Sola Odumosu

Father of Celebrology 

Unarguably one of the world founding fathers of knowledge of all time, Sola Odumosu is the Nigerian-born intellectual genius who created Celebrology (the scientific study of honour) in response to the perplexing crises that confront our world in the 21st century with the motive to promote respect for human dignity.

He sets the world record as the first black man in the world who creates a global academic field of knowledge based on his original thinking, first as an intellectual father, and second as one of the leading theorists in the world, having propounded several theories within the intellectual enclave of Celebrology. He takes on the title "Enganimn", a word coined from Yoruba words eni ga ni imo which literally means the one who is great in knowledge to refer to himself. The Father of Celebrology argues that all the founding fathers of knowledge including great theorists of all time deserve to be called Enganimn for their enduring intellectual feats. He remains the first and only thinking phenomenon in the world to assume the title, "Enganimn".

Sola Odumosu has personally, through decades of hardest, persistent toiling of intellectual creativity, championed Celebrology in the contemporary time, ranking in status with the world founding fathers of knowledge, perhaps the first to come out of Africa and among the black race. Sola Odumosu hails from Ijebu, a tribe in Yorubaland and he is fondly called " the Intellectual Genius of the Tribe of Ijebu" by the Ijebus and non-Ijebus who strongly admire him for his creative ingenuity, being among the knowledge discoverers of all time. Odumosu's intellectual feat ranks among the world's best brains, championing a thinking revolution that is exerting profound influence on our world.

Having coined Celebrology as the scientific study of honour, Sola Odumosu devises transfigurism as a tool to demystify honour in human dignity, transfigurising Celebrology into an intellectual search for human dignity. Sola Odumosu creates the two schools of thought of Celebrology known as templatism and apexiom 

The Two Schools of Thought of Celebrology

(1). Templatism explores honour on the basis of human dignity, that no honour can be achieved anywhere without respecting human dignity. A templatist focuses on the dignity of character as the means to attain honour in the society.

(2) Apexiom perceives honour as a thing of position worths craving for, that no honour can be achieved anywhere without position. An upholder of this view is called apexiomer.

According to the Father of Celebrology, celebrological rationality enjoys such intellectual confrontation between the apexiomer and templatist.

Sola Odumosu establishes six branches of study of Celebrology which are:

Konolarics, Akomorapion, Immortalism, Keroepaporh, Celebration and Conferrism. Sola Odumosu conceives these areas of study of Celebrology in the transfiguric evaluation of human dignity as expression for honour.

(i) Konolarics studies heroism. Diving into the templatic rationality, Sola Odumosu questions, is dignity of character the necessity to become a hero, and on the apexiomic rationality, he asks, should one crave for position and then sustain it by dignity of character? This has become a question of controversy between the Templatist and Apexiomer in our world.

Sola Odumosu has coined konolarics from the Yoruba words ko ina l’arin which literally means stir up the fire to burn the iron. It is further explained as brave accomplishment in the midst of serious difficulties. Inspired by a blacksmith’s uneasy state of hammering a metallic substance beside the furnace into his desired shape, konolarics opens vista of celebrological rationality on the subject matter of heroism. In the konolarics' explorative tendency, heroes shape our world.

(ii) Akomorapion also known as Majimrarey (which was coined from Yoruba in Ijebu dialectal diction ma ji n m rare which means do not let me suffer) was coined from Yoruba ako mora po which literally means stretch hands wider to embrace deals in the welfare and humanitarian cause of mankind. Here, Sola Odumosu raises issues on philanthropy and many humanitarian cases in nations.

(iii) Immortalism explores means and ways people have been honoured by naming things after themselves and others. Overwhelmed with puzzlement, he questions, what kind of people should we honour by immortalizing? Are they people who live with dignity and sincerely respect human dignity? Sola Odumosu coined immortalism from the Latin word immortalis which literally means deathless or undying. Immortalism is conceptualized in the undying memory of a being, that is, that which can not be removed from memory about a human personality.

(iv) Keroepaporh dives into the thoughts of many known global figures by looking into their ideological perceptions of dignity, using their lives as case study including the society and circumstances they find themselves. In Sola Odumosu’s view, he questions: What was George Washington idea of nationalism and patriotism like in the USA? Can we relate this to that of Nelson Mandela in South Africa? Did Obafemi Awolowo have the same view in Nigeria? How had their lives of dignity shaped leadership in their respective nations in their time? Sola Odumosu has coined keroepaporh from Yoruba words ki ero papo, which literally means that the thought may be the same.

(v) Celebration was absorbed into Celebrology by Sola Odumosu in the 21st century following the Nigerian 50th Independence Day terrorist bomblast in Abuja, and global challenges confronting celebration itself in what he labels “trivices” ( the three evils confronting celebration which are: violence, opportunism and exploitation) He advocates that celebration in its entirety is celebrological and should originate from the genuine template of human dignity. He propounded the celebration theory. Perhaps where Sola Odumosu has displaced the real work of an intellectual genius, he redefines celebration, correcting the lexicographic shallowness, and resubjecting his new definition to intellectual probe, thus setting pace for the exact celebrological rationality on which theoretical validity thrives. Sola Odumosu’s postulation has made him the leading thinker on celebration in the world.

(iv) Conferrism studies means and manners recognition is given to people in honouring their efforts. Sola Odumosu engages in the use of the suffix -ism to make his intellectual voyage thus coining coferrism. National and all sorts of International honours, including awards, titles etc are studied in conferrism as a branch of study of Celebrology.

Using his wild rationality of Celebrology, Sola Odumosu dignifies his thinking revolution to promote initiatives, elevates noble causes, thus fraternising with global universities, government, diplomatic bodies in shaping policies to exalt the virtues of dignity in attainment of honour everywhere, exerting profound influence on our world, making it a better place.. Rated as one of the best brains in the world in the 21st century to come out of Africa,
