% american? i was born in the states and my parents are sierra leonean. i consider myself a sierra leonean. i grew up in an african household, lived in sierra leone for a short period, eat african food and speak the language so i now who i am, just like akon know who he is.

[jsmnjilljac]

oh c'mmon... stop dis debate about wer he was born... as long as he knoes his roots of wer he comes frm n he does not forget hez ppl....

[MissAngie25]

the man was born in the US, but is roots are in Africa the same goes for all africna americans.

[benthere002]

One's opinion does not change a fact. Aliaum Thiam(Akon) was born in St. Louise, MO. check you facts before you form an opinion.

[timmynaija]

why do peple talk much about this ..

he says he is an african but he was born in the states and grew upto 10 years in senegal then moved back to the states...he said that many times..

but should that be a problem to any one..

an a nigerian and lives in sweden and soon a swed but that doesnt stop me from from being a nigerian.

[timmynaija]

you are right..and people should take facts than jumping into things that doesnt yeild out any fact.

[blademanx]

Akon is Senegalese!!

[timmynaija]

where will he go to with his senegalese ideentity?

he said he is an african but an american born..

why do people talk much about nothing from what is not surpose to be an arguiment.

[ridim2007]

Hey Akon was born in Africa...not in U.S

[proudnijagirl]

actually he was really born in U.S. but his fmaily moved back to senegal when he was a baby so grew up in senegal, and returned in U.S at the age of 7.

[thenonye]

This is a funny and stupid argument,Akon is Senegalese and nuthin can take that away , i was born in the US to Nigerian parents i had an American passport long before i got a Nigerian passport, but till i die i am a Nigerian body, mind and soul.The same way akon is Senegalese period.

[CosCanino]

Thanks for that breakdown, it's plain and simple.

[ATTAHJERRY]

preach on brotha

[jayman0501]

thenonye...thats a personal choice,if one choses to be american,then fine,if you chose to identify with where your parents are from then fine,its a personal choice.i find that in most cases,kids born/raised in america are more american than african,if they go to africa,they get stared at coz of the accent,the dressing,the general demeanor..u get?they ususally dont fit nor undestand the culture well enough...thats why its hard for you to enter politics in africa coz africans cant identify with u

[Mikelobi]

being african is not about being born on the continent, its about the belief, knowledge, and love. tell that to his father if his son is not african, and receive a slap.

[CosCanino]

For sure

[lollypop036]

umm..ua he was born in senegal

[aurea73]

he's cool

[Peece25]

Akon keep doing your thing

[atlmuzikfanzinc]

Akon is African, and like you said both his parents are Senegalese,so wouldn't that make him the same even if he was born in America.

[bombsheltah]

Who gives a fuck what he is. Play the music enjoy it and shut the fucup. People always wanna claim you when you are rich or famous. If he wasnt "Akon" y'all wouldnt give a fuc. Crack a beer and watch oprah pathetic fools.

[benthere002]

Viasafe( i'm sure u do have an African Passport?) Why does Akon need a visa to go to some African countries?By the way, try calling a Ghanian a Nigerian and i'm very certain that person will quickly correct u. One's Nationality is quite different from one's Ancestry. I do take pride in what Akon has done for Senegal specifically and Africa in general.just letting u know his Nationality.

[viasafe]

I hear what you are saying. Believe me, Akon is african. He even claims he's a african living in american. His dad was a musician, working in America. He just happens to be born in America. So if I'm a diplomat working around the world, and I end up having kids in other countries, they can't claim their nigerian heritage? Ones nationality is the way he or she speaks, acts,etc. Not what a piece of paper says.

[benthere002]

Love to u Akon. For clearification, Aliaune Thiam a.k.a "Akon", is neither Nigerian nor Senegalese. He was born in St.Louis to Senegales parents(Mor & Kine Thiam). If he's Senegales, does that make Barack Obama a Kenyan? His father was from Kenya. Much love to all my Liberians.

[viasafe]

Being african comes from th heart, not where you were born. Akon is AFRICAN. He has a house in africa and goes there time to time. HE IS AFRICAN.

[CosCanino]

I agree with this comment. He is African, hundred years from now, he kids and greatgrand kids would be African regardless of being born in the US or Europe.

[oroge]

shut up you idiot akon is senegalese he comes home evry year and speaks his language fucking moron

[ddosunkeye]

may God punish your generation for pasting this to forum, you are bastard and you unproud of Nigeria progress. May you die young and die...you are bastard

[oroge]

God punish me for stating facts???

spoken like a true moron.

[ddosunkeye]

maga, what is fact you saying, don't you know it is worldwide forum and you are not even appreciating him for coming to the mutha land...you are just a fool and give your self brain

[oroge]

dick head read the comment I was replying before come and talk shit.............

some american fool was saying that akon is not african. so I stated facts he is a proud african who comes to his country every year and speaks his language.

then you come and start cursing blindly.

what do you know about my feelings towards my countrys progress?? you epitomise what is wrong with people today quick to draw arms but slow to reason.

[calexculux]

why, what's the prob?

[calexculux]

what, why 're u cursing?

[dizzle3000]

AKON IZ SENEGALISE...

[kikelomonaija]

naijas can chop mouth ....lol ...lol

[CosCanino]

For real, we need more Afrikanz to break through that mainstream

[culbriz]

Well it's about time some Wolof brothers and sisters finally get some respect in the American music industry. Akon is the bomb!!!

[culbriz]

Are you telling me Akon is Nigerian? He's a baaaaaaaad man!

[funkky1]

HE'S SENEGALESE, NOT NIGERIAN.
