…Says he has over 5,500 published and unpublished works
From OKEY SAMPSON, Aba
Prof Anthony Ugochukwu Aliche from Abia State is like a prophet who is not honoured in his place.
An author with over 150 published works to his credit, he claims to have demystified the mathematical QED as he replaced it with AIMM (Anthonian Infinitude Mathematical Method).
But his recent book, ‘The Natural Dynamics of Imaginative and Creative Technology’ has pitched him against his American publishers as he has dragged the firm to court for refusing to send his own work to his country, Nigeria.
Prof Aliche, African best author, award winner of African Child Laureate for Ingenious Creativity and a great scientist, has made his mark on the sands of time in his chosen field that he believes a space should be reserved for him in the Guinness Book of Records.
His new book
Prof Aliche has a new book that is trending today in the United States of America and other advanced world entitled: ‘The Natural Dynamics of Imaginative and Creative Technology’ which he said was all about creativity, technology and a book that locks one into the foundry technology.
According to him, the book is one that if you study you would be able to know how to go about discovering your own destiny with technology and when once that was done; the country’s economy would be developed.
This, he said, was the essence the publishing company in US translated the book into more than 50 languages of the world.
However, Prof Aliche has some problems, which he puts this way: “The greatest problem I have on hand now is how to communicate with the Asia Tiger countries because you know; they are not good in English. They call you they say, ‘Anthony, great man, good book, technology, leave Nigeria, they don’t know you, come, stay with us’.
“So, these are the things I see and they are making good use of this book and that’s why if you go to Amazon, if you go to Ebay and other networking companies of the world, you see they are celebrating this book and that’s why last year it was chosen as the best book of the year. I am in court with my publishers in the United States because they said this book must not be shipped to Africa and shipped to Nigeria and I asked why when the author is an indigene of Africa. They said we are not readers, we are not researchers, we are not intelligent and I was so lost that one lady who is a core scientist said, ‘If you want to hide anything from a black man, particularly knowledge, put it in the leaves of the books, he will never know how to go about discovering it’ and it is true”.
Why I publish my works outside the country
The author said he started publishing in Nigeria, but later discovered that the global name he made now was not made in the last 10 years he started publishing in Nigeria. For him, in less than two years he started publishing in overseas countries, his name became a household name globally.
“You know, naturally, it’s a philosophy, a Messiah is never accepted in his own homeland. That’s why when a lot of book dealers in Nigeria come to me and ask me to speak to these publishing companies to sell by works to them at author’s price, I have always told them no because I have been publishing here, it was never acknowledged, it didn’t mean anything to them and that was why I decided to go to the people that know the value of knowledge, the value of books, the value of wisdom and the value of what originality is because what I publish are original books”.
The author gave an instance of when he published one of works in the United States, that the news was sent all over the world, that a Nigerian mathematician has demystified the oracle of mathematics, pointing out that while media houses in other parts of the world published it, no Nigerian newspaper did so.
Place in the Guinness Book of Records
The Scientist says he deserves a place in the Guinness Book of Records as he believes that no author in the world has written as much as he had.
“We are talking about 150 published books and more than 5,000 unpublished ones. For instance, this year, we have published 50 to 60 books between January and April. And one of these books is on Alchemy and Transmutation”.
According to the author, although his name has been mentioned in the Guinness Book as a prolific author, he is hoping that before the year runs out, his name would be in the book as the best author in the whole world since in his own words, “an American research institute has already endorsed me, and American Library Congress has equally endorsed me. There is a way this thing is being handled. It goes by looking at the person, following him up, etc. I know before the year goes, I am taking that seat from Guinness Book of Records as the best author in the whole world and after 50 years of my departure from the planet earth, no other person will be there because I know what I am doing”.
Writing inspiration
“It’s in me, so, the issue of how does it come is not there, it’s in me. As the business of drinking beer is in some people, so is the business of writing in me. You know what happens? I don’t even write, I only dictate and my secretaries take the dictation; it comes naturally”.
Court case against publishers in USA
Presently, the author said he has a standing case in court with his publishers in the United States because they refused to ship his recent book, ‘The Natural Dynamics of Imaginative and Creative Technology’ to Nigeria having as their main reason that Nigerians would not have value for the book.
“Therefore, I went to court to make the company know that my book should be brought to Nigeria, Africa where it originated and if the court refuses, I will pursue the matter with what is called variegated journalism and I know that is the area they will not like me to go into because I will write hell out of them. This company has sent this same book to Asia and it has been translated into 50 different languages”.
“A lot of universities have been approaching me, but if I take up university work, I will not be as proficient, as creative and as dynamic as I am because I am not so good in obeying parochial laws. You have a lot of best brains in the university system, but they don’t do anything, they don’t achieve much. I can do very well in physics, engineering and chemistry, but if I take up university job they will regiment me to only physics”.
The man who said he brought the concept and developed “infrastructural levy” in Abia State when Dr Orji Uzor Kalu was the governor to help boost the economy of the state said he would be willing to help his state move forward because he has the ideas, but that he should be consulted.
“It is not my duty to look for Abians, it is the duty of Abians to look for me and that was what happened during the era of Plato and Pythagoras, the Greek government was looking for these geniuses. It is not my duty; I cannot look for them”.
