I love it.Morgan is getting it in....
I know Morgan built a brand new business school in the shopping center, so they bought to get busy.
I disagree but I understand prioritizing other programmes. Add some agricultural components in and we're really shaking the table

Ghana has always reached out to Black Americans and other Africans around the world, with the right to adobe act, Ghana was the first to do so, it started back in 2000 (Ghanaian Immigration Act of 2000). In the beginning it was difficult, but over the years Ghana has made it easier and started granting citizenship.
Ghana has always push for African descents to come back home or just travel, That's called Pan Africananism it's a two way street, that is what I said in the other Morgan State Thread.
Nikkas got mad because I said Nigeria should allow Black Ameican students to go over to Nigeria lol:
Piece of shyt troll
There should be more two way Pan Africananism, Africa has all the resources and American we have the technology to turn the resources into products.
The same thing can be done with Haiti, because they have a lot of natural resources, they have so much natural resources that Bill Gates and Bill Clinton own land over in Haiti.
Ghana’s ‘Right of Abode’ Program Could Attract More Black People from Across the Globe But Marred by Loopholes

Several centuries ago, Ghana was known as one of the starting points of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Today, the modern state of Ghana is gaining a reputation for being a destination for Blacks in the Diaspora who want to reconnect with their roots.
Ghana currently offers the “Right of Abode” program, which allows people of African descent to gain permanent residency. According to the Ghanaian Immigration Act of 2000, “The concept of right of abode under Immigration Law is that person having the right of abode ‘shall be free to live and to come and go into and from the country without let or hindrance.’”

In Prampram, a town just an hour’s drive east of Ghana’s capital Accra, many holiday houses line the shores of the South Atlantic Ocean. One of them belongs to Jerome Thompson. Located only 500 metres from the water, Mr. Thompson’s house is resilient to the effects of the salt and wind. The floors, windows and doors are made of hard wood. His self-designed furniture is made from quality Ghanaian timber and hand-carved by local artisans.
“The ocean helps me fall asleep and wakes me up in the morning,” says Mr. Thompson, an African-American retiree taking a stroll on the beach where palm trees shade hand-carved canoes. “Where else can I live this close to the ocean? It would cost me millions of dollars!”
Mr. Thompson, a native of Maryland in the United States, retired to Ghana 11 years ago. He first visited the West African country on a tour in 2000. “I fell in love with Ghana and its people,” he recalled, during an interview with Africa Renewal. “It was good seeing black people, my people, in charge of the country (Ghana).”

That's funny you said that, when I said that you called me a troll.....That shyt is funny
You nikkas are funny
Agreed, this can be the start of real tangible partnerships instead of the constant theorizing and pontificating that Pan Africanism can get stuck in sometimes.
I hope Black businesspeople on both sides work on mutual investments for development.
You said a lot of foul shyt outside of the bolded in that thread.
Ghana might be the best suited to actually implement something, short term, and long term. Nigeria is a shytshow, it's not capable of getting anything right unless it's their elites dominating shyt and sharing nothing with the masses.
Pan Africanism is an ideology. You can practice Pan Africanism individually. What you are demanding in your own way is a catch. That's a business proposal, that has nothing to do with Pan Africanism. I don't think you understand what it is to be Pan African.
Pan-Africanism, the idea that peoples of African descent have common interests and should be unified. Historically, Pan-Africanism has often taken the shape of a political or cultural movement. Pan-Africanism is a movement that seeks to rally Africans and people of African descent towards their common upliftment. ... Examples of Pan-Africanism can be gleaned from the works of Kwame Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey, etc.
Africa doesn't control its production or the flow of it. Europe and America does. Of the items Nigeria controls, it's usually controlled by billionaire like Dangote. These people are as helpful to everyday Nigerians as a billionaire AA is here to Black folks. Look at the ones who go at the cacs: Trump + Macron plotting against brilliant African Development Bank Head!
What you want isn't realistic as you see fit. That said, it's ideal for African nations, and Black American institutions to work together to advance our interest as Black people globally. That will benefit specific Blacks more than the collective but hey, it's representation and that's needed no matter what.
That would be ideal. To build things in these countries, you need people you can trust, work with, who can grant you exposure. I was a good friend of a black millionaire who was close to billionaire status. He said one of the biggest reasons he is a success is because he was on the ground in West Africa as part of the military and got exposure to how much money could be made. Most people don't and won't ever get his access but what would be ideal is if you can get your foot in the door especially when big opportunities start.
There has to be enough effort both ways to make it happen. Practical things that each side would need. Collectively, we can fix these issues but the relationships gotta really be built. Imagine Black American construction companies gettin big contracts in African and other diaspora cities? Or African businessmen investing in Black farmers in order to eliminate food deserts in Black communities. These efforts could spread all over the Black world.
fukk the theorizing and idolizing. Marcus and Malcolm and Kwame spoke these things so they could be done. Not glorified in memory.

LoL nikkas said foul shyt to me first when I said Nigeria should allow Black American students to into Nigeria LoL. But now you nikkas are saying the same shyt I said before in this this thread......That's funny my nikka LoL
I already know who run Africa, it's the White Supremacist and I explain that in the other thread and like I said before in the other thread when so poster asked me what can the Black American students learn in Nigeria and I explained to him what somethings they can learn. I know this because I'm a Chemical engineer by profession and attend Chemical Engineering conferences and there are brothers there from Nigeria and other parts of Africa and they received their education in Nigeria and Africa and they know there shyt
Like I said before you nikkas are funny lol:
I can answer the question easily, since I'm a Chemical engineer by profession and I can break down the civil and chemical engineering aspect easily in Nigeria, which is one part that can be learned. I can talk about the petroleum industry and the different type cracking is used, because Nigeria has a heavy oil industry, which can be learned. Nigeria is the largest producer of Oil in Africa
Types of Cracking
Thermal Cracking: It is a process that involves breaking of large non-volatile hydrocarbons into gasoline.
- FCC – Fluid Catalytic Cracking: It is mainly used in petroleum refiners. This process involves the conversion of high molecular weight, high boiling hydrocarbons into olefinic, gases, gasoline and other products.
- Hydrocracking: It is a catalytic cracking process, where it uses hydrocracking to break C – C bonds. Products produced by this process include diesel, jet fuel, and LPG.
- Steam Cracking: It is a petrochemical process that involves the breakdown of saturated hydrocarbons into smaller unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Spanning 54 countries, Africa is a powerhouse in the world of natural resources and innovation. And despite the social and political issues the continent faces, there’s no doubt that it’s on track to see an abundance of opportunities to grow in the coming years.
Here is a quick look at the richest countries in Africa by GDP:
1. Nigeria ($446,543 Billion)
A key component of the African economy, Nigeria has a population amounting to half of West Africa (just over 202 million). With an abundance of natural resources, it remains Africa’s number one producer in terms of GDP output.
With an abundance of natural resources, Nigeria remains Africa’s number one producer in terms of GDP output.
CLICK TO TWEET
The country is Africa’s largest crude oil exporter, recording production about 1,6 million barrels a day in December of 2019. Petroleum exports account for 10% of GDP and exceed 80% of export revenue. Apart from petroleum, Nigeria’s other natural resources include natural gas, tin, iron ore, coal, limestone, niobium, lead, zinc and arable land.
Between 2000 and 2014, Nigeria grew its GDP year-on-year by 7%, one of the fastest rates in Africa. However, growth has since slowed to around 2% due to oil and production shocks and with political instability in the region and a growing young and unemployed population, Nigeria is expected to grow slowly and living conditions to worsen.
However, with the 2020 crude oil price war between Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US, and the impacts of Covid-19, it’s possible Nigeria won’t hit its growth target of 2%.

Morgan State University to Offer Three Degree Programs in Ghana Following Board Approval
February 10, 2020
BALTIMORE — Morgan State University (MSU) is slated to establish an international presence on the African continent by way of a new pilot program. During the recent public session of the MSU Board of Regents’ winter quarterly meeting, the Board unanimously approved a proposal for the university to begin offering three degree programs — a Master of Business Administration, a Master of Science in Global Multimedia Journalism and Communications, and a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship — in partnership with the African University College of Communications (AUCC) in Adabraka, Accra, Ghana. The pilot program is scheduled to begin in fall 2020, creating opportunities for western African students to pursue degrees from Morgan. The collaboration marks a first of its kind for an HBCU in Ghana, with Morgan poised to join only a select few American universities offering degree programs in Africa.
“Over the past five years, we have been very interested in Africa and have been eyeing expansion into new markets. We look forward to piloting these three academic degree programs in Ghana, and if this initiative is successful in attracting top-notch students and awarding them highly valued Morgan degrees, we will consider establishing a more physical presence in Africa,” said Morgan President David Wilson. “So long as I am the president of this institution, Morgan will never be in stasis. We cannot afford to stand still. It is incumbent upon the university to always lean forward and continuously explore all viable opportunities in this rapidly transforming higher education environment.”
Coinciding with the expansion abroad, domestically the Board also authorized the University to pursue the addition of a new Master of Science in Advanced Computing degree program. Pending Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) approval, the M.S. in Advanced Computing would be the only degree of its kind offered at a Maryland university, and Morgan would be the sole HBCU in the nation to offer it. The availability of the program at Morgan would offer students a solid foundation in emerging areas of computer sciences such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, machine learning and cloud computing.
In addition, during its fall meeting this past November, MSU’s Board of Regents supported the addition of a new degree program in cloud computing. MHEC recently approved Morgan’s request to offer a new Bachelor of Science in Cloud Computing beginning in fall 2020.
In January, an administrative team, led by Morgan’s provost, traveled to Ghana for a site visit at AUCC, a University of Ghana affiliate institution, and to finalize the remaining details of the proposed collaboration. The arrangement calls for Morgan professors from the Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management and the School of Global Journalism and Communication to travel to Ghana to teach courses throughout the year to incoming cohorts. Each of the three degree programs would be offered in a hybrid delivery consisting of face-to-face and online instruction. Morgan is seeking at least 20 students to begin the pilot. An evaluation of the programs is slated for the end of the inaugural year.
Recent economic trends indicate that Africa will be the top emerging market of the 21st century. With 1.2 billion inhabitants (up from 447 million in 1980), more than 50 percent of them under the age of 30, Africa is projected by the United Nations Population Division to witness an accelerated population growth in the immediate future. Most African governments are allocating a significant amount of their annual revenue to increase access to primary and secondary schools for their young and rapidly growing populations. One area that the majority of African governments have not been able to expand rapidly is access to “tertiary education,” or colleges and universities. At present, public higher education institutions in Africa can accommodate less than 5 percent of the overall demand.
“Morgan State University will deliver highly innovative M.S. and B.S. programs that fully prepare individuals to be global leaders,” said Lesia Crumpton-Young, Ph.D., provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs at Morgan State University. “These program graduates will serve as catalysts for economic growth and development throughout the African continent and beyond.”
In response to a national need for a workforce skilled in computing, Morgan proposes to offer a Master of Science in Advanced Computing degree program, available both online and in a traditional classroom setting. Based on an innovative curriculum, the new program would be designed for students who have recently completed a bachelor’s degree program in computer science and/or related fields and who wish to enhance their careers, explore research opportunities in computer science or apply their acquired skills in transdisciplinary teams or for a specific focus. With a one-year completion option, the M.S. in Advanced Computing would serve as a complement to the new B.S. in Cloud Computing.
“Morgan understands what employers, particularly those in the technology sector, are looking for from our graduates,” added Dr. Wilson. “They need talent with particular skill sets, and we are bringing forth degree programs to provide those skills. Our students who are matriculating in these programs are going to be highly sought after, the world over.”
Both the proposed transdisciplinary M.S. program and the B.S. in Cloud Computing will be managed by the Department of Computer Science in Morgan’s School of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences.
