Ishilove:

He is indeed very intelligent, but he is a more media hype. He only won it because the people who made a better invention than him, had already won in two other categories (you are not allowed to win in more than two categories).

After claiming he has 'many degrees' it was discovered he has just one Bsc and two Msc. He has successfully touted himself as a Professor, meanwhile he never completed his PhD. He studied for the Phd at the University of Michigan, but he was never granted a degree. The university said that he took too much time to complete his Phd thesis and the quality of work was poor.

He sued them, claiming that they were racist, but he lost the case because the court agreed that the quality of his work was poor and that he had exceeded the time allotted to complete it

It's been discussed several times on Nairaland

Nigerians are hungry for heroes, so they dress a fraud in the robes of a saint. The joke is on them. The world has moved on.

emegwali that have been proved to be a fraud.The guy never got a Ph.D took University of Michigan to court to force them to award him a Ph.D
A friend of mine just graduated from University of Michigan.
Court case and the denial of degree

"Emeagwali studied for a Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan from 1987 through 1991. 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]"

So? Wat has d trash u type above got to do with anything? Is the post about his academic qualification or you hav a problem wit comprehension?

Ben Carson is not an African! He is an american!! I'm talking abt africans.

LastProphet:



ignorance is a terrible disease, i schooled abroad and pls dont say what you just said outside again. Have you heard of the black man called Ben Carson? There are countless others that have excelled academically pls. Anyway the worst thing about the whole thing is even that emiagwali never had any of the achievements he falsely credited to himself by using fake internet campaigns, and he was exposed long since 2009, am surprised anyone will bring back this lie

Skubidude:

Even at that no legit iq test measure up to 190. So i wonder what test he took and at what age?

You're actually wrong in one detail: The Gordon Bell Prize is not the Nobel prize of computing.
The highest honor given to a computer scientist is the Turing Prize.

Which of them do you have Sir? No insults intended so don't take any yet.

The post is a terrible April fool joke referencing a source called "IGBOBIA"


So I can tell he world;According to Igbobia that Philip dude is very smart" Hmm.........and who do I say is IGBOBIA

Igbobia ko Igboga ni

I am not an Igbo man, or Biafra advocate, but before opening, I knew it had to be this man.
The immature ones should forget badmouthing his tribe, he is a Nigerian..... I dislike what this country has become, but this man's name will make you want to be a Nigerian, though he finds it difficult to come back to Nigeria.

Ishi come spoil the guy show

Truth is many times unpleasant

Truth is, most of the people commenting against the man on this thread are yorubas. I've used all the search engines while looking for a reliable news source where Michigan state university came out to describe Emeagwali as fraud, but none. Only Sahara reporters claims the man is fraud, and sahara reporters has severally proven to be an unreliable news source, not with their recent lie that Dino did not graduate from ABU.

The envy is real mehn!

seunmsg:


What's the difference between igbobia.com and gossipmill.com?

Put on your thinking cap for a second, how can these blogs be a credible platform for rating the most intelligent people in the world? If Emeagwali gets to read this thread, he will marvel at the silliness of the OP.

I’d Agree With You But Then We’d Both Be Wrong, it is not authentic cos it's an Igbo man, it would have been if it's Yoruba man.

I feel your pain it natural for one to be jealous, try and celebrate success or achievement when you come across one below is the link if you need to see it yourself you should have know by now that we are

Jealous! You make me laugh. I don't fall into the category of the irrational nairaland tribal cockroaches. I'm more concerned with dissemination of the truth. You want reliable info as it affects such important topic and you hinged your source on ' gossipmill' naija? Man, go get more education!

Damienmarley:

lol. Dude where did you get this information from? According to this story America has an iq of 86?
All iq tests designed in the US is normed using the american population and use a median of 100 not 86. Are you saying that if I took an iq test in america and score, say, 160 that my iq in a country of mean iq of 100 would be way less than 160?

those are the countries with low average IQ rated at the bottom..

Super Computing is a field in a computer science.

I hope one foool here called Lastprophet is seeing this.. eediot!!..

I want him to see this so that his hateful heart will keep on bleeding... IGBO KWENU!!!

Youngadvocate:
Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.

Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer, mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum fields.

He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified IQ of 190 and directly above 10th placed Garry Kasparov who is alleged to have an IQ of 190.

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.

The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The supercomputer spawned the Internet.

Emeagwali’s 1970s hypothesis on 64,000 networked computers around the Earth led to his programming of 64,000 processors inside a big box to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second, a world record in 1989. For the latter achievement, he won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the “Nobel prize of supercomputing.”
