Africans In China

While I was surfing the internet searching articles about China Africa cooperation, trade and investment and the comments about the recent African Union summit, i ran across an article claiming that an other black guy, and this time a Nigerian doctor: Nelson, Louis Obyo Obyo have made history by inventing a cure for diabetes.  I didn’t believe it even though I posted it on www.AfricansInChina.com.

I wrote to him asking  him to confirm if it is really true and this is the answer I got .

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your mail. It is not surprising that there are those would doubt my claims. History is full of them. Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), an Italian, one of the world’s greatest navigators, took glory to Spain and irreversibly changed the course of history. Europe at the time could not believe that the world was round as opposed to the then existing belief that it was flat. The King and Queen of Spain were ready to give history a chance in their support for Columbus to sail West in order to reach India in the East.
Galilei Galileo (1564-1642), an Italian mathematician, astronomer, and physicist, considered a founder of experimental methods was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for saying that the planets revolve around the sun. The belief then was that the earth is the center of the universe.
Albert Einstein (1878-1955), mathematician and physicist was born in Germany. He published his theories of relativity, equivalence of mass and energy, brownian motion and photon theory of light in 1905. Verification was only possible in 1919. He ran to the United Sated of America, where he developed the atomic bomb and saved the world.
With time we will know if my claim is correct. Let them doubt.
Obyo Nelson

Note: It was a private email but I think it’s worth to share.
Hope Doctor will forgive me for that.
