Sighs in exhaustion. I don't know what else to tell you. You were the one who said I should research online now your changing your mouth and discrediting internet sources. Anyways forget about that aspect. Now here are some facts for you to read and apply your own common sense to.


Emeagwali received a $1,000[3] 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, based on an application of the CM-2 massively-parallel computer for computational fluid dynamics (oil-reservoir modeling). He won in the "price/performance" category, with a performance figure of 400 Mflops/$1M, corresponding to an absolute performance of 3.1 Gflops. The other recipient of the award, who won in the "peak performance" category for a similar application of the CM-2 to oil-related seismic data processing, actually had a price-performance figure of 500 Mflops/$1M (superior to what Emeagwali had achieved) and an absolute performance of 6.0 Gflops, but the judges decided not to award both prizes to the same team.[4][5]

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.

SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Emeagwali

I have copied, pasted and given you the source so that I will be sure that you read it this time and use your common sense. I have also posted other links before that talk about the scam behind the media acknowledgements in error which you are referring to if you care to read them and apply your common sense to judge the reliability and accuracy of their claims. The only recent link you will find where you get positive exaggerated accomplishments of the man is in his own website http://emeagwali.com/ (you can use what is written there to argue if you like). Talk about blowing your own trumpet. you need to stop deceiving your self about the man because he is a Nigerian. The facts are there for all to see, HE IS A SCAM. Believe what you like. Finally the top notches in the media and science world are not covering him up they have exposed him and you will see all the facts in THE LINKS I POSTED IF YOU ACTUALLY READ THEM. If you have a contrary opinion I challenge you to counter me with facts and evidence of you facts. Not hear say or your personal assumption or conspiracy theories. You can use lies from his own website if you like and watch me rip it to shreads with facts afterwards.

LemonBoy1: hahahahahahaha...av u ever tried 2 do a lil research on d list of awards he has recieved? U js read d piece disapproving dem nd u cncluded He's a fraud? Did u tk yo time to investigate weather he was actually given sm of those awards? Did u took yo time 2 browse d websites of dose organizations or groups that gave him d claimed award to c if he's name is in their brochure? Or is it js because he's a 9jerian so he's a fraud ( nd nt conspiracy theories as well) ? My advice, do sm bk ground checks (wonder y nigerians wil b soportin foriegners lyk ds), d internet is dia 4 u

I have given you facts and posted links for you to refer to!!!! What are you still asking me? Stop speculating sentimentally and back up your claims with facts and sources OK!!!

Does he have a PhD like he made everyone think? answer is no
The award that he claims to be the nobel prize of computer science is not the nobel prize of computer science. Its worth only $1,000. Whereas a noble prize is worth........ and so on. These facts are all in the links I posted. But obviously you have not read them nor done any research but just talking out of sentiments. If you reply by telling me to browse more and get more information than I have already given out without @ least trying to back up your claims with facts or sources then I will draw my own conclusion on your type of person and cease to further explain anything to you. ARGUE WITH FACTS GADDEM IT!!!!

LemonBoy1: arrant rubbish. Wat wil pipo nat say 2 ridicle a successfull person? Eh? There r facts dat Obama was nat born in US, dat his spending huge govt moni 2 bribe lawyers nd co, their r facts dat he had 2 forge d his DOB certificate wen d pressure was 2mch, there r facts dat he forged d death of Osama, dat he is illuminati chieftain etc all to ridicle his presidency, there r evn facts 2 ridicle Ribadu ( 80 million naira house in abj), js recently facts came out that Mikel Obi was illumiati...c'mon man, sm of dese crap r js 2 ridicle him. Do ur research properly, u'l knw more

My guy in as much as I would like to disbelieve those allegations, if not for anything but for the fact that the man is a fellow Nigerian and African. I cannot because the truth is that the man is a fraud. all those examples you are giving is not the same thing here. Those are all conspiracy theories most of which are false because there is no evidence to back them up. Having said that give any source where all the allegations against Dr Mr Philip Emeagwali has been disproved.

calebo101: Better shut up your mouth there, must you comment?? Nigeria is the most religious country in the world that on Fridays Muslims go to the mosque and on Sundays christians go to church. Does it not bothers you that in spite of all he religion you preach we are still one of the most corrupt countries in the world? Do you think that religion develops a nation?? Ask Nigerians. Open your gutter and spew rubbish. And na una sin pass. Mtchewwwwwwww, nor let me throw way my alomo ooo

Laff won kill me for here. . Thank you jare. We Nigerians could be so annoying with our religious extremism at times.

shol: Majority OF Nigerians Can't Use The Airport because they spend less than a dollar A day
This doesn't Put Food On The Majority Of Nigerians Table who can't afford a three square Meal
The Primary School Of The "Nigerian" Child still uses Chalkboard from the 90's(or say early 2000's) and Pit Toilet(Shalanga)
The Common Man Still have no access τ̅☺ intensive Health Care
I Saw an Emergency Bus got stocked in Traffic Last Friday (God Knows What Condition The patient was in, I pray he survives)

OP let's save that for some other time.

@ bolded. Just so you know the governor of the state also refurbished all government owned schools. I think the class rooms are even air conditioned. Last time I heard some work was going on in Benin central hospital. The man is trying no doubt, my only problem is the disgusting airport toilet floor.

That toilet floor just made me postpone my dinner. Anyways the airport looks better than the last time I saw it sha, but still this is a mediocre renovation though.

There is no need to be sentimental. As a matter of fact the IQ of the "average" Nigerian is generally low but that does not mean that Nigeria is devoid of highly intelligent people and geniuses. Having said that, I personally think that the IQ of most (not all) nairalanders is above the Nigerian and world average. Although there are some really dumb posters. Finally as for those making reference to Philip Emeagwali just so you know he has been discovered to be a fraud and a con man. See sources below if you like.

Hmmm not a bad deal. On another note why are Japanese men somewhat freaks with their sick sexual fetishes?

solomto: my brother once called her friend who was sick,he made the call around 12pm in d morning and her girl picked the call and the spoke about her health condition. Later he went to see her around 2pm bt saw people and her siblings crying,he asked what was wrong and they told him her girl just passed away around 8am that morning. Then who picked and spoked wt hm was wat he asked them which evrryone was perplexed.,he even showed them the call history., this is nt a movie bt a life experience that am aware of.
So,i never try calling any number of a dead individual.

What exactly are you saying here? it sounds interesting. I only wish you wrote in english or pidgin, but this language in know not!

Pain: Keep Doubting Fools!

I wonder why some humans are so selfish and self centered to think that we are the only intelligent species in the whole of the universe. My encounter with the Higher Beings dates back to High School (NM..)and I am certain about it. The earth was seeded by some fallen beings. They wanted total submission to them and they alone. They realized their folly when they realized that the very essence of Life they invoked in man emanated from and is infinitely connected with the Almighty God.

Ever since then, they have sought to eradicate mankind. It is only the intervention of the Sons of God that have kept the earth intact. What you may have witnessed is just a routine visit by the Guardians. God has since taken up and adopted man and will elevate each man to the higher realm after several cycles of experiential existence. For those who may want to criticize please be informed that i am not atheist. I believe in God.

It is only that he has been grossly misinterpreted and misrepresented by selfish men masquerading as messengers & priests over the ages. What most religious bigots don't know is that they are worshiping Satan who is the King of this Realm. He hands them riches and fame on the altar of false hope.

It is unfortunate that the Original Message of Yashua Son of the Most High God has been hijacked and bastardized by Merchants of Hope and GospelPreneurs for their own vain and crass gains. May God Almighty Open Our Eyes to See that he is not the Selfish Jealous & Intolerant God He is Being Portrayed by False Religions of Today. God is Love and IS GOD regardless of any praise or chants you make to HIM. He is OminiPotent and OmniSufficient

So what does all this have to do with flying saucers and UFO's? OP you try well well.

OP I have just one question. Why did you or your wife not take a picture or a video? liar liar...........

Stale news!

Mitt Romney also said that the US air force was older than it had ever been since it was founded in 1947. Well, duh. That was true in 1948 too. And every year since

davidylan: The majority of "God showed me" are false... most depending on their emotional and physical attraction than anything.. Has it ever occured to you to wonder why God seems to only show brothers the most beautiful sisters in the fellowship? How is it that God shows 10 brothers 1 sister as a wife? who is lying? God or the brothers?
How many brothers do you see receiving visions about an ugly sister?

What a coincidence that your post is just above mine. My thoughts exactly but I wanted to put it in a more subtle manner.

In the language of a "matured christain perspective" pray about it and if God thats what God wants he would also confirm it to you. In the language of "common sense" think about it and if you have mutual feelings for him then go ahead with it. Bottom line is that however you look @ it, in the end its all up to you.

LOl, . crafty Funny girl

Sleek05: Bros calm down. Take it easy wit urself, no1's fightin u...it can be painful @ tyms, jus let it go. LMAO

Yea thats true,discovering you have just wasted time with an arrogant dimwit can truly be painful. I guess i'll take your advise

Just the same way I get irritated when I try argue with a complete illiterate. Total waste of time as a result of their incurable stupidity. Abeg lemme sign out jor.

Sleek05: Lol. R u sure I failed 2 discredit it? Don't ever be 2 proud 2 learn child!

@ bolded the irony is that is that between the two of us you are the one that has exhibited both characteristics with your insults and denigrating responses to me. Which I find quite amusing because from the way you express yourself I can tell that you are no where close to how far I have gone or what I have accomplished in life outside NL. And as a result of this, I therefore conclude that you must be someone who should ideally in real life situations be under me in every ramification. That is why the conversation between me and you ends here. Goodbye for now till you grow up and attain the ability to measure up. I refrain from answering your reply.

Sleek05: A (sic) wudnt be added because d pidgin English was deliberately used, it is d commoners' way of communicating. It iznt bad grammar per say, @ least not in Nigeria. If d girl had said 'I gone 2 church' or 'she opening my eye', then u think they would have published it lyk dat? Her grammar would def have be refined in this article. Now do me one better, get a link 2 an article that left d marketwoman's or mechanic's grammar and I mean English, untouched and I'l rest my case!

As far as I am concerned i've made my point and you have failed to discredit it by superior argument. As for the bolded in your qouted post, google is your friend.

Sleek05: @chreld, I really don't bother witb baseless arguments but I thought I'd help u.
1. I did not say her comments were paraphrased, I said 'isn't DIA grammar corrected n paraphrased'?? I was talking generally abt interviewees. Some comments r paraphrased, some r corrected, some r both paraphrased and corrected. It all depends so u should learn to read well.
2. Whether her comments were in quotation marks or not, journalists/proofreaders wil never write bad grammar in their newspapers, if they have to, then a (sic) is put in front of d blunder. That's why I buttressed my point wit interviews wit marketmen, mechanics and co. Do dey speak flawless english? NO. R dere 'sic's in front of their blunders? No, dats evn laughable cuz I can't imagine how many sics u'l see. So wats my point? Whether paraphrased or in quote, d grl's account was corrected by the journalist that got the story from her. So next tym dear, jus sit n learn!

below is a quote from Ateke Tom during the amnesty programme published in the vanguard newspaper no October 2nd 2009.


“Make you try help us we the Ijaw people. Try commot us from this problem wey we dey get. Our arms we go drop am like me, I don promise I go drop my arms. Na im make I say make I try come see you talk all our problems dem, try solve am for us, that is why I dey here today”, he said..

SOURCE:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/10/amnesty-top-militant-ateke-tom-surrenders/

Now tell me where the [sic] was inserted in the above qoute. My point is that the girls account of what happened was written like as if it was transcribed exactly the way she narrated it. Which seems a bit advanced for a 13 year old. Thanks for your help! Now you help yourself.

Sleek05: Rly funny how some nairalanders think. This exact thing happened to someone in Bowen uni so if u won't believe until it happens 2a loved one, dats ur biz. She was dropped in front of d schl gate after a couple of days and dats y d security men no longer turn students back @ night which was d norm and to those dat r complainin abt her grammar, lyk serzly? D marketwomen, passersby that are interviewed in newspapers, do they speak flawless English? Iznt dia grammar corrected and paraphrased b4 its published. Some1 was even talkin abt her punctuations, when did d grl become a journalist? When did she start workin wit vanguard? Abi she'l write her ordeal and twil be published immediately without proofreadin. Rly I thnk sm ppl shld think before postin.

If her comments were paraphrased they would not be in quotation marks. Haven said that I think you are the one who should think before posting! assuming you know what quotation marks are meant for.

drzed: Abi? The story is too dramatic. And what I find most intriguing is the quality of English being used by this 13 year old, to express herself in the article (script) above.

Check these sentences out for example:

"Although we were blindfolded, yet, I was able to see a bit of what was going on. They decided Sunday would be my turn when they would conclude their rituals"

And this one...

"As a member of the drama group, we usually hold drama rehearsals every Tuesdays. So, it was co-incidental that the members of the group were there at that time".

There is something fishy here. How many graduates of today can express themselves with grammar of such quality? The flow, the punctuation, and vocabulary (e.g. "conclude their rituals"; "it was co-incidental"; etc) are not attributes you'd find in the written or spoken languages of typical 13 year olds.

We are here in Nairaland everyday and we see how both teenagers and even adults struggle to express themselves on common issues. Now, a 13 year old has used flawless grammar to narrate a story about kidnap and rituals. Hmmmm.....

I have been known to be wrong before anyway, but I am just saying. The story (and English) is too much like a script or what freecocoa termed as being "nollywoodish".

Anyhow, we thank God. The whole thing ended happily.

Just read this, my thoughts exactly.

First thing that came to my mind when i read the story is that her vocabulary and descriptive ability seems a tad advanced for a thirteen year old. The story sounds made up. I could be wrong though
