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

Nobody is saying the guy is not capable here but think about it: BBC has proven to be unreliable with news like this; the clay institution has said that there is still no solution and up until yesterday, only Nigerian sources were carrying this news.
It all seems a little suspicious don't you think? I personally think the dude has a solution that hasn't been proven yet and he needs to stop tooting his horn prematurely.

Boy101:
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?

Unfortunately, you don't know that white man would find it very difficult to believe an African or even a blackman could solve that maths problem. So, even as the man have the answer he will not be believed, because white people believe they're the custodians of knowledge, and rightly so because brainwashed people like you exist.

This's why I pity people like you, cause you have no idea of the ongoing intellectual control that white people exerts or want to exert over YOU.

The man have the answer, but he would not be believed, because he's a blackman. OPEN YOUR EYES BLACKMAN!.

Dude did you even check Claymath site before storming over here to make a comment.
Dr. Enoch may have a proof, but according to Claymath, the hypothesis still remains unsolved.

Nigerians sha!

linearity:
I don't know why we always defaults to these types positions...black people have made headway in science, medicine, art, etc and they are recognized worldwide because of their contributions, even by the Whiteman.

There is nothing to suggestion that, Dr. Enoch is been snubbed because he is black...there is a rigorous vetting process put in place for potential solutions for one of the millennial questions and the person does not even have to submitted their solutions to the Clay Institute.

They are required to piblish their solution in an international reputable mathematics magazine, where it will remain for at least two years and where other world wide mathematicians, will critique, vet or collaborate the solution openly; so it is an open vetting process that will last for two years...after the two years period, the Clay Institute will form a three panel board to look at the proposed solution and other critiques/collaborating publications and then make a decision.

Mathematics is straight forward, there is no way to cheat and the publication date gives periority to each author, so there is no conspiracy here.

Naijaphil:
See this is why people cannot have meaningful conversations with people like you. You take what is a simple reasonable explanation of what can be happening in one situation and then turn it into me being brainwashed. Who are you calling brainwashed? It is not my portion or my family's portion.

You can believe whatever you want with as much cynicism as you like. Just don't let it turn to paranoia there. I have explained what I feel about this situation and I am not partaking in a discussion like the one you are trying to start. If you want to sit there and blame everything wrong with the world on the white man then good luck with your life.

musicwriter:
May be he've done that already or will do it later. But, white people aren't the custodians of knowledge.

linearity:
That is the problem, he should have publish it first, thereby preserving his priority before telling any living soul.

Million of people had been seeking solution to one of the several Clay Institute questions in other to cash in on the huge pay out, opening your mouth before preserving your priority gives others a hints and if they beats you to publication even dubbing your solution, you lose out.

musicwriter:
Why don't you have faith that a Nigerian have solved the problem?. Why don't you believe until white man say so?.

At least, if you've suggested he go to international publications like the other guy said, that would be understandable.

Naijaphil:
Refer to what I wrote in my first post. I said that I believe he has a solution but that the solution has not been confirmed by anyone. This is the field of mathematics and these things must be thoroughly verified and peer-reviewed.

The very fact that he has a solution is applaudable. It's not easy. It is just this media circus that the guy has created that seems to be annoying everyone. He should have said from the start that he has A solution; one that he has not yet proven to anybody.

I believe strongly in Nigerian minds, trust me! And it is true that we have been marginalized and treated as apes for too long. In this case though, the guy is just complicating matters. This is where we were both confused about each other's points I think.

Kennydoc:
I will only take you serious when WAEC, NECO and JAMB confirm this Yoruba intelligence. As far as the South Eastern states still top the charts in these 3 exams, including the Unity Schools entrance exams, then you are just ranting.

Please remember that the first black VC in the first Nigerian University (University of Ibadan, in Yoruba land) was an Igbo man, Prof Kenneth Dike. The first black VC of UNILAG, Prof Eni Njoku was also an Igbo man. Let's not even go into the history of many firsts, including the first Professors of Mathematics, Medicine, Economics etc.
My guy, just leave that your bragging.

TheGoodJoe:
Did you read what I posted before storming at me. I do not need to check the website to prove the point I was making. In the quoted part of the article, the person said,

“As a matter of policy, the Clay Mathematics Institute does not comment on solutions to the Millennium Problems."

So, the person can not say whether the millennium problem is solved or not.

So even if the site said it is not solved, it does not prove anything because Clay Mathematics Institute will not comment about it.

They have a policy before they comment.

Nigerians and Hatred for themselves.

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.”

bankyprince:
You should have carried out proper research before spilling out rubbish. The first professor of Mathematics in Nigeria was a Yoruba man. Prof Adegoke Olubummo of blessed memory.

tallfish145:
Yorubas are too good academically and politically

naptu2:
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.

Stconvict:
Well your quotation is very incomplete Oga.

So what were you saying again.

Stconvict:
One thing caught my attention though. The tribalistic war on this thread only involves two tribes the Igbos and the Yorubas. Where are the Hausa?
Is the academic tussle between the Igbos and the Yorubas alone? There should be Hausas here to defend their academic excellence given they are nearly more than the two other tribes combined.

Christmasdon:
Do not worry! You solved 150years old marimarics and you are happy,we will solve a 400years own to show you we are the choosen ones!

musicwriter:
My bother or sister.

Mr. Opeyemi have the answer, but he woundn't be believed because he's a blackman. Even though he have the answer, he will still have to fight to be heard. I believe that's why he went to BBC. There's a real conspiracy against black people, and it didn't begin today.

In order to keep controlling the minds of black people, there're some feats that are not supposed to be credited to black people.

Despite that human life began here in Africa, white people deem it fit to draw Adam and Eve as white.
Despite that Jesus and Mary were black, white people deem it fit to present them as white.

The erased history of black people and bible characters.

Despite that Pythagoras studied Mathematics here in Africa, the history books have no credit for blackman developing mathematics. As a matter of fact, Pythagoras is being treated as a myth among western scholars, just because he said he studied mathematics in Africa.
Pythagoras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras

We have looked into these things and have proof, that's why I find it annoying my fellow blacks keep saying "YES" when white man say "YES" and "NO" when white man say "NO".

TheGoodJoe:
Same thing happened with Doctor Agbalaka. He talked about a curative vaccine method and people lashed at him. Today, the method is used in curing many diseases that seemed incurable like Ebola, Swine Flu, Herpes, Hepatitis, CCanceretc. There is even breakthroughs through it in the treatment of Autism.
