InyinyaAgbaOku: If it were baseless Yorubas because of their great minds would not have built empires like Britain,China,Rome... (all great races like the yorubas) while the Igbos were clutching their naked blockoss looking for... Yorubas would not have had the first in everything development and progress in Nigeria and sometimes Africa and in the world while Igbos,though existing were nowhere near the great yoruba nation. Yoruba man would not have written Igbos' first primer with the help of an Igbo slave to pave the way for Igbos' civilisation. You want more or you want to state why it is baseless using some examples now or then... Pls,don't run o.You people are always running when you meet an omoluabi in a debate because you don't have evidence just empty hollow chest beating. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Ritchiee:Yoruba never led anything anywhere in the continent and globally. In nigeria, yorubas only had GEOGRAPHICAL HEADSTART cos yorubaland is close to the seat of colonialists, lagos. We are even talking of iq , igbos have been rated highest in the continent both from national and international sources. Even the national cutoff marks say a lot .Enrollment rate? Highest number of professors? All the points you were trying to raise , albeit woefully, were of the past , I get am before no be property. Overtaking is allowed. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Groups like the famous Igbo tribe, which has contributed much genetically to the African American blacks, are well known to be high academic achievers within Nigeria. In fact, their performance seems to be at least as high as the “model minority” Chinese and Indians in the UK, as seen when some recent African immigrants are divided into languages spoken at home (which also indicates that these are not multigenerational descendants but children of recent immigrants). Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011. The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance. A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites. http://www.unz.com/article/the-iq-gap-is-no-longer-a-black-and-white-issue/ 7 Likes |

Ritchiee:I said it was woeful cos none of your points were true. Which history? You were never better than any group. Check your first unis, who were the first VCs? Most senior lecturers then were Igbos. Let's not open that page pls. What of now, look at cutoffs, enrollment rates, The Millennium development goals across the geopolitical zones, performance of students. Igbos take the lead in academics pls. Did you say technology? Only Igbo technologies and crafts are exported out of Nigeria as we speak , Aba made shoes, bags, belt, nnewi made spare parts, lubricants and even cars have passed the shores of Nigeria. That is technology by indigent Nigerians . 6 Likes |

InyinyaAgbaOku: Yes,we were never better than any group but we were better than Igbos.No group said they were better than anybody except Igbos.I am just taking away that your hollow chest beating with the real pictures and not fantasy. READ: Yoruba was the first to move the motion for Nigeria's independence in the federal parliament and he obtained internal self-government for the Western Region in 1957. He is credited with coining the name "naira" for the Nigerian standard monetary unit and helped to finance the Civil War and preserve the federation without borrowing. He built the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan , the first of its kind in Africa; established the WNTV, the first television station in Africa; erected the first skyscraper in tropical Africa: the Cocoa House (still the tallest in Ibadan) and ran a widely respected civil service in the Western Region. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo 5 Likes 1 Share |

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. CONTENTS Who are the young mathematicians whose careers exhibit extraordinary promise? Mathematicians of the 1990s Mathematicians of the 1980s Who are the greatest Black Mathematicians? Great Black Mathematicians of the 1970s & 1960s The Masters 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. http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/madgreatest.html 3 Likes 1 Share |
