No doubt. But Chinua Achebe is the Greatest African Author of All Time

Ok I won’t argue again. I’m tired!

Makuos19:
Who called them Bill Gate Of Africa
Bill Clinton And CNN refered Emeagwali as the Bill Gate of Africa & Father Of the Internet. Or who is more poweful than Bill Clinton & CNN

Are you okay at all? Who is CNN and when does CNN start granting institutional titles to people.

But you’ve been on here shouting bill gate of Africa all about and I showed you other bill gates of Africa and you’re telling me I should go and check Bill Clinton statement.

Makuos19:
Hahaha,
You came late!!!
Go back and read through all that has been posted to show u guys are far below!!!

Below in what? If they ask you now you will go and find an article that placed Achebe on top of Soyinka and use that as your “far above”.

Just like saying Salah is better than Ronaldo because he got the golden boot. Does that even make sense to you.

Wole Soyinka the only black man with a Nobel laureate other than the peace price. Come back here when any Igbo man dead or alive achieve that feat and stop disturbing us with jargons online.

Makuos19:
Hahahaha, dont know why you have given your self to hate!!!
Who called him Bill Gate Of Africa
Bill Clinton The then President of The Powerful Nation On Earth called Philip Emeagwali The Bill Gate Of Africa While CNN called him The father Of Internet
Well, keep on hating

Another article here describing two young Nigerians bill gate of Africa! Your problem is that you don’t actually know what you are saying!


Can you see you are really not okay now? We already had like four bill gates from Africa now

There are numerous articles online where they call people acclaim bill gates of Africa. It’s just a form of praise for them and not an institutional title.

Makuos19:
Oga i thought u claim u are intelligent. Is Bill Gate of Ghana thesame thing with Bill Gate Of Africa
And what stops you from going online to write your hate article

You’ve been gallivanting about shouting about bill gate of Africa like that is a title.

Below are some articles where the Ghanaian man is called Bill gate of Africa.

Stop exhibiting toddler mentality on Nairaland like someone still in the process of writing Jamb. Anybody can go online and write bill gate of Africa on any engineer’s name, that is not an institutional title it’s just a form of praise which bears no meaning!

Makuos19:
Am i the one that called him the Bill Gate of Africa or it is the world that recognize him that called him that

See below. The man below is called the bill gate of Ghana. I can go online, write an article, and call an engineer a bill gate of Nigeria or Africa.

Why are you reasoning like a toddler bro!

Makuos19:
Thats why he is called 'The Bill Gate Of Africa'

What is his invention for him to be bill gate of Africa? Do you even know what you’re talking about?

Do you know about Silas Adekunle, the highest paid robotic engineer in the world?

Do you know he built the first ever Augmented reality gaming robot ?

Should I then proceed to call him Steve Jobs of Africa?

Rumxy:
Take note I never mentioned that he discovered the internet.

At Michigan, he participated in the scientific community's debate on how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs using a supercomputer. Growing up in an oil-rich nation and understanding how oil is drilled, Emeagwali decided to use this problem as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. Borrowing an idea from a science fiction story about predicting the weather, Emeagwali decided that rather than using 8 expensive supercomputers he would employ thousands of microprocessors to do the computation.

The only step left was to find 8 machines and connect them. (Remember, it was the 80s.) Through research, he found a machine called the Connection Machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which had sat unused after scientists had given up on figuring out how to make it simulate nuclear explosions. The machine was designed to run 65,536 interconnected microprocessors. In 1987, he applied for and was given permission to use the machine, and remotely from his Ann Arbor, Michigan, location he set the parameters and ran his program. In addition to correctly computing the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.

The crux of the discovery was that Emeagwali had programmed each of the microprocessors to talk to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time.

The success of this record-breaking experiment meant that there was now a practical and inexpensive way to use machines like this to speak to each other all over the world. Within a few years, the oil industry had seized upon this idea, then called the Hyperball International Network creating a virtual world wide web of ultrafast digital communication.

The discovery earned him the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet. Since then, he has won more than 100 prizes for his work and Apple computer has used his microprocessor technology in their Power Mac G4 model. Today he lives in Washington with his wife and son.

@the bolded was the invention that became the foundation for supercomputers. You shouldn't expect him to be among the fastest computer inventors you mentioned because that was 30 years ago.The world have moved past that stage but it still doesn't make his discovery irrelevant. Charles Babbage is regarded as the father of computer today not because we still use his analytical engine but because he laid the foundation for today's computer.

Thanks for your contribution, you have clearly shown what he did is just to improve processes which is a continuous form of knowledge. Before Emegwali there have been numerous researchers in the field of microprocessors and after Emegwali there are countless researchers that have modified that field.

Like you opined, what he was able to achieve helped in the Oil exploration field and no one is disputing the fact.

Can you see how you explained this, other people have a fixated mind of thinking Emegwali actually was an inventor of Internet because some articles called him the father of Internet.

If many Igbos are like you, then it would have been nice. No one is disputing the fact that Emegwali contributed to knowledge in that field, but the Crux of the matter is that some people are adducing too much to him especially those with limited knowledge about how research works.

For example Silas Adekunle, a Yoruba guy was known to have released the world’s first augmented reality gaming robot, with the special ability to customise the gaming bot to perform personalised functions. As at 2018, he was the highest paid robotic engineer in the world.

While he pioneered the gaming robot, it will be ignorant for us to say he was the father of robot coz people have been doing robotic engineering even before he was born and people are still doing it till now even more than his capacity.

Gracias bro

PureFace1:
That guy is a retard

I already stopped replying to him. Coz it’s evident he’s just trolling

Rumxy:
I am not talking about invictus obi here. No tribe has monopoly of crime in Nigeria. Every tribe is involved in crime. Come to think of it , if all the politicians invest their stolen wealth in Nigeria and create employment like Invictus Obi did, would anybody complain. So leave Invictus matter

What is even the crux of the matter. Based on what you posted, Emegwali did what most doctoral student always do, which is to add to knowledge and improve processes.

He did not invent any internet, all he did was to use the Los Alamos National laboratory connecting machine to increase that particular machine (computer) microprocessors speed.

What exactly is his invention other than improving the processes already in place. I’m willing to learn from you!

Presently we have what is called the K computer that can calculate 10 quadrillion per seconds which exceeds what was stated there about philips. This was in 2012.

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2012/02/12/general/10000000000000000-calculations-per-second/#.XaMr7SUpCaM

After some years, that will also be modified to calculate more than that.

Currently these are the list of fastest computers and Philip’s is no where to be found in top 5. So what exactly are you guys taking about?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.networkworld.com/article/3236875/embargo-10-of-the-worlds-fastest-supercomputers.amp.html

Makuos19:
Oga, is it an igbo man that own CNN

This is a CNN report if you like believe, if you like don't believe

http://edition.cnn.com/fyi/interactive/specials/bhm/story/black.innovators.html

https://www.famousscientists.org/15-famous-black-scientists-in-history/

So what is this list you posted? The list that are full of politicians as greatest Africans is what you’re using as a measure of importance or intellect.

Obasanjo and George Weah is even also included in the list and I don’t have a choice but to question your sanity!

Makuos19:
Yet he is below Chinua Achebe...why
https://www.risingafrica.org/storiescountry/world/top-5-most-influential-african-authors-of-all-time/

Below Achebe in what? What are you even saying self.

Wole Soyinka is below Achebe based on which metrics. I’m listening!

Even the link you posted just listed 5 of African authors in no definite order and Wole is also part of it.

What exactly are you saying and what is the essence of the link you posted?

Are you okay at all?

PureFace1:
You never for once think a Yoruba man will outsmart you in any endeavor but Chinua Achebe died knowing he was below Wole Soyinka and the whole Igbo race have been crying on behalf of Wole Soyinka since then

Not only below, Wole Soyinka is a Nobel laureate in literature. He is the only black African descent to have a Nobel price in a category other than peace.

The rest are Nobel peace price holder which is just to recognize their humanity but Nobel price in literature is a recognition of Wole’s work and contribution to knowledge and it is a feat that no black African was able to break except Wole.

Typical gorilla ape


No Nobel Laurette

Richest black men you are no where to be found

Grammy awards you don't have



The only thing you can do is make noise noise like typical gorillas


Nigerians went to school in Europe and performed better than europeans in the same class.

Does that make Nigerians better than Europeans?


It is just like saying because Europeans don't come to schools in Nigeria but Nigerians attend schools in Europe and perform very well, Europeans can't compete with Nigerians

We have the best institutions in Nigeria in our region unlike the backward institutions in your region, and that explain why you are coming to South West institutions just like Nigerians going to institutions in Europe because of their best institutions.

But you want Yoruba to come and study in your backward institutions when we have the best institutions in our region that you are even trooping to.


Yoruba have never thought of Igbo as Competition in fact we regard you as barbarians and uncivilized humans, we regard you as less humans and that's why we avoid your region because we can't afford to live in the midst of barbarians and uncivilized humans.

You even have time to reply him. I know a lot of Nigerians topping their classes in USA uni and also emerging best graduating students.

Does that meant Nigerians are more intelligent than the USA combined?

I already gauged the guy intellect, that was why I don’t reply to his jargons.

Rumxy:
If it was in the UK, I might believe you but in the US, I don't think so unless you show me a proof. Until then its a big lie especially being the most employed in corporate America.

I mean the most employed Nigerians in corporate America. That is a fact I want anyone on here that is Igbo living in USA to disprove.

I’ve worked in different companies here, each companies have something like an employee network portal where you can see people employed all around the branches of the companies. Most from Nigeria are Yorubas, followed by Igbos and Edo.

If you go to universities here and you’re studying masters, the Yorubas dominate the Nigerian population in most schools. At least there are lot of Nigerians on Nairaland USA student thread that should be able to testify to that.

Makuos19:
I don’t have time to be listing our education or industrial progress...if i do, you might end up harming yourself!!!

Those Igbos with an advanced IQ than yours already conceded defeat on that thread. So I care less what a toddler like you thinks.

Gracias!

Makuos19:
All these ones na stories!!!

U nothing to prove!!!

I don’t think I have time for you this morning. I don’t discuss with kids.

Bye

Makuos19:
E pain am again

Do you have people schooling in the USA or working in corporate America?

The Yorubas are the most populous Nigerians in USA universities and we are the most employed Nigerians in corporate America. I challenge any Igbo on here to dispute the fact.

In NSBE (National society of black Engineers) conferences in USA, the Yorubas are part of the main recruiters for Shell, Visa, Intel, Microsoft, Deloitte, etc.

Makuos19:
Lol,
Keep showing me nairaland Tribalistic link!!!

Boy, those that are superior to you in terms of intelligence and reasoning capabilities already alluded to the fact that the Yorubas are not to be compared to anybody in this Nigeria. We are second to none.

I don’t have time to be listing our education or industrial progress on a politics thread.

Read that link, it showcase the industries of the Yorubas and our achievement as a tribe.

Your Igbo brothers opened their own first and the Yorubas have to open ours as a counter thread. Read it and come back here to say what you said earlier again.

Makuos19:
Lol,
I have shown you international evidence and you are giving me Nairaland link that is filled with Afonja hates


Meanwhile, Take it or leave it, the igbo free-spirit and culture push them to be successful in all aspect of life has always been the driving tool to their success in life. They've always learnt to be forward thinkers and how to manipulate through obstacles to be successful. An average igboman doesn't want to be seen as a failure nor as a never-do-well. That's why he'll stay away from his family members to try and make it before returning home. Igbos are always driven by the passion to be on top and never be ruled over. That's a sound characteristic of a high-IQ'ed person. People with high intelligence do not like to be ruled over, they love their freedom and always show it everywhere.

Igbos have never thought of yoruba as competition. They have never thought for once a yoruba man will outsmart them in any endeavour. That's the truth. Igbos were born to think they're superior humans. That has always made them stand out anywhere they're.

When I was in primary school in the mid-90s, we had our classes from A - E, the guys that were topping the whole classes were igbos. This is not a false info. I can't start mentioning their names here, this is to show you how much the igbos compete with the yorubas in their own turf and their own educational system. In 2013, the best FUTA student was an igbo guy. So, what are we saying? There are many more records igbos still managed to drag with your yoruba brothers in the west. Your records are non-existent in the east. The igbos come to your place to drag university education with you. They top you in post-ume scores and you're forced to manage poly-technics and college of education(not that its bad).

Check Unilag for instance, we can boast of 30% igbo population. Come to unizik, you can't even dare apply for the school because 1st, you think you can't match up with the competition. Igbo race still leads you and will continue to lead you. Its a cultural thing and not something you just start. Your culture affords you relax and do nothing. But the igbo culture doesn't.

Lol, you’re funny. I don’t have time to start all this going around in circles today.

You are a big liar .... Yorubas soiled the name of Nigeria ...From drugs to Yahoo yahoo .....talk with evidence useless man

What more evidence do I need that Igbos are endangered species around the world due to drug pushing?

Blablabla

That one na such a long letter and I no even read am ...who cares

The greatest mistake was trusting Awolowo. Till date majority of the Yoruba have trust issues.... Ask any Nigerian period

You don’t betray who you are not in agreement with boy. Stop regurgitating the same rubbish your elders taught you.

Who in their right thinking mind will trust an Igbo? The bad name Nigeria has today is all thanks to the Igbos. In Asian countries you are prisoners, in Europe you are drug dealers, even in Pakistan you are being profiled as we have seen on Nairaland front page where one of you was deported from Pakistan because he was Igbo.

In Nigeria, you can kill any body for money even your brothers, you can sell your kids for money which made the Igbos the highest baby factory ever known to mankind.

You shouldn’t drag the Yorubas into your foray of madness coz I will school your ass here. I don’t wanna go through that lane this evening, it’s better you stop now or tighten your belt to be flogged!

AmuDimpka:
The greatest mistake was trusting Awolowo... Awolowo had an agreement with Ojukwu

Only to turn around... unfortunately majority of Yoruba Re like that ...if you doubt me ask around ! Just ask around and don't quote me

Ask how people view the Yoruba and trust issues ! It is them would say not me

Please what is the agreement Ojukwu had with Awolowo? You have to speak with fact coz I have all the archives with me from verifiable sources.

If you can’t mention what agreement an Awolowo who just left prison some couple of month back before the war had with Ojukwu, then keep shut bro and stop regurgitating the fairy tales you heard from your elders.

I watched the video where Ojukwu lied to his people that he released Awolowo and I was ashamed for the whole Igbo race. How would an elder stateman like Ojukwu lie on national TV when in actual fact documentable evidence showed Gowon released Awo.

Ojukwu was a master propagandist, he had a meeting with Awolowo where Awo told him about the need to restrain himself for a while so that the western region can be prepared or so that the issue can be sorted out in an amicable way that wouldn’t need war.

Awo later made the famous statement telling the North that if they made the Igbo secede by threatening them then the Yoruba will follow suit. Ojukwu banked on that statement and had to declare secession straight away by not heeding to Awo’s advice so that he can blackmail Awo into the war.

How do you expect a civilian like Awo to start a war at such a short lead time ? Ojukwu and Gowon are generals then who had in their hand lot of ammunitions and experience as soldiers. Even if Awo will mobilize the Yoruba military, shouldn’t Ojukwu have given them time to prepare also?

Ojukwu is a deranged proud man, he thought he could fight on his own without alliance and he attacked Ore in act of provocation, and drafted the Yorubas into the insane war of ego.

AmuDimpka:
That was the greatest mistake Ojukwu made....trusting Awolowo

Did Awolowo ever signed a pact with Ojukwu? What do you mean by trusting Awolowo?

Zik and Balewa government put Awo in prison on trump up charges of treason.

The barrack boys (Majorly Igbos) killed our premier Akintola and some Yoruba leaders.

Gowon released Awolowo from prison.

So why should Awolowo be loyal to Ojukwu, tell me one reason!

Obdk:
Of course 2003 was only yoruba candidates too... Nonsense

The Yorubas voted Obasanjo overwhelmingly in 2003, with or without Igbo votes in 2003, Obasanjo will still win the election.

So what were you talking about!

johntolu:
Thanks a lot for your stout defence of Yoruba History & Heritage, 'Omo-Iya mi'.

You welcome

brightokechukwu:
Dude stop your cry-babying and stupid paranoia, nobody gives a flying fucck about yorubas, it's just the fact. The butterfly that thinks itself a bird complex has profoundly made inconsequential gnats like yourself more relevant than you are. You spend your whole life here arguing like some loser about some useless presidency and some hackneyed political relevance blah blah blah like it puts food on your fu.ccking table. Go out and hustle like your mates, cause apparently you're a broke aSS piece of garbage with LOTS of time on your hands. I mean if you are this invested in your myopic "us against them" complex, you can channel that passion in pushing your legislators at state and Federal levels to push for separation from Nigeria (abi una no want Oduduwa republic)?, until that happens, you're just as stuck in that shit. hole called Nigeria with all its problems just as much as any other ethnic nationality there... and best believe whatever hate you reel out to the Igbos, you shall get the return in a million folds and over! we left you bastards in 1967 with our wahala, but your father's dragged us back, so you had better deal with the attacks coming your way till you kiss mother earth goodbye.

Try to type in paragraph, then I will dignify you with a reply.

You don’t know me, you’re taking of personal achievements. If you can match my personal achievements I will leave Nairaland and never come back.

Are we game?

Okay we’ve heard. Can you stop quoting me now!

PureFace1:
The likes and shares of any hate comment against Yoruba on Nairaland is also another prove.

Sometimes you feel like there are many Igbo online or on Nairaland more than Yoruba because of the way they like and shares hate comment against Yoruba.

It is not only Igbo alone that are liking those hate comments, there are also all this southern tribes that are all Yoruba haters.

I pity Yoruba because many still don't know how all these people hate them.

@the bolded. You are a legend. I just discussed this not too long ago with a guy on here about that. The Yorubas are ganged up against by the rest of the south except Edo.

Look at the likes, you’ll see them all swamped against the SW, if not that we are emotionally superior we would have been shouting marginalization and hatred just like the other alarmists.

But Oduduwa blood runs in us and we will SURVIVE any onslaught.
