He seems to be a Frenchman that want to use this flimsy reason to justify his company failure in Nigeria. If you are a tech company and you can't build a fraud-proof system then you are not ready to do business. I live in the US and all Americans I met have goods words to say about Nigerians that work with them. I used to work with a group of researchers in a university in Canada and their experience with me encourage to bring in several other Nigerian researchers and students directly from Nigeria. I don't think we need to walk around with our heads buried in the sand.

Anyone caught, tried and convicted should pay for his crime! This is the main thing!

Trying to draw attention to their ethnicity is for what? If your country had provided them with opportunities to earn a decent living i doubt we would be here discussing this today! This issue of getting gov't to be accountable and work for the people is all what IPOB is about! If you have a problem with their modus-operandi then start your own movement to change things....just like Sowore tried to do before they silenced him!

But it's not a justification for them to go into crime. These same people are no different from politicians back home. If they could do this outside Nigeria then If they are in a position of authority in Nigeria they will leave the treasure empty. Nigerians should deal with their demons that make many of them think that robbing others to make a living is an option. Leave political agitation out this.

Don't you see the actions taken by our noble leaders when fulanis wouldn't let us rest few months back? From Ooni, to alaafin and the rest of the noble yoruba kings to gani adams are ona kakanfo of yorubaland. That's what leaders are meant for, we'll never disrespect them unlike some that have no leader and wake up their fathers with a sliding tackle according to stories. Revolution my ass. Our pvc is our revolution and we'll never cease to use it every four years. Nonsensical nonsense.

Please point to the elders you are talking about. Elders or criminals profiting from the masses. Please keep that elder story to yourself because few of the elders are worth respecting. Elders that does not respect themselves will get disrespected. People like you prefer a docile population in the name respect. What respect? For who? Elders that sold their people into slavery and also coveted the colonialists for personal gain. "Awon Omo Ole Barawo Jati Jati"

Differences between Nigeria and Biafra:

Biafra is the name of an ancient kingdom that once covered present day SS/SE and and Southern Cameroon. Nigeria is just a British colonial invention

'Biafra' was a name created by Africans, 'Nigeria' is a word created by the British.

Biafra represented the will of indigenous Africans to free themselves from an oppressive system, Nigeria was all about Europeans putting indigenous Africans into an oppressive system

Biafra has never had the chance to work, Nigeria has had 105 years to work and has proved be a monumental disaster

I would choose Biafra any day

I don't believe Biafra is an African word or term and neither was it coined by an Africa. Biafra is most likely coined by the slave traders to described. There was Bight of Biafra or alternatively called Bight of Bobby. Biafra as coined by the European slave traders is off the coast of Atlantic Ocean including a good part of Niger-Delta.

You folks are too misinformed or unenlightened. Do you know the number of militant groups in the US who are equipped and armed to the teeth. Even individuals like Louise Farakhan who continously call for dissolution of America can't just be arrested on flimsy excuse or verbal proclamation. The security agencies don't just run after individuals on the basis of words or verbal threat, especially their citizens. DSS did not gather any evidence before Sowore arrest and have no solid proof. They are just trying to cook up something. if you go back to last election campaign, Sowore had expressed willingness to meet Kanu to hear his views because he, Sowore, does not believe in modus operandi of Kanu even though he believe in his reasons for the clamour four Biafra. To Sowore, every Nigerian commoner are suffering from the same problem irrespective of tribe and if those problems are solved even Igbo people would love to remain part of Nigeria.

These politicians and the government don't know what they are doing. They are just afraid because the "zombies" may rise (ala Rise of the Zombies).

Stop the race hustling , in USA nobody is stopping you from being what you can be period.

What affected him is the same thing that affect most Nigerians. They don’t look ahead, stay in the present.

Example: A Nigerian business man whose making huge money in business would prefer to buy a G- wagon , instead of improving his business by reinventing or reinvesting.

Here again, someone who probably has never stepped out of the shore of Nigeria or let alone work in white-dominated society saying "in USA nobody stopped you from being what you can be". Is it the America you see in movies you think I am talking about? You don't have a clue about the American system. In all honesty no one can stop you from being whatever you want to be anywhere in the world but don't feed yourself the illusion that America is a place where all "dreams" come through. If so, you would be using water to fuel your car by now.

You claim most Nigerians don't look ahead, and as such Emeagwali is guilty of the same. This sound like your typical stereotype. This is not factual.

Your story on the Nigerian businessman that choose to buy a G-Wagon rather than reinvent the way be does business just prove another thing that most of you only focus on individuals that make the loudest noise even though they don't add value to your lives. For such unwise businessmen there are thousands others that are quietly finding new ways to reinvent their businesses. Sadly its a culture where you find yourself, most cant take the time to look deep.

I guess you don't know much about computers and how they work.
The answers to all your questions are no and you don't have a clue about what you are saying.

[qquote]

No. He never invented anything. The thing with invention is that they have a name and function
but Emeagwali cannot say what he invented and prefer obsfuscation instead.
Every piece in your PC has a name and those who invented them whether an individual or a company.

This must be the greatest joke I have read.
Supercomputers have been in existence decades before Emeagwali was born.
He did not invent supercomputers let alone the fastest because nobody can.

No.
He was a member of the team that came second in a Gordon Bell prize.
We don't even know if he made any meaningful contribution to the team.

Let me tell you a secret. If someone invents something, then don't go to the media.
They file and obtain patent first and other people in their field would recognize them.

Emeagwali's claim is just as laughable as someone coming up second in an Etisalat prize for literature and then declare
themselves the inventor of fiction.

Your response indicates, just as I mentioned before, that most of you have no clue about the issues you pretend to know about.

There is nowhere I said he invented supercomputer. What he did was to come with a way that a supercomputer could carry out a calculation faster than previously done with application in the oil industry.

Nothing wrong in going to the media especially if you find yourself in white-dominated society where Caucasians tend to "steal" ideas or inventions that other minorities come up with. You have no experience in this area so you can't to be an authority on this. Typically the media is dominated by white people and often they tend to ignore great things individuals from other races come up with.

Apparently you do not know what an invention is and the processes or requirements around it. It is not part of the culture in Nigeria so don't act as if it's an area you can lecture anyone, especially someone like me.

Even if one come second in a competition, does that take away the fact that what the individual came up with can greatly impacts humanity.

Go learn to read and comprehend issues and points raised in other people's comment before attempting a response. There is a difference between "he invented supercomputer" and "he invented a supercomputer that carried out ....". The later means what he actually invented is a function used in a supercomputer. So, since you are not familiar with the "art" you can easily misunderstand others viewpoints.

Literature › Re: The Trials Of Chris Abani And The Power Of Empty Words By Ikhide R. Ikheloa by ajl: 10:09am On Aug 18, 2019*

About Emeagwali, he might have exaggerated or taken advantage of his claims in order to benefit monetarily from it but let us ask these simple questions:

1. Did he ever invent anything that greatly impacts the way computer communicates?

2. Did he invent what's called a supercomputer that carried out the fastest calculation at some point?

3. Was he ever rewarded with one of the top awards in the computer science profession?

The answer to all these is YES. So, how is he a fraud? The only issue I have with him is that he should have focused more on coming up with new inventions rather doing a self-promotion that materially benefits him. If you have not worked at the highest technical position in the US or any white dominated society you will never understand some of the challenges he might have faced. If you are not ready to "kiss" asses or lie low in front of your "white-gods" they would try to get at you. He surely couldn't fund his research by himself and would need a university or an organization/company to do that until he can do so independently. I believe he was frustrated out of the system and that likely "killed" his career. I have done that and been there so I know what it could be like.

So most people who come up with this accusations don't have a clue how things work in the "world" they are focusing on.

Same thing I am thinking. The fact that he is Nigerian already make him potentially guilty in the eyes of Fifa committee. But what evidence do they have. I know anyone could get involved in this but where are the evidence or proof. I will advise him to appeal the verdict. Fifa itself is a straightforward organisation with a lot of skeletons in its cupboard. They are using a black man from a corrupt country as a scapegoat to give impression that they are fighting against their own demon.

Some people are talking about having a civil conversation as a way to engage Nigerian politicians as if we are newborn kids with no idea of their past. If you are critical of the people that carried out the attack then you do not love Nigeria or justice. People need to fight back against these oppressive politicians that pay themselves so much but are not having positive impact on the live of the masses. In Lagos where I am currently visiting, it's like there is no government. No rule of law or order with everything chaotic with wastes everywhere, even in their so-called highbrow area. Few days ago I saw a minibus with two men trying to keep a man lieing on the floor alive. There is no ordinary ambulance with trained personnel around to respond to such emergency. Its time to "beat" some sense into the head of these politicians as well as heckle their kids in foreign universities. Now they will start to think twice before traveling out of Nigeria.

Almost all the population in Denmark had bicycles, at 4pm I saw people with Suit and Ties riding their bikes home.
