The sad thing is that, dude is trying to find a way to change things and ppl are trying to bring him down.
Reading and learning about him, he is not just an ordinary man, he's educated and very intelligent. I expected this hate from the Western World, not from Africans ourselves.

When did he claim to own a Nobel Prize? The question has been left unanswered.
So now, "The Father of Internet" = Nobel Prize? If ANYONE CAN GET ME A LINK TO WHERE HE CLAIMED TO BE A NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, then I'd stop posting.


If this was the case of EzeUche claiming to be rich and living under a bridge, I'd understand. We can burn and roast him alive.

i remember when some fellow came on nl claimin he built a motorbike with his bare hands.

some people also belived him, even though he could not answer any questions

the website imho, says it all, it has only adulations for a prize  he won over 20 years ago

nothing about anything new he has done

he has no publications, no blog where he gists about stuff he's up to

charlatans are the people who ruin reputations of serious professionals

because of this man's antics, people will view future Nigerian physicists with suspicion


the guy comes of as a john fashanu - a prostitute blowing a mediocre achievement out of proportion because he knows there are gullible neophytes that will swallow it up

Blacks are there own worst enemy.

Suffering from the "crabs in a barrel mentality."

Whenever one black man does well, there will always be black people trying to drag him down.

This man is trying to make a difference, and news agencies have interviewed him over the years.

Yet, people still continue to call him a fraud. I'll trust BBC or CNN over you Nairaland "scholars."

DapoBear:

Point is very simple, guys. Suppose a guy with the same exact name as you is a serial despoiler somewhere. Won't you be the first one to expose the guy, make sure he gets locked up and make sure people don't confuse him for you? Phillip E is not calling himself an Igbo scientist. Or an African-American scientist. He is calling himself a NIGERIAN and African scientist! Do you not see how his lies reflect poorly on all Africans, and Nigerians especially? Jeez, it is very, very simple. Dunno why you guys want to reduce everything to some mystical persecution of Igbos, or something. I personally don't give a damn that he is Igbo, he could be Itsekiri. But as soon as he attaches "NIGERIA" to his name, I have to be concerned.


PhysicsMHD:

The Gordon Bell Award is in no way equivalent to the "Nobel Prize of computing". That distinction is reserved for the Turing Award. None of Emeagwali's research is of any relevance to anything significant in modern science.


There are Nigerians who have made actual contributions to science and yet numskulls here are defending this known fraud. The guy fooled you all. He couldn't make it academia so he pretended he was a superstar and made ludicrous amounts of money off of speaking engagements and got acclaim and praise for nothing.

Emeagwali is a known fraud and it bothers me immensely that defenders of this charlatan, whether under the pretense of tribal solidarity, Nigerian nationalism, or black consciousness would dare to defend such an embarrassment to the extent that this thread could reach 9 pages.

not all of us have such low self esteem that we will allow ourselves to be bamboozled

you lot are the kind of people who would have bought into abakili's scam as a matter of meaningless 'black pride'

anyway, they say a sucker is born every five minutes, good to see a congregation of them - better jet off to worship at the shrine of philip emegwali .com

Nigerians are so gullible . Someone posts unsubstantiated claims and you all have your pants in a knot?

None issue. The guy is a fraud and it took sahara reporters essay to find out? You must want to be in the Guinness book of world record ad the dumbest human alive.

Re: How Philip Emeagwali Lied His Way To Fame by Nobody: 9:32pm On Oct 19, 2010
see as his acolytes have learnt from him - just as he has done, they are posting pictures rather than papers

notice that most of teh critics are people of a technical bent, while most of the supporters seem to think this is some sort of hello! shoot, where they refute queries by posting pictures

i hope you lot don't think this is how you will eventually make your mark in the world  undecided undecided

If BBC, CNN, FOX, NBC, MSNBC do not see him as a fraud, then he is definitely not a fraud. He has been vetted by these major news organizations.

Nairaland "scholars," do you feel that you all are more knowledgeable than these major news networks?
Re: How Philip Emeagwali Lied His Way To Fame by ochocinco1(m): 9:36pm On Oct 19, 2010
Please Igbo people in the house. Is the guy a fraud or not?

That is the question.

I want to stop peddling the guy as
a success story before I set myself up for unnecessary embarrassment.

I wouldn't be too hasty about the thoroughness of these news organisations. Is that the reason why you think he is not a fraud?

That is not the only reason, why I do not consider him as a fraud. The man has been invited to the White House and he has met with other head's of state.

No other scholars have come out against him except Nigerians! That speaks volumes. A black man can't do anything without another black man trying to bring him down. Sad but true.
