Pure LIE! Philip Emeagwali left Nigeria for USA at the age of 15.
The only tests that measure up to 190(mental age tests) are taken at the maximum age of 12.
No legit standardized adult iq tests measure above 162( SD=15).
Funny enough the dude never took an iq test. His Iq of 190 has always been "alleged to be".

Nigerians love to associate themselves with success.

He is Nigerian born with great educational achievements from mostly the united states.

He has lived most of his life in the US.

Almost all of his university education was in the US.

We will be feeling happy about his achievements, feeling like giants but we no go fix our own educational system.

Continue!!!

This is not a case of tribalistic sentiments.. Nigerians are gifted with the innovative ability to solve everyday problems.. The ingenuity of the present generation if tapped accordingly can and will be used to project us to the highest point of human achievement.. If the yahoo boy is given opportunity to positively create business online we would go far.. Most of these boys have little or no education but they can manipulate the web in so many ways. The street mechanic can by mere listening to your car engine diagnose the problems it has.. The market women at Oshodi do businesses that hold up the economy.. The average kid when I was growing up made toys out of tin foils and cartons and most of them use batteries and locomotive contraptions.. The examples are endless..

Here we go again with the equalisation of IQ test as a measure of intelligence. People with high IQ’s can score poor on an IQ test, for any number of reasons. My brother scored poorly on his first test, because he didn’t cooperate with the psychologist who administered it — he was five and that kind of behavior is not uncommon at that age. Fortunately, my parents had the wherewithal to have him tested by a private psychologist who went to the trouble of winning his trust, and that time, he maxed out the test. I always keep that in mind as a reminder that we should be cautious in interpreting IQ scores here. And an Aspie friend here was considered slow for many years, because he has a language disability — but as a teenager, he scored above 130, in the gifted range, and is no doubt smarter because his language difficulties still interfere with his ability to take the test. There are lots more reasons why a smart kid could get a poor score — vision problems, dyslexia, ADHD, trauma at home, even lack of sleep.
In view of this, this can never be used as a merit to determine intelligence. This holds ever more true when you consider the test cognitively (historically) favours people with science background.

His thesis was not accepted by a committee of internal and external examiners and thus he was not awarded the degree. Emeagwali filed a court challenge, stating that the decision was a violation of his civil rights and that the university had discriminated against him in several ways because of his race. The court challenge was dismissed, as was an appeal to the Michigan state Court of Appeals.[8]"

Tribalism and hatred won't allow you to reason. He was a victim of racism. The whites hate seeing africans being described as more intelligent. Go to american tertiary institutions and see for yourself that nigerians are the most intelligent but the whites would rather steal their work and give to their fellow whites than to recognise african brilliance.
Emegwali's achievements pains white america till date and they are looking for a way to strip off his accolades.
Ever wondered why a nigerian student will finish with a 3rd class here only to relocate to the u.s for a second degree and come out with a first class?

This guy has been going up and down calling himself the father of the internet, I wonder who gave him that title.
