University education is not western education because the first Universities were established by Africans in Timbuktu Mali,Kemet-Egypt,Cush-Sudan,Algeria and morocco etc (before the Arabs invaded North Africa) . We saved Europe in the 14th century from extinction. During the 14 century Europe was a place of great Poverty and penstilence and America was a land of Teepees,Africa was looked up to by the whole world for their survival. The Mali Empire for example was flourishing and advanced. Trade in gold,Ivory,Saltmade the empire which stretched across seven modern day African borders(Borders set up by Europeans) extremely Wealthy. The Richest man to ever walk on earth Emperor Mansa Mussa was from Timbuktu Mali. Malian Cities were home to expressive Buildings and Palaces. . The University of Timbuktu(Which many refer to as the first University on earth) attracted over 30,000 students from around the world and boasted one of the world largest libraries. When the first Europeans arrived the shores of Africa,they were amazed and couldnt believe the beauty they saw. When Europeans Invaded Africa during the years of Colonization they destroyed the Libraries in Mali,destroyed the schools and stole Ancient African inventions. .
