TRASH


[s]

TheOtherview:
One of my earlier posts on the same subject, right here on NL

This is not a particularly difficult task if you are prepared to spend time trawling through earlier revisions of his web site: http://wayback.archive.org

The simple truth is, Brother Philip was never awarded a PhD, and certainly does not hold a Professorship at any college
He was/is an exceptional brilliant scientist, and this is not in dispute. But it is also true to say he has displayed a penchant for stretching credulity or at the very least, allowing others to do so, on his behalf, over the years.

A friend of mine who authored a book on black inventors wrote to him ahead of publication, to verify facts concerning his public biography several years ago.
Did he see fit to issue any clarification on the points that have since maligned his otherwise scholarly reputation? No!
Just think about the number of similar opportunities not seized, to clear up erroneous assumptions which were later to take on a life form. . .

At a certain level, I actually do feel sorry for him.
Our quest for heroes often creates personality cults that eventually subsume the very object of affection, so I understand how he might also have missed some of the warning signs.
The internet was markedly different back in the 90s, that he possibly might not have foreseen the era of drive-by critics (detractors) who, for good or bad, leave no stone unturned.

Still, it needs to be said that posterity would probably have been less ambivalent in its appraisal; if only he had he adopted a clearer road map – motivational speaking and/or academia and/or author and/or poet – in earlier years.

Here is the question you need to ponder over: at what point are you prepared to call a spade a spade?

Shut up animal, was that why an average imo state girl is a runs girl? Was GEJ responsible for the brothels that are all over owerre? Was GEJ responsible for the I.diot called okorosha not being able to attract a single investor for 4yrs? Useless people

Abagworo:
Rochas Okorocha suffered a lot of obvious victimization under Jonathan. Lagos and Ogun were not treated so because Jonathan wanted their votes. Did Jonathan send Olamide to snatch mic from Fashola? We all know what happened. Buhari's victory freed Imo State from deliberate victimization.

My guy you are just too much. Emeagwali is among the best brains in the world.

imhotep:
^ Go and read. Quota system education is bad for Nigeria.
Search for a book titled "Making it in America", written by an American.
Go to page 110 . . .

Abagworo what is okorosha doing about the Ikwerre-type slums that litters all over owerre? Do u want picture confirmation?

Whoa! Emeagwali is Africa's greatest asset!

You should be ashamed of urself u clown. Why not bother urself with the shanties and ikwerre type houses that litters owerre.

Abagworo:
I started using that term in reference to a peculiar kind of mostly 3 and 4 storey buildings that characterise Southeastern cities. Surulere in Lagos has a lot of such buildings. Ordinarily it is a good thing but it is not pleasant as a result of lack of homogenity and space making the cities look like South American slums.

I am only making suggestions that we should build them to look more appealing and then build real skyscrapers to give the real city feel.

They thought they knew more than oyibo

imhotep:
Bill Clinton does not spread baseless rumors like so many ofe mmanu people on Nairaland.

B.astard you are wanted on this thread. Silly goat!

Donatus, now we are done here. Now leave. One more mention of my name then your pictures with your big head and ragtag coat will start flying on the imo thread. Don't start....or I forgot you know how me and you roll!

[s]

emmysoftyou:
i am not segregating myself bro..

I guess this thread that is set up for enugu thread,imo thread and anambra thread is causing disunity among ndigbos in the east..

I ve not seen a yoruba thread that is set up or that open a thread for his/her particular kinsmen to comments.?

Ndigbos frm the east has a long way to go cos i ve seen a different kind of aptitude ball game here.
i am so ashamed of all this tracks that couldnt set the record straight to unity and love..

Though discussing or interracting on issue like development and social/political factors or issues affecting their state aint bad at all
but whenever someone like chino took all their comments/views personally,the non igbos on nairalands,will troop in and see how disorganised igbos re lol.
May God help us......

[/s]

Donatus, he is a b.astard and should becstoned to death. you better start living with the harsh truth or you will keep hurting yourself.

emmysoftyou:
you re something else nwanne chino,
why calling him a derogatory name like that.do u know the meaning of that word you term him?eventhough he said sth like that;why not counter his points with your own views but because yu dont like him,
yu always want to insults and called him derogatory names.
Has he ever one day,calls you a bstard b4?i guess no..
But oneeast,yu re too old for all this childish act..i swear..
I see you everyday in anambra/imo thread insulting your brothers frm the same east called biafra lol..

everyone has the right to comments here and there in as much the op of this thread did not restrict it to anambra thread only..
He open it for nairalanders to comments both igbos and non igbos...

So we should learn to respects others views and if the person's views does not align with your own view then ignore him/her than calling the him/her a bstard,f00lish and stwpid..

Na wa o..we don pass am abeg...

Stop crying. You do not have more information than Americans who called him the father of internet. Even Clinton has more information when he called him Africa's greatest mind.

Philip Emeagwali – Genius or Crook?
There’s been much news going on about the so called great Nigerian scientist “Philip Emeagwali” but unfortunately, most of them are untrue. Emeagwali has been virtually worshipped buy Nigerians and others around the world based on false information which has led to his face appearing on a postage stamp and him being voted the 35th greatest African of all time by the “New Africa Magazine”.

This thread is aimed correcting most of these untrue claims by Emeagwali.

Philip Emeagwali not Dr. Philip Emeagwali
Firstly, Emeagwali has been wrongfully quoted by newspapers and even on his site as being a “Dr.” But this is an actual fallacy because he does not have a PhD, though he enrolled for a PhD program at the University of Michigan he did not get the degree because he failed the qualification examination twice but still he seems parades himself around as a “Dr.”.

Emeagwali did not win the Nobel Prize
Emeagwali has not in any way won the Nobel Prize nor its equivalent as reported by many and on his self promoting website, the only prize ever won by Emeagwali is the Gordon bell prize in 1989 worth $1,000 which he and his Mobil team won for their application of the Connection Machine – 2 supercomputer in oil-reservoir modelling.

Emeagwali did not built the fastest computer of 1989
The fastest computer of 1986 is the FSU which ran at 10.3GFLOPS while the connection machine which Emeagwali wrote a program to on for which he and his team won the Gordon Bell prize in prize/performance ratio, ran at 3.1GFLOPS, this machine was designed by Danny Hills and built by Thinking Machines Corporation and not by Philip Emeagwali as he wrongfully claims on his website and in press interviews.

Emeagwali is not the father of the internet.
Emeagwali claims that he rearranged the 65,536 processors of the Connection Machine so that they were arranged in a 3-dimentional Hypercube network and that his invention was the technology that spawned the internet. This is again another false claim by Philip Emeagwali because the connection machine was originally designed with a Hypercube Network and it was long known arrangement. Also, there is nothing liking Emeagwali with ARPA, DOD or any other research organization that was connected with the birth of the internet.

Emeagwali does not have any patents or inventions.
Emeagwali has been credited with so many inventions, most of them hilarious and he also claims to have as much as 30 patents and 50 patent applications but a search on USPTO which has an online database of patents since 1976 shows the true number to be zero. The only time Emeagwali’s name has appeared in any scientific journal of any kind is when he and his Mobil team won the Gordon Bell Prize in 1989.

There are many more baseless rumours flying around Nigeria which are completely baseless, dumb and humorous but are surprisingly widely believed. I’ll try to list some of them here. They are:

Emeagwali created windows but Bill Gates Stole his invention.
There is an “Emeagwali street” somewhere in the US.
Emeagwali is the most booked man for an appointment in the World.
Emeagwali is currently creating a teleportation machine.
Emeagwali wrote an equation to show how sperm swims in semen.
Emeagwali is the brain behind Microsoft.
www.emeagwali.com is the oldest website on the internet.


We Nigerians have to stop kidding ourselves over a self pompous and highly over exaggerated man who has accomplished close to nothing but writes a website about himself and fills it up with lies. While the armature media we have in this country swallows everything they hear without scrutiny.

Emeagwali is a genius. Onitsha indigenes are the most educated breed of Igbos. From the great Zik to Chike Obi to Akpamgbo to Mbanefo to Asika and the list goes on and on..

What is all these Osun, Osun that? Is imo state not owing its civil servants over 10 months salaries?

I dey wonder why people singled Osun state out while Imo State is owing its workers over 13 months salaries.

Nwanne the thing tire me oo. Let him take his annoyance and frustration to his useless state, we are not interested in their shanties! Lolzz

Unemadu:
Abagworo is just angry with ikwere shanties so he's taking it out on others. Forgive him

Abagworo from the report Imo State is among the financially distressed states. That is what u get when a known b.astard abokii is rulibg a state.

Abagworo is a well known pauper in Borokiri area of PH. Even at his old age he is still putting up with his old poor mother. Abagworo's only pain is because only ikwerre-type-houses litters owerre. I know that dude and his mindset more than u all.

Abagworo shebi you say you have money and also rich,why.not go and build high rises in owerri and set and eg to others iinstead of all these lamentations about igbotic houses that has nothing to do with what I earlier posted about

Fool, read it again. The girl is from imo state. Imo state is the Nigeria's head quarters of prostitutes.

What is okorosha doing about this ugly trend?

You cannot talk about prostitution without talking about imo state because that is the only area of the economy they have absolute advantage.

Abagworo:
Ozoemena is not even a name borne in Imo State. Odoemele, Odoemela, Ozoemela, Ozoemele. We all need to help reduce prostitution. Your level of love for anything prostitution shows you are a grand patron in that field. Change! for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Expanding brothel and chalet economic base of imo state is the only way to improve imo state's IGR.

How do u expect imo state IGR to grow beyond the coins they are collecting now when the state has none existent economy except few brothels? Let okorosha build more brothels.

Abagworo:
The only source of revenue for a State is taxation. Ability to establish transparent and effective tax regime is equal to increased IGR. Do you hav e any idea on how to increase tax base without rapid influx of direct investments either foreign or local? I believe that now APC is in power at federal levels, foreign investors will have confidence in Imo State.

He is not going off point. What is the action plan on the ground for the economic development of imo state rather than trading on prostitution?

Abagworo:
You are going off topic. I addressed the picture as a separate issue. Igbos believe in investing wherever they earn most. They fail to realise the damage it does to their homeland.

We do appreciate what we have, it is low esteemed people like abagworo who believes that he is nothing because of the fact that he has inferiority complex. We are a people with pride. The sort of block of residential flats built in some parts of Onitsha and Enugu remains the most majestic and beautiful all over Nigeria. If u have gone around Nigeria u will confirm this.

Igbonazy:
This attitude of praising another mans land is very common among igbos. You hardly hear us praise Enugu or Imo.
Listening to igbo radio station online can be very depressing ( for us lovers of igboland atleast), with the sadistic and grumpy presenters reminding us how beautiful is everywhere aside igboland is: obodo oyibo marun ma, ndi yoruba mara akwukwo,ndi ugwu na ako ugbo ofuma etc lol

What is okorosha doing to stem this ugly trend? Build more brothels for recruitees? How many people will be recruited before okorosha do something?

How I Started Prostitution At The Age 12

Blessing Ozoemena
I was 12 years old and still in primary school when the enemy started working on how to destroy me, but God did not permit him. Then the enemy projected in me the spirit of stealing. He also projected the spirit of stubbornness in me. I began to steal in my school. I used to steal pencil, biro and so on. Sometimes, they would apprehend me and the teachers would report me to my father, who would pay for the biro and then flog me. I did not change from this behaviour and for this reason, my father disowned me. Thereafter, I went to live with my mother and step father.
Later, a friend of mine took me to Owerri, the Imo State capital where she introduced me to the life of prostitution. She deceived me because she told me that she was taking me to a company where I would work, but when I got here I realized that it was to work as a call girl. There at Owerri, I learnt how to smoke cigarette.

http://chosennews.net/testimony/how-i-started-prostitution-at-the-age-12/#Heaven

If Owelle bans keke, he will invest more in brothels that way more women will be recruited and more employment created.

asha80:
banning
keke in owerri is just laughable..how does doing that generate revenue for imo govt?we are talking about generating revenue to run the state due to financial state of the country at the moment you are talking beauty and igbotic houses?so what is the alternative to keke after it had been banned?taxi?in owerri ?are you insane?

Before you sink your mind into tinubu model for Imo what has the present Imo govt done to expand the tax base of the state?
