dayo23: Chai! Chai!chai!.....PROF GABRIEL OYINBO the World best MAthematician...Argument over! A.B.U ZARIA On point.Gabriel Oyibo is another intellectual fraud like Emegwali. I should be proud of him, attending same secondary school, but hey. |

Jarus:Jarus, how is Emeagwali an intellectual fraud? |
Re: University In Nigeria With The Most Recognized Alumni? by naturalwaves: 9:10am On Oct 19, 2012 |
Jarus:Can you pls shed more light on this ambiguous statement of yours? I see you have checked the net and you have read that report by Sahara reporters saying both of them are intellectual 419s simply based on the fact that Emeagwali claims to have 41 patents though unpublished and there is another report that Gabriel Onyibo was nominated 4 times for the nobel prize in Physics. The said reporter contacted the Organisers of the awards and was told that they do not reveal a list of the nominees and it is only after 50 years after the award that one can know who the nominees were . It was so glaring from the writer's report that he is so pained by the fact that Gabriel's image was put on Nigeria's postal stamp in 2005/2006. The jealous writer was even so angry at the way both great men are so so respected and honoured. It was purely beef instinct and jealousy. Infact, how does those claims translate to being an intellectual fraud? An intellectual fraud should be when one steals other people's idea and claim to be one's while using such ideas to gain fame, promotion, respect, recognition etc and not when one does a mild hyping or ego boosting. It was a pity to see that you only read the article in a biased way. You couldn't even notice the degrading intents of the writer. See, nothing can change the fact that both Phillip Emeagwali and Gabriel Oyibo are gifted and anointed scholars, two of the finests to ever emerge from this continent called Africa. If I may ask, do you know that Prof. Oyinbo has proved that, BY THE DEFINITION OF AN ELEMENT, ONLY HYDROGEN DESERVES TO BE CALLED AN ELEMENT? Trust the whites, they know better now but they are so ashamed to say and admit that what they initially propounded was wrong. #Let us learn to give honour to whom it is due# Here is a link to the senseless article http://mobile.saharareporters.com/article/intellectual-419-philip-emeagwali-and-gabriel-oyibo-compared And here is a good response by a reader to the nonsense that was written; Following the Emeagwali article in which Oyibo was mentioned, I had requested that SR produce evidence linking Prof Oyibo to intellectual fraud. I had expected something in the nature of plagiarism, claims of nonexistent qualifications and publications etc. I am really shocked that Prof Oyibo has published so extensively. In an attempt to diminish the value of his intellectual achievements, you claim that though records show he has 104 publications, Zentrallblat and Nova Journal of Maths published about ten, and thus, the others were not in recognised journals! You people really frightening! Prof Oyibo is a mathematician, and I am sure he could publish in other science journals apart from mathematics. Does that mean that those other journals are not recognised because they are not mathematical journals? Does it mean that those publications cease to be Oyibo's just because they appeared in non-mathematical journals? You claimed Prof Oyibo is now jobless, but in one of the links you provided, you actually admit that he is now a Professor in a "minor" university! I am sure you know what it takes to establish a university. It may not be an Ivy League, but does that make it any less a university? Does that disqualify its academic staff from regarding their tenures as jobs? This is very disgraceful! I am not surprised therefore that you guys at SR are having a herculean task producing such evidence to back your allegations that Oyibo is an intellectual fraud, because non exists. If Prof Oyibo has health problems (psychiatric)as you subtely suggest, is it new? Is he the first academic to suffer such problems? What is your motive? what do you hope to achieve by trying to tarnis the guy's image? If you have an ax to grind with the man why not do so without trying to impugn his academic credentials or is this pure envy as I suspected from day one when SR published the Emeagwali article and mentioned Prof Oyibo? Since when did it become a crime to make scientific claims? Claims had always been made and will continue to be made - such claims are either confirmed or debunked by subsequent research. I am not a scientist, but that is the whole essence of scholarship; that's how the frontiers of knowledge constsantly expands, boundaries are pushed, some times from seemingly "absurd" claims. And did you say Professor Oyibo just made a new discovery? NB: If you want your head on a Nigerian postage stamp then go make your own discoveries or outrageous claims too. |

Here is what I found online about Prof Gabriel Oyibo (not Onyibo) who seems to be the most 'popular' scientist/academic ABU students/alumni can boast of. Mysteriously in 2002, there has appeared a hoax around the internet that Dr. Oyibo is a Nobel Prize Nominee (some of the writers call it the Nobel Peace Prize). THIS IS FALSE (akin to an acquaintance saying I ought to be nominated for the Nobel Prize)... A simple check would be to search whether anyone else has been told they nominated, and nominated in a period so close to the time of discovery of the research. anuary 10 2005: A few days ago there was a call for Oyibo to prove his GAGUT Theorem for Nigerian Professors of Mathematics. A few days later he responded with an equivalent of I don't need to prove my work is true, you need to show it is false. The reason for this absurd stature is his claim,"The Nigerian scientist also said a fellow Nigerian mathematician Alexander Animalu, as well as the American Mathematical Society and the European Mathematical Society had carried out extensive reviews on GAGUT without any problem." Apparently when Brooklyn Polytechnic failed to tenure Dr. Oyibo, he filed a racial discrimination suit. I have been told that, as part of Oyibo's settlement of the suit with Brooklyn Polytechnic, that university was to nominated him for a Nobel Prize; however, I been unable to get an independent verification. Here is what can be called his real scientific achievement. Recently Dr. Oyibo discovered a new hodograph technique for determining exact nonlinear two-dimensional unsteady and three dimensional flow. This discovery has already begun to change a century old scientific and mathematical perception that the hodograph tool was only useful for two-dimensional fluid flow problems. In evolving the Hodograph transformation concept into a practical design tool, Dr. Oyibo has been involved in extensive application of numerical methods and large computer programs utilizing the Cray supercomputer. This Cray experience has convinced Dr. Oyibo that the resulting design tool would potentially be a significant discovery. In fact, some 3-D aerodynamic shapes are now being evolved from this discovery which theoretically promises to make shock free flight at the speed of sound possible. This research is suggesting that the solutions of most mathematical physics equations can be found from group transformation theory, the core of my research. This theory hopefully can be used to solve the full Navier Stokes and Reynolds Averaged equations for turbulence in closed form. http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/PEEPS/oyibo_gabriela.html |

Most alumni of ABU are politicians and any Tom, Dick and Harry can fall into that class in Nigeria, we are talking about people who hv distinguished themselves in their field of specialization and are recognized across the world for the values they hv added to learning, compare the list of UNN and ABU and u'll understand what I'm saying. As for smbody claiming that UI is a first generation I make bold to say that UNN is the first recognised University in Nigeria, UI was a university college and was subsequently giving the status of a full flegded university. |

Unkl': The quest was "Recognized Alumni", not Professionals or specific job. Recognition is about who is well known in the society. You will instantly recognize most of the list from ABU Alumni, but one can hardly recognize most of that list from UNN. |

olusogo: It is amazing to see a list comprising alumni of University of Ibadan being claimed by enthusiasts of other universities. Professor Ango Abdullahi was alumnus of U.I. He was honored by the NAAS, University of Ibadan branch in 2003 at their Maiden Alumni Lecture delivered by Emeritus Professor Adenuga Oyenuga(rtd). He graduated in 1965.I think I need to school you a little.. Alumnus simply means a former graduate, student,member or employee of a school, colledge or university. Professor ango Abdullahi was ofcourse a graduate of UI. However he obtained his professorship from ABU andsubsequently became a Vice chancellor. |
