nigerians are alwys astounding even in the midst of the europeans

That story is false, just a bit of bad journalism.

Congrats to Mr. Enoch and Nigeria as a whole. Although we need to be careful how soon we denounce or approve a news. It cuts both ways, bloggers have made it easier to easily not believe in a news story, we need professionals in Mass Com and Journalism to take the reins and show how its done.

True, claymath hasn't updated it on their website but then, here is BBC confirming it. Are we to say BBC is wrong as well?

Congrats!!! Celebration mood. in Ekiti Voice "Inh mateo kooo!!!" Resounding Standing Ovation to the Genius! Imagine if this guy was white, by now thousands of endorsement and celebrations. When will black people stop deriving useless pleasure from pulling one another down ??!!!

yomexp:
who denied him certainly not BBC

IPOB youths!

It hasn't been confirmed yet

You are kidding.

The hypothesis had not been solved for over 150years. How does BBC knows its been solved?. If for a centruy and more than 5 decades, no mathematicians could offer solutions, is it the Holy Spirit that just told BBC that the problem has been solved just because one man has scribbled some math related notes?

Google Chike Obi or Philip Emeagwali. Educate yourself on the people who invented mathematics.

Chike Obi (April 17, 1921 – March 13, 2008) was a Nigerian politician, mathematician and professor.

You loud mouth wont let us hear word because your brother solved one equation that nobody was interested in.

The African Mathematics Union suggests that he was the first sub-Saharan African to hold a doctorate in mathematics. Dr. Obi's early research dealt mainly with the question of the existence of periodic solutions of non-linear ordinary differential equations. He successfully used the perturbation technique, and several of his publications greatly helped to stimulate research interest in this subject throughout the world and have become classics in the literature.

This will be interesting, but what exactly is going on,is the man a ghost? Are we saying there is no nairalander in his school or one of his students?

Actually, I was one of his students some 8yrs) ago and that was when he hinted us about the problem. He traveled to Austria 2weeks ago to defend his findings, and under a normal circumstance it ought to have takn nothing less than 18 months for clay institute to review the solution and certified that it has finally been solved. So that's the reason its not yet updated on their site and has a matter of fact, vanguard shouldn't have initially broke the news.

BBC has not and does not possess the authority to confirm if this complex hypothesis has been proved. BBC can only report, only the Clay institute has that authority.

The Clay website has not reported thus. This BBC article does not confirm anything but presents it as Dr. Enoch's claim and the article goes ahead to conclude that "If it is confirmed that he is the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch could scoop a million dollar prize".

To be awarded this prize, your proof must be published in internationally recognised peer reviewed journals and it must also have general acceptance in the mathematics community two years after, the last part of which has not been satisfied by Dr. Enoch.

Please be guided accordingly.

I know him very very well.. He taught me two courses last semester. This solution that we are talking about, he had shown a part of it to some of us before releasing it.

The Reimann hypothesis was proposed in 1856, making it 156 years-old. Even the Nigerian news is even more accurate that this BBC story.
I checked the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03891wc , they were uncertain. They didn't make a claim, they posed a question instead. So op, your mobile version of the story has been tampered with. Anyone looking for the true story should check the site.

Nigerian professor claims to solve 150 year old maths problem

Has a maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution, finally been solved by Nigerian academic Dr. Opeyemi Enoch? The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. If it is confirmed that he is the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch could scoop a million dollar prize.

Anyway, Claymaths Institute site still shows that this hypothesis remains unsolved. If Claymath is the one giving the award and the prize, then their acknowledgement is all I need to believe this is true.
Until then keep posting! Give us CNN , AlJazeera.
All that matters is Claymath's side of the story.

I dont think you are in a position to comment on this issue

You need to solve more personal issues

Gud news. . .bt how dem take knw say he correct after solving d equation?

Don't mind them. Some people don't understand simple grammar.

yomexp:
dominique please dont lock this thread. This will will finally lay to rest the controversies as to whether or not The Riemann Hypothesis was finally solved by a Nigerian. BBC just broke the news. thanks
.

The BBC has updated the story from "Solved" to "Claim to solve".

Trust me... If it turns out to be a valid solution, everybody will hear about it and it will be a huge plus for Nigeria.

dominique this is a new perspective to this news BBC WOLD SERVICE just brought it to mainstream. thanks

Below is what the BBC actually said in the link supplied by the OP. It doesn't seem like a confirmation:

"Nigerian professor claims to solve 150 year old maths problem.

Has a maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution, finally been solved by Nigerian academic Dr. Opeyemi Enoch? The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. If it is confirmed that he is the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch could scoop a million dollar prize".

yomexp:
oga naptu2 what do you think?

The Telegraph has also reported the story, but it's not on the Clay Institute's website. Therefore, I think that the professor has submitted a solution, but it hasn't yet been verified by the Clay Institute. I'd rather wait for the Clay Institute to verify it and make the announcement.

OK. We will wait for Philips70 News Network to give us the authentic version of the news, since everyone else is wrong

See, I will be very happy if the news turn out to be true. I only tried to remind us the report of the BBC is not a validation of the earlier news from Nigeria since it was sourced from here also. That shouldn't be difficult to comprehend.

If anything this story is gathering traction on the internet. International news sites like UK telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/12000314/The-Riemann-Hypothesis-solution-found-by-Dr-Opeyemi-Enoch.html are picking up the story. This says a lot about the follow-the-sheperd style of journalism today. They don't work with facts anymore, it's all about copy and pasting, but I'm sure they will change their wordings soon though.
Now this man's salary is going to increase, even if his proof gets debunked. He is now a celebrity mathematician. Students and scholars around the world are going to talk about him. If this was his original strategy, then it is working.
