Many of those writings only serve as hype than reality. He made one or two contributions and won a cheap award but used hype with the support of black community to project himself as father of internet. Why cant we Nigerians shhhhhh........ about it and allow our own enjoy the hype like the British? Its of no use pulling your own star down.
Philip Emeagwali myths
This page briefly addresses some specific claims appearing on Emeagwali's self-promotional website and elsewhere. For a more in-depth discussion of Emeagwali's "outright lies, half-truths, and numerous unsubstantiated claims," see the article Self-Promotion and Self-Authentication: "Father of the Internet" by Chioma Ezeilo.
MYTH #1: Emeagwali made the "world's fastest computation" in 1989
Each year since 1987, the judges for the annual Gordon Bell competition have given out multiple prizes for supercomputing applications, usually including one forperformance (fastest speed), and one for price/performance (best speed/cost ratio; specifically, "price-performance ratio as measured in megaflop/s per dollar on a genuine application".
Despite what you may have read on the Internet, the 1989 prize for the fastest performance was awarded not to Emeagwali, but to another entrant:
In the performance category, we awarded the prize to a team from Mobil Research and Development and Thinking Machines Corp. [...] Their solution of a seismic data-processing problem ran at almost 6 Gflops on a CM-2 Connection Machine.
"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101
The winning speed of 6 Gflops was almost double that of Emeagwali's entry (3.1 Gflops, a speed that Emeagwali has repeatedly misrepresented as the "world's fastest". The Mobil/TMC team achieved the best price-performance ratio too, but since no entry was allowed more than one prize, the price/performance award passed to Emeagwali (who also used a CM-2 Connection Machine) even though his score in that category was about 20% worse than the leading score:
We awarded the price/performance prize to Philip Emeagwali [...] His model ran at a price/performance of slightly less than 400 Mflops per $1 million.While the Mobil/TMC team achieved almost 500 Mflops per $1 million, we decided to award only one prize per entry.
"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101
See the yearly results for the performance and price/performance categories. In no year did Emeagwali achieve what he claims he did.
MYTH #2: Emeagwali won computing's equivalent of the Nobel Prize
In spite of efforts by Emeagwali and his admirers to hype up his $1000 Gordon Bell award as the "Nobel Prize" of computing, the rest of the computing world continues to associate that lofty label with the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won. The Gordon Bell prize, however, is just one of many other annual computing awards, respectable but not at all comparable to either the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award in prestige or prize money. Nor are the selection criteria analogous: Emeagwali was awarded for his performance in an annual competition, not in recognition of lasting contributions to his field.
MYTH #3: Emeagwali is a "Father of the Internet"
1. Emeagwali's paternity claims to the Internet are judged and found baseless. Emeagwali has not shown any evidence that he was involved with ARPA or any other research organization or company connected with the genesis of the Internet, nor did he express his ideas in technical journals or any other channel through which he could have influenced the development of the Internet during its formative stages.
2. Is there a father of the Internet? A discussion of the main contenders: JCR Licklider, Bob Taylor, Paul Baran, Donald Davies, and Lawrence Roberts.
MYTH #4: The "Connection Machine" was invented by Emeagwali
A few Web sources expand the fallacy that Emeagwali created the fastest computer program, insisting that he was also responsible for the massively parallel supercomputer on which the program ran. However, the 65,000-processor "Connection Machine" that allowed such speedy computations was actually the brainchild of Danny Hillis and was built by Thinking Machines Corporation, the company Hillis co-founded. The fact is extensively documented on the web and is so well established that I won't devote more attention to it.
MYTH #5: Emeagwali has lots of patents or patent applications
The number of Emeagwali's patents or patent applications is sometimes claimed to be as high as 30. However, a search of the USPTO and esp@cenet patent databases (as of September 2003) reveals the true number to be zero. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fully searchable online database for all U.S. patents since 1976 as well as all current applications, simply has nothing on file for Emeagwali.
MYTH #6: "Dr." Emeagwali?
Emeagwali is frequently referred to on his own and other websites as "Dr. Philip Emeagwali" or simply "Dr. Emeagwali." Though he did in fact enroll in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, he did not get the degree after failing his qualification examinations twice and having his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty members. Emeagwali subsequently sued the university, alleging civil rights violations and racial discrimination. His case was dismissed without trial. When Emeagwali appealed to a higher court, a three-judge panel rejected his discrimination claims unanimously.
bayooooooo: Celebrate true heroes, not liars and fraud.
I celebrate emeagwali because he is the first black computer genius known, not because of those egoistic claims he made. granted, he overrated himself, but he isn't a fraud, cos if he was, he would be prosecuted or jailed, I trust america and their respect for intellectual property.

I will like you to do this; quote any Emeagwali's article or website where he made those claims. In a bid to exaggerate Him, people made spurious claims that he never admitted.
I could remember vividly his 1992 symposium shortly after the Gordon Bell award, at DMGS onitsha his alma matter, he said he has the fastest speed/cost computing in the world by AN INDIVIDUAL. .
The ExxonMobil team had the fastest as a group.
Most of those myths you wrote up there are mere figments of people's imaginations, he even said that internet has father, mother and siblings he equally mentioned one priest like that but he told us that his work preceeds the internet of today.
he actually advanced the early internet of the US military.
Guy, I listened to that chap personally not hearsay, you guys have no idea how smart that guy is.
Take it or leave it, Emeagwali is a genius till you place his statements in tandem with your rebuttals, then I will take you seriously.

He is a fraud.
1. There are instances, in several interviews, where he was called a "Dr" or a "Professor" without Philips correcting such obviously undeserved titles. Now, if you know one or two things about interviews, you would know his hosts would have checked his Bio with him before going live.
We asked Philip Emeagwali before both interviews on how best to address him and at the event at IOD he agreed for us to call him “Professor” and strangely (in hindsight) he asked to be addressed as “Dr” at the second interview at the Novotel hotel.
3.If his entry for the award wasn't even the best but got rewarded because the best team were not allowed to take more awards, ask yourself, what's in such an award to make it a Nobel Prize? The notion that he submitted an individual entry as against team work added nothing important except that Philips possibly had a great potential. It would have been a different story altogether if his entry BEAT the one submitted by a team. Slice it anyhow, he was still the second best, not the actual best.
4.Ask yourself, if Philips is the father, sister, uncle or aunt of internet, what should we call those who actually had the fastest calculation even at 1989 award? Obviously, he won a graduate school equivalent of poster prize and has turned/misrepresnted the worth of the award.
5.If Emeagweali is such a genius that you called him, why is he jobless now? Or where does our genius work?

if you like, kill yourself of hate. emeagwali is a respected achiever. get a lawyer and jail him for fraud you can. jealous worm......carry go emeagwali, my first notable computer genius...

Your arguement is weak!
Show me where Philip addressed himself as a Dr in any of his publications.
Show me where all the world computing prices are ranked to know who is equivalent to the other.
He admitted others contributed to the internet, it was Philip that told us that the US military was running an equivalent of the Internet ever before windows was born! ! If he made an input in that regards, why won't you recognise him?
Whatever he won is recognized world over, who is your father? What did he win that we don't know about?
Show us an individual with faster computing in the world, Philip delivered 29yrs ago.
Jobless, lol what do you know? Do you know how much it cost to invite that guy to a lecture? ?
Philip is not a fraud but you are a Jobless, pathological liar!!

I have produced two videos, recorded at different locations, where he was called a "Dr" or a "professor" and have quoted a man who actually interviewed him. Did he have an obligation to correct his titles when given a wrong salutation? Would he have kept quiet if addressed as a Thief Emeagweali or an Ex-convict Philips? He could care less when addressed as such? You can't obviously hide behind a finger and claim you are invisible.
I don't need to show you where any lists are ranked. I am telling you Gordon Bell Prize is nothing close to a Nobel. Look in the direction of Turing ($250,000), Draper ($500,000) and Marconi Prizes ($100,000) relative to Gordon Bell ($10,000). Read citations of those awards and tell me how Gordon Bell is the real deal. http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases-2007/turingaward/
This is a brief citation for Gordon Bell Prize
The Gordon Bell Prize is awarded each year to recognize outstanding achievement in high-performance computing. The purpose of the award is to track the progress over time of parallel computing, with particular emphasis on rewarding innovation in applying high-performance computing to applications in science, engineering, and large-scale data analytics. Prizes may be awarded for peak performance or special achievements in scalability and time-to-solution on important science and engineering problems. Financial support of the $10,000 award is provided by Gordon Bell, a pioneer in high-performance and parallel computing.
The A.M. Turing Award, the ACM's most prestigious technical award, is given for major contributions of lasting importance to computing. Recipients are invited to give the annual A.M. Turing Award Lecture. The award is also accompanied by a cash prize of $250,000, which in recent years has been underwritten by the Intel Corporation and Google, Inc. This site celebrates all the winners since the award's creation in 1966. It contains biographical information, a description of their accomplishments, straightforward explanations of their fields of specialization, and text or video of their A. M. Turing Award Lecture.
It was Philips that told us that US was running an equivalent of internet before windows come on board? Lol. When did he make this earth shaking disclosure? Did you know when Windows 1.0 was launched? Windows 2.0 was launched in 1987, two years before Philips won Gordon Bell by default. So when did he make that disclosure and who was even Philip then ?
Show us an individual with faster computing in the world, Philip delivered 29yrs ago.
Lol.What you are doing is similar to calling a black student that actually came sixth in a competition, the best black student. Did he have the fastest computing record when he was given the award? NO! You made it sound as if he was prevented from partnering with others? So, what's the hype all about? He wasn't even the best as at 1989! He was given that award NOT because he had the fastest record but because those who HAD the record were NOT allowed to take more than one entry.
The focus is the role of Philip Emeagweali. What input did he make into the development of internet?
Philips was invited to give lectures because of lies he carefully told to the world. He was invited to those lectures because of the misrepresentation of his actual value; same way his image was embossed on Nigerian stamps based on those lies. However, since his lies have unraveled, can you tell me how many lectures he has delivered this year? Google Philip emeagweali and click on news! What do you see? It seems he now gives lectures and speeches in his living room as none is publicized.

Emeagweali is a fraud.
Show me where Philip addressed himself as a Dr in any of his publications or interview?
You are telling me to believe the Nobel Prize is higher yet you admitted there is no ranking, aren't you the liar here? How did you know which is higher without a ranking? How about I believe Philip who told me both are apar, what is wrong with that?
Did you ask who Philip was in 1987? I don't blame you an Oshogbo conductor who benefited from Tecno internet revolution, ask your father what Philip was doing in 1987. By 1986 when your father was impregnating prost!tutes in Oshogbo, Philip has already bagged a Masters degree in Ocean engineering.
Show me an individual with a better cost/performance computing in the world?
People like us who have been following events from time immemorial know exactly what Philip won, cave men like you who just heard of him have no idea what he did rather you resort to cheap slander out of petty jealousy, I ask you again, who is your father and what is his contribution to the development of science and technology in Oshogbo, let alone the world?
Show me one person you know who was first to simulate a program to apply a false-time approach to reservoir modeling?
Do you even know what that means? That area of science is not for dolts and bingos like you, pray you will find yourself in a drilling school, Philip Emeagwali will be introduced to you as a god,
Make no mistakes, amongst all Nigerians working on oil and gas research, Philip is the closest to a patent, go figure.
Even Okwudili ogbuenyi that Nsukka chap working for Schlumberger R and D, said that Philip Emeagwali is a genius, you a freaking nobody without a surname is peddling lies against him.
How many persons in your family studied Computational field dymanics let alone making a discovery there in?
Philip Emeagwali, succeeded where great scientists like Lewis fry Richardson failed. what do you even know?
When you can afford Philip Emeagwali's lecture, then we can discuss, for now, You will be more useful hung by the balls.
Jealousy will kill some people. Even if Philip lied his way to the top, tell me; is that an easy thing to do? the mumu publisher (Sowere whatever) of sahara reporter is just a pure dunce, and fortunately for him he found Nigerians so gullible that his website is the source of the most spread falsehood in Nigeria.
Believe it or not Philip has written his name in the sands of time and history, and no amount of criticism and/or falsehood will obliterate that.
Show me where Philip addressed himself as a Dr in any of his publications or interview?
You are telling me to believe the Nobel Prize is higher yet you admitted there is no ranking, aren't you the liar here? How did you know which is higher without a ranking? How about I believe Philip who told me both are apar, what is wrong with that?

1.Let me accept without conceding that my father was nobody, how's that related to Emeagweali claims? Does my father nothingness, so to say, make Emeagweali a genius? I am just curious how my father, or your father, is meant to make your argument logical, sound or strong.
You are telling me to believe the Nobel Prize is higher yet you admitted there is no ranking, aren't you the liar here? How did you know which is higher without a ranking? How about I believe Philip who told me both are apar, what is wrong with that?
2.When an organization (ACM) gives two different awards namely: (1) Gordon Bell($10000) and (2) Turing($250000) and the organization succinctly stated by their citations that Turing was higher ( the most prestigious one), does what you choose to believe matter? If you see red but call it black, does that change the actual color? It reflects more on who you are than what the color is.
Make no mistakes, amongst all Nigerians working on oil and gas research, Philip is the closest to a patent, go figure.
3. What does closest to a patent mean? You made me laugh. How do your measure closest to being a patent? Patent or no patent, where is Emeagweali 'contribution' even being applied? In addition, why are you domesticating the 'achievement' of your god? I thought I would read "amongst all scientists working" without the adjective "Nigerian". Is he now a genius by Nigerian standard, hahahaha? Don't you know the best of the worst is still the worst? Who gives a f$$k about the second best, not to talk of an apparent fraud? So because Nigerians have no patents in oil and gas research, does that mean others are not filing and getting patents? Where then lies the genius of your god, Emeagweali? You are not bright.
Did you ask who Philip was in 1987? I don't blame you an Oshogbo conductor who benefited from Tecno internet revolution, ask your father what Philip was doing in 1987. By 1986 when your father was impregnating prost!tutes in Oshogbo, Philip has already bagged a Masters degree in Ocean engineering.
4. Was it from his ocean and marine engineering that Emeagweali knew United States military was working on internet, even before windows was launched? hahahaha. It's cheering you have dropped your ridiculous line that he was the first to talk about US plans on internet even before windows was launched. Masters degree? Lol. So what? With his masters degree in 1987, who was he? He had no publications, he was not an authority on anything. So who listened to him when he was talking (read blabbing)? You apparently think idle rumors that you indulge in constitute a talk, prediction or an assertion.
Show me an individual with a better cost/performance computing in the world? Show me one person you know who was first to simulate a program to apply a false-time approach to reservoir modeling? How many persons in your family studied Computational field dymanics let alone making a discovery there in? Philip Emeagwali, succeeded where great scientists like Lewis fry Richardson failed. what do you even know? I ask you again, who is your father and what is his contribution to the development of science and technology in Oshogbo, let alone the world? Even Okwudili ogbuenyi that Nsukka chap working for Schlumberger R and D, said that Philip Emeagwali is a genius, you a freaking nobody without a surname is peddling lies against him.
5. Why do you like dropping names? Ogbuenyi said something about Emeagweali? Eehyyah. Why can't you let Emeagweali work speaks for him? I ask, again, where is Philips Emeagweali's work being applied? Did Emeagweali hold the fastest computation speed even as at the time he was given Gordon Bell? The simple answer is NO. He "won" that award because those who had the best result were not allowed to win more than one award. So where lies Emeagweali genius when his work wasn't even the best when he was dashed that award? . So, quit rigmarole and an obtuse argument. Even for brilliants folks, being the first to publish a paper on something or moot an idea doesn't translate to being the best or a genius or an authority on that thing. You have to show consistently brilliant and outstanding output to earn that.
When you can afford Philip Emeagwali's lecture, then we can discuss, for now, You will be more useful hung by the balls.
6. Hmmn. How many lectures has your god, Emeagweali, delivered this year, even for those who can afford? Why would or should I listen to a fraud? Why would anyone want to associate with a fraud? He has been exposed for who he is, a fraud, and as such, no one wants him any longer. That's the simple reason people don't call him for lecture any more. I ask, again, can you tell me how many lectures he has delivered this year? Does he now give lectures in secret?
A daft m0r0n defending a fraud, you might be the first Nigerian genius to patent foolishness. Make we dey observe

If you see red but call it black, does that change the actual color? It reflects more on who you are than what the color is.
3. What does closest to a patent mean? You made me laugh. How do your measure closest to being a patent? Patent or no patent, where is Emeagweali 'contribution' even being applied? In addition, why are you domesticating the 'achievement' of your god? I thought I would read "amongst all scientists working" without the adjective "Nigerian". Is he now a genius by Nigerian standard, hahahaha? Don't you know the best of the worst is still the worst? Who gives a f$$k about the second best, not to talk of an apparent fraud? So because Nigerians have no patents in oil and gas research, does that mean others are not filing and getting patents? Where then lies the genius of your god, Emeagweali? You are not bright.
4. Was it from his ocean and marine engineering that Emeagweali knew United States military was working on internet, even before windows was launched? hahahaha. It's cheering you have dropped your ridiculous line that he was the first to talk about US plans on internet even before windows was launched. Masters degree? Lol. So what? With his masters degree in 1987, who was he? He had no publications, he was not an authority on anything. So who listened to him when he was talking (read blabbing)? You apparently think idle rumors that you indulge in constitute a talk, prediction or an assertion.
5. Why do you like dropping names? Ogbuenyi said something about Emeagweali? Eehyyah. Why can't you let Emeagweali work speaks for him? I ask, again, where is Philips Emeagweali's work being applied? Did Emeagweali hold the fastest computation speed even as at the time he was given Gordon Bell? The simple answer is NO. He "won" that award because those who had the best result were not allowed to win more than one award. So where lies Emeagweali genius when his work wasn't even the best when he was dashed that award? . So, quit rigmarole and an obtuse argument. Even for brilliants folks, being the first to publish a paper on something or moot an idea doesn't translate to being the best or a genius or an authority on that thing. You have to show consistently brilliant and outstanding output to earn that.
6. Hmmn. How many lectures has your god, Emeagweali, delivered this year, even for those who can afford? Why would or should I listen to a fraud? Why would anyone want to associate with a fraud? He has been exposed for who he is, a fraud, and as such, no one wants him any longer. That's the simple reason people don't call him for lecture any more. I ask, again, can you tell me how many lectures he has delivered this year? Does he now give lectures in secret?
A daft m0r0n defending a fraud, you might be the first Nigerian genius to patent foolishness. Make we dey observe
I wish I had time to educate you, the reason you have no idea who and who are close to a patent or find the names I mentioned obscure is because you are a nobody. "Nobodies" like you are not entitled to be discussing "somebodies". Don't abuse your freedom of speech. Your father is in the best position to discuss 1986 not you.

This page briefly addresses some specific claims appearing on Emeagwali's self-promotional website and elsewhere. For a more in-depth discussion of Emeagwali's "outright lies, half-truths, and numerous unsubstantiated claims," see the article Self-Promotion and Self-Authentication: "Father of the Internet" by Chioma Ezeilo.
MYTH #1: Emeagwali made the "world's fastest computation" in 1989
Each year since 1987, the judges for the annual Gordon Bell competition have given out multiple prizes for supercomputing applications, usually including one forperformance (fastest speed), and one for price/performance (best speed/cost ratio; specifically, "price-performance ratio as measured in megaflop/s per dollar on a genuine application".
Despite what you may have read on the Internet, the 1989 prize for the fastest performance was awarded not to Emeagwali, but to another entrant:
In the performance category, we awarded the prize to a team from Mobil Research and Development and Thinking Machines Corp. [...] Their solution of a seismic data-processing problem ran at almost 6 Gflops on a CM-2 Connection Machine.
"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101
The winning speed of 6 Gflops was almost double that of Emeagwali's entry (3.1 Gflops, a speed that Emeagwali has repeatedly misrepresented as the "world's fastest". The Mobil/TMC team achieved the best price-performance ratio too, but since no entry was allowed more than one prize, the price/performance award passed to Emeagwali (who also used a CM-2 Connection Machine) even though his score in that category was about 20% worse than the leading score:
We awarded the price/performance prize to Philip Emeagwali [...] His model ran at a price/performance of slightly less than 400 Mflops per $1 million.While the Mobil/TMC team achieved almost 500 Mflops per $1 million, we decided to award only one prize per entry.
"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101
See the yearly results for the performance and price/performance categories. In no year did Emeagwali achieve what he claims he did.
MYTH #2: Emeagwali won computing's equivalent of the Nobel Prize
In spite of efforts by Emeagwali and his admirers to hype up his $1000 Gordon Bell award as the "Nobel Prize" of computing, the rest of the computing world continues to associate that lofty label with the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won. [/b]The Gordon Bell prize, however, is just one of many other annual computing awards, respectable but not at all comparable to either the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award in prestige or prize money. Nor are the selection criteria analogous: Emeagwali was awarded for his performance in an annual competition, not in recognition of lasting contributions to his field.
[b]MYTH #3: Emeagwali is a "Father of the Internet"
1. Emeagwali's paternity claims to the Internet are judged and found baseless. Emeagwali has not shown any evidence that he was involved with ARPA or any other research organization or company connected with the genesis of the Internet, nor did he express his ideas in technical journals or any other channel through which he could have influenced the development of the Internet during its formative stages.
2. Is there a father of the Internet? A discussion of the main contenders: JCR Licklider, Bob Taylor, Paul Baran, Donald Davies, and Lawrence Roberts.
MYTH #4: The "Connection Machine" was invented by Emeagwali
A few Web sources expand the fallacy that Emeagwali created the fastest computer program, insisting that he was also responsible for the massively parallel supercomputer on which the program ran. However, the 65,000-processor "Connection Machine" that allowed such speedy computations was actually the brainchild of Danny Hillis and was built by Thinking Machines Corporation, the company Hillis co-founded. The fact is extensively documented on the web and is so well established that I won't devote more attention to it.
MYTH #5: Emeagwali has lots of patents or patent applications
The number of Emeagwali's patents or patent applications is sometimes claimed to be as high as 30. However, a search of the USPTO and esp@cenet patent databases (as of September 2003) reveals the true number to be zero. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fully searchable online database for all U.S. patents since 1976 as well as all current applications, simply has nothing on file for Emeagwali.
MYTH #6: "Dr." Emeagwali?
Emeagwali is frequently referred to on his own and other websites as "Dr. Philip Emeagwali" or simply "Dr. Emeagwali." Though he did in fact enroll in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, he did not get the degree after failing his qualification examinations twice and having his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty members. Emeagwali subsequently sued the university, alleging civil rights violations and racial discrimination. His case was dismissed without trial. When Emeagwali appealed to a higher court, a three-judge panel rejected his discrimination claims unanimously.
The bolded under myth#2 destroyed any credibility the junk could have fetched you.
I wish I had time to educate you, the reason you have no idea who and who are close to a patent or find the names I mentioned obscure is because you are a nobody. "Nobodies" like you are not entitled to be discussing "somebodies". Don't abuse your freedom of speech. Your father is in the best position to discuss 1986 not you.
..
Bros do not waste your precious time on dumbass Nigerians. Most of them on this forum are the most ill-educated dunces I have ever read the crap they wrote. Nobel Prize is a joke that had been politically tinted.

Philip is a fraud celebrated by cretins of which you are a classic example. Of course, we do learn everyday but you have nothing to offer.
Firstly, Philips couldn't patent his nonsense because it wasn't novel, among several factors. Since, there was another team with better and faster computing record, where lies the novelty for it to pass the patent test? Others would have challenged the novelty of his claims. Of course, this fact is lost on you because you are obviously a cretin.
Secondly, where is Philips' "discovery" being applied? There are several reasons why patent applications are filed or sought; among the key ones is to protect commercial success/interest that might derive from such discovery. Who is he trying to prevent from profiting illegally from his "discovery"?Which company, firm, agency is utilizing Philips' "discovery"? In other words, what's the applicability of his "discovery"? If it's not novel, and its usefulness in question, what is the basis to even consider it for a patent, in any jurisdiction?
Thirdly, does philips have any scientific or technical publications to his name, not to even mention defensive publication before considering a patent ? And this man whose "discovery" wasn't novel, whose applicability of such "discovery" patently in question, who has no scientific publications to his name in any field including your nebulous "oil and gas research", is the only Nigerian closest to getting a patent in the oil and gas research? Your foolishness is legendary.

Whether Nobel prize is a joke or has been politicized isn't the issue. What Philips claimed to be Nobel Prize of computing was and is not the nobel prize of Computing. Pointblank: his claims are false.

Show me where Philip addressed himself as a Dr in any of his publications.
Show me where all the world computing prices are ranked to know who is equivalent to the other.

Like I said before now, you are a nobody as such, you have no right to discuss people like Philip Emeagwali, perhaps in your next life when you get the privilege of fraternizing in Philip's social circle or you have the brain to go neck deep into
Reservoir Engineering R and D, I am certain you will show some respect.
In the interim, you are just like a hopeless local dog looking for who to pass you shyte!!
Imagine this Urchin with poor education having the temerity to Slander Philip Emeagwali, you are not even scared.
.
? Your foolishness is legendary.
