Professor Amagh Nduka, Africa's foremost Nuclear physicists
Photo credit: Igbo Basics 2010 at Owerri Nigeria
Prof Amagh Nduka was born in Amankalu, Igbere, in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria.
Professor Nduka made many outstanding contributions to science. Most profound is his theory: The Absolute Theory of Science. This theory subsumes all other theories in science, including his Third Revolution Theory in Science after the order of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein (i.e. first and second revolution respectively). This theory, the absolute theory of science, explains (theoretically and mathematically) nuclear physics, atomic physics, boson physics, nuclear fussion, astrophysics and elementary particle physics – areas of physics which its theorization has since the 1920’s remained static. The theory also provides, for the first time ever, explanations to boson and fermio-boson physics – areas which have eluded physicists since the inception of physical enquiry.
He also created an entirely new mathematics called discrete geometry or quantum mathematics, with which arsenal he made yet another striking contribution by giving a formal theoretical calculation of the mass of the neutrino – one of the most controversial in particle physics.
There is no doubt that Professor A. Nduka gave a very interesting and mind-expanding lecture, and if his theories are applied into physics, it means that many of the things in conventional literature will only be for the trashcan. In other words, a total overhaul of science is mandatory. The import of this is that everybody goes back to school! Another interesting thing (if not unfortunate) is that he is the only authority in the world in what he has done. According to him “What we have done puts Nigeria as number one in science, and I am the only authority in the world in it”. This may seem extravagant, but if you go through some of his recent papers, you would see that there is no mention of any black (not African or American) in all his references, and that validates the point that he is indeed a world-authority in his chosen areas.
It is really not surprising that the works and theories of A. Nduka do not ring much bell today. The reason is simple: the overwhelming economic and political clout of the scientists or their disciples whose work he has disproved. Some of these people are Nobel laureates and are dominant in the world’s scheme of things in science. It will certainly require another generation of physicists or scientists that would grow up to apply his theories. But one thing is clear: his works take science a hundred years ahead. According to him, “We are the pioneers of the future, with the aim of constructing a physical theory appropriate to both macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. The elements of our theory are: the intellect, non-classical mathematics (discrete geometry, partition and dimensionality theorems, 4-operators – all invented by us), and experiment”.
There is indeed no doubt that time, just as it did for scientists before him, will vindicate this great Nigerian scientist. We therefore congratulate him on his many contributions, not just in theoretical physics and applied mathematics, but to science in general.

Igwe Ralph Ekpeh was welcomed with a red carpet event at the residence of Ozomkpu Francis Owoh preceding a convention held by Chief Owoh’s organization, the Enugwu-Ukwu Community Development Union (ECDU)-New York Branch. Igwe Ekpeh has been the Eze of the Enugwu-Ukwu area for the last 9 years, bringing with his leadership a sense of peace and organization to the local community. Though in an elevated position he remains, as described by members of his community humble, kind, and accommodating. The Igwe appointed Ozompku Owoh to his cabinet as an advisior 3 years ago and made him an ambassador for the Enugwu-Ukwu community abroad, so naturally when the Igwe came in to rally the community at the convention with his presence, Chief Owoh threw a grand celebration at his own residence to welcome him for the first time to the greater New York area.
