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.

41 verified members across 7 regions outside Ghana. Crimson markers pulse where we are.
The globe renders against real, normalised diaspora data from the year-group roster. Each pulse marks at least one verified old boy — the bigger the dot, the more of us in that region. On a phone, drag to rotate; tap and hold to slow the spin.
MOBA 2016 UK Diaspora BBQ — hosted by Jeffrey Adjei, VP International, in London. The full collection lives in Memories.
Real cities. Real chapters. A handful of greetings the diaspora wanted on record.
The Tube still rumbles past Mile End the same way it did when we landed. Every Saturday MOBA 2016 finds a corner of a pub somewhere in zone 2. The room sounds like Cape Coast.

Brooklyn winter is brutal but the WhatsApp group keeps you warm. A few of us met at a rooftop in Bushwick last weekend — three classes represented in one room, no planning needed.
— NYC chapter
Six of us in Mississauga on Boxing Day. We ate jollof, argued about the 2014 inter-house final, and someone tried to explain ice hockey. It didn't take.
— Toronto chapter
Met an A6 brother for shawarma in JBR last night. Hadn't seen him since we completed. 10 years collapsed into one hour.
— Dubai chapter
Two of us made the trip from Frankfurt for the weekend. Beer garden in Friedrichshain, MOBA tie under the coat. Quiet brotherhood across an ocean.
— Europe chapter
The home chapter is in motion. Walks at the Independence Square, drinks at Osu, weekly meets. Counting down the days until 4 July when the rest of you come home.
— Accra chapter
Each region is a chapter in waiting. Heads being appointed; meet-ups already in motion in the densest cities.
