Shepherd00:Leave the guy jare... He no born nothing |
charliboy654:Leave that thing nigga |
Shepherd00:Exactly the POINT |
Isinweke:Issorite |
Shepherd00:As in eh |
Isinweke:We are talking about uk |
budaatum:That's what the white man wants you to believe |
charliboy654:I just quoted a SOURCE |
Timmypromise:Will they ever agree that a black man brought innovation to the new way of computing? |
Isinweke:Your opinion though |
If you are reading this on your phone, tablet or computer – Nigeria born Philip Emeagwali made that possible. Philip Emeagwali figured out how to combine multiple computers into what we now know as the new internet/super computers. It’s just that simple. Time Magazine, in an article back 2007 (link is a few paragraphs below), admits that Emeagwali alone came up with the formula to allow many computers to communicate to each other at the same time. Which is basically the internet as we know it. “The Internet as we know it today did not cross my mind,” Emeagwali told TIME. “I was hypothesizing a planetary-sized supercomputer and, broadly speaking, my focus was on how the present creates the future and how our image of the future inspires the present.” ~ from the Time article As you read this article and research further, you will see that this Igbo (Hebrew) from Biafra Nigeria arrived at his place in history, at least in part, on his study of nature, specifically bees. Emeagwali saw an inherent efficiency in the way bees construct and work with honeycomb and determined computers that emulate this process could be the most efficient and powerful. In 1989, emulating the bees’ honeycomb construction, Emeagwali used 65,000 processors to invent the world’s fastest computer, which performs computations at 3.1 billion calculations per second. ~ http://www.black-inventor.com/dr-phil… Many sites will try very hard to down play him, but when you look at the sources and facts… it is pretty clear. Just as when crediting Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb, nobody says “well Ben Franklin invented electricity..”, it is just that simple when you read up on Emeagwali and his invention of the internet. So it is incorrect to begin an article on Emeagwali and the internet by saying “…computers were sending signals to each other as early as the 1950s.” ~ Time Magazine Which, in my opinion, minimizes the credit he deserves for his hard work on something that absolutely changed the world. Because those computers could not all talk to each other simultaneously. Philip Emeagwali’s formula made that possible. This is the “internet”. He even coined the name internet and explains why he called it so. ~ http://www.emeagwali.com/biography/Ph… But Time magazine did go on to say: “…the Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a math whiz who came up with the formula for allowing a large number of computers to communicate at once.” ~ Time Magazine Read the entire Time Magazine article here http://content.time.com/time/specials… For earning a spot in the history of computing, the Nigerian postal service has issued a commemorative set of stamps in 50-naira (US$0.39) and 150-naira (US$1.17) denominations. Both stamps went on sale on January 18, 2006, at the dedication and the “First Day of Issue” ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria . Do your own research, but as for the internet…and how you will most likely do your research…. he did that! https://ebeanonews..com/2019/05/african-nigeria-born-philip-emeagwali_31.html

As Churches Outnumber Pubs in the UK, RCCG is now the largest Pentecostal Denomination. Researcher Peter Brierley writes that “there are now more church buildings than pubs in UK, according to recent figures announced last month by the National Churches Trust.” Existing churches in UK have been joined in the last 25 years or so by others coming from West Africa, the “reverse mission” churches, like the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Potters House Christian Fellowship, Mountain of Fire Ministries, Church of Pentecost, and others. Many of these are starting new churches. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, the RCCG, for example, has started over 800 churches in the UK since 1993, led by a man with clear vision and effective strategy, Pastor Agu Irukwu. His 4,000- strong Church of All Nations in Brent, West London, adopted the mantra “a church within 10 minutes walking distance.” That comes straight out of the Nigerian bush country (Villages) where no one goes to church by car or taxi. It is effectively the “parish” system used by the three largest denominations, but the RCCG pursue it energetically: “You live near us, come and join us, you’ll enjoy it, we are warm and lively, and you haven’t far to go.” Many respond; the RCCG is now the largest Pentecostal denomination in the UK. Peter Brierley runs the Brierley Consultancy, a research initiative designed to strengthen church leadership https://ebeanonews..com/2019/05/churches-outnumber-pubs-in-uk-rccg-now.html

An Abuja high court has granted an order of interim forfeiture of 29 properties in different locations of the federal capital of Nigeria worth about N8.8billion to the government. The Independent and Corrupt Practices and Other Related Commission (ICPC) applied for the interim forfeiture of the properties through an ex-parte motion. 27 respondents were listed on the motion including Shehu Yaradua Foundation, while others are companies. ICPC counsel, Osuobeni Akponimisingha said the twenty-seven respondents had denied ownership of the properties, in order to evade tax liabilities on the properties. “The immovable properties have been confirmed unclaimed by preliminary investigation activities conducted by the applicant,” Akponimisingha said. He said that the properties were alleged to have been acquired with proceeds of crimes. Akponimisingha said the respondents may likely sell off the properties to unsuspecting members of the public if the court does not order the temporary forfeiture. In an affidavit attached to the motion by one Iliya Markus, an official of ICPC, the court was told that the commission received a petition from the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) about unclaimed properties allegedly acquired in the names of the respondents. He said the petition had contained an initial 31 immovable properties but upon publication of notice on two national newspapers regarding the properties, two companies came forward to claim two of the properties. The presiding judge, justice Husseini Baba-Yusuf said the court was satisfied with the argument of the ICPC counsel. “An interim forfeiture order is hereby made,” Baba-Yusuf ruled. The judge thereafter fixed September 23 as the return date. https://ebeanonews..com/2019/05/court-orders-forfeiture-of-n88bn-worth.html
