Akon has stated that he has invested over $1 Billion in China over electricity. In his remarks, here is what he has to say;
Africa lacks electricity, water, basic infrastructure, there is a lot of progress to be made. And you see the misery, you just want to help, it's no longer a frenzy, I'm not wearing jewelry anymore.
I saw so many people in need, until I feel guilty when I visit Villages putting on earrings that cost 50,000 dollars is useless.
It's just the pat in the eye that only serves to make the beauty in front of others.That's why I decided to use my money to help others.

Twitter has not issued any official statement to that regard, but everything linked to his current fraud case with the Nigerian government.
In a recent chat with the dancer, she revealed that her project for the year was to sensitize the public to the gains of giving the dance industry the same respect other industries in the entertainment sphere receive.
During a recent interview, she revealed that she had used dance to help unhappy women regain their confidence.
“I started out as a fitness trainer and I used dance to make it more enticing to both men and women because we like fun. With dancing, you would have so much fun that you would not believe the number of calories you burn in the process instead of lifting heavy weights.
"Dance takes the pain away while exercising and you would have fun as you do so."

Square Record duo Peter and Paul were arguably the biggest music duo Naija and even Africa at large has ever produced. These talented identical twins cop the stage names Mr P and Rudeboy. They were extremely exceptional and had international collaborations with Rick Ross and Akon to mention a few.
Aside being awesome at dropping good music, they put in more vibes in official visuals with several dancing steps, especially their MJ-like break-dance. They were managed by their elder brother Jude Okoye.
For several years, things went along pretty well for the record label until 2017. The team had management issues which led to their separation that same year.
Mr P and Rudeboy went solo and have dropped solo singles which has fallen below expectation.
Who is better? Taking into account the individual singles released in 2018: Rudeboy – Reason With Me is the best song he let out so far this year. After listening to this wonderful emotional tune, you would quickly draw out that he is the voice of P-Square. Now, kindly rewind back to Ifunnaya or any songs on P-Square’s projects, you could create a case for him as the mastermind behind the songs sang by P-Square though we can not be certain about who gives the most input when it comes to lyrics.
On the other hand, check out Mr P – One More Night Ft. Niniola; with awesome dancing steps and chorography. Owning to this attribute, Mr P can be said to be the better dancer and thus the mastermind behind the dancing move in most of the awesome musical videos released by P-square.
From these, we can say that Rudeboy is arguably the better singer and could be the song content maker while Mr P is the better dancer and spices up all the music videos with good vibes. Now, if P-Square was a cake, then Rudeboy is the cake-mix while Mr P is the icing.
They have been struggling ever since their disintegrationbecause they complement each other. In fact, on a solo platform they are both like upcoming artistes struggling to blow. With all these taking into consideration, it would be a smart move for them to re-unite and clear their differences.
