So far its only nigerian websites with this news. A problem is not considered to be solved until it has been peer reviewed. A problem of this nature takes years to solve and years or months to confirm the solution. Its on the same league with the abc conjecture which Shinichi Mochizuki, a japanese number theorist, has spent 20 years providing a solution to, which was later posted on his webpage - proof of which is still undergoing peer review since 2012. Although a nigerian once claimed to have solved Fermat's Last Problem, peer review showed errors in his methods; It was later agreed Andrew Wiles method cracked the problem. But having a relook at it, i guess the problem is so difficult it will take something non western or oriental, something of perhaps a different environment, to be able to solve this one. Remember Soyinka and Literature in English. If Opeyemis method is cool, nigeria will suddenly appear on the maths map of the world. All we can do now is to see how the world responds. 7 Likes |

Aigbofa: lol Igbo people have no spirit of competition. 1. If a Yoruba is elected to high position [Kemi Adeosun], they start wailing. 2. If a Yoruba wins anything, they start wailing. 3. If a Yoruba is named the richest black woman in the word, they started wailing calling her a thief even though Ifeanyi Uba went the same route. This recent culture of fear of competition is not healthy for the igbo nation. 10 Likes |

Aareonakakanfo: Oh, okay. But if these folks don't know that there are tons of indigenous Yoruba folks in Kogi - then they will never know anything. Anyway, Yorubas have always produced some of the greatest black mathematicians ever. George Olatokunbo Okikiolu is arguably the greatest black mathematician ever and he has published more research papers on mathematics than any other black person in history. Ditto his daughter, Katherine Okikiolu. Then you have the likes of: James Adedayo Oguntuase, Adebisi Agboola etc.. No competition here. 5 Likes |

This news is shady. Checked everywhere. Still no proper acknowledgement of the feat from foreign media. All I see are Nigerian blogs claiming the same story, some even added their own version. I saw one claiming it was $1 billion. Another mentioned a totally different name. Not trying to be tribalistic here but to Nicepoker and Aigbofa [if the story is true] U need to know that his name (Dr. Opeyemi Enoch) signifies that he is Yoruba or at least has a Yoruba parent. And you need to also know that there are spread of Yoruba community in Kogi and in fact some parts of Togo and Benin, way before the colonial era. They still live there, but their culture is a little different from ours. 2 Likes |

cornel00: Yorubas from Kogi to Republic of Benin never disown each other, there are differences in dialects though, (Igbomina, Ijesa, Ife, Oyo, Ekiti, Akoko, Egba, Ibarapa, Oke Ogun, Ijebu, Remo, Awori, Yewa etc) but we all read and write one Yoruba - Oyo dialect is the closest to written Yoruba. In the East and South South, I have seen Kwale, Etche, Ogba, Ikwerre, all discussing with Ibos in similar language yet they claimed they are not Ibos. Kogi is not in SW also SW is not 100% Yoruba, there are Ijaws, Akoko Edos in Ondo/Ekiti and Ogu (Eguns) in Lagos/Ogun States 3 Likes |

I have another Yoruba friend from Togo. She speaks Yoruba too...... Also has a Yoruba name. I've yet to meet Yorubas from Gambia though, but I do see them on FB speaking Yoruba through a NLer's FB profile More about Yorubas in Gambia http://yorubainthegambia..com/ http://yorubatribe..com/2008/08/yoruba-in-gambia.html 1 Like |
