Naw.....Pan Africanism works both ways, Jason Black talks about that all the time.

The Black American students should be allowed to travel to Nigeria also and learn.
The counterpart of this program is the American govt funding American students to go learn in Nigeria.

However, I see your point of view. Countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Sudan, and Tanzania should be abke to fund a program for Black American, Caribbean, and Brazilian students to study in Africa.

Just as an FYI in case some posters are not aware, many HBCUs already have programs that have been established for YEARS that send black students to study and live in Africa.

Howard, for instance, offers nine different programs that you can pick from if you are interested in studying on the continent

Study Abroad | Center for African Studies

So we can dead this narrative that these programs don't exist because they do and in abundance at HBCUs and have been sending black american students to Africa for decades.

MSU Fulbright Students Study Abroad in Africa
Morgan State U July 28, 2016


Recently, Morgan’s Department of World Languages and International Studies sponsored the Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad, giving a group of students a unique opportunity for study internationally in the African countries of Senegal and The Gambia.

The five-week intensive study and research program, which was made possible in part through resources received from the U.S. Department of Education, allowed participants to study and learn about Islam as well as the interaction and intersection between Islam, Muslim culture, African traditions and republican institutions through rigorous lectures, seminars, roundtables, and guided visits of culturally and historically relevant sites.

The research focused on religion, culture, and society in Senegambia and relied on scholars, experts, government officials, civil society representatives, and citizens to provide different and varied perspectives on Islam in this sub-region of West Africa.
