Remove Emeagwali and Oyibo from that list pls. They are just intellectual fraudsters. Please read the article below:



Intellectual 419: Philip Emeagwali and
Gabriel Oyibo Compared
By Farooq A. Kperogi
Ask an average Nigerian to name the country’s most
famous scientists. In all likelihood, they would mention
“Dr.” (or “Professor”) Philip Emeagwali and Dr. Gabriel
Oyibo. This, in a way, is excusable ignorance.
After all, the great President Bill Clinton has been scammed
into undeservedly calling Emeagwali “one of the great minds
of the information age ” and the “Bill Gates of Africa.” And
such prestigious Western news organizations as TIME , CNN
and BBC fell for Emeagwali’s smartly orchestrated
intellectual fraud.
As for Dr. Gabriel Oyibo, he was for many years touted in
the Nigerian media as the great successor to Albert Einstein,
as a four-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics, and
as the inventor of the "almighty" GAGUT (God Almighty
Grand Unified Theorem), which he farcically calls “the
theory of everything.” On the basis of his comically
delusional intellectual fraud, Oyibo has been celebrated in
Nigeria as one of the greatest scientists that ever lived.
However, the elaborate intellectual fraud of Emeagwali and
Oyibo are now unraveling rapidly. SaharaReporters, the
enormously popular, muckraking diasporan citizen media
site, has done a series of exposés on the intellectual fraud
of Philip Emeagwali . At least two mainstream Nigerian
newspaper columnists have done the same in the last few
weeks. I'd had cause to call attention to the intellectual
chicanery of these characters in my July 15, 2006 Weekly
Trust column, then called “Notes from Louisiana,” which
can be found on this blog.
Oyibo and Emeagwali are certainly different in many
respects. But they are also similar in more ways than one.
First, Oyibo started out as a productive scholar who actually
published a number of peer-reviewed, scientific articles
before he degenerated into his current patently
psychoneurotic state (I will give evidence for my conclusion
shortly); Emeagwali, on the other hand, never had a Ph.D.,
is/was never a professor by any understanding of the
term, has never published in any peer-reviewed journal, nor
owned any patent—all contrary to his claims. However,
Emeagwali did win an actual award—the Gordon Bell Prize
— whose significance he has exaggerated beyond the
bounds of reason and decency.
Note, though, that Oyibo also claims to be a perennial
nominee for the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is pretty much
like Emeagwali 's fraudulent claims to being "a" or "the"
father of the Internet. The Guardian 's U.S. correspondent, a
certain Laolu Akande, is the biggest accomplice in Oyibo's
fraud. Until the last few years, the Guardian often reported
that Oyibo was among the top three candidates being
considered for the Nobel Prize in Physics. This intentionally
deceitful newspaper speculation was/is the basis for his
unearned popularity in Nigerian elite circles. I don't know if
this has changed, but when I was in Nigeria it was
customary to identify Oyibo in Nigerian newspaper
narratives as a "three-time Nobel Prize nominee in Physics."
In the Afro-romantic digital black diaspora, in fact, it is
usual to identify him as a four-time Nobel Prize nominee !
Now, the Nobel Committee does NOT disclose the identities
of the nominees for any of its prizes until at least 50 years
after the prize has been announced . How in the world
did Oyibo and the Guardian 's Laolu Akande know that Oyibo
was a nominee for the Physics Prize? In fact, Omoyele
Sowore, publisher of SaharaReporters.com and former
citizen reporter for the now tame and compromised
ElenduReports.com , unmasked this fraud years ago.
He sent emails to the Nobel Committee asking to know
if Oyibo had ever been a nominee for their Physics Prize. Of
course, they flatly disclaimed it. They said it was impossible
for anybody to know if he was a nominee for any Prize until
several decades after the fact.
So, in more ways than one, Oyibo is guilty of the same
intentionally fraudulent self-promotion that Emeagwali has
a dubious honor for. Like Emeagwali , he currently feeds on
this fraud since he, like Emeagwali, is effectively jobless
now. Plus, Oyibo stakes his claims to unparalleled scientific
genius on the basis of his ludicrously incoherent and insane
GAGUT theory, which hasn't been published in any peer-
reviewed scientific journal or book, although he has a
vanity, self-published book that he flaunts every time—
much like Emeagwali 's claims to having 41 patents, which
have turned out to be patents in sophisticated, intricately
multi-layered intellectual frauds.
But any one who has followed Oyibo 's life closely will agree
that the man needs help—seriously. The brother has lost it.
He has no job as I write now. He left the university system
as an untenured associate professor years ago. (Hmm....
Can you imagine a four-time Nobel Prize nominee in
Physics who no U.S. university or research institution
wants to touch with a barge pole?) If you need evidence of
Oyibo’s undisguised psychic imbalance, read his deleted
profile on Wikipedia , which he wrote of himself.
Here is a sample from the profile for your amusement:
“Honors and Awards: Professor G. Oyibo has been
recognized as being closer to GOD (intellectually and in
other ways), than any other human being because of the
GAGUT discovery. He has also been recognized by the
Nigerian Federal Government as Mathematical Genius
which was inscribed on a Nigerian Postage Stamp that was
issued in 2005. Professor G. Oyibo has also been
recognized as the Greatest Genius and the Most Intelligent
Human Being ever created by GOD. He has also been
recognized as the Greatest Mathematical Genius of all time.
Professor G. Oyibo has been recognized by the Nigerian
Senate, representing the entire population of Nigeria of over
200 million people, through a Senate Motion No. 151 page
320 presented in the Federal Republic of Nigeria Order
Paper on Tuesday, 15th March, 2005."
If the above is not proof of a man who is truly in need of
psychiatric help, I don't know what is.
But the greater concern for me, however, is that our hunger
for heroes has predisposed us to be easily susceptible to all
kinds of cheap intellectual frauds. By officially celebrating
Emeagwali and Oyibo, the Nigerian state has inadvertently
become an accomplice in intellectual 419. And by engraving
their images on our postage stamps, the Nigerian state has
unwittingly and permanently stamped deceit and false
pretenses (otherwise known as 419) on our national
consciousness—and on our international image. That’s a
shame.

sojas:
I just noticed on my Facebook timeline that same folks who are agitating for Biafra are all looking excited to comment on PDP rally in Bayelsa. If they are not doing that, they just look for an an-PMB post rebroadcast. I have stopped taken then serious to be fair.

MayorofLagos:
Hahahahaha...nwafor, you are funny!
We are changing the currency chump....economy has been diversified. Cocoa trades higher than gold in commodity market.

MayorofLagos:
I love reading your inputs.

They are desperate for international sympathy, which so far has not happened. They have to poke the tiger in its face, which is sure to draw blood and outpour of international coverage.

Outpour.of international sympathy has not stopped killings in Iraq or Syria, neither in Somalia or Mali. Ibos are suicidal.

DaBullIT:
So if FG paid 55m allocation to Aregbe it's aregbes' fault?

olami100:
I really don't still understand why @ this stage the igbos are clamouring for baifara! Is it becos none of the igbos leaders are occupying prominent position or what!! If the only reason why they want biafra is becos jonathan was dethroned then I think the igbos are bigot and tribalistic!!
The igbo leaders are second fiddle.. They are d caused of all this!! @ this time nigeria is saddled with bokoharam and what we need is comming together to win this war not one part segregating!! Coming out to initiate baifra only passage a message that.. Igbos are sentimental and tribalistic!!!

ademega:

this is your time enjoy till it lasts.

Buhari will change this country for good despite her challenges

commitcrime:
Hmmmmm


Since u want sincere mature advice. I ll oblige u.

You re a fool!

Your husband loves u so much that he dotes on u. All men would normally do that but men like me dated bitches so we transformed and became assholes.

If ur husband worships u. It is normal

It is left for u to take the obeisances in humility and reciprocate.

If u turn him into an asshole. Babe I promise u. You ve lost him forever.

P.S
I realise it is easy being an asshole than a gentleman

macof:
so bailout funds from ur own FG is begging? You be real mumu. When ur states have no direction what possible projects would you seek bailout for?

You read from a mad man

braine:
These people dont have respect for their elders who have openly denounced the movement.

maupe:
This is a big mistake by our President. He should have met with Hassan Rouhani, the President of Iran or Elham Aminzadeh, the female vice president. The Ayatollah is the worst person for a President to tie himself to. He has made countless inflammatory statements against the west, the US and the sovereignty of the Israel state. This time, our president got it completely wrong. What would our allies make of this.

babyfaceafrica:
what's the message..enlighten me

babyfaceafrica:
Only a Nigerian by name... a briton at heart

macof:
Another foolish statement. Who are the Hausas that took Kwara state?
and your children will keep growing up yorubanised like the many igbo children who speak yoruba better than Igbo.
Come and reside in sw. . U keep the economy growing while ur Se states remain in underdevelopment and ur daughters conceive little yoruba babies

realnews:
As far as Nigeria History is concern, Nnamdi Azikiwe is d greatest Igbo man that have ever lived. Because his influence is beyond Nigeria. His is respected by the whole of west Africa.

I know for IPOB people like you Nnamdi Kanu is d greatest Igbo man followed by Ojukwu.

realnews:
The is d problem with you. One of d reason you wont achieve Biafra. because of ur pride u make people who would have helped u achieve ur aim ur enemy.

You are going as far as insulting or reducing Nnamdi Azikiwe just to drive home ur emotional point.

If according to u Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu are d greatest Igbo men, that put Nnamdi Azikiwe as third greatest right?

But Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu are not from Onitsha.

Nnamdi Azikiwe is from Onitsha. That makes him the greatest Onitsha man in History.

So when it comes to Onitsha ,Nnamdi Azikiwe opinion of his history is d Authority.

realnews:
It is not a new claim. Nnamdi Azikiwe who is d greatest Igbo Man in Nigeria History also said Onitsha people are Bini
