DJCN, You echoed my earlier opinion which is still what i think. Thank you very much for the research. It is funny that Ex still read this and instead of accepting the truth as you put it without bias, he prefered to do exactly what human nature does. Ex, Good luck, but then you cannot remove from his achievement. Your achievement can only dwarf his own and we are waiting for you to do as much or just keep quiet. You said you want to pull him down, haha Flyuche, he did not share his prize with anyone. I think even the link you guys posted showed him standing alone in his column. Anya ufu di baad |

See a good example of how Nigerians treat one of there own. A prophet is never recognised in his own country they say. Unfortunately, despite the wide coverage given this achievement of the Balogun-Oke by the UK media, no Nigerian organisation or media, or even our Nigeria High Commission, has deemed it fit to recognise and congratulate herhttp://www.nigeriansinamerica.com/articles/2860/1/The-Story-of-Julianah-Balogun-Oke-A-Champion-Mother/Page1.html |

Why shld this thing be a big issue. Afterall there are a whole lot of companies and individuals - even some of u [IT especially]- out there that blow their trumpets beyond their capabilities, achievements and what have u. And we are all here, get busy crucifying another sinful man while we have ours - even if he sins at all. Abeg let he without sin cast the first stone - courtesy Jesus U guys shld even realise that records cannot prove everything. A lot of things happen behind records - u'll understand if u've heard of such events and watched such films - e.g Prison Break |

The reason all this rumours lasted this long is because they started when the internet was new to Nigerians. Virtually everyone has access to the internet now so one idiot can't stop propagating nonsense about himself. I remember back then when nigerians used to make noise all over the place about the so called nigerian that built the fastest computer in the world, yada yada yada. GOOGLE/WIKIPEDIA is ur best friend. 1 Like |

To be perfectly honest Philip Emeagwali is a Crook, The Gordon Bell prize is not the nobel prize of computing, The claims that he created the fastest computer in 1989 are false he won the prize for the "price/performance" category however even in this category he only came second, he came second to the team that build the fastest computer they decided not to award both prizes to the same team so they gave the "price/performance" prize to Emeagwali. The reason CNN and the BBC post all this utter rubbish about him is simple because there are very few leading black Scientists around the world and I figure this is a chance to inspire the hundereds of millions of africans into believing they can be the next Emeagwali. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why do people research to bring other peoples achievement down? Am a Programmer and a computer scientist and i know how difficult its to make one line of code work well, if not ask the owners of niaraland how they struggle to maintain this forum. Why not praise and support Philip for his achievements even though there lapses some where. Many fools here commenting rubbish dont even have anything to write home about. |

We all know that it will take a genius to make his feet in another land. Having won Some prizes and contributed immensely in Computer evolution, I believe he deserves a credit. As for the "Dr." He could have been denied of the honor, isn't that what prompted him to sue the university in the court. All I know is that Emegwali is one of the greatest tutor, lecturer, motivate, poet, scientist, mathematician and programmer of all times. I believe behind any fallacy, rumor or acclaimancy, their could be an indented truth. Please that man is my hero and model. 1 Like 1 Share |

Whoever that made this useless write up against Philip Emegwali is a confusionist and a very unlearned and annoying fellow, pls remember that wikipedia is not a place where people make suggestions but still the wikipedia said he invented the super computer, for the PHD you talked of the university did not award him that certificate after he finished from the school 2yrs afterward, he surted the university saying that they are been practicing racism and is against his human right and michigan supreme court cancelled the case they didn't tell us that he failed any common entrance examination, and we don't have to believe you or have you convience us because Bill Clinton said it during his tenure as president in a speech " this is a product of what Nigerian can do or even become when given the opprtunity". Pls whoever you are you are very annoying and an enemy of progress stop this nonesense and stop decieve people, nairaland if you need a need information the google is there and try to check the wikipedia and leave the junk or drunk. |
