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
A friend of mine just graduated from University of Michigan.
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]"

Tribalism and hatred won't allow you to reason. He was a victim of racism. The whites hate seeing africans being described as more intelligent. Go to american tertiary institutions and see for yourself that nigerians are the most intelligent but the whites would rather steal their work and give to their fellow whites than to recognise african brilliance.
Emegwali's achievements pains white america till date and they are looking for a way to strip off his accolades.
Ever wondered why a nigerian student will finish with a 3rd class here only to relocate to the u.s for a second degree and come out with a first class?


ignorance is a terrible disease, i schooled abroad and pls dont say what you just said outside again. Have you heard of the black man called Ben Carson? There are countless others that have excelled academically pls. Anyway the worst thing about the whole thing is even that emiagwali never had any of the achievements he falsely credited to himself by using fake internet campaigns, and he was exposed long since 2009, am surprised anyone will bring back this lie

I am so proud of him. This why we should all shun ethnic bigotry and work towards progress of a united Nigeria. Igbos can always boast of great intellectuals who are indispensable for achieving Nigeria of our dream. My plea is that IGBOS should forgive and forget all past conflicts. We are always better of as one Nigeria especially if Justice prevails.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

how is he the brain? said who? if u were not in primary school in 2010 u shud have known emiagwali is as fake as fake can go. he achieved nothing! nothing! he's a nobody that used the internet to generate false, i said false news about hinself. As at 1997 I was among the few that hyped him to the high heavens until the truth came out! stop thinking of hate as the only reason for correcting an erring person!

Lol. He said "blessing to Nigeria". Funniest thing i ever heard. Nothing is a blessing in Nigeria. You are all cursed. Prove me wrong if you disagree. The guy is a blessing to another country. Do you think he would achieve what he has if was in Nigeria? He probably would have been killed by ritualist, jungle justice, armed robbers, etc. You pick one.
