It does not provoke much unease when attempts to conceptualise what everyone craves descend into definitional anarchy.

Definitional chaos becomes irksome only when inputs by experts fail to furnish a bellwether. As a phenomenon, access to university education incites universal craving.

The myopia in focusing university education exclusively on technology transfer is subtle. The subtlety is the reason it evades critical focus and deconstruction. Focusing university education on technology transfer in the global south betrays a tacit acceptance by scholars in the global south that they cannot produce proto technologies worthy of being copied.

As university education philosophy, the pursuit of technology transfer subverts the mission of the university as a nursery and the breeding ground for transcendental ontology of immanence.

They need to make forays into African forests and waters. When such forays are made, the result of the adventure will not fail to yield a surfeit of resins and slimy specimens that would astound when subjected to creative modification. Think of Fela Ransom Kuti of Nigeria! His experimental imagination in music morphed into the global music brand that is greeted today with universal applause. After studying global north’s music in London, Fela leveraged that knowledge to pioneer something different –the Afro Beat brand. Today, many in the music world copy Fela. Fela tweaked ingenuity into what the west could not re-imagine but now enjoys.
