I share Salaus dismay. Im not given to reading blogs otherwise I would have enlightened you. Western mathematics is actually the Johnny lately come when it comes to mathematics and not African mathemayics.
Also with all that has transpired on this listserv on Black Ifa mathematics I dont think you should have written what you wrote about the absence of Black African mathematics.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series -
Sometime ago, on the 19th day of June, 2019, I shared a blog update of
mine on the unfortunate absence of indigenous African traditions of
mathematical thinking in some publications in the West. I made no
pretence about being a mathematician; just a person interested in the
narration of the production of knowledge in our galaxy. You would
agree with me that USAAfricaDialogue is an important classroom for
many of us -- both in the form of peer education and learning from our
seniors/superiors. So, I was not to surprised when I received a
private email from Abdul Salau on my blog article. I read his mail and
shook my head, but I considered it an important contribution from
which I should learn. To make his contribution reach others for their
views, I replied and told him to post his response on the listserv
within seven days or I would help him to do so.
After seven days now, he is yet to post his response to
USAAfricaDialogue. So, I am helping Abdul Salau, in case he has
forgotten. Please, see his reaction below and the link to my article
on mathematics. Help us to continue thinking. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Obododimma.

Prof. Oha:
Ancient Egyptians are Africans I spent my entire academic energies
exploring the relationships of Ancient Egyptian language with Hausa,
Igbo, and Yoruba languages. I chose to write you privately because
the views you are expressing are extremely embrassing.
"The only articulation of knowledge from Africa, even to be drowned in
controversies, is Ancient Egypt. And you may be warned that you are
not speaking of Africa, if you are speaking of Ancient Egypt."
Right on the forum you can write Prof. Gloria Emegwali who can give
you many references on African mathematics as you need. It is so sad
in the age of information a scholar of your stature is misinformed
on the complex subject matter on the basis of an antiquated book .
Professor Shola Olorunyomi at UI can give you information on the
subject matter. I will humbly request a retraction of your view when
you get new information.-new article on the subject matter. I greet
you in the language of Ancient Egyptian ancestors Ankh, Wdja, and
Seneb. Wishing you life, health,and prosperity.
Abdul Salau
