Sophie Oluwole
She is an emeritus professor of African Philosophy and a world-leading expert in African history and cultural studies. Born in Igbara-oke, Ondo State, in 1936, Oluwole who is the first female doctorate degree holder in philosophy in Nigeria, has teachings and works that are generally attributed to the Yoruba school of philosophical thought, which believes that Yoruba (an ethnic group in Nigeria) tradition is more philosophical than the ones the whites had.
“I proved to them that Africans are more reasonable, more scientific, and it’s even on record. Yoruba Philosophy is better than Western Philosophy. Yoruba Science is better than theirs,” she said in a recent interview.
Now a qualified professor, the 82-year-old taught African Philosophy at UNILAG for six years between 2002 and 2008.
