@ 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.

i actually asked for the web link on him claiming he won a nobel prize

this thread smells of BAD BELLE

Are people no more allowed to have opposing views without being accused of bad bellerism or tribalism?

Journalists get fired for not vetting stories or making stuff up, even at the New York times. Politicians fake college degrees, and the electoral body does not catch the lie: only to be found out by a citizen journalist weeks to election. All this is in America. Fraud and incompetence are not unique to Nigeria/Africa, contrary to all you might be hearing in the media.

how ? That we ask after his acclaimed father of internet crap,his PHD conspiracy or that he claimed to have won the Nobel award ? What has this got to do with hausa or ijaw ?

Philip Emeagwali designed the program and formula for the fastest computer on earth, the Connection Machine. He designed the system of parallel computers that are used by all search engines, for example Yahoo or Search.com. The parallel computer idea was also worked on by individuals such as Burton Smith and Daniel Hillis.

The Connection Machine with a program developed by Philip Emeagwali solved a 350 year old packing problem that was considered to be one of the great unsolved mathematics problems. [/b]The Connection Machine and Mr.[b] Emeagwali also designed equations to explain how sperm swim, how polluted groundwater flows, how the Earth's interior moves and causes volcanic eruptions, finally how to recover petroleum safer and in larger quantities.

Finally Philip Emeagwali designed the Hyperball computer which is able to forecast long-term global warming patterns.

If this is true, why was he not awarded the degree then?

Awarding degrees has never been the true test of knowledge. No wonder Nigeria is in this shape today because we tend to measure one's capability through paper qualifications. Ask those who have PHD, there are more things to it than academic work. Some people are intellectually capable and their dissertation were very okay but they never received their PHD, why?

Long story ! The question is ;does he have or not ? If NO .why did he address himself as a doctor ?

Wait a minute, let us be objective here, look at those who are against him, all Nigerians professionals, there is something fishy. He might have hyped up some of his achievements, so what? A lizard who falls from high Iroko tree, if nobody, praises him, he will take that responsibility upon itself.
To come on this platform to dismiss this man as a total fraud is absolutely ludicrous. This man goes from one symposium to another, all over the world, he's highly paid to deliver speeches. Are they also saying that this bodies don't verify his credentials?
This is the problem with Nigerians, the energy they used here in unveiling trash about their fellow countryman is enough to build a Boeing 787 plane.
If nothing is been heard about those enumerated above, what is our business? are we going to sing their praises for them? Nobody knew Phillip until he showed himself to the world. Let American body of scientist prove otherwise, until then, Phillip is still a hero in his own right.
THANKS, BUT NO THANKS, BAD BELLE PEOPLE, PHD, PULL HIM DOWN. NIGERIAN MENTALITY.

@bawomolo
I was refering to the supercomputing award not the Congrassional or Presidential award - typo/mix up!

Why not go to those references and check them out for yourself? And for your request for his journal publications, I think you know little or nothing about how inventors work! They never bother to publish their works because if they do, something would go wrong. History have shown us that this is always the case.
I say this 'cos while I was working on a concept on intelligent structures based on neural networks, the foundation who provided part fundng wanted to publish some of the initial findings in a smart structures journal and the expert group in te research laboratory gave a resounding NO to the foundation. Today, that laboratory recognises that the concept is novel, has wider implications on future smart structure analysis. Today in my own personal capcity, I have made no attempts to publish an write up on those findings but in the faculty, they see the work as very novel and two external bodies have had a look at the work and the agree with the faculty's expert group findings!

The achievment of Philip.E. is a source of inspiration to my scientist around the world and the fact that He never claims to know it all and He is willing to share his wealth of knowledge with others speaks volumes about him!

I read the actual article in saharareporters. I was shocked that a fellow nigerian in diaspora would do this to one of his own. Emeagwali might have overstated some things but it doesn't take away the fact that he's a very brilliant man. The Gordon Bell award was not by accident. How many Nigerians can lay claim to that? The article was childish, petty and vindictive at best. If the author had stuck to his evidence, it might have been a good expose, but he went on and on about petty and irrelevant facts like how the Gordon Bell award was worth a thousand dollars etc. It almost sounded as if the author were jealous of Mr. Emeagwali. Shame on Prof. Toyin!
