The "Chinese debt trap" refers to the criticism that China intentionally lends money to developing countries for infrastructure projects under its Belt and Road Initiative knowing they will struggle to repay the loans. This then gives China leverage over those countries.

He toured the world and Africa met with pan-Africans. Understand their plight and form alliances.
No he's not. Akon approached bank of America first and was denied. He then stepped to African diaspora and was declined unless he threw down a ridiculous down payment that he couldn't come up with. He then went n begged Putin in Russia who gave him something to work with but not enough to finish foundation so Akon was forced to go to China where they gave him the 1 billion dollar infrastructure loan that Akon now pays back yearly. It's public record ya big dummy what stopped you from looking it up?? You enjoy believing in liars?? You know why umars not in jail right now? Cause a few white investors came in last minute n helped fund his foolery. Ask Umar to drop his last quarterly financial report n see for yourself. I really can't stand people like you.

I'm a Black African born in America not by choice, my ancestors were captives here. Africa needs body guards. Africa is so wealthy it's overflowing. Can't wait until they unite. America's dollar is NOTHING. We can't even have cell phones or drive cars without Africa. The CONTINENT of Africa needs to unite.

5:43 "AFRICA HAVE NO FRIENDS." Damn man I'm African American and I felt that in my soul because it true. People only want to take from Africa, but when it comes to giving back too africa it's like nobody knows africa.
Dr. Johnson is right. Africans wherever they come from should be one and united. Africans from Africa should not speak down on African-Americans and vice versa. I am West African living in Canada and anytime I am in the States, I always receive a warm welcome from Black Africans anytime I am in the States. They are the best. It is always a pleasure listening to Umar Johnson.
I was in Dakar this christmas and the locals are not really to happy with Akon city. Drove along it and did not see much except for ongoing construction, which you will find everywhere in Senegal
@ajlomax603 fake school? He's shown he is committed and a lot of progress has been made on it. I did have doubts before but I am fully convinced and support his vision for the school. I wouldn't be too negative about it because I have seen huge progress
@jamesosei6888 can u point me to the link of this school he's been building for 20 years....or progress on it this man just talk to sound intelligent but all he does is criticize everything he sees anyone else black is doing...😂😂😂
If Akon defaults on the loan(Fail to pay it off) Which more then likely will happen they will then take control over the projects that he was at the for front of and they will be the decision makers, they will make policy, they will police cause they now have control over it I personally think that’s was the plan straight from the beginning
When you've gone through colonialism but were fortunate enough not to go through slavery, you will most likely find it hard to relate to the experiences of those brothers and sisters who were enslaved and stripped of their indigenous languages and cultures. But we must find away to overcome this source of division between continental Africans and those Africans taken to the Americas.
Blacks are native to the earth all of us didn’t come from Africa, and to hear him constantly refer to us as such is what keeps me off board. Other than that he’s pretty much on point but all good salesmen are…

Why? America has no extradition powers in akon city. All they can do is tell akon he can't come back to America or he'll face jail. That won't stop American money's already being funneled in to akon city thru his family and their offshore accounts n businesses. Ohh no what a punishment to never come back to America (heavy sarcasm).
@@nwkla_ Umar does the same thing. Except unlike Umar akon has a place you can build a home and a thriving business. I'd stay in America right now too. The dollar is strong. It'll pay that Chinese loan off quicker. Why didn't bank of America fund akon when akon asked them tho?? Face it black pan African wannabes are simply that. Wannabes. They'll never follow thru. Akon offered freedom . Black Americans live slavery or they would've invested. Kanye was right. N-&&@$ is choosing slavery. Trump gave you stimulus right. Biden already took it back and took more. Who's the black community vote for?? Biden.. hopefully they won't do that dumb 💩 again.
@@nwkla_ Never mind that 🤡,he has previously said some really bigoted things about black Americans, when his people are wiping their behinds with their hands .
I bet you this guy never traveled to Senegal or learned the local language and spent a month or two there without communication or influence from U.S. music/culture media. Akon is making huge moves and the Chinese have actually been supportive of African modernization where they struggle just trying to build roads cause in African countries you have regions where Monsoons happen that wreck anything you build.
I see what you are saying but Dr Umar has travelled to Africa on several occasions, he is well versed and lists those countries like the palm of his hands. Secondly, its about the bigger picture, its not only Akon but African presidents signing deals left right with China. Its good for economic and industrial boosts in the short to mid term, but Africa will never be sovereign and stronger if all this debt is accrued. That is why he doesn’t support Akon here, Akon gains in the short to mid but as a Pan Africanist like Umar, one needs sustainable and sound progress with no shackles.
@down-b8197 Kenya defaulted on a loan for a Port they claim the Chinese would take it but they refinance Kenya still owns it be careful reading propaganda news Always check for a follow up story
Bravo. That’s why I don’t follow umar anymore. Black Americans are not African and not of their linuage. People still believe that bull that Umar is pushing. Where is the imaginary school located ?
That's a contradiction 2 call Black Americans American African when Akon directly criticize Black American Music and give the props 2 Africans bcuz he knows that we're not the same. If that was the case then he wouldn't defrenciate us

Akon borrow the money but he’s paying it back I’m sure the Chinese government will have some type of say in what goes on there nobody gives you that type of loan without something attached
@@deesimmons1803good for u! but I'm talking to the people who identify as FBA'S, I'm not talking to fake AFRICANS who don't live in AFRICA or not tryna unite AFRICA
I think the Interviewer should’ve corrected Dr. Umar.. Yess the Chinese paid the money, but the money was loaned .. and in Akons words on the Interview with Vladtv, the money is already paid back.
It’s definitely true and been news since forever now. “African” is an English word the word is Afrikan. We can’t respect what we don’t know and most don’t know who they are. Everyone else does though lol
Akon city is financed by private investors and US based Kenyan business man Julius Mwale is one of them. Dr Umar is mixing up the 1bn usd line of credit Akon got from China to provide solar energy throughout Africa.
The problem with us black people is that we talk too much. If our African American family had put their money in Akon city and by large Africa,there wouldn't be any need for Akon to take the chainese money. Black Americans must put their money in things that means much to them. We as black people must stop these finger pointing and get busy doing something about our situation as black people period otherwise it will always be us against one another to the advantage of the very ones who have dominated us.
Everything Umar Johnson said is absolutely true, especially when it comes to Akon & egotistical city 🌃...Just one☝🏿correction tho, our beloved motherland is Alkebulan🌍, & not this meaningless word y’all keep using “africa” that the colonizers/enslavers called our land...Many thanks for sharing your uncompromising broadcast...👊🏿

5:43 "AFRICA HAVE NO FRIENDS." Damn man I'm African American and I felt that in my soul because it true. People only want to take from Africa, but when it comes to giving back too africa it's like nobody knows africa.
Dr Umar just always being honest about Africans worldwide and our leadership, keep it up brother blessings 🙏👑💪😎.
This is what happens to a mofo when he read's no theory.
Dr. Johnson is right. Africans wherever they come from should be one and united. Africans from Africa should not speak down on African-Americans and vice versa. I am West African living in Canada and anytime I am in the States, I always receive a warm welcome from Black Africans anytime I am in the States. They are the best.
It is always a pleasure listening to Umar Johnson.
1:53 the hand that pays is the hand that rules.
Akon was born right here in USA no matter what his background is
Akon was born in the USA, but not raised here. He was raised in Senegal.
@@zerocool1032 If you are born in any of the 50 states of the USA you are American.
@@zerocool1032 what is your point that’s what I said also
Akon is not a foundational black American
@@nickhall7995 lol
People that think they know what they're doing
... but don't ...
are dangerous to themselves ... and everyone around them.
Damn am from Africa but damn he spit facts maan
It’s common sense to comprehend what he said
The problem is that Akon, like many Africans, don't feel accepted by Black Americans. The problem is on both sides
he felt accepted enough to make their music and millions of dollars off them
Akon used our culture to get rich then dissed us I'm not surprised at all.
I learned something today DR UMAR thank you brother God bless you ❤
I was in Dakar this christmas and the locals are not really to happy with Akon city. Drove along it and did not see much except for ongoing construction, which you will find everywhere in Senegal
I do not know what exactly Akon said but I'm with Dr Umar on the issue of unity. We need to focus.
Please preach Dr Umar. I am a Liberian. U are speaking for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🤲👐🤲
I don't want this interview to end. Love listening to Dr Umar❤
Be sure to ask him about that fake school and what he does with the donation money 😁👍🏾
@ajlomax603 fake school? He's shown he is committed and a lot of progress has been made on it. I did have doubts before but I am fully convinced and support his vision for the school. I wouldn't be too negative about it because I have seen huge progress
So youre a black supremacist rasict too then?
@jamesosei6888 can u point me to the link of this school he's been building for 20 years....or progress on it this man just talk to sound intelligent but all he does is criticize everything he sees anyone else black is doing...😂😂😂
@@ajlomax603yup I'd like to know myself too all this man does is go around and criticizes everything other blacks are doing
So akon let Asians give him Loans to make a city in Africa, that means they will own it when he's done building it..🤔
If Akon defaults on the loan(Fail to pay it off) Which more then likely will happen they will then take control over the projects that he was at the for front of and they will be the decision makers, they will make policy, they will police cause they now have control over it I personally think that’s was the plan straight from the beginning
@@nigelballam9575why do you think it will default? Why my guys, why?
When you've gone through colonialism but were fortunate enough not to go through slavery, you will most likely find it hard to relate to the experiences of those brothers and sisters who were enslaved and stripped of their indigenous languages and cultures. But we must find away to overcome this source of division between continental Africans and those Africans taken to the Americas.
Blacks are native to the earth all of us didn’t come from Africa, and to hear him constantly refer to us as such is what keeps me off board. Other than that he’s pretty much on point but all good salesmen are…
If that's the case then explain how the oldest human was found there?
Lmao prove it goofy. Our race started in Africa. The original homosapien is from Africa. If your blood doesn’t come from Africa than you are a sub human mixed with Neanderthal
Black Americans are not Africans. People still falling for that bull
@@user-pp8fq6mm4f just because the oldest human remains found in modern history was discovered there doesn’t mean that’s the first person to walk the earth. How do you know she didn’t journey there from somewhere else with a tribe of people… anyway like I said Black is native to the earth not exclusively in Africa.
@@JayRasheed718Pure speculation. No evidence
I say Amen, and Hallelujah, you hit Hammer on the Nail, God Bless.
I am african haitian I am with you a 100% brother Umar. The very people of Africa are riches.
Remember me? Proud of you for finally embracing this concept. I knew you would. Now you’re a true pan African and I’m with you all the way.
@drumar
Akon better hope that girl don’t file charges
Why? America has no extradition powers in akon city. All they can do is tell akon he can't come back to America or he'll face jail. That won't stop American money's already being funneled in to akon city thru his family and their offshore accounts n businesses. Ohh no what a punishment to never come back to America (heavy sarcasm).
@@accaziahs.180 notice he always in America telling people how better Africa is
@@nwkla_ Umar does the same thing. Except unlike Umar akon has a place you can build a home and a thriving business. I'd stay in America right now too. The dollar is strong. It'll pay that Chinese loan off quicker. Why didn't bank of America fund akon when akon asked them tho?? Face it black pan African wannabes are simply that. Wannabes. They'll never follow thru. Akon offered freedom . Black Americans live slavery or they would've invested. Kanye was right. N-&&@$ is choosing slavery. Trump gave you stimulus right. Biden already took it back and took more. Who's the black community vote for?? Biden.. hopefully they won't do that dumb 💩 again.
@@nwkla_ Never mind that 🤡,he has previously said some really bigoted things about black Americans, when his people are wiping their behinds with their hands .
I bet you this guy never traveled to Senegal or learned the local language and spent a month or two there without communication or influence from U.S. music/culture media.
Akon is making huge moves and the Chinese have actually been supportive of African modernization where they struggle just trying to build roads cause in African countries you have regions where Monsoons happen that wreck anything you build.
Didn't the chinese try to take control of a airport in Africa?
I see what you are saying but Dr Umar has travelled to Africa on several occasions, he is well versed and lists those countries like the palm of his hands.
Secondly, its about the bigger picture, its not only Akon but African presidents signing deals left right with China. Its good for economic and industrial boosts in the short to mid term, but Africa will never be sovereign and stronger if all this debt is accrued. That is why he doesn’t support Akon here, Akon gains in the short to mid but as a Pan Africanist like Umar, one needs sustainable and sound progress with no shackles.
@@ewolz said that perfectly bro
@down-b8197 Kenya defaulted on a loan for a Port they claim the Chinese would take it but they refinance Kenya still owns it be careful reading propaganda news Always check for a follow up story
“Africa has no friends “ that’s facts
What has Akon said about American blacks that’s not true? I’ll wait
He be killing me with that African shit. Black Americans are not Africans! We have our own lineage & culture here that comes solely from us.
Nah you're just low IQ
Lol
Bravo. That’s why I don’t follow umar anymore. Black Americans are not African and not of their linuage. People still believe that bull that Umar is pushing. Where is the imaginary school located ?
“Lineage”😂
1:15 i love what u said cuz im cuban and ik im black but sometimes some ppl try to tell me im not
I'm liking this dude little by little each interview 💯💪🏾
That's a contradiction 2 call Black Americans American African when Akon directly criticize Black American Music and give the props 2 Africans bcuz he knows that we're not the same. If that was the case then he wouldn't defrenciate us
Precisely
Africa is one of the most diverse continents on the planet. He doesn’t see Nigerians as the same as him either
@@jirrellj I'm knowing, but not jus Africans, majority blacks from outside of America don't identify themselves as 1 of us. Which nationality wise they're correct but so far as a race and our history of wat we been thru we're the same
@@TheMan-dy3vh Other black ppl from other places such as the islands, etc live in largely black dominated countries… that’s why they often times put nationality over race… because they aren’t marginalized like we are here. We was oppressed for race, that’s why we take race more seriously
@@jirrelljfacts
He sees straight through that 1-billion-dollar bullshit. 🤣🤣🤣
Facts. 🤣
Akon is being played for a fool and all he sees is the money. Perfect trojan horse, sell your country down the drain.
Black Americans cannot speak on Africa until you touch the mother soil. Become a part of the solution instead of dividing
Ppl don't know that Africa have a lot of rare earth minerals which is very important going forward
Akon borrow the money but he’s paying it back I’m sure the Chinese government will have some type of say in what goes on there nobody gives you that type of loan without something attached
we aren't AMERICAN AFRICANS🙄 we are BLACK AMERICANS⚫🔱🔴✊🏿🇺🇲
I’m a American African fba a scam.
@@deesimmons1803good for u! but I'm talking to the people who identify as FBA'S, I'm not talking to fake AFRICANS who don't live in AFRICA or not tryna unite AFRICA
😂
You sound lost and confused 😕
Tareeek
I think the Interviewer should’ve corrected Dr. Umar..
Yess the Chinese paid the money, but the money was loaned ..
and in Akons words on the Interview with Vladtv, the money is already paid back.
It’s definitely true and been news since forever now. “African” is an English word the word is Afrikan. We can’t respect what we don’t know and most don’t know who they are. Everyone else does though lol
5:10 - 6:55 talk to em bro. You aint told no lies right here
First time I heard about this Dr but he is spitting facts 🎉🎉
I am African Senegalese as Akon but i thank you Dr umar for saying these we black people need to be united.
Akon city is financed by private investors and US based Kenyan business man Julius Mwale is one of them. Dr Umar is mixing up the 1bn usd line of credit Akon got from China to provide solar energy throughout Africa.
Tell em bro, They don't know that, but they're ok with the west doing the same thing china is doing without war, oppression and slavery damn shame
Praise this man !
He is so blunt & so real .
Philly stand up & I'm proud of this brother & love this man . ( On pause ! )
No pause needed
@@jfraz1992 lol !
😂
He talks a lot of sense 💯
The problem with us black people is that we talk too much. If our African American family had put their money in Akon city and by large Africa,there wouldn't be any need for Akon to take the chainese money. Black Americans must put their money in things that means much to them. We as black people must stop these finger pointing and get busy doing something about our situation as black people period otherwise it will always be us against one another to the advantage of the very ones who have dominated us.
I DO NOT CLAIM AFRICAN AT ALL... i AM BLACK AMERICAN. I'M GOOD. THESE NINJAS HAVE THE NERVE.
You'd rather claim the identity of the land of where your ancestors were enslaved for 400 years instead. Got it.
Lmao
Akon city is owned by Chinese people
There's no such thing as akon city
"China is the Walmart of the planet!" 🙏❤️🙏
Dr Umar a Dr John Henrik Clarke student with those quotables 'Africa has no friends'.
When he's not shaming BM for not bailing out unsavory women who made bad decisions, he's spot on.
Everything Umar Johnson said is absolutely true, especially when it comes to Akon & egotistical city 🌃...Just one☝🏿correction tho, our beloved motherland is Alkebulan🌍, & not this meaningless word y’all keep using “africa” that the colonizers/enslavers called our land...Many thanks for sharing your uncompromising broadcast...👊🏿
Damn this the first time I agree with this guy maybe I was wrong about him
We the only race that don't need other races when you think about it but everybody need us
Keep in mind, all Africans dont think alike, just like all AAs dont think alike. There are lots of nice African and AA people that see eachother as equals. Dont let a few divisive troublemakers disturb the peace
Did Akon say we should forget Slavery but want’s Blacks🖤to contribute to his City Nigha please🫨🫨🫨🙅🏿♂️
Akon a clown
Akon is not building that city. It is China who is building that city for them that's why China gave him the money for the project
I can spot a African 20
Miles away…the walk, the built , the spirit
ART, HOLLA AT SUGE. GET HIM ON.
I don't agree with Dr Umar on a lot of things but just about everything he's said in this interview is 💯 percent correct.........
The fact of the matter is that many Africans do not see African Americans as the same.
Lies
did Umars school open yet?
I appreciate this , Akon been saying negative about black peoples!!!
There needs to be another word besides racism for blacks. Anti something. All you people do is push a narrative for all blacks. It's really hateful
