“I invested US$ 1 billion dollars in China to provide electricity to Africa. Africa lacks electricity, running water, basic infrastructure, there is a lot of progress to be made. When you travel and see misery, you just want to help. Showing off is no longer my delirium, I don't wear jewelry anymore. I've seen so many people in need, until I feel guilty visiting the villages. Showing up with US$ 50, 000 dollars earrings is useless. It's just tape to the eye that only serves to look good in front of others. That's why I decided to use my money to help others." -AKON #africa #Akon #money
