Nigeria lost more troops yet your whole existence is anchored on victim mentality? If not that you guys won't let us rest with your nonsense, we don't even know you exist. We can't be axxed you do. Leave us out of your bull, like this attention seeking thread with no meaning. But of course you can't, you need our constant attention to feel wanted or relevant.

And you see, freedom is of the mind. No one is holding you down but yourselves. If 90% of y'all have criminal tendencies...thats a big problem. If you lack contentment, that's another issue. Do you have state governments, but choose not to take them to account? Do you constantly support thieves, criminals and appear not to have any semblance of morality/sense of justice? Has throwing tantrums and tribal hate become part of your DNAs? Need I say more... Look inwards man.

And about pay-per-whatever, niccur I can't do that with you, that's beneath me!

Silly lies of hypocrisy to divert attention from the very obvious!

...and yet at the mere mention of Biaf...many of your type whine, weep and wail as if your whole essence in life is being taken away from you!

Is it not a shame that you and your kinsmen currently make a living out of another people's struggle to attempt to quench the call for self-determination?

And here you are grandstanding in futility to assuage your miseries.


CRIMINAL TENDENCIES
The most wanted Nigerians for crimes in the USA are all Yorubas!

...they operate in other shores. Their activities are an embarrassment to all of us. They indulge in crimes for which all of us should flinch. Indeed, the United States Secret Service and narcotics agents have dubbed the

18 as some of the most wanted on their list. A manhunt is on to arrest 15 of them. Already, three others have been arrested by Interpol officers in Lagos.

•Adebowale Shekoni (40)
•Abiodun Bakare (37)
•Rilwan Ayatonde Soetan (50)
•Kenneth Eromosele Abulu (36)
•Olselcita Folayan (41)
•Musiliu Balogun (40)
•Mutiat Titilola Olubi (51)
•Ahiata Folashade Price (46)
•Monsuratu Omoniyi Griggs(43)
•Ayodele Soyan (51)
•Ahuama Benjamin Okey (50)
•Basiratu Mojisola Bakare-Giles (47)
•Adegboyega Olukunle Odedina (36)

•Seye Richard Osinoiki(46)

ARRESTED

•Steve Adedeji
•Apampa Olayinka
•Olugbemiga Adebisi (a.k.a.) George Banks

They are wanted for multi-million dollar bank frauds, identity theft, drug pushing and, in the case of one of them, the rape of an expectant mother.

STATE GOVERNMENTS

Which of other governors performed creditably better than Chime Sullivan, Peter Obi or Chris Ngige vis-a-vis the available funds at their disposal?

Indeed Igbos fare better than most tribes who have great federal government investments and the great loots from their elites. The Igbos have the highest concentration of middle-class citizens. 
Even with the dwindling crude oil earnings Igbo States are the least affected largely due to the fact that their economy is not crude oil dependent. 

Igbos are doing fairly well individually and community-wise. The main problem is the anti-Igbo policies being implemented for the past 45 years, targeting of Igbo economy and businesses, insitutionalised discrimination, Igbo careers in federal institutions, lopsided citing of federal infrastructures and investments, killings of Igbos in non-Igbo States and destruction of Igbo means of livelihoods.
Money is criminally collected from SE/SS people via institutions collectively built with the commonwealth and it is selectively used to give to free education to certain parasitic region.

Have you forgotten that soon after the civil war how you wicked bigots and hypocrites connived and robbed Easterners of their hard earned money in banks and gave £20 to only those who could prove they had bank accounts?

You parasitic ingrates proceeded to use the stolen funds to buy up the numerous companies established by the colonial masters, looting the companies and rendering them bankrupt. And that was the beginning of the collapse of the Nigerian economy. Till date the economy is yet to recover.

Instead of developing the Eastern region after the war subsequent evil governments diverted Gowon’s 3Rs to your regions for rapid development while neglecting and under-developing the Eastern region.

FYI, Imo airport was built by the people of Imo state; almost everyone contributed even little kids to make the airport a reality.

Acknowledge the simple fact that Igbos fare better than your tribe despite your numerous treasury lootings and federal government presence. The Igbos have the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade your enclaves. You can see the reality in the shocking manner many of your States are in comatose with many of its civil servants surviving on the good gestures of concerned Nigerians.

FYI, the Igbo States are the least affected by the falling crude oil earnings. Go and ask Fayose why Ekiti government had to send some of its citizens to the SE to learn a skill/trade in a bid to grow the economy of Ekiti State.

Feed your eyes on Igbos achievements and stop being mischievous and bitter that a people you defrauded and cheated are doing excellently better than your greedy and wicked folks who are sheepishly led by an internationally acclaimed drug peddler cum treasury looter:

Masters Energy Group, a conglomerate with over 25 subsidiaries, is poised to create 14,000 new jobs at its Industrial City under construction at Isikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State.


You can continue to be bitter and mischievous that a people you defrauded and cheated are doing excellently and even competing on the world stage.

I really empathise with you for being agitated and dreadful to be left alone with your masters. But leave Igbos out of your miseries.

The earlier you go find yourselves an idea you can live and die for the better for your survival!

Ovamboland:

So the entire Ibo race went to war on the basis of private opinion written by Awolowo in his book. This is so sad, I even give Ibo more credit than you give them

Yea, I do understand your plight especially since your Yoruba tribe rarely stand for anything!

Till date it's really difficult to repose confidence on a typical Yoruba person because of this chamelionic tendencies.

It's your cross!

3rdlegxxx:


Finally a real and reasonable comment, all this people calling GEJ clueless about the comfab, where were you guys during those period when the entire country was talking about the comfab, stake holders, students, delegate, religious leaders and more were all talking about it, how most of you can clueless ly blame it entirely on GEJ beats me, where you all dead or sleeping through out those period, even tho GEJ obviously has with his team, personal reasons but he and everyone never said anything about a law, it was for consideration, what is it with people always quick to call the former president clueless, it seems funny but rude at the same time.

Nice one, brother.

obailala:
The north has never minced words about its position in the Nigerian project, the north has never hidden its disapproval for anything that resembles a restructuring of the nation because as we all know, the status quo favours them most. And yes, it is not about opposing the Igbos (as most Igbos have now been deceived to believe), rather it is purely about protecting their own interests and the interests of their people.

It is high time all Igbos start asking pertinent questions about what our leaders are doing to protect our interests when they get to Abuja. We cannot keep blaming leaders from other tribes and zones who are fighting tirelessly to protect the interests of their own people. Where are our own leaders?

Good question

Arrogance has always been the undoing of your people.

It's your low self esteem that made you lots to always run amok on every media page, whining, weeping and wailing at the mere mention of Biaf...

Young man, ask your tribesmen to leave Yoruba out of your sh!t. I don't go shouting Ibo or Biafra in my day to day conversations because that sh!t just ain't worth my time. However, abhorrent behaviour such as yours and the OP's make me want to smack sense into your 1D heads.

Lies of hypocrisy from deluded and despicable beings to divert attention from the very obvious!

And yet you and your kinsmen have condescended so low as to make a living out of Igbo's quest for nationhood.
Yet many Yorubas are notoriously running amok on every media page with anti-BFR slogans while camouflaging as SE and SS people to be able to market your wicked propaganda and lies against the Igbo Nation.

I shall endeavour to drum it loud and clear into your thick skull; perhaps you'd see reason to channel your negative energies towards Odua Islamic Republic of Ritual-killers and Cannibals.

doctokwus:


Don't come here saying thrash and trying to weep up useless sentiments.
I detest senator Na 'Allah because he seems anti people and was the one that proposed that social media bill,but he made a lot of sense in regards to the national conference.
What Na'Allah basically said is this:that GEJ had no legal backing to have conveyed that confab because Nigeria operates a constitutional democracy,that GEJ conveyed the conference by fiat,which is clearly illegal.
That if GEJ was serious about d confab,he should have found a way of enacting a law or act to give effect to the confab.
It's almost similar to what the supreme court has done with the card reader because it claims its not in the electoral act.
Na'Allah made plenty sense.One may detest the man but in this,gej has again been exposed for his utter cluelessness.
Meanwhile Op,u are irritating to have brought tribe into this.So this govt is against the confab recommendations bcoz it favors the Ibos?
Instead of projecting the Igbo race,its your type that continue diminishing the Ibos in the eyes of people that otherwise hold them in high regards with this abhorrent victim mentality.

For how long will you continue to be wrap up in your cocoon of slavery and foolishness.....did you just say Sen Na'allah made sense? ...

Igbo people must stand up for what is their rightful place in Nigeria project.
Igbo leaders in Abuja should do away with competition among themselves and fight for common purpose.
They should stop talking about being marginally treated in the scheme of things in Nigeria.
Agitating for Biafra republic is not the solution.
Solution is in the unison of purpose to fight for the benefit of the people and not selfish fighting as it is today.

I don't know if it's blindness or something. I used to tell yoruba men, igbos are not your enemies. As much as they don't see it, they wouldn't understand a single line what I mean.
Check the facts, Northern people in the name of quest for power embezzle nigerias money and use it for betterment of self. In the name of politics, what would an illiterate be doing governing people that went to school.
Yorubas feel north has alliance with them when in real sense, they are two big enemies who would never reconcile even in the next world to come.

Think about it. Igbos are not your enemies. If you want a better nigeria, igbos and yorubas need unionism and take power from the north. Perils of Nigeria today are caused solely by the north, you want facts? Quote me I would give you facts.

xtrorze:


Did you just state that Igbos need to get over themselves and the perceived hatred they believe the SW has for them?

You mean after you and your Yoruba partners connived with your Northern masters to massacre helpless Igbo civilians in 1966-70 you still had the effrontery to castigate Igbos?

Are you trying to be mischievous, silly or what just to score some cheap points with your masters?

Well, I don't blame you entirely. It's this fraudulent union that gave you and your people the guts to rant carelessly against the Igbos.

I would suggest you take your silly talk against Igbos and shove it down your throat.

The Igbo Nation are comfortable having a separate existence from you.

Go find yourselves an idea you can live and die for!

And did u read your own words? You've just proven him right. Still bringing up what happened more than a decade ago. Can't you just let bygones be bygones and forge ahead as one. If someone writes again that you have hatred in you, you'll deny, rant and probably insult.

When you get to a position by chance or accident is not the problem, but the problem is how you make things work for your people. It is a shame a senator in the NAAS don't know the purpose of being there. But a day is coming that table will turn

Silly rants of hypocrisy to divert attention from the very obvious!

What about the numerous evils still on going at present?

What about the numerous innocent lives you wicked bigots still sacrifice in the name of 'One Nigeria'?

Let bygones be bygones and yet you lots sanction the great injustices and evils being perpetrated in the polity.

Let bygones be bygones and yet you lots are more worried with the clamour for self-determination than the systematic ethnic cleansing and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods going on in some pats of the North for decades.

Let bygones be bygones and yet you approve and hail the criminalisation and killings of peaceful IPB protesters.

Let bygones be bygones and yet you lots tacitly support the systematic burning of Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos in Lagos.

Let bygones be bygones and yet the lagoon crooner threatened to drown Igbos in 2015 if they fail to vote for his anointed gubernatorial candidate in Lagos.

Let bygones be bygones and yet anti-Igbo policies are being implemented for the past 45 years, targeting of Igbo economy and businesses, insitutionalised discrimination, Igbo careers in federal institutions, lopsided citing of federal infrastructures and investments, killings of Igbos in non-Igbo States and destruction of Igbo means of livelihoods.
Money is criminally collected from SE/SS people via institutions collectively built with the commonwealth and it is selectively used to give to free education to certain parasitic region.


What does 'One Nigeria' mean to you hypocritical bigots?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

The earlier you go find yourselves an idea you can live and die for the better for your survival!

Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians?

SEVEN GREAT THINKERS OF YORUBA STOCK LEADING THE BLACK MATHEMATICIANS AS THE GREATEST BLACK MATHEMATICIANS OF ALL TIME...Your Igbo has only 3...well,you really tried considering the fact that Yorubas have always been your masters...lol

Often I am asked the questions:

1. Is [or was] there a Black Gauss?

2. Should a Black Mathematician have been awarded the Fields Medal?

3. Who is [or was] the most important Black Mathematician?

4. Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians?

5. Who are the young mathematicians whose careers exhibit extraordinary promise?

I believe all but the last two questions to be foolish. However, I hope to address these questions on this web page - in reverse order. For a history of African Americans in science research read Kenneth R. Mannings article, "Can History Predict the Future?" For a description of Blacks in Mathematics Research see Research Mathematicians of the African Diaspora. As usual, underlined words are hyperlinks in this website to more information on the individuals below.

5. Who are the young mathematicians whose careers exhibit extraordinary promise?

Mathematicians of the 21st Century

I had anticipated delaying this section until 2007 and young folks had begun to publish. However, as a winner of the AMU/ICMS 2003 Young African in Mathematics Medals, one individual has changed my mind.

Oguntuase: Currently in Italy, Nigerian born and soley Nigerian trained, James Adedayo Oguntuase earned his Ph.D. in 2001, but has published 18 papers in mathematics since 1998. This promises to be a stelar career.



Mathematicians of the 1990s:

Seven mathematicians of the 1990s, Adebisi Agboola, Jonathan Farley, Wilfrid Gangbo, Abba Gumel, Trachette Jackson, Katherine Okikiolu, and Arlie Petters show extraordinary promise, "should be" (but are not necessarily) located at the very best institutions, and may be the Fields medal candidates of the future.













Petters: Belize born American citizen Arlie Petters, the most senior of the group is a member of Duke University's Bass Fellows. He is Full Professor of Mathematics and of Physics (their first tenured Black professor in the sciences - congratulations Duke). He is chiefly interested in the mathematical theory of gravitational lensing and related areas (differential geometry, singularity theory, general relativity, Astrophysics). Though Petters received his Ph.D. about ten years ago, he has published 30 papers and a book, chiefly in the area Gravitational Lensing. Petters's book on Gravitational Lensing is considered a tour de force in mathematical physics. In 1998, Petters was awarded the most prestigious award for "young" mathematicians, the three year Sloan Research Fellowship. In 2002, he was recipient of the first Blackwell-Tapia Prize.

K. Okikiolu: Born to Nigerian and British parents, but educated in the U.S., Katherine Okikiolu (was once on Princeton's faculty) received special distinction in 1997 when she was the first Black to win a Sloan Research Fellowship. Later in 1997, she won the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers for "Innovative research in geometric analysis, particularly the determinant of the Laplacian under smooth perturbations, and developing student workshops and mathematics curricula for inner-city children." This particular award is worth $500,000 and is only granted 60 scientists and engineers in the U.S. per year. Okikiolu's work on elliptical differential operators is considered a major contribution, going well beyond what experts had considered feasible, given the current state of knowledge. Her 2001 publication Critical metrics for the determinant of the Laplacian in odd dimensions in the Annals of Mathematics, is receiving high acclaim. She is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of California at San Diego.

Farley: Born in an extremely successful academic family of Rochester, New York, Jonathan Farley, graduated second in his class with an A.B. from Harvard University and obtained a mathematics Ph.D. from Oxford University where he was awarded the Senior Mathematical Prize and Johnson Prize for his research. During a two year visit to the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute [MSRI] in 1996, Farley solved very important old problems in the Theory of Ordered Sets. He also works in Lattice Theory. He is currently publishing at an average of more than three papers a year, and in 2003 was a Distinguished Fulbright Scholar at Oxford University in England. Currently is Visiting Professor of Mathematics at Massachusettes Institute of Technology.

Gangbo: In just nine years from a Ph.D. to a Full Professor - this is incredible. Wilfrid Gangbo was born in Benin and in 1992 earned a Ph.D. from Swiss Federale Institute of Technology. Among his twelve papers is his 1996 The geometry of optimal transportation remains the single publication by a Black in the Mittag-Leffler Institute's Acta Mathematica, one of the world's strongest mathematics journals. In 2001 he was appointed Full Professor by Georgia Institute of Technology.

Agboola: In mathematics, one does not always know of young persons working in fields outside their own, and it is a great honor to the individual if the case is otherwise. Adebisi Agboola's work in Number Theory and Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry has been mentioned to me as very good by Kevin Corlette and two of my non-Black colleagues whose area of research is mutually exclusive with Agboola, Corlette, and each other. Agboola is Full Professor of Mathematics at the University of California at Santa Barbara

Gumel: Born in Nigeria, Ph.D. in England. Abba Gumel is an extremely prolific in the areas Mathematical Biology, Non-linear Dynamical Systems, and Computational Mathematics. Currently he is a Full Professor at the University of Manitoba in Canada.

Jackson: American Trachette Jackson was a mathematics major at Arizona State in Tempe. Four years later she earned a Ph.D. in Mathematical Biology. Five years later she had ten articles under her belt and a Sloan Fellowship. Currently, Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics University of Michigan

Johnson: British born Mathematical Physicist Clifford V. Johnson has over 60 publications since his 1992 Ph.D. Since that time he has immersed himself within String Theory (also see Sylvester James Gates) with papers and books. He is currently on leave at USC.

Great Mathematicians of the 1980s:CONTD...

This is a group of mathematicians, nearing or just past Fields medalist years (before the age of 40), whose careers are very strong, and we expect them to have careers stronger than many of those who came before. They are Idris Assani, Johnny Brown, Nathaniel Dean, Carl Graham, Overtoun Jenda, and William Massey. There are a few more Mathematicians who could be mentioned here.









Massey: During Princeton University's inclusive period, William Massey enrolled and obtained a B.S. in Mathematics. From there he went to Stanford University for the Ph.D. and to industry, but his location in the Mathematics Department of Lucent Technologies has given him the opportunity to publish an average of 2.5 papers a year. In addition to the application of many papers in Queueing Theory and Stochastic Processes to problems in the Modelling of Telecommunication Systems, Massey, most importantly, has been involved with the mentoring African American students of Mathematics. Those who pay attention do very well; one of these is Arlie Petters (see young mathematicians above). Massey is a co-founder of CAARMS, the annual Conference for African Americans Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences. In 2001, Massey became the first tenured African American Mathematician at an Ivy League Univrsity. He is Full Professor in Princeton University's department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering.

Dean: Applied Algebraist Nathaniel Dean has recently moved from Bell Labs and Lucent Technologies to academia in order to strengthen an already strong Applied Mathematics program at Rice University which included the Mexian American Richard Tapia. Currently he is Full Professor of Mathematics and Chairman of Mathematics at the HBCU Texas Southern University in Houston. Nearly half of his 50 publications are in Computer Science. Dean, along with Massey, were featured on the Public Broadcasting System 5-Part 1998 Mathematics Series Life by the Numbers.

Assani: Benin born, French educated Idris Assani studies Ergodic Theory and Dynamics. Assani has written very strong papers; read, for example, the 1997 Strong laws for weighted sums of independent identically distributed random variables. (which extends with new methods results obtained jointly by (1994 Fields medalist) J. Bourgain, H. Furstenberg, Y. Katznelson and D. Ornstein. Another one is the 1998 Multiple recurrence and almost sure convergence of weakly mixing dynamical systems. gives the best possible result to date on H. Furstenberg famous conjecture on a.e. multiple recurrence for dynamical systems. Fern Hunt also says Assani is her candidate for the greatest Black Mathematician.

Graham: American Carl Graham, the most junior of this group and a professor at École Polytécnic in Paris, was born in the U.S. but his African American mathematician father Eugene Graham emigrated to France where Graham was raised. One of his papers which particularly brought attention is The martingale problem with sticky reflection conditions, and a system of particles interacting at the boundary.

Makinde: Nigerian born Oluwole D. Makinde once said "Being a Black man in the World of Mathematics especially in Africa is not a
very pleasant experience. One has to learn how to work with little or no facility." He published 50 papers in a variety of pure mathematcs subjects on the way to becoming Professor and Head of Applied Mathematics Depatment, University of the North, South Africa.

Jenda: Malawi born Overtoun M. Jenda continues to produce good Algebra inspite of involvement with administration.





4. Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians?

Great Black Mathematicians of the 1970s& 1960s:

There are quite a few well established Black mathematicians, in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, who are internationally known as leaders in their respective fields though past the midpoint of their careers and never quite reaching the accomplishment/recognition of "the masters." Ethelbert Chukwu (Differential Equations, Control Theory, and Mathmatical Economics), Francisco Antonio Doria (mathematical physics, logic, the philosphy of science, and the mathematical theory of communications), Nöel Lohoue (Functional Analysis), Donald Richards (Statistics), and Floyd Williams (Homological Algebra & Lie Groups) are probably the best of the group.

Others are Olusola Akinyele (Ordinary Differential Equations), Augustin Banyaga (Differential Topology), Earl Barnes (Linear & Non-linear Programming), Heneri Dzinotyiweyi (Topological Semigroups), G. O. S. Ekhaguere (Mathematical Physics), John A. Ewell (Number Theory), Aderemi Kuku (Algebraic K-theory), and Scott Williams (Set-Theoretic Topology, Set Theory, Topological Dynamics). There are at least 10 other good mathematicians who could be mentioned here, you can find them on the web page Research Mathematicians of the African Diaspora: http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/ResearchMathematicians.html.

Though Black Women in Mathematics form 25% of all Black Mathematicians, it has not escaped this author that the above response to question 4 discusses no woman. I am only aware of a hand full of Black women active ly engaged at forwarding the science significantly beyond a thesis. The most senior is Fern Hunt who has at least 20 papers - recall the most junior, Kate Okikiolu is discussed in section 5 (above).



The Masters

Until the mid 1980s, Charles Bell, David Blackwell, A. T. Bharucha-Reid, and J. Ernest Wilkins had published more mathematics than the entire rest of the entire African American community. Though this no longer the case, The Masters, a slight expansion of the group has published more papers than the entire Black Mathematics community in the 20th century. I believe The Masters are David Blackwell, J. Ernest Wilkins, George O. Okikiolu, James Ezeilo, Albert T. Bharucha-Reid, Ronald E. Mickens, and Charles Bell.

Blackwell: There have been few black mathematicians who, prior to the late 1960s, have had the freedom and opportunity to work relatively unfettered. Of this group, David Blackwell is the only Black mathematician whose work is clearly within the "extraordinary mathematician" rank. There are others not far behind, we discuss them below.



When he was 22, David Blackwell earned a Ph.D. (University of Illinois, 1941) within 5 years of high school. As only Black institutions with very high teaching loads (20 to 30 hours per week as opposed to the standard 6 hours of today) would hire him, one would think his early career would lag somewhat. Although his work caught the eye of great mathematicians of the time, it took another 13 years and 20 papers before Blackwell was hired permanently at a research oriented institution, the University of California at Berkeley. By the time he was 40 (in 1959), David Blackwell had accomplished that which most mathematicians would consider a lifetime's work, he had written a book considered a classic, published 35 papers (three in the Annals of Mathematics), and had been an invited speaker all over the world. In 1965 he became the first African American named to the National Academy of Sciences (he is still the only Black mathematician to be so honored). In 1979 Blackwell won the von Neumann Theory Prize (the Operations Research Society of America). Though most (but not all) of Blackwell's work was in Statistics, his work exhibits a strong "theoretical"mathematics background.

In 2002, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley and Cornell University has established the Blackwell-Tapia Award in honor of David Blackwell and Richard A. Tapia, distinguished mathematical scientists who have been inspirations to more than a generation of African American and Hispanic American students and professionals in the mathematical sciences.

Wilkins: J. Ernest Wilkins was a contemporary of David Blackwell, though his experience with racism was clearer. Both Wilkins' parents were graduates of the University of Chicago. At the age of 13, Wilkins entered the University of Chicago. He received his B.S. in Mathematics three and a half years later and at the age of 19 he earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago (1942) for a thesis in the area of Calculus of Variations. J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr. was described in national newspapers as "the Negro genius." Wilkins, though a very able mathematician, was interested in applications of mathematics, and after his Ph.D., he went back to school earning degrees in Mechanical Engineering from New York University.

Meanwhile, he experienced racism from the AMS (American Mathematics Society): In 1947 Wilkins received a letter from the AMS Associate Secretary for the Southeastern region urging him to come to the AMS meeting, and saying that very satisfactory arrangements had been made with which they were sure he'd be pleased; they had found a "nice colored family" with whom he could stay and where he would take his meals! No hotels would admit him and the hospitality of the University of Georgia (and of the AMS) was not for him. Thus, AMS meetings continued to be all white.
Though he has published nearly 100 papers (under 50 in Mathematics), Wilkins' impact on applications of mathematics to Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering is significant. He worked as a Physicist for several companies: from 1960-70, Wilkins was Assistant Chairman of the Theoretical Physics Department and Assistant Director (1960-65) of the Atomic Division of General Dynamics Corporation. J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr. was the second African American member of the National Academy of Engineers (1965). One of Wilkins' major achievements has been the development of radiation shielding against gamma radiation, emitted during electron decay of the Sun and other nuclear sources. He developed mathematical models by which the amount of gamma radiation absorbed by a given material can be calculated. In 1999 he is Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Clark-Atlanta University.

Bharucha-Reid: To me, Albert T. Bharucha-Reid's work was, mathematically, nearly has great as Blackwell's and Wilkins, but for points of recognition, his career suffered one major fault - he resolutely refused to obtain a Ph.D. I have known several good mathematicians (e.g., James Joseph, and Andrew Gleason, an ex-chair of Harvard University's Mathematics Department) who have found themselves in a similar position.

In 1949 at the age of 19, Albert Turner Reid (he later shared the surname, Bharucha, of his India born wife) earned a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Iowa. By the time he was 23, he produced mathematics for eight published papers, but did not produce a Ph.D. thesis (he said, in 1953, it was a waste of his time) at his graduate school - the University of Chicago. Bharucha-Reid published six books and nearly 80 papers in algebra, analysis, mathematical biology, statistics, and topology, and was an undisputd leader in the area of Random Polynomials. With the exception of short stays at many institutions, he spent the majority of his career at Wayne State University in positions from Professor to Chair to Dean. He completed his career at Clark-Atlanta University a few years before, despondent with the death of his wife and taking his own life in 1990.

G. Okikiolu: The excellence of Black persons in Mathematics has not been limited to Americans, the Nigerian George O. Okikiolu works in London and has published 3 books and at least 190 papers, more than any other Black mathematician. He is also the father of Katherine Okikiolu discussed above.



Ezeilo: Another Nigerian, James Ezeilo made an enormous contribution. This 1958 Ph.D. (University of Cambridge) has also received numerous honorary doctorates. His early research deals mainly with the problem of stability, boundedness, and convergence of solutions of third order ordinary differential equations. Apart from extending known results and techniques to higher order equations, the main thrust of his work was the construction of Lyapunov-like functions, which he did elegantly and used to study the qualitative properties of solutions. In addition he was a pioneer in the use of Leray-Schauder degree type arguments to obtain existence results for periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations. Finally, with two other mathematicians, Ezeilo built mathematics to the fine degree it exists in Nigeria today serving the entire African continent quite well.

Ronald E. Mickens at Historically Black Clark-Atlanta University straddles two fields, Mathematics and Physics, and from 1970 to 1999, Dr. Mickens published over 200 papers and 5 books. Recently, Mickens was honored with an election to Fellowship in the American Physical Society, a rare position limited to .5% of the membership of the society. With all of this Mickens has worked directly at the effort to bring African Americans into Physics and to improve Physics in Africa.


Here we note Charles Bell, who though, far from the rank of contemporaries Blackwell and Bharucha-Reid in Mathematical Statistics or Ezeilo and Mickens, had an exellent life-time career.



3. Who is [or was] the most important Black Mathematician?

I believe the answer is vaguely fathomable? Assuming "importance" refers to impact upon the community. Do we mean on mathematics, on the world community in general, or just in the African Diaspora community? In the first case, we discussed individuals in the masters above. In the last case the answer might be the first Black Math Ph.D., a mathematician influential with governement (as Percy A. Pierre), a great teacher (such as Etta Falconer or Clarence Stephens), a research mathematician, or some part or combination of the four (like Adegoke Olubummo or Raymond Johnson). You must decide; to learn more click on the underlined words.



2. Should a Black Mathematician have been awarded the Fields Medal?

OR

1. Is [or was] there a Black Gauss?

Carl F. Gauss and Archimedes are the greatest mathematicians of all time, and those not even close have won Mathematics' Fields Medal or the Nevanlinna Prize. Though a relatively recent award, the Fields Medal is sometimes known to the public as Mathematics' Nobel Prize, but that is a misnomer as the medal is only awarded to for work completed prior to the age of 40. In 2002, Cornell University and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (in Berkeley) established a biannual prize, the Blackwell-Tapia Prize in honor of David Blackwell and Richard A. Tapia, distinguished mathematical scientists who have been inspirations to more than a generation of African American and Hispanic American students and professionals in the mathematical sciences.

Less than 1% of all mathematicians are Black, but a high1 percentage, 15%, of Black Mathematicians do mathematics research.. Extreme obstacles (also see struggles) prior to 1970 often blocked mere participation of Blacks within the advanced mathematical community and may have had an effect on possible candidates for the Fields; however, a few slipped through the blockade. Further, we, the mathematics community, have had a generation, since 1970, to grow a Black prize winner and, to my knowledge, no Black mathematician of Fields Medal caliber has been totally ignored. Finally, since the beginning of the eighties, there have been enough journals so that a journal change can avoid a bad or racialist editor or referee. Not all published mathematics is good or even correct [see Fermat's Last Theorem]; however, no good mathematics goes unpublished unless its author desires it that way. I, therefore, believe the answer to question 1 is "NO!" and to question 2, "Maybe?"



(1 high compared with well under 10% in the general mathematical community)

Lies of hypocrisy from deluded and despicable beings to divert attention from the very obvious!

And yet you and your kinsmen have condescended so low as to make a living out of Igbo's quest for nationhood.
Yet many Yorubas are notoriously running amok on every media page with anti-BFR slogans while camouflaging as SE and SS people to be able to market your wicked propaganda and lies against the Igbo Nation.

I shall endeavour to drum it loud and clear into your thick skull; perhaps you'd see reason to channel your negative energies towards Odua Islamic Republic of Ritual-killers and Cannibals.

Lolss..look who is talking about CANNIBALS

xtrorze:


Did you just state that Igbos need to get over themselves and the perceived hatred they believe the SW has for them?

You mean after you and your Yoruba partners connived with your Northern masters to massacre helpless Igbo civilians in 1966-70 you still had the effrontery to castigate Igbos?

Are you trying to be mischievous, silly or what just to score some cheap points with your masters?

Well, I don't blame you entirely. It's this fraudulent union that gave you and your people the guts to rant carelessly against the Igbos.

I would suggest you take your silly talk against Igbos and shove it down your throat.

The Igbo Nation are comfortable having a separate existence from you.

Go find yourselves an idea you can live and die for!

you are a foooooooooooooool for what you wrote there. How stupid and idiotic can you be? So because you are slave you think every one is like you? You know another meaning of madness is believing you alone is right and the entire world is wrong. There was a war and people die, GET OVER IT. The igbos stupidly invaded Benin with the intention of marching through the SW to lagos what do you expect them to do sit down and fold their arms? America dropped 'Fat man' and 'little boy' on Japan's civilian population when was the last time they cry about it? In war you don't expect the opposition to play nice. That's why you COUNT YOUR COST BEFORE GOING TO WAR.

Ritchiee:
Lol...What is that thrash you have been putting up as achievements of the Igbos?Those links really make you ejaculate severally as some kind of achievements...you are really a laughing stock to think anybody would think of those thrash as achievements when compared to these...
WE GOT ALL THESE FIRSTS IN THE 1950,1960,70,80,90 and we still continue getting most of the firsts till date...kudos to the Yoruba great minds.

Here are a few of Yorubas who have comfortably enshrined their names in the record book. . Abimbola Awoliyi is Nigeria’s first female doctor -Kolapo Hamzat is the youngest professor of physiotherapy in Nigeria and Africa -Adegoke olubunmo is the first professor of Mathematics in Africa -Momodu Mosobalaje Olaloye is the first African professor of Geology -Dele Olojede is the first and only African to win a Pulitzer prize -Abimbola jayeola is Nigeria’s First Female Helicopter Pilot -William Akinola Dawodu was the first Nigerian car importer, he started importing cars into Nigeria in 1905 -Prof. Jade Akande was the first female professor of law in West Africa -Kofo Ademola is the first black woman to receive an undergraduate degree from Oxford University -Dr. Olaoluwa Hallowed Oluwadara is the youngest African PHD Holder in Mathematics -Deborah Enilo Ajakaiye is the first female physics professor in Africa and also the first black African to be named a fellow of the Geological society of London -Wole Soyinka is the first black and only African to win a Nobel prize for literature -Thomas Adesanya ige grillo is the first Nigerian professor of anatomy -...

Ritchiee:
Lolss..look who is talking about CANNIBALS

Yorubas are warriors who built 'empires'. Yorubas were the first to be educated and first to become civilized.

Yorubas are 'sophisticated' but in 2016 AD Yorubas still believe that one cannot achieve success save by ritual-killings and cannibalism. Yorubas still believe that offering sacrifices in shrines will save them from 'mysterious' diseases caused by their despicable, miserable living in dirt, squalor, abject poverty and
lack of basic hygiene.
These creatures are clowns, good for comedy shows!

The Yorubas are a people choking in their own vomits. A people who have become restless to live on their own; that at the mere thought of Biaf... and NK send cold shivers down their spines.

They envy the Igbo Nation who have done the impossible – standing up to their enemies and exercising their inalienable rights to self-determination.

As cowardly and sheepishly docile, Yorubas are a spineless group of people who are unable to stand up for a just cause other than to frenetically fish in troubled waters in search of malodorous, decomposing leftovers.

What sort of spineless beings would heat up the polity (using 'Operation Wetie', 'June 12') only to run into hiding in juju shrines with human sacrifices for protection?

Yorubas live in a mythical world far from reality, with large numbers of cannibals and ritual-killers.

A tribe of Judas with a foundation of treachery. A mischievous generation of vipers who wait for another people to develop their forests and swampy lands while they wile away their youthful lives in Owambe parties.

It's basically in Yoruba land that a man like Tinubu who embezzled Lagos State would call the shots and Yorubas would sheepishly prostrate before him and follow him and his candidates blindly. Many Yorubas sheepishly follow criminals like they have no sense. It's a pity!

If Yorubas are that learned and developed how come an acclaimed internationally acclaimed drug peddler cum treasury looter would pocket a supposedly 'sophisticated' people, mentally, economically, politically and physically if not spiritually?

Wonders never cease in this world, especially from the loud-mouthed group of backstabbing minions!

Hey, foul-mouthed boisterous clown, you didn't clean your bum-bum after using the toilet and you came here fouling the air with your rotten substance!
C'mon, go clean your smelly rear orifice! Dirty swine!

On a serious note, you've proven to be a disgusting and repugnant clown hiding under SS to parade stup1dity as  knowledge even in Nigeria history.

You sounded much like an ill-educated savage cum nitwit.
You're simply a boorish cretin displaying foolery and flaunting it as knowledge.
Disgruntled stup1d fellows can be detected miles away via their silly rants of desperation.

Imagine a wicked, treacheerous and backstabbing ethnic group that colluded with the enemy to commit genocide on Anioma people and still had the guts to grandstand in the public.

Neanderthal savage of dirt, slavery, squalor, anger, hate and propaganda making an attempt at history thinking that a butterfly supposedly acting smart is a bird!

Miserable butt-licker!

Yea, I do understand your plight especially since your Yoruba tribe rarely stand for anything!

Till date it's really difficult to repose confidence on a typical Yoruba person because of this chamelionic tendencies.

It's your cross!

What irony to think you are smart yet your decisions leave you with short end of the stick and end looking very foolish. Yorubas wil never be drawn into any senseless war with anyone. Our fathers and mothers experienced total war lasting several decades, Ibos are free to experience a second one if the first one is not enough to make them change strategy

If only you can cease spreading false tales about your lousy, noisemaking tribe you'll be sensible...

Remember the paper by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, where he revealed some truths about your people: "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention...

AlPeter:
are you through? Remember to drink some water after taking your psych-drugs.

It's time you treated your Cotard’s Delusion, “Walking Corpse Syndrome” lest you go the ways of your fathers...

mekaboy:
One senator bin ladin or bin nasal or so, said Jonathan had no right to host the national conference. That the conference was illegal and a waste of money and the report is useless and will not be impemented.
He said there was no need for it, that it was a waste of money.

He said the current constitution to him is a perfect one . They now asked him why they will be spending millions again to amend a perfect constitution. The said that the constitution is perfect does nt mean it does not need amendment

You can follow @CTVpoliticstoday handle on twitter to read reactions of Nigerians.

The following should address your concerns if any.
1. During the period the cobsrituional conference held, an ibo man, senator ike ekweremadu headed a parallel committee to review the present constitution.
2. The recommendations of the review by ekweremadu and his team was dumped in the trash bin because GEJ refused to pen it.
3. GEJ knew from the onset that he could not implement the resolutions of the conference bfor he dolled out billions for it. The conference was a show.
4. One year after the conference submitted their report nothing was done by GEJ because the conference had no legal backing. In other words it was dead on arrival. If the man who initiated it couldnt implement it who will.
5. Op you are biased to have brought in the igbos in your opening post. We had more igbos in prominent positions in the last govt yet non of them pushed for its implementation. Today, the dep Senate pres is igbo together with all his colleagues from the east. All the south east govs are igbos too, yet non of them to this day have said anything about the report talkless of pushing its implementation.
7. YOU HAVE NO CASE!!!

Wonders never cease to end in this Lord Lugard's cage!

How can a grown adult resort to silliness and be yarning dust to score some cheap points with his masters just because he too sheepish to stand for the truth?

I'm yet to grasp how Igbos got to be in the same country with these ass-licking minions who are barely existing at the mercies of their masters.

This is the kind of evil politics these confused bigots expect the Igbo Nation to continue to tolerate and that is their idea of 'One Nigeria' where they collude to persistently rob Peter to perennially pay parasitic Paul.

Find the video clip of a Fulani Lawmaker arrogantly claiming that the crude oil in Bayelsa State belong to Jigawa State:

There's no gainsaying that the Business Venture of Lord Lugard being supervised by the Islamic Fulani-led fiefdom, maintained by Hausa born-to-rule hegemony and oiled by Yoruba propaganda and lies is moribund already. 

The 102 years of existence is a testament to that verdict. And Igbos are not willing to self-destruct with these deluded beings!

Yorubas are warriors who built 'empires'. Yorubas were the first to be educated and first to become civilized.

Yorubas are 'sophisticated' but in 2016 AD Yorubas still believe that one cannot achieve success save by ritual-killings and cannibalism. Yorubas still believe that offering sacrifices in shrines will save them from 'mysterious' diseases caused by their despicable, miserable living in dirt, squalor, abject poverty and
lack of basic hygiene.
These creatures are clowns, good for comedy shows!

The Yorubas are a people choking in their own vomits. A people who have become restless to live on their own; that at the mere thought of Biaf... and NK send cold shivers down their spines.

They envy the Igbo Nation who have done the impossible – standing up to their enemies and exercising their inalienable rights to self-determination.

As cowardly and sheepishly docile, Yorubas are a spineless group of people who are unable to stand up for a just cause other than to frenetically fish in troubled waters in search of malodorous, decomposing leftovers.

What sort of spineless beings would heat up the polity (using 'Operation Wetie', 'June 12') only to run into hiding in juju shrines with human sacrifices for protection?

Yorubas live in a mythical world far from reality, with large numbers of cannibals and ritual-killers.

A tribe of Judas with a foundation of treachery. A mischievous generation of vipers who wait for another people to develop their forests and swampy lands while they wile away their youthful lives in Owambe parties.

It's basically in Yoruba land that a man like Tinubu who embezzled Lagos State would call the shots and Yorubas would sheepishly prostrate before him and follow him and his candidates blindly. Many Yorubas sheepishly follow criminals like they have no sense. It's a pity!

If Yorubas are that learned and developed how come an acclaimed internationally acclaimed drug peddler cum treasury looter would pocket a supposedly 'sophisticated' people, mentally, economically, politically and physically if not spiritually?

Wonders never cease in this world, especially from the loud-mouthed group of backstabbing minions!

If only you can cease spreading false tales about your lousy, noisemaking tribe you'll be sensible...

Remember the paper by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, where he revealed some truths about your people: "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention...

Go and and start another war now, who is holding you back?

Abobaku, the tribal armed robber cum lazy bandit from Odua Islamic Republic of Ritual-killers and Cannibals!

Neanderthal savage of dirt, squalor, anger, hate and propaganda, you ought to know that human parts are more affordable than cow meat in Yoruba land...

The Yorubaland is the undisputed world capital of ritual-killings and cannibalism!

You have enough evils in your juju-infested Yorubaland for your thesis. Good luck!

Busybody, if you're well schooled you would know that it was the Yorubas would used 'Operation Wetie' a.k.a Wild Wild West to end the First Republic in the 1960s.

The links provided hereafter are where you're needed. Stop advertising your foolery and disgracing your tribe in the public. Grow a ball and hold the bull by the horn so you can emancipate your deluded generation. Your balls shouldn't be exclusive for impregnation. Be wise...at least for once!
