Far from the hills. Never far from each other.

Brothers, wherever this finds you in the world — Accra, Cape Coast, London, Toronto, Lagos, Dubai — you are still MOBA 2016. Distance never broke us.

We have always been a year group of people who go. People who left the hills of Cape Coast and made rooms in cities we used to only read about. People who chase work and study and family across borders. That is who we are.

And here is the truth I want you to sit with: the diaspora is not the edge of MOBA 2016. It is one of its strongest pillars. The capital we have — financial, professional, intellectual, relational — is sitting in pockets all over the globe. When it gathers, this year group becomes a force.

My job is to help it gather. Regional chapters. Quarterly meet-ups in every city that holds five or more of us. A travel coordination network for induction. Contribution channels that work in pounds, dollars, euros, dirhams, rand. A directory that means a brother flying into your city can find his classmate by Friday evening.

I'm asking for three things. One — find your region below and put your name down. Two — if you are the most senior of us in a city, step into a regional head role. Three — make 4 July 2026 your priority. Be at the table when the year group is inducted.

We are building something that should outlive all of us. Help me build it well.
