Senegalese-American singer, music executive, and entrepreneur Akon has stirred conversation across Africa after asserting that Nigeria could have become one of the world’s strongest and richest nations if it had maintained full control of its oil wealth from independence in 1960.
In a reflective Instagram post, Akon imagined an alternate version of history where Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, kept complete ownership and management of its petroleum resources instead of relying on foreign companies and external economic structures.
Akon suggested that in this alternate reality, Lagos would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with London, Dubai, and New York as a global financial capital, attracting top businesses, banks, and investors from around the world.
He also noted that Nigerian universities would be leading institutions in science, engineering, and technology, competing with Ivy League schools and producing groundbreaking innovations.

Akon further stated that Nollywood would surpass Hollywood in global reach and influence—an industry powered by strong local funding, advanced infrastructure, and world-class creative hubs.
He argued that the ripple effect of such economic power would not only elevate Nigeria but reshape the balance of global politics, positioning Africa as a major force in international diplomacy, trade, and culture.
While acknowledging that the past cannot be changed, Akon stressed that the message should serve as motivation rather than regret. He urged African nations to reclaim control over their natural resources, build stronger economic systems, and determine their own future.
According to him, Africa still has the potential to rise to global prominence if it maximizes its assets and invests strategically in its people.
Akon’s comments have since sparked widespread debate online, with many agreeing that mismanagement, foreign exploitation, and corruption have hindered Nigeria’s resource potential, while others believe the country can still achieve greatness with the right leadership and policies.
