Philip emegwali is the biggest scam ever....first of all he is not a doctor he has no phd, he was even denied twice of the degree. Second father of computing....what!!!!, where do u put babbage, Lovelace, Napier, even modern computer scientists like torvalds, bjarne stoustrup or knuth...if he was he would have been popular among cs in Nigeria.he wasn't even mentioned throughout my four years in the uni, lastly he never invented the fastest computer. It was a small annual competition not even a Nobel price he won the fastest for an individual but the fastest was not his it.was assembled by a team of cs.....the man is a serial liar If u doubt me check Wikipedia about him you won't see all these his titles he has given himself it only exists on his website emeagwali.com 4 Likes 1 Share |

MrKontrovErsy: I will not mock another tribe but will defend mine, I salute Nigerians who made it to the list. We are naturally not noise makers but am sure we have scientist as well. I will implore those who made the list and still alive to work harder so they can be rewarded with a laurel Nobel prize like Wole Soyinka the only Nigerian to win a Nobel Prize, A product of University of Ibadan and a Lecturer in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife as at the time he won it. 1 Like 1 Share |

musicwriter:Emeagwali's dissertation was reviewed by a panel which comprised of people within the University of Michigan and some external academics. They concluded that Emeagwali's work did not merit a Ph.D. In 1996, he sued the University, alleging racial discrimination. The suit was summarily dismissed. In October 1999, Emeagwali appealed and the Michigan Court of Appeals which comprised of William B. Murphy, Donald E. Holbrook, J., and Hilda R. Gage, concurred with the lower court and dismissed his appeal. Phillip Emeagwali has been described by some websites as one of the most popular of Africans. He is ranked in achievement and popularity with the likes of Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, and Nelson Mandela. Yet, some writers have suggested that these claims are misleading and dubious. Why? Most of these websites crediting Emeagwali with these glowing tributes are owned by him, or his wife. Claims of Emeagwali holding patents to forty-one inventions are splashed on his websites. We searched for these patents at the appropriate places and came up with nothing to corroborate those claims. Where are these patents registered? Who in the scientific community is aware of these inventions? Could it be that the computer on which I am writing this story was invented by my tribesman and I don't know? "I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature. First, I identify an analogous problem in nature and borrow from it. It is smarter to borrow from nature than to reinvent the wheels." What are these five areas of expertise? If the University of Michigan did not award Phillip Emeagwali a Ph.D., then where did he obtain his doctorate degree? In the same interview with Mary Bellis he claims to work with a fifty-five million dollar computer. Where does Emeagwali practice his trade? "Today, I have access to a $55 million super computer while many African scientists do not have access to a personal computer. The greater opportunity enabled me to make important discoveries and inventions" he told Mary Bellis. www.elendureports.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=33 2 Likes |

Karmanaut: I think we've argued this before. And I told you guys on the other thread that black people face discrimination on this sort of things. WHITE PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY'RE THE CUSTODIANS OF KNOWLEDGE. And a black man coming up with this sort of huge invention is embarrassing to them. And don't tell me you don't know American courts still decide on racial lines. White police has shot many innocent black people in the US, but have all been freed as committing no crime. United States is not a FREE state. It's a covert military state. It's a police state!. |

Prof. Sanya Onabamiro was one of the greatest scientists Nigeria ever produced. Around 20 years or so, before the main measures to control Guinea Worm was introduced, Nigeria was recording 600,000 cases of Guinea Worm every year but as at 2010 the number was zero. However, it was Prof. Sanya Onabamiro that did the research that gave us the basis to control the disease. He discovered the agents that carried the Guinea Worm into the water, and he also discovered new species of Guinea Worms which was named by him, the Cyclopos named after him are Tropocyclops Onabamirod, Tropocyclops mellambyi Onabamiro, Tropocyclops wellambyi Onabamiro etc. |

Where is Professor Amagh Nduka? Professor Nduka has made many outstanding contributions to science. Most profound is his theory: The Absolute Theory of Science. This theory subsumes all other theories in science, including his Third Revolution Theory in Science after the order of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein (i.e. first and second revolution respectively). This theory, the absolute theory of science, explains (theoretically and mathematically) nuclear physics, atomic physics, boson physics, nuclear fussion, astrophysics and elementary particle physics – areas of physics which its theorization has since the 1920’s remained static. The theory also provides, for the first time ever, explanations to boson and fermio- boson physics – areas which have eluded physicists since the inception of physical enquiry. He has also created an entirely new mathematics called discrete geometry or quantum mathematics, with which arsenal he made yet another striking contribution by giving a formal theoretical calculation of the mass of the neutrino – one of the most controversial in particle physics.
