I need to find out from the expert here could the the noun follow "either of", "neither of" to be in singular or plural, or it has to be in plural and why.

e.g Neither of the boy or boys?

Or Neither of the boy is smart or Neither of the boys are smart?

Neither of the boys is smart is grammatically correct, Steve.
