Nigerian scientist, Oyibo, gets honour in U.S.
From Laolu Akande,

YET another Nigerian is making waves in academic circles across the globe. Prof. Gabriel Oyibo, a Mathematical physicist, has advanced Albert Einstein's relativity theory and answered questions that Einstein tried to address until he died regarding the origin of the universe.
Oyibo's latest book is already bursting the charts and he is getting a third nomination for the Nobel Prize. A group of African Americans in Washington DC has already decided to institute a professorial chair for him at an endowed sum of $2.5 million.
The group, Washington Interdependence Council (WIC), in a recent press statement issued in Washington DC said that Oyibo's new scientific equation Gij,,j=0 is a "radical new hypothesis on the quantum theory of life." The equation, according to the statement, "discloses that there is only one element rather than 118 and the other 117 components formerly accepted as elements are instead compounds."
For his new formula and findings, Oyibo has been nominated thrice for the Nobel Prize in Physics. A professor of Mathematics at the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States (U.S.), Oyibo has also now founded a new institute for the further study, application and understanding of his findings.
His latest book, the Grand Unified Theorem, Discovery of the Theory of Everything and the Fundamental Building Block of Quantum Theory, is already bursting the science charts in the U.S.
It discloses that there is only one element in the periodic table, which all basic students of science, especially chemistry, study. Before Oyibo discovered that the only element is hydrogen, there were believed to be 118 elements as contained in all scientific periodic tables, including the ones in Nigeria. But the Nigerian scientist has now proved that there is only one element, and that the remaining are compounds.
The WIC said: " This discovery calls for immediate revision of the science curriculum from elementary school to university levels. Therefore, every person is now obliged to compel their respective Boards of Education and universities to begin to enforce the implementation... as it provides a platform for the cure of heretofore incurable diseases and conditions.'"
At a time Oyibo discovered that hydrogen is the only element, there has also been seen the advance of hydrogen in science generally. There are now hydrogen-powered cars, just as the concept of hydrogen bombs have also been expressed.
Peggy Seats, Founder and Chief Executive of WIC, noted that Oyibo's discovery defining the concept of life, soul and spirituality, is revolutionary. He said: "We couldn't be happier that this world renowned genius...has agreed to work with us to advance and promote the active enrolment of disenfranchised youths to pursue Mathematics, Science and Engineering as professional pursuits."
WIC is naming the Oyibo chair after a noted famous African-American astronomer, scientist and Mathematician, Benjamin Banneker, who is one of the surveyors of the Washington DC when it was yet to be developed about the time of the American war of independence. WIC is a non-profit civic agency authorised by the U.S. Congress to "establish a world class memorial to Banneker. Ó
Oyibo's nomination to the Nobel committee has been re-presented for this year. Although one of his main supporters, Albert EinsteinÕs assistant Emeritus Professor Edith Luchins has since died, she left word supporting the nomination before she died. Luchins had said that she felt the most exciting contribution Oyibo made is the formulation of Einstein Unified Field Theory.
Her words: "I am thrilled that Gabriel Oyibo was the first to complete the task that intrigued and challenged Einstein and many other luminaries in science. Moreover, he did so in a Mathematically elegant manner...he is eminently qualified for the Nobel Prize in Physics."
But Oyibo says that his concern is that Nigerians and Africans at home are missing out from studying and potentially benefiting from his findings. He is worried that while his books and works are continuously being studied all over the world, by famous and prestigious educational institutions, the same is not happening in Africa.
Oyibo has set up an institute called OFAPPIT Institute of Technology to carry on the task of educating more and more about his findings. Next month, the institute will be conducting a workshop on his discovery, which he said the National Universities Commission (NUC) Executive Secretary, Professor Peter Okebukola has promised to support. Oyibo is also reaching out to the Education Minister, Professor Fabian Osuji, and some African embassies in the U.S., including Nigeria, to explore ways in which Africans can also take part in the studying and benefiting from his work.
He said he would like to have Nigerians to participate in the summer workshop taking place between July 19 and 23, asking people to send him emails on: [email protected] and visit his website on www.geocities.com/igala1 to find out more about his findings.
Already, Oyibo's books are being studied in Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, and many others, which reserve his books in the reference sections of the libraries and where many students and faculties are yearning for him to deliver public lectures on his work.
Other international agencies interested in Oyibo's work include the German Armed Forces, which is currently offering some of his books for sale on their website, according to Oyibo.
It is the view of Oyibo that his findings have provided a new platform for the cure of incurable diseases by virtue of discovering a new building block approach to healing afflicted cells rather than attempting to kill them off with therapeutic approaches such as chemotherapy.
Oyibo obtained his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (R.P.I) Troy, New York where he worked for four years on NASA/AFOSR sponsored research and made several contributions in aircraft design, aerodynamics, aero-elasticity, Mathematics and taught several courses.
He introduced the concept of Affine Transformations into the field of aero-elasticity, aeronautics, which is used by prominent researchers and aircraft companies around the world.
He holds the AIAA Journal worldwide publication record for 1983 and was selected by NATO/AGARD as a contributor to their unsteady transonic aerodynamic research.
He found a new hodograph technique for determining non-linear two-dimensional, unsteady and three dimensional flow, resulting in a new analytical and wing design tool, involving extensive application of numerical methods and large computer programmes utilising the Cray supercomputer.
