NIGERIA'S FIRST PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS:

Prof Kunle Ajayi 13th December 2020

Adegoke Olubummo (bottom left) was born April 19, 1923 to the first literate Olorin of Orin, H.R.H. Oba William Adekolawolu Olubummo II and Olori Abigael Osarayi Olubommo.

As a child of parents of high honor, he received an excellent education at Methodist schools in which he worked (Ifaki Methodist School) as a pupil teacher in 1937.

In 1938, at the age of 14, Olubumo entered Wesley College in Ibadan. In 1942 he returned to his alma mater as a teacher, and for the next few years taught at primary and secondary schools in Nigeria, Ghana (then the Gold Coast), and Sierra Leone. He earned his B.A. from Fourah College in Freetown Sierra Leone (1950).

Adegoke Olubummo earned his M.A. in Mathematics (1952) and his Ph.D. (1955) from King's College, University of Durham in Castle-Upon-Tyne, United Kingdom.

In 1955, he began as a lecturer in the mathematics department the University College, Ibadan, Nigeria where he was promoted to (Full) Professor in 1964 contrary to the widely held view that Professor Chike Obi is the first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics.

Dr. Olobummo was head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Ibadan for many years, where he was determined to create qualitative traditions in spite of the handicaps of development in a young African university.

In 1985 he retired from the University of Ibadan, and became Dean of the Faculty of Science of Ondo State University.

Dr. Adegoke Olubummo, with James Ezeilo and Chike Obi, was one of a trio of black (indigenous) mathematicians who pioneered modern mathematics research in Nigeria.

He pioneered the establishment of the Forum for Functional Analysis and its Applications and the Nigerian Mathematical Society. Many of his Ibadan students went off to earn the doctorate in mathematics; e.g., T. O. Adewoye, Olusola Akinyele, S. K. Assiamous, V. A. Babola, the Senator S. O. Iyahen, E. O. Oshabi, and O. Popoola.

All three of Professor Olubummo's children are mathematicians as he forbade any to read any other course as first degree except Mathematics.

Woe betide you also if you did not make a First class. The eldest daughter Yewande (standing right) is a professor of Mathematics in the US.

Yewande and Ronke (standing left) made the First class effortlessly, while my friend Gboyega (upper middle) who dared to "fail Maths" by graduating with a 2nd class upper degree later did a Pgd in Computer science at Unilag and became a programmer with Microsoft!!

Prof died on October 26, 1992 after a protracted illness.

What is the difference between Jonathan and Tinubu?

Answer: Jonathan was in office while Tinubu is in power.
You can be a president for 10 years and you are in office but spend just 2 years as the president and be in power.
Note that difference deeply.

Every political benefits that you are enjoying as a Yoruba man or woman in Nigeria in this 4th republic was built on blood and martyrdom of this man called MKO Abiola.

MKO Abiola was the blood sacrifice that was used to build the foundation of the fourth republic of Nigeria. Any political leverage that the Yoruba people have in this 4th republic, it was because MKO made himself a martyr for the rest of us. He was an Aare oona kakanfo who paid the supreme sacrifice.
We must never forget where we are coming from in Nigeria as Yoruba people.

Always tell your children about JUNE 12, 1993!

A lot of young Igbos thought they are victims of Nigeria.
I think this is false.
In the first republic, the most powerful ethnicity in Nigeria were the Igbos. They called the shots and destroyed anybody or any ethnicity that stood in their way.

The 1966 coup was what destroyed their grand plan for Nigeria and flipped power back to the Northwest of Nigeria.

If you read what NCNC and Azikwe did to the Yorubas and minorities in middle belt and South South, you will never be Liberal in politics in Nigeria.

Ahmadu Bello and Akintola also spoke out about this tyranny.

To understand Nigeria, you must study the first republic. Nigeria did not start in 1967, It started in 1914.
Between 1914 to 1966, it was Igbo power in Nigerian politics because Awolowo was passive and not aggressive.
We paid dearly for it.
