That's good, I think.

But I just wonder if we in Africa can ever do anything by ourselves without involving the whites.

Chinese, Germans, Americans, Russians, Britons, etc.

What's wrong with us? Are we truly monkeys?

Still searching for the beauty... Let us see her shape first, before you give us one shapeless woman as most beautiful

With this shape, she cannot pass for the most beautiful girl in my village

Too bad we still dont know that it is the western nations led by US sponsoring Boko Haram. Where do you think that the six mine-resistant armoured vehicles recently captured in Taraba were being smuggled to? And yet we ceremoniously gave them back to the US. Our problem is that we are afraid of the western nations

And that was the only list you saw from the post abi and if even if it is dominated by politicians why would Achebe always come before or rank higher than our Nobel winner Wole Soyinka.

That Sikiru Adepoju won a Grammy doesn't make him the greatest musician from Nigeria, in the same vein that Soyinka won the Nobel prize doesn't make him the greatest literary mind from Africa.

In all these lists, Achebe ranked higher than Soyinka, why? Even if some might not be in a defined order, why must his name be mentioned first before Soyinka.

We are talking of Philip Emeagwali- The bill gate of Africa

I know its paining you. But still take it easy!!!


If Philip Emeagwali was a liar etc then why did his committee award the Gordon Bell prize to him.

Rumxy:
Maybe you should try googling these names too;
Emmanuel Nwude
Invictus Obi
Philip Emeagwali
Tobechi Onwuhara
Osisikankwu


Be honest to yourself, are these Yoruba inventors you listed above and the Igbo inventors I listed any where close to Philip Emeagwali in worldwide fame and acclaim?

Till you name one Yoruba that comes close, don't quote me again.

Plz take your time but this time read and read inbetween lines and come back to me.

Oga, Philip Emeagwali's work in computer science and mathematics is far far greater than all these achievements and records you listed here. His works made a very big impact in the world today and every living being in this world benefits one way or the other from his invention. Oga what do you benefit personally from Adenuga, Alakija, Adeboye, Oyedepo or even Wole Soyinka etc even as a Yoruba. Even all these first this first that (from Igbo, Yoruba or any other tribe) are absolutely nothing if it doesn't benefit Nigeria talk more of the world.
Till a Yoruba invents something that will highly impact the world positively, the igbos lead you for now because of Philip Emeagwali.
