Alexander Obiefoka Enukora Animalu, he was born on August 28, 1938 in Oba , Anambra State of Nigeria. Professor Emeritus of Physics at University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He holds a B.Sc. (London), M.A. (Cantab.) and Ph.D. (Ibadan), FAS, NNOM, IOM .
The only African scientist to be nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of a generalization of superconductivity called “Animalu’s Isosuperconductivity” (which requires a new mathematics of the Isotopic type), and a pioneer of solar energy in Nigeria, is a physicist of international repute, member of the highest advisory body on Science and Technology to the Nigerian government, Honorary Presidential Advisory Council on Science and Technology (2001–2003) and former Director National Mathematical Centre, Abuja.

The only African member till date of the Advisory Board of the Euro-Journal Physica(B)[2] and the only African member of the Editorial Board of the USA-based international Hadronic Journal and Hadronic Journal Supplement, he is also the founding editor of the Nigerian Journal of Solar Energy and one of the pioneering editors of the Bulletin of the Nigerian Institute of Physics. Foundation President of the Solar Energy Society of Nigeria, foundation editor, Nigerian Journal of Solar Energy, foundation member, United States Energy Research and Development Administration and Foundation member and former President of the Nigerian Academy of Science, Professor Animalu is author of 28 books in both the sciences and the humanities.


He won a College Scholarship that saw him through the University of Cambridge in the UK between October, 1962 and December, 1965 when he obtained the M.A. (Cantab) and Ph.D. (Maths) in Theoretical Solid State Physics. The high quality of his Ph.D. thesis was attested to, when the main results were published in the Philosophical Magazine in 1965 and included in W.A. Harrison's book entitled "Pseudopotentials in the Theory of Metals".[3] The book contained the model potential tables which were in such high demand by researchers in the field of metal physics and semiconductor electronics that the Ph.D. thesis work as published in Philosophical Magazine became by 1983, a citation classic, having been cited more than 729 times between 1965 and 2001.[4] He is the only African in Physics to have earned such a record of citations, his paper being the best among the best twelve cited papers from the University of Cambridge in fifty years (1930–1980). It is of interest to note that four of these twelve most cited works from Cambridge have subsequently won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Between January, 1966 and December, 1967, Prof. Animalu was Research Associate in Division of Applied Physics, Stanford University and between January, 1968 and August, 1968, he was a visiting scientist at the Department of Physics, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In September, 1968, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Missouri, Rolla. His research work was in solid state and elementary particle physics. In 1970, he moved to Drexel University in Pennsylvania, as Associate Professor of Physics. A major breakthrough in his career came in April 1972 when he was appointed a research physicist, at the Lincoln Laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) working under H.J. Zeiger and J.B. Goodenough on research projects related to development of computer core memory and primarily on the development of the transition-metal model potential, thus extending his Ph.D. thesis area to now include all elements of the periodic table. It was within this period that he completed his principal book, Intermediate Quantum Theory of Crystalline Solids published by Prentice-Hall in 1977. It became a world-wide classic with an Indian Edition published by Prentice-Hall of India in 1978. It was also translated into Russian by the Russian Academy of Science in 1981, reprinted in USA in 1994 and is currently on the world-wide web.

His Majesty Eze Professor Chukwuemeka Ike "Ikelionwu XI" of Ndikelionwu in Anambra State was was born on 28 April 1935 at Ndikelionwu in present day Orumba North Local Governments Area of Anambra State of Nigeria. He received primary education at Aro Settlement School, Nnewi (1944). He received secondary education at Governments College, Umuahia in present day Abia State (1945 1950), and his undergraduate education at University College, Ibadan (1951 1955), from where he obtained the BA (London) degree. He obtained the MA degree from Stanford University, USA, in January 1967.

Beginning as Administrative Assistant and rising rapidly to Assistant Registrar in charge of student welfare at University of College, Ibadan (1957 1960). In October 1960, he joined the pioneer staff of University Nigeria, Nsukka, as Deputy Registrar. In March 1963, he became the first Nigeria Registrar of the University, a post he held until 1971.At the end of the Nigeria/Biafra War in January 1970, the Administrator of East Central State appointed him Chairman of the Planning & Management Committee which reopened the war battered university and managed its affairs until the appointment of a regular Governing Council in November 1970. In that capacity, he served as Interim Chief Executive of the University, combining the functions of Chairman of the Governing Council and Vice-Chancellor at a most critical period of reintegration into Nigeria by the University in particular and Ndigbo in general. He pioneered the introduction of GES program in UNN which other Universities copied. This again was something unheard of. In his words "You went to the university to study physics or chemistry but you are made to have background in social sciences. We tried to explain that these are the things you require in common with other students to be able to survive in the Nigerian society. What helped us was that about the end of three year period , the Nigerian government introduced a public service examination for entry into the public service. Our students that went for the examination came top. In Britain they just say first class. But in Nsukka, it is spelt out. The truth is that there are a number of things that Nsukka started that are still there"


Professor Chukwuemeka Ike, was the first Nigerian Registrar of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), which he joined in the '70s while in WAEC, he broke a record as the first Registrar of WAEC to sign the WAEC certificates. Before him, it was the chairman of the Council that was signing the certificates. It was during his tenure (1971 1979) that WAEC cut its umbilical cord with the Universities of Cambridge and London, the Royal Society of Arts, and City & Guilds of London Institute, becoming a truly independent Council whose certificates received national and international recognition and whose services and counsel were sought by examining councils in the developing Commonwealth.

Professor Ike, at various times, served as Chairman, Commonwealth Planning committee on public Examinations, Accra, Ghana (1973), Chairman, 4th International Conference on Educational Assessment, Baden, Austria (1978), Chairman, Culture Sector, and Member, Nigerian Delegation and Chief Spokesmen for Culture, General Conference of UNESCO, Paris, France (1989 and 1991), Chairman, National Anti-Piracy Committee (1991 1994), Member, Nigerian Copyright Council now Commission (1989 1994), Chairman, Seminar on Book Development & Reading in the ECOWAS Sub-Region, Ibadan ( January 1990), Member, Anambra State Elders Forum/Advisory Council since January 2008.Professor Ike has served as Director, Daily Time of Nigeria Plc (1971 1987), Short-term Consultant to the Bostswana, Lesotho and Swaziland Schools Examinations Council, Under the auspices of the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation (October 1974), Director, University Press Plc (1978 2002). Other public service appointments held by Professor Ike include Pro-Chancellor & Chairman of Governing Council, University of Benin (1990 1991), and Pioneer Pro-Chancellor & Chairman of Council, Anambra State University (2001 2005).

Chief Eleazar Chukwuemeka (Emeka) Anyaoku was born in Obosi, Anambra State. He became the third Secretary-General of the Commonwealth in 1990, a post he held until 2000. He is a Nigerian national, educated at University College, Ibadan, where he studied classics, graduating with a London University honours degree. Before becoming Commonwealth Secretary General, Chief Anyaoku worked with the Commonwealth Development Corporation from 1959 to 1962, in the Nigerian Diplomatic Service from 1962 to 1966 including three years as a member of Nigeria's Permanent delegation to the United Nations in New York, and from 1966 to 1989 in the Commonwealth Secretariat, London, where he had been elected Deputy Secretary-general in 1978. In 1983 he served briefly as Nigeria’s Foreign Minister before the military coup d'etat in the country at the end of that year.

Emeka Anyaoku's career spans 30 years of Commonwealth initiatives and negotiations. He has been actively involved in such thorny issues as the Gibraltar referendum of 1967, the Nigerian civil war of 1967-70, the St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla constitutional crisis of 1969-70, the problems following Commonwealth Games boycotts during the 1980s and the process leading to peace and democracy in Zimbabwe, Namibia and, in particular, South Africa. He was also closely involved in the establishment in New York of a joint office for small Commonwealth countries who are thus enabled to be represented at the United Nations. In early 1997, he organised the first African Commonwealth Heads of Government Roundtable to promote democracy and good governance on the continent.

Chief Anyaoku has been dubbed “a diplomat’s diplomat” for his long involvement in diplomatic and international service, including some 35 years of Commonwealth initiatives and negotiations across the 54-nation wide body. In 1998 he received the freedom of the city of London, the highest honour the ancient capital of Britain can bestow. The former secretary general had a $1.8 million chair in Commonwealth studies named after him at the University of London. He was decorated by Queen Elizabeth as an Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCBVO).

Aside from his international career, Chief Anyaoku continues to fulfill the duties of his office as Ichie Adazie of Obosi, a traditional Ndichie chieftainship. In 1990, the heads of all 19 communities of the Idemili Clan in his home state of Anambra accorded Anyaoku a unique honour by investing him with the title of Ugwumba Idemili. His wife, Bunmi, is also a chieftess - Ugoma Obosi and Idemili - in her own right, with a long involvement in welfare work in Nigeria and throughout the Commonwealth.

The Ichie Anyaoku has been married to Princess Bunmi Anyaoku since 1962. Mrs. Anyaoku is an Omoba of Abeokuta, Nigeria. Of their marriage, it was written in the Nigerian Sunday Times, then the widest circulating newspaper in the country, that "it was a wedding of one of Nigeria's most eligible bachelors and a beautiful young Princess educated in an English boarding school and Pitman College, London."
They have four children, Adiba; their daughter, and three sons; Oluyemisi, Obiechina, and Emenike. Emeka has two grandchildren, born to Adiba and her husband; Irenne Ighodaro and Osita Ighodaro.
