You tried, but made a few blunders.

Profs Olubunmo and Chike Obi became Professors the same day, hence they are both first Profs of Mathematics. I think a certain Prof Bodunde from Ekiti is the first Prof of Philosophy in Africa.

Prof Ojo(Ojo igbole from Ekiti) was the first Prof of Geophysics in Africa.
