OYIBO'S GAGUT DOCUMENTARY REVEALS QUEST FOR FURTHER ELUCIDATION OF THEOREM

BY ADEMOLA BELLO 

 

For three hours the documentary movie of Professor Gabriel Audu Oyibo offer us insights into Africa's richness, history, and science through his own intricate method called God Almighty Grand Unified Theorem, GAGUT, or the theory of everything

 

This was the theory that Albert Einstein searched for unsuccessfully most of his life but which Oyibo discovered and considered to be the Holy Grail of Physics and Mathematics which proffer solutions to mankind problems and incurable diseases such as Aids and Cancer.

The screening of Oyibo's documentary titled "GAGUT THEORY: A JOURNEY INTO THE AFRICAN SCIENCE OF THE UNIVERSE" opened for selected public viewing several weeks ago at a Studio House in Brookyln, New York managed by Mr. Clemson Brown the producer of the documentary. Mr.Brown was assisted with the documentary by Mark Dunston, as the video editor.

The documentary began with a mesmerizing opening with the drum beats and songs of the legendary drummer Babatunde Olatunji. Mr. Brown who is also the narrator of the movie fascinates us with the historical narratives of Africa and Nigeria. We follow Gabriel Oyibo's emotional and meditative journey as he landed at the Airport and how he was greeted by the ecstatic overwhelming crowd.

The overstretched celebration took him into Kogi's State governor's office where his academic contributions to global community were cited and the Attah of Igala's Kingdom Palace where he was bestowed with Chieftaincy title.

The euphoria that heralded his arrival could be compared to the one a U.S Army Medic who was recognized after many years for his incredible bravery during the war got in a 2000 Fox Family channel documentary titled "Courage" that was narrated by the veteran Hollywood actor Danny Glover. But the main focus of that documentary was courage, heroism, and triumph. This Oyibo's documentary however aims at telling us about GAGUT's relevance but the obstruction of his mission with irrelevant Catch-22 incidents created in the minds of a curious observer an impression of a mere political jamboree.

The primary source of information we first digested about GAGUT’S theory came from Oyibo's himself when he talked to us through the waterfall background image that stifled the audible sound of his speech. There was a brief appearance of vetrean Professors Iya Abubakar and Alex Animalu both doctorate holders from Cambridge University as we are told and authority that was very much cited by Oyibo as having validated his theory. When he was asked a question on why he believed that Oyibo's theory is genuine.

The only explanation Iya Abubakar gave was an assumption that belittles any great scholar. "I've looked at it, since American Mathematical Society says it's correct. Yes, I believe it's correct."

Nevertheless, the most intriguing aspect of the documentary was in a close circuit hall at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria where something unfolded through ticking moments. Professor Oyibo devoted his articulation and brilliant mind to answer questions and to proof mathematically his theory. The spell-binding effect of that documentary came from Professor Singh the Head of Mathematics Department at Ahmadu Bello University; The Indian born don makes the perfunctory room to be more interactive and engaging. Professor Singh says there is no Mathematical equation now or in the near future that can actually represent the Almighty God who is absolutely infinite. He says, "Once you talk Mathematical equation the only thing is proof.

All this probability equation cannot be proved of absolute God. God cannot be infinite, one or two. God cannot be treated mathematically.

But Professor Oyibo responded by proving that GAGUT answers the most fundamental question for humanity which is: What is God or what is the Universe? GAGUT answers that question by saying that God represented by GIJ is an entity that remains unchangeable which can mathematically be written as GIJ, J=0 where the comma in the equation represents change. An entity that doesn't change is absolutely infinitely large space that is full of motion and so the GIJ, J=0 is valid at every point in the absolute large space.

He also says that GAGUT also unified the three known accounts of creation which are the Holy Books, which says that the Universe came out of the Word of God, the Science which says that the Universe came out of the Big Bang, and the Ancient Africans who showed that the Universe came out of the roaring water waves of Nun out of which came out the building block called Atum, which was later mispronounced as Atom, and was further mispronounced as Adam. GAGUT unified those three accounts by demonstrating mathematically that the word of God is the Big Bang and sounded like the roaring water waves of Nun.

The hallmark of any great academic institutions is the spirit of truth and freedom. Professor Oyibo should negotiate a deal with a local publisher that would make his book available at a cheaper rate so that Nigerian academics and students would be acquianted with his work and verified whether it was real or mere conjectures instead of absorbing dogmatic belief as we have seen through the documentary of notable scholars cited as believing in the theory including Jibril Aminu.

Dr. Gabriel Audu Oyibo's career has been a singular journey; he earned his Ph. D in Aeronautics and Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is situated in Troy New York where he worked for four years on NASA, Afosr sponsored research. He is currently a full time Professor of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences at the OFAPPIT Institute of Technology, Dix Hills New York, of which he is a founder and at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Though, Professor Oyibo is very innovative with his ambitious project but he is yet to demonstrate to us convincingly as we have seen in the documentary that his controversial GAGUT theorem is a valuable or practical tool for solving the world's problems.
