Let me ask the Comrade who issued the press statement since I could not find anything outside Nigerian newspapers on the "First African solo pilot to fly round the world".

Do you mind listing those great kings under his kingdom? I thought you would have said he has many great kings with their own kingdoms (comprising cities, towns & villages) under his EMPIRE. See the difference?
You had the British Empire, right?

The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, legal, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe the British Empire, because its expanse around the globe meant that the sun was always shining on at least one of its territories.

More from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire





There was also the Empire of Japan.

The Empire of Japan (大日本帝國 Dai Nippon Teikoku?, literally "Greater Japanese Empire"wink[8] was the historical Japanese nation-state[nb 2] that existed from the Meiji Restoration in 1868 to the enactment of the 1947 constitution of modern Japan.[1]

Imperial Japan's rapid industrialization and militarization under the slogan Fukoku Kyōhei (富國強兵?, "Enrich the Country, Strengthen the Armed forces"wink led to its emergence as a world power and the establishment of a colonial empire. Economic and political turmoil in the 1920s led to the rise of militarism, eventually culminating in Japan's membership in the Axis alliance and the conquest of a large part of the Asia-Pacific region. At the height of its power in 1942, the Empire ruled over a land area spanning 7,400,000 square kilometres (2,857,000 sq mi), making it one of the largest maritime empires in history.[11]

I am sure that you will agree that the Comrade and his Ooni are simply making a big FOOL of themselves and other Ife/Yoruba people by referring to the King as an Empire or His Imperial Majesty as he clearly does not measure up to such title in any global standard way.
Anyway that is why he is opening his 32 anyhow in a foreign land when the President of the USA would ever abandon his "empire" functions to be gallivanting in Ooni's Ife Empire for many weeks. Not so
When shall we BLACK people stop making a RIDICULOUS fool of ourselves?

Father of internet?
Are you still on this scam

Bosahchude:
Philip Emeagwali – Genius or Crook?
There’s been much news going on about the so called great Nigerian scientist “Philip Emeagwali” but unfortunately, most of them are untrue. Emeagwali has been virtually worshipped buy Nigerians and others around the world based on false information which has led to his face appearing on a postage stamp and him being voted the 35th greatest African of all time by the “New Africa Magazine”.

This thread is aimed correcting most of these untrue claims by Emeagwali.

Philip Emeagwali not Dr. Philip Emeagwali

Firstly, Emeagwali has been wrongfully quoted by newspapers and even on his site as being a “Dr.” But this is an actual fallacy because he does not have a PhD, though he enrolled for a PhD program at the University of Michigan he did not get the degree because he failed the qualification examination twice but still he seems parades himself around as a “Dr.”.

Emeagwali did not win the Nobel Prize
Emeagwali has not in any way won the Nobel Prize nor its equivalent as reported by many and on his self promoting website, the only prize ever won by Emeagwali is the Gordon bell prize in 1989 worth $1,000 which he and his Mobil team won for their application of the Connection Machine – 2 supercomputer in oil-reservoir modelling.

Emeagwali did not built the fastest computer of 1989
The fastest computer of 1986 is the FSU which ran at 10.3GFLOPS while the connection machine which Emeagwali wrote a program to on for which he and his team won the Gordon Bell prize in prize/performance ratio, ran at 3.1GFLOPS, this machine was designed by Danny Hills and built by Thinking Machines Corporation and not by Philip Emeagwali as he wrongfully claims on his website and in press interviews.

Emeagwali is not the father of the internet.
Emeagwali claims that he rearranged the 65,536 processors of the Connection Machine so that they were arranged in a 3-dimentional Hypercube network and that his invention was the technology that spawned the internet. This is again another false claim by Philip Emeagwali because the connection machine was originally designed with a Hypercube Network and it was long known arrangement. Also, there is nothing liking Emeagwali with ARPA, DOD or any other research organization that was connected with the birth of the internet.

Emeagwali does not have any patents or inventions.

Emeagwali has been credited with so many inventions, most of them hilarious and he also claims to have as much as 30 patents and 50 patent applications but a search on USPTO which has an online database of patents since 1976 shows the true number to be zero. The only time Emeagwali’s name has appeared in any scientific journal of any kind is when he and his Mobil team won the Gordon Bell Prize in 1989.

There are many more baseless rumours flying around Nigeria which are completely baseless, dumb and humorous but are surprisingly widely believed. I’ll try to list some of them here. They are:

Emeagwali created windows but Bill Gates Stole his invention.
There is an “Emeagwali street” somewhere in the US.
Emeagwali is the most booked man for an appointment in the World.
Emeagwali is currently creating a teleportation machine.
Emeagwali wrote an equation to show how sperm swims in semen.
Emeagwali is the brain behind Microsoft.
www.emeagwali.com is the oldest website on the internet.


We Nigerians have to stop kidding ourselves over a self pompous and highly over exaggerated man who has accomplished close to nothing but writes a website about himself and fills it up with lies. While the armature media we have in this country swallows everything they hear without scrutiny.
