    Rihanna 'not welcome in Senegal' religious groups say ahead of her visit tomorrow. They accuse her of being a member of the so-called Illuminati. Such claims about Rihanna's beliefs have been dismissed as outlandish by her musical collaborators. http://bbc.in/2GDWS7E pic.twitter.com/QGF2EkSRD0

        She is there to help children succeed and become future leaders. She is there to help raise money so your people can go to school.

        Now I understand why we are not moving forward as a continent. Listening to this religious people who think sleeping with kids is ok, but Rihanna visiting is a sin. Sad.

        Actually this is not a group. Just a bunch of idiots. They do not represent anybody here. Everybody is welcome to Senegal specially if they are contributing to education😌

        Rihanna isn't the ideal personality to promote child education in Africa based on her explicit music videos promoting nudity and lack of self respect which is totally against our cultures

        What has music videos got to do with promoting child education? Where were you when Akon was supporting charities in Senegal while releasing erotic music videos?

        It is her body not yours. Stop trying to control what a woman does and focus on yourself.
