It saddens me that Nigeria with many professors and engineering/science training institutions who have not achieved anything of note outside paper publication which they cannot convert to engineering design, open their mouth to castigate another person who is trying to make a contribution to the science world.
What do we black men achieve by pulling down our fellow black? Its a pity that this race have a problem that is difficult to solve and the sooner we understand that, the better for us.
I am not a propenent of Emeagwali. I have not even read any of his work but I think the rate of at which Nigeians who have achieve nothing cast aspersion on him is alarming and embarassing. Let us look for how to move ourselves forward if we are to gain respect in the global community as a black race rather than pulling ourself backward.

Nigerians are terrible people I tell you.
Malice and envy knows no bounds.
Very frightening.
If Mr. Emeagwali is a fraud, why not lodge the complaints to the right channels and have the Gordon Bell award revoked?
We are truly a nation of savages.

The malice and animosity directed towards the man is really a wake-up call to the kinds of people we truly are.
A big shame.
