All because it is a Yoruba Mathematician that was credited for this feat, they are so angry and bitter

. If it was an easterner, which is highly unlikely, they would have opened countless threads to beat their chests.

They have time to send emails to organisations to confirm if a Yoruba man is smarter than them but they cannot write letters or emails to their leaders to explain why Eastern land is poor and the youths unemployed

If easterners spend half of the time they use on Yoruba matter on their own development, Eastern land will more habitable

A maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution, has finally been solved by Nigerian academic Dr. Opeyemi Enoch. The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. As the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch has scooped a million dollar prize.



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

Finally lalasticlala do the needful.

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?

wiseoneking:
Nigerians and illiteracy of reading COMPRENSION. BBB is not saying or confirming anything thing that he won it. Open the bbc link and they saying it is not confirmed and that probably other person might have solved the question before now. They are more rhetoric and never said it was solved. LETS HOPE IS TRUE, HONESTLY FOR NOW NO SHOW SINCE PUNCH AND NTA ARE KEEPING MUTE. But it will a great thing for the northerners for their son to bring such an honour to the region. This will place the okun ethnic group in kogi state in a higher profile of achievement. Can any thing good esp in education come out of northern nigeria, yes. I concluded that this man is of okun ethnic, he may probably be igbirra man that somes bears sw first name or even oworo man around oworosoki are of dangote cement abajana.

Haters can hate all they want, they can't change the obvious fact that Yorubas are exceptionally very intelligent!

Before the Colonial Masters left, the Britons made an historical observation while testing different tribes during Military exercises in the then new Nigerian Military. They said Yoruba military officers are unmatchably the best at inventing and developing catastrophically destructive military tactics and strategies. This was verified and corroborated during Biafran war. igbos can make chest-beat for as long as they want but, history has shown that they are not as half as intelligent as the great Yorubas! Brain is better than brawn (in fact, brain rules brawn).

Even though they try so hard to deny and hide it, one reason why igbos hate Yorubas so much is because they know that Yorubas are by far FAR much more intelligent than them. All igbos strategies, French military supports, plans and profuse frantic efforts was almost giving them Victory during the war. The war dragged on for almost 3 years.
Read History, Nigeria was actually losing till the Great unUniformed super intelligent Generallisimo; the Great Awolowo stepped in on the side of the Nigeria Military. He came up with the best military strategy that quickly and most effective ended the war that has dragged on for almost 3 Years. Typical of igbos, Coward fake chest-beater, Ojukwu dressed like a woman (tail between his legs, urinating on his body) fled before the fierce mercilessly Yoruba Soldier Bejamin Adekunle the Scorpion and other soldiers. Suddenly, the senselessness igbos that had been boasting came cap-in-hand, tongue-in-cheek, using their mouth to wipe the floor, weeping and begging Nigeria to have mercy on them. Yorubas are geniuses. When next you see a Yoruba, duff your hats and bow!

Except Yorubas decides to leave Nigeria, let igbos fight 10,000 biafra wars, we would defeat them! We did it before, we'll do it again and again...

manny4life:
Wait, let me get this straight...

Dr. Opeyemi acknowledged the Clay Math Institute but the Institute has distanced association from his claim. Meanwhile BBC and other news media are carrying the news... Biko, which one is true? Shouldn't Clay Institute acknowledge this or rather, should the Dr. defend this? Also, who awarded him the $1million prize?

musicwriter:
So, until this news got broken by BBC and CNN it shouldn't be taken serious that a Nigerian is capable on such feat?. I mean, are we saying white people are the custodians of knowledge?. Are we saying white people are knowledge base of what we should know and what we shouldn't know?.

Africans are forever slaves to the west. Indeed, intellectual slavery is the worst legacy of colonialism.

Clay Math Institute Denies Century Old Math Problem Solved By Nigerian


https://www.nairaland.com/2741612/clay-math-institute-denies-century

Naomi Kraker, administrative manager in an email to The Herald said, “As a matter of policy, the Clay Mathematics Institute does not comment on solutions to the Millennium Problems. The current status of the problems and complete information about each, can be found at www.claymath.org; I’m afraid I can not add anything beyond what is available there.”

TheGoodJoe:

I wonder how this translated to he did not solve it. The person just said, We do not comment about it.[/b]

Horayce:
Anyone who attempts something like this usually gets my admiration. They do not have to win it or solve it. Ur already a genius in my opinion by merely taking a crack at it. I read a book recently about a Princeton prof who solved the last fermats theorem in the early 90s. Fermats last theorem states that there are no integer solutions for x^n + y^n = z^n (for n >2). This simple looking theorem had gone unsolved for about three centuries and puzzled a lot of mathematicians thru time. Whole new branches of math and sophisticated techniques had to be developed that enabled professor wiles and his contemporaries to come closer to a solution. But it was wiles who did it after dedicating most of his life and 7 concentrated years to the task. At any given time there are probably less than 100 ( a conservative no.) human beings walking the surface of earth who have the skills to even attempt a solution. So kudos to the Nigerian who is "doing" this.

Chidozieude:
Is it the Enugu state chapter of Clay Institute?

BBC has reported it, i am sure they verified it before reporting it

am I the only one that noticed conditional words like "claims" and "if". Also the ?
