Idris Elba Out To Change Stereotypical Perception Of Africa With Sierra Leone Smart City
Idris Elba Sierra Leone Smart City – Sherbro Island Island Smart City – The stereotypical perception of Africa in the West is a tangled web of outdated ideas and limited portrayals. It often leans on images of vast, empty savannas or war-torn landscapes, ignoring Africa’s incredible geographic and ecological diversity. Culturally, Africans are…

As much as I hope to see such progress in our Sierra Leone, I will believe when I start to see structures being built over there according to such a plan. I have 15 acres of land to build on out there as well. Yes it is time for we Africans to realize multi-faceted developments in Africa on our own, instead of continuing to chronically depend on loans from the west, the middle-east and the east. Agreements through which astronomical debts will be accumulated, inducing escalated neocolonial interference by nations out of Africa, especially western countries. I guess we have to stay tuned.
Sierra Leone
I hope the locals are not displaced. Destruction of environment too.
May God bless the African continent more with innovative and brilliant African men and women to come back and help build Africa.
Akon tried the same thing and failed miserably. Just saying do your due diligence and make sure this isn't a scam like akon city (Senegal)or Eko city(Nigeria)
If all the brilliant and able Africans do something like this Africa will be great and developed
It all sounds good but for who. Where does the very poor come into all this. How many people do they intend to move from their ancestral land for these projects and so much more questions one could ask.
I have no trust in him. He seems to find himself rubbing shoulders and giving speech at the WEF gathering the other day. Harbouring colonial
intentions through the back door. When are you people going to smell the rat. These holly wood and sports entertainers are programmed paid gatekeepers.
Why is Britain is in this project. Why cant you get rid of the dishonest people that have a bad record of dealing with African Countries.
Strategic selected "Black African Countries" (West, East, Central, and Southern Africa) MUST strategically establish OUR OWN AFRO DIASPORA Epicenters. (AFRO/BLACK Owned, Controlled, and Operated Afro Epicenters)
Unfortunately there's no highway to this island. You have to go by boat or helicopter or they will need to build a bridge and highway to Freetown. Some new facilities would be good for the island – maybe not a huge city like they're talking about.
Does Sierra Leone still exclude white people from public office? What does Idris think of this?
Whoever made a smart city from scratch who wasn't the king of an oil rich Arabian country..
It’s good to see them having a common goal make Africa great 😢
Hope this is not going to be like that of Akon fake ambition project that didn't realise, I'm from Sierra Leone and I want true project that will benefit the people.
What we are praying for. Like Akon in his home town ❤❤
Good blessings our brothers in our father rentals home ❤❤❤God blessed you all ……❤
Is this the same as Acon 🥸🥸 just a different face 😢. Black puppets being the front picture of a European controlled structure
its time, Elba is welcome back to his roots
Oh Africa. May all you brilliant mind get together and and and do it a lot better
It's great to do this especially to create insentives for more of the black African diaspora to return to Africa so I hope this is the reason for this project. If its not this, whose perception of Africa do we want to change? Because I think the people in powerful positions actually already know the beauty, the wealth and everything that Africa has and intentionally keep it hidden in mainstream media so that they can continue to exploit it as we sit back and think where we come from has a stereotypical perception. We have to be aware not to do projects to promote certain images but rather to uplift our people for real. We need to focus on projects that are actually helping Africans not just our portrayals. Our nations aren't really poor we are overly exploited and that is what we need to focus on to stop:) hope this makes sense
Proud Mende here!! Glad to see this development. Very exciting indeed!
Great
Sounds good but is the finance in place ? and how are the local people going to benefit ? Most of the work will be done by overseas companies who will import the products and many of the workers so how will this help local people .
My roots are Sherbro, Temne, and Mende. I applaud his efforts. I just hope to see them allow more partnerships from the local entrepreneurs already in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 along with the African Diaspora. This is an opportunity to build together and reconnect.
Shebro island was originally belong to Liberia..the first place the ACS ( AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY 's former slaves that returned to Africa from the US.. But only 22 of them survived, and the three (3) whyte agents perished from malaria. They were later transported to Monrovia, Liberia..
Those pictures should be banned, and censored. As an international student in the U S, I was disappointed how can such civilized nation depict an entire continent of 1 billion people with such limited scheme ??? Wow..hmmmmm..and on national television? What a shame ooooo😂😂😂😂😂😂. Arrogance disguised as intelligence, an absolute ignorance and bigotry??? Kla be ne 'x. Cheyoooo
First Akon City (vaporware) and now Elba City 🤣 Ok now
We will wait to see development first!
Another akon,he will get richer.time will tell
Who is funding this? We don't want any investment from the US, UK, France and Germany. Otherwise, I'll have my Houthi friends put an end to that apartheid colonial project. No western bases or new colonial outposts in Africa.
what happened to Akon City?
Hire Vietnamese.
No one will go HOLIDAYS there.
We only laugh at woda maya.
Why not show VIETNAMESE DEVELOPER OF ANGOLA.
A wonderful opportunity for growth and development, wonderful! Africa finally gets some investment attention and it couldn't have come at a better time, as we are dangerously close to recolonization! Hoping that this public-private alliance could be replicated in other African Countries! Yes, we are excited!👋
Africa is looking forward!
Wonderful idea 👑✨️
Voted down.
INCOMPLETE MAP OF MOROCCO.
It's good myb but why don't they support young innovative Africans who lack finance support which can change the perception fully in tech
We pray and hope it goes as it has been said
That's all good but to really change the perception he would need to corner the mainstream media and showcase what Wode Maya shows when it comes to African countries he can also make movies and shows in African countries and cast local actors. And tell local stories. And broadcast it to the world…true or definitely true?
