While a segment of users lauded him, others took a swipe at other celebrities for not embarking on similar projects in their respective countries.

Some Nigerians also aimed a dig at MI, Nigerian rapper, who recently tackled Akon for calling Wizkid his “Lil bro”.

“How much money does Akon have. He’s building a city not a private estate, a whole city,” a Twitter user said.

“On behalf of M.I, we Nigerians want to apologise to Uncle Akon for his misyarn some days ago. He was short of things to say,” another user said.
