emegwali that have been proved to be a fraud.The guy never got a Ph.D took University of Michigan to court to force them to award him a Ph.D

Court case and the denial of degree

"Emeagwali studied for a Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan from 1987 through 1991. His thesis was not accepted by a committee of internal and external examiners and thus he was not awarded the degree. Emeagwali filed a court challenge, stating that the decision was a violation of his civil rights and that the university had discriminated against him in several ways because of his race. The court challenge was dismissed, as was an appeal to the Michigan state Court of Appeals.[8]"

If you have ever met the man,you would know why this is so,mazi Phillip can come off as being arrogant and obnoxious, but his intelligence will not be in doubt,often most degrees above Masters require some degree of politicking, some people just don't know how to lick arse,as is his case.but he is the real deal.

Youngadvocate:
Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.

Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer, mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum fields.

He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified IQ of 190 and directly above 10th placed Garry Kasparov who is alleged to have an IQ of 190.

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.

The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The supercomputer spawned the Internet.

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.”

Ndi Igbo no dey carry last oooooo

DirewolfofStark:
You're actually wrong in one detail: The Gordon Bell Prize is not the Nobel prize of computing.
The highest honor given to a computer scientist is the Turing Prize.

the article said the Nobel prize for super computing not for computer science

He's smart but his country doesn't attach value to their citizens,after a while China or america will pick this man,he better go to where his talents will be utilized to its optimum use.

Jews are not people of earthly genealogy. If u ar not born again, u ar not a Jew even if u are from Jerusalem in Israel or Igbo in Nigeria.

So you think the whites will be happy with his achievement, Google Dr Bennet Omalu and learn from his story.

Mod close this thread the info is false.

Braden7:
IQ testing and scores, no matter how "high", do not adequately explain or predict brilliant achievement. Although the individuals listed here are reportedly highly intelligent due to IQ test scores substantially higher than typical, the truth is, IQ test scores are not what makes any one smarter. Many people with very high scores are NOT close to being like the people listed. Most are not even above average or they are far below average, even, in "achievement" and even income. Smartest people are far more than an IQ, they are creative, and motivated to understand, learn and explore, to solve problems, to learn truths, to teach others and too many times, help humans even with out gain or potential gain for themselves. For example,Mary vos Savant has not contributed anything to Science, Education or the Arts to date. She's high IQ scoring and that's it.

funny enough most of the people on tha list(langan, rosner, emeagwali, vos savant) do not really have the acclaimed "super-high" iq. They are mostly above-average people who lied about and exaggerated their scores for personal gains.
Also i don't think everybody is interested in your idea of 'brilliant achievements'. Some people just a quiet life!

Yes. It is awarded in memory of Alan Turing who invented the enigma machine.

metrosexual:
I had no doubt it would be Philip when I saw this topic on frontpage.

Igbo kwenu! (I'm not Igbo though, but I'm proud of this man, putting our name for good things worldwide)

sorry not hating but just a few years ago he was confirmed a scam and that none of his claims were true. you can check yourself

Dr Philip is Onitsha man.

stonemasonn:
This guy is our Albert Einstein

sorry not hating but nothing about emiagwali is true, is a false news and a confirmed scam who used the internet to generate strings of achievements he never had in real life. this is before he was busted, read up yourself bro

DirewolfofStark:
You're actually wrong in one detail: The Gordon Bell Prize is not the Nobel prize of computing.

You are right. Though, the only thing you found out.

Standardcosting:
Truly Igbos are Jews. If only they would be thankful and serve God appropriately.

which kind of insult is this,my dear,we are igbos and not sick racist war-mongering jews.these current criminals living in palestine are european herdsmen(land grabbers)if anything,we are the true hebrews,from which our name came down to habirus and then to ibos until the Bini forced igbo on us.

[quote author=Ejanla07 post=55175048][/quote]

that guy is not lying, emiagwali was busted long ago, he didn't win any of those awards mentioned, all lies!

bal4real:
Afonjas will not be happy with this news

the news is false, nothibg about emiagwali is true, his case closed long ago as a fraud that used the internet to generate galse news and recognition for work he knew nothing about. Google is ur friend
