Why Africa is Calling: Idris Elba and the Diaspora’s Shift Toward Opportunity
Africa as a destination for growth and opportunity
In today’s eye-opening video, TJ dives deep into a critical issue affecting the African Diaspora, including me — the growing concerns of investment scams, broken promises, and failed dreams that have impacted many trying to return to the continent to create change and build their legacy. He says, “you can come here and roll up yoursleeves have a Frontiers mindset and really get to work and there’s just so many things dying to be provided here add value to the value chain and then export just like toin was saying coming here is not for everybody I say this all the time but those that do it and pull it off even in a small way they’re the ones that are going to reap the rewards the early adopters and the first movers they carry the most risk but they also get the most reward .” TJ takes us through two high-profile examples that have sparked huge discussions: Idris Elba’s recent commitment to build a film studio in Ghana and Tanzania, contrasted with Akon’s much-publicized but controversial promise to build a crypto-powered “smart city” in Senegal, a project many investors now view as a loss. With substantial investments lost and trust shaken, many are wondering if Africa’s business potential for the Black Diaspora is simply too risky — or if there’s a way to distinguish real opportunities from empty promises.
Here is the powerful conception the diaspora envisions depicting the inspiring shift of the African diaspora returning to Africa for growth and opportunity.
If you’ve ever thought about relocating to Africa or investing in the continent’s many business sectors, this video is for you. Whether you’re a member of the Black Diaspora who dreams of returning home or simply someone curious about the current landscape of African investments, TJ provides practical advice on how to spot scams and what steps you can take to maximize your chances of success. ✨✨
🔎 Idris Elba’s Vision vs. Akon’s Controversy: A Tale of Two Projects 🔍
To set the stage, TJ highlights Idris Elba’s ambitious announcement to build a state-of-the-art film studio across Ghana and Tanzania. This commitment from a major Black actor and director has sparked excitement, particularly as it holds the promise of boosting local economies, creating jobs, and fostering the film industry in Africa. The project’s aim is to showcase Africa’s vast talents and create authentic African stories that can reach global audiences — a vision that resonates with many Africans and Diaspora members alike.
On the other hand, TJ delves into Akon’s grand vision of Akon City, a futuristic “crypto city” that was to be built in Senegal, projected to bring economic opportunities and innovation to the region. However, Akon’s plan, despite all the initial excitement, has seen mounting skepticism and disappointment as it continues to miss timelines and has yet to show tangible progress. Investors who put faith in the project have been left feeling defrauded, fueling apprehension among those looking to invest in Africa.
TJ also emphasizes the power of collaboration. He encourages the Diaspora to work together and leverage each other’s resources, knowledge, and contacts. By creating a community that supports and educates each other, the Diaspora can foster more successful ventures and reduce the likelihood of falling victim to scams.
