Akon City’s $6 billion “real-life Wakanda” promise collapsed in Senegal—leaving a half-built Welcome Center, faded Akoin fortunes, and 55 reclaimed hectares in Mbodiène. Top trending questions like “What happened to Akon’s city in Senegal?” and “Why did Akoin fail?” now meet only goats: One local quips, “All we’ve seen are journalists and goats.”

While the Welcome Center languishes beside grazing livestock, Senegal’s government reclaimed 90% of the land amid missed Akoin payments and rising search trends for “Akon City progress” and “Is Akon City a scam?” The original plan for flying-car towers now yields only a basketball court and a stadium fence—one farmer sums it up, “Aside from a new basketball court and some fencing, all we’ve seen are journalists and goats.”

The most expensive visitor kiosk in Africa greets only goats, not tourists, atop 136 acres—Akon’s Wakanda remains a $6 billion monument to hype, missing cash, and unfinished dreams.
