Please im Igbo stop spewing trash. The internet was founded during the 2nd world war strictly for military communications in the US. Emeagwali wssnt even born. It's true he may have contributed significantly to I.T in the 90s buy definitely not founding the internet. Pls u guys shd get ur facts right so others don't laugh at us. 3 Likes |

libertyhope2017: Yes, Emeagwali made super computing possible. Things like the cloud computing we talk about today won't have been possible without his invention. Without Emeagwali's invention internet speed would have been slower across the world. Without his super computing you can't have 4G phones or 4G networks to begin with, because you can't have host computers or servers fast enough to power such technology. It's not as if it's not known, but the system makes sure such a person don't come to limelight as he could be an inspiration opening up the minds of Africans about science. If he was a writer or may be an actor he would have been promoted to high heaven to make it appear that's what a black hero ought to be. You begin to wonder what African governments are doing. Such a person should get all the promotion he could get to help inspire Africans. No one else can do it for us. One of the last thing pinning black people down is this lack of understanding of science and that someone could be a science hero. I will encourage you to go through the 2 links below to read what he himself wrote about the subjugation of black achievements throughout history. If you read it you will understand the problem we face as black people and why they dont want him known. The subjugation of black achiements- By Philip Emeagwali http://emeagwali.com/speeches/black-history-month/african-history-lost-stolen-or-strayed.html What he wrote above is similar to what I wrote here. See the lost history. Why black history was stolen. http://www.africason.com/2016/01/the-lost-history-why-was-black-history.html 1 Like 1 Share |

Dr Phil Emeagwali Is A Great Man, But When Did Greatness Become The Sole Right Of One Section Or Tribe. The Doctor Belongs To The Black Race And We Should All Be Proud And Inspired. He Became What He Is By Dilligence And Dedication, And Not Cause He Was Born Into One Tribe Or The Other. Tribalism Makes You Look Stupid! |

barapistis: handsomebanana: Well, the internet is the largest source of information, especially in times like this. I'll point you to a few resources where you can verify what I'll be posting below. You'll find older winners of the Gordon bells Prize award on this page: http://www.sc2000.org/bell/pastawrd.htm. Do you know when he won the award? In 1989!!! Yeah, almost 30 years ago!!! Do you know why he won the award I'll post an excerpt, as well as a link you can follow up for more info below: "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.” http://emeagwali.com/biography/ Another excerpt from the website of chief proponents of the lie that he (Emeagwali) didn't win the prize, or won it fraudlently: "Mr. Karp told Saharareporters that Mr. Emeagwali didn’t win “by default,” and conceded that “as a lone graduate student he solved a harder problem that could have taken a team to solve,” " [url]http://saharareporters.com/2010/10/26/alan-karp-1989-gordon-bell-prize-judge-debunks-emeagwali%E2%80%99s-father-internet-claims[/url] You thought the Op was lying?? Well this is the info from an American University's Archive: http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/computer-science/emeagwali_philip.html And for those who still don't understand why he won the Gordon Bell Prize award, in lay man's terms, he programmed 64,000 individual CPUs to work together to perform calculations. That was a world record in that time. How does that translate to today's internet structure? Well, that is the basis for how the internet is organized today, replace those CPUs with your laptop, web server, mobile phone, e.t.c, e.t.c. N.B: I didn't want to respond to those that quoted me because this is really old info, and I don't like having to prove what I am certain is true to people when it doesn't benefit me in any way, and especially when Google still exists. I won't be responding to further questions regarding this topic. Banters and thumbs up?? Maybe. |

bot101: I need to make some corrections to your post, so you don't go around peddling rumours as a fact. 1. The basic foundation of the internet relies on the simple TCP/IP connection. There are other layers on top but this is the most important one. Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn. It was developed between 1978 - 1983. I would not be able to make a post on nairaland without a TCP connection. They alone deserve the title of the 'Fathers of the Internet". 2. Philip did work on Supercomputing, not the internet. Yes you claim he connected 65000 cpus together. I ask you a question, what exactly did he use in conecting them together. If he discovered a novel way to do it, then I'm all ears, tell me, or he used someone's method. 3. The Gordon Bell award is not the 'Nobel prize of Supercomputing' neither is it it's equivalent. Rather, the Turing award would suffice. The creator of the World Wide Web is the man who won the 2016 Turing award. 4. How does creating a Supercomputing project make one assume the title of 'Father of Internet'. They are not in any way related. And yes, we need black men at the top as well in Science and Technology, but we are not that desperate that we would accept a con man in that position. Your links cite nothing about his contribution to the internet, but rather, his research on Supercomputing, which only buttresses my point. 1 Like |

If this man made his groundbreaking findings (whatever they were) somewhere in Lagos or Nsukka, am sure we'd be the African Beijing by now. My point? The idea of a black African making such scientific discovery is awesome, yes. But there's a whole 'nother level of consequences when its happening in the PhD research lab of a foreign university, with their own R & D superstructure ready to absorb any such achievement and spin it into something marketable and for their benefit. Whoever originally came up with the idea soon becomes history. What the tech market the world over wants to know is who turned it into something tangible even if that was the easiest part. If a chinese came up with that idea, he'd bottle up the ambition and make his way to China or a chinese firm or University, where he won't struggle intellectual property issues with anybody. That way whatever he comes up with stands recognized as a Chinese invention, with their own indigenous firms ready to develop it into a commercial technology. And Chinese govt will give him whatever he needs to succeed. So the challenge here, I think, was not the white man's suppression per se. It was more of the black man's inability or lack of the resources and platform to bring his idea to life in his own territory, where he can control what happens after and who has a stake. Given the time of this discovery, it would hav been a monumental task or impossible trying to apply the Chinese man's strategy above. because, what did we know abt Science and tech down here? we were busy with oil money and millitary coups. I wasn't even born,thank God. laughs. And most of these free-minded intellectuals dont reason along the cat n dog lines of thought. They just wanna make stuff happen. Now back to reality: Our own institutions, our own universities, our own ministry of Sci. & Tech., Our own companies and research agencies. These are the platforms we'd be able to stand and build something we can call our own. Else our God given talent might just keep serving already existing foreign systems with little or no credit. Lets build n grow these things to standard. We will rule. Shun tribalism!!!!! I luv u guys. -- a Scientist |
