bawomolo:

how is his invention a novel one if it has being allegedly applied to study global warming?   i wonder why he didnt patent this invention either. maybe he believes in open source or fake sauce

between i still can't find the UofM today article you spoke of

You know nothing about how you patent works of invention especially if it is in a new field. I may not know why He did not patent many of his inventions but I sure know one thing that if Philip's invention were false, the US security agencies have the tools to get him nailed and put behind the bars, yet this blessed fellow of ours is the delight of powerful minds and committees in the world of supercomputing and super advanced computational mathematics!

As somene already said " Falsehood only ast for a while, Truth exist forever", Time shall justify or condem Philip. E.

@ Tkb,

Thunder fire your nyash! Hehehehehe.

@ Peedavinci,

How many undergrad dissertations did you reference in your PHD thesis. Ingrate! Hehehehehe.

BTW, I'm not disputing your claim. Its just not usually done to quote Undergrad when you're doing a postgrad. Of course there may be exceptional pieces of work worth referencing such as your own thesis which has been referenced by Stephen Hawkings and the like. Anofia! Hehehehehehe.

Mr Ibime -  just want to provide you links to the undergrad thesis of the two students I worked with during an exchange program.

You should be able to see the number of citation they have received and the people who cited them
Just try and google the names of people who have cited their thesis (to see  whether they are fellow undergrad or Profs). These two are just examples out of thousands that happens everyday.
Not going to draw issues with a you anymore about this, okay??

Having access to a license for SciFinder, a piece of software that allows one to see all published scientific work from every corner of the globe since the beginning of the 20th century, this writer did a search with the name "Emeagwali." Just four results were obtained, all in reference to the work of Dale Emeagwali, who happens to be Philip Emeagwali's wife, a scientist herself. What this means is that Philip Emeagwali has no published scientific work in peer-reviewed journals. Yet on his website, he is called the "greatest scientist of African descent."

"Additionally, if Philip Emeagwali was criticized by whites for his claims of being a “father of the Internet,” that is not racism.  I am Igbo and I am criticizing him for his claims.  Does this make me a racist or someone who hates Philip Emeagwali?  No, absolutely not.  What it does make me is someone who has read the claims made by Philip Emeagwali, and was offended by his tendency to be disingenuous.  Persons, white or black, who are knowledgeable about how the Internet came into being would question Emeagwali’s claims and demand concrete proof of those claims.

As Africans, African-Americans, people of color, however we are characterized, we are, or have been, victims of racism.  To me, this is intolerable.  However, what I find even more heinous is when someone tries to gain our sympathy and support by crying “wolf.”  As the old Igbo song goes, nwa na ebe ọhụhọ ọhụhọ, onye ma mgbe eji egbu ya?"

Philip is a man of GOOD INTEGRITY, either we like it or not PHILIP has contributed something into bring INTERNET into lime light. He work so hard to make his name known despite the fact that He is a black and most white will never want his name to be recognize with His good works.

The guy is an HERO.

You critics should sit down their and be condemning a man that has put His name in the world map through the work of his hands.

You better go find work to do,

Mr Man, you honestly need to quit yanning.
The above links prove absolutely nothing.

The arguement here is a Phd or a Professor referencing an undergraduate or masters student.

Emeagwali lied his way to fame. Ok. Why is he still enjoying the fame and even getting more famous? Times Magazine called him the Bill Gates of Africa. Were they blind? The Gordon Bell prize is regarded as the Nobel prize in supercomputing, not for super-lying. If you are posting a link, don't post links to articles, post links to interviews with Emeagwali.

@Omo Ibo: you dont know what is happening in scientic community, so, shut up.  Anyway, under the links I provided, you will find the students work (published by IEEE) and then, you will see something like "cited by". find the names of people who cited them and see who they are. FYI, Profs are among people who cited them. By the way, before you start saying shits, how many scientific conferences have you attended before, how many scientific papers have you ever published before? are u a grad, av u stepped out of the shores of that country for anything academic before ? i am not here to insult you, but just take it. Anybody can reference anybody inasmuch as you have it published.

How cheeky eh?? LOL

Dude, i'm not sure what university you attended and what calibre of Doctors and Professors you deal(t) with.

A PhD/Professor referencing an undergraduate is unheard of.

Nigeriasns sha.

Even ppl on this thread dey claim PhD, yet they write with the common intellect of a burger flipper.

@all

Nigerians I weep for you, always trying to bring each other down. What happened to "Black Power" or "One Africa" talkless of ppl occupying the same country.

If such should happen,then it's a sign of end time.anyways,you get to hear a lot of crap online these days.just like the other one id!ot was telling me a first degree holder don't need a masters' degree to applied to study PHD in any course.I couldn't stopped lol.

why are fashing burger flippers, they go to night school.

This thread should be closed, killed, thrashed, fueled and burnt, All you black skunks including sahara reports should find something useful to do with the remainder of your miserables lives, back biting bed bugs, IGNORANT EMBEZZLING CORRUPT BLACK BACKWARD MONKEYS SUCKERS, SKUNKS CANT INVENT ANYTHING GOOD BUT HAVE DECIDED TO INVENT EMEAGWALI AS FRAUD, If the man na really fraud, garri wey cover una eyes go let una see am, oya make all of una leave this thread and head over to una thief Senior broda Ibori thread, before i open my eyes now, or else, fire burn,

I saw your comment on the GOODBYE AMERICA, WELCOME NIGERIA thread. Mo fe ko moh pe ara e lo n tan. Wa shi pada wa "sile". Ile kan ni awa moh

Radia Perlman is regarded as the mother of the internet, she invented spanning-tree algorithm, link state protocols and has many patents that can be verified, yet Emeagwali calls himself the father of the internet and I have never seen his name in any of the RFCs that have been released.
I am sure a lot of people here do not know who Radia Perlman is, probably because she does not self promote. Anybody interested in networking should please read her book, the woman hot no be small.

It has nothing to do with bringing him down.we just dont want fraudster to represent Africa or Nigeria !

Why does the BBC and other international news company keep going to him for interviews for their technology stories if he is a fraud?

Why dont you just shut up? So, a fraud should be celebrated cus he's from your Country?

If u dont have nothing better than the rubbish u keep posting on this topic (in a desperate bid to sound neutral and be loved by the Ibos)
I advise u to return with me to Se*xuality section so we can keep talking nasty ish, cus clearly issues of intelligence just aint ur forte!

Omo_Tier1:

I may not know why He did not patent many of his inventions

Wrong! He did not patent ANY of his "inventions"! Why?

Cause ur boy aint invent jack!

The only thing i'm requesting from all the Anti-Emeagwali crusaders is to post a link where he said he got a Nobel prize or that he got a PHD. Tribal scums like bluetooth, Aigbofa, Tewmuch, Bawomolo or whatever will stop at nothing to see anything Igbo fall to the ground. Shame on you all.

Question: Did Mungo Park discover the river Niger?

bk.babe97y:

Wrong! He did not patent ANY of his "inventions"! Why?

He didn't invent anything yet we're arguing about him. How did he manage to get a Gordon prize. Ya'll have to be kidding me.

Neutral and loved by who? Oh puhlzzz.
Nigerians that cant even love themselves can love others?

My point is, instead of being overjoyed and ready to castigate one of AFRICA's own prestigious man, why can't we question the motives behind this new discovery, find out if saharareporters are right or wrong. Since the newspaper is not known for its credibility.

And from what I heard on this thread;

1. He never claimed to own a Nobel Prize, OR CAN YOU PROOF OTHERWISE?

2. The Gordon Bell award in supercomputing which he was awarded is equivalent to the Nobel prize.

So what exactly is all the hoopla? Anywayz, am not going through this with you, we all know how ecstatic you are when you read the news.

Sigh, if we can have a guy like this who is clearly a fraud, and some are rallying behind him because of ethnicity or skin color, how on earth will corruption ever cease in Nigeria? Any crooked politician can steal billions and then accuse those who go after him of being tribal bigots.

Smh.

I will believe you only if you show me an evidence. Don't be a FOOL like your peers.

And it's hard for Nigerians to support each other when you have one part claiming jealousy and tribalism.

Everything is about reaction.

The good Nigerians keep doing their thing.

And what would these Phantom U.S security Agents of yours charge him with? "Mouthing Off to the State"? Oh, maybe the charge of"Deceiving gullible Nigerians" would be more apt in a case like this?!?

Omo_Tier1:


As somene already said " Falsehood only ast for a while, Truth exist forever", Time shall justify or condem Philip. E.

With "Blind-to-the-truth" folks like you the truth will be covered forever!

Question: Has Emeagwali been sued or indicted for any perceived falsehood

If NO,why dont SaharaReporters/the faceless writers or some of you here do so,and then maybe i will take you seriously

afam4eva:

I will believe you only if you show me an evidence. Don't be a FOOL like your peers.

And dont be a deceit like ur hero:

SHOW US ONE PROOF THAT HE DESIGNED EVEN A "FART"!

first i saw u comment >>> SMH at how facile they are  
checked your profile >>> at 26 u 'talk' like this  

u haven't contributed meaningfully (from what i gather) >>> u can redeem yourself by starting now
and when u do state your case clearly & with relevant links >>> which'll suffice as evidence
