This is a prestigious school

You can say that again.Proud to be a Corona teacher

I think this new guy ADEKUNLE GOLD deserves a spot on the list with his unique style of song and two smashing hits; SADE and ORENTE.

YOU'RE MAD EXCEDINGLY.U'RE A GOAT WITH MONTAGE MADNESS SYNDROME.I'M SURE YOU MEANT YOUR FATHER IS MENTALLY SLOW STUP1D LUNATIC.USELESS SON OF A NON ENTITY.

He told you the bitter truth. Of all sources, it is sahara reporters you were able to quote. Now, let me educate you a bit because you didn't study computer science as it is very obvious from the way you made Clay's name so bold. Of course, it is an undisputed fact that Cray evented the first super computer the Cray 1 and other series but super computers could have different variants; it just refers to a machine that can process several calculations within a very minute time.

As for Emeagwali, he worked on a super computer known as CM-2(he didn't invent it); there was CM-1 before that time. There is something called "parallel processing"...a type of architecture used in computers in order to make it work faster (read more), that was the section of the CM-2 he worked on and he achieved the right result in the model that was further developed using that same CM-2 thus earning him the Gordom Bell Prize for that year.

The only issue is that his achievements was exaggerated particularly by people who don't read nor listen well. Did he invent the super computer? NO ( every knowledgeable person knows this). Did he work on a super computer? YES, he did and got a prize for his efforts on the CM-2 he worked on.

Karmanaut:
Google his website and read his acclaimed achievements.

That's the only true part of the story, however according to the charlatan the Gordon Bell prize is equivalent to the Nobel prize for computer science.
Spoiler alert: it doesn't come close.

Read his website to see the list of all his "achievements", a TL;DR is in on the first page, then maybe you'll see why he's considered a fraud.

Fine, one thing is common with the site, he boosts his ego but there was no where he called himself a Doctor the only issue is that when people call him "doctor" like the newspaper invite from Jamaica on the first page, he doesn't deny it, that's all! As for the father of internet and so on, he didn't claim he is, he just put them under related posts in which there is a likelihood his name pops up when such are read or discussed. His picture on the postage stamp, was that false too? I only see a man that is proud of his little achievements, nothing like fraud too and yes! He is an excellent mathematician too, went through some of his writeups. Cut him some slack!

Karmanaut:
Website owned by a Nigerian.
I think the owner used to wok for Sahara Reporters.
If you don't want that site, then this one is by a nairalander:
www.nairaland.com/19285/philip-emeagwali-media-hype

So, nairaland is now a source again? Huh? Fine, he was denied a Phd degree which isn't a new thing, happens even in Nigerian universities so, what exactly is your point? That he didn't win the Gordon Bell prize for his application in a model or what?

Karmanaut:
Because he is.
Read this exposè.

...And what the hell is elendureports? Huh?

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.

Where in the article points to the fact that he was a fraud aside exaggerating that he was a nobel prize nominee? Why not debate his theorems and all?

ladokuntlad:
i strongly disagree as pertaining to this particular question above.
Why?
since some certain condition as been given so its already under a constraint, which cant make us say its going against gravity (-g) even at -g(going against gravity) we don't get our distance to b negative.
I stand to b corrected though.
Bt for dis particular question above.
d reason i gave is still very legit until someone comes here and give His/Her own clear reason

Well, I am yet to check out the question itself, just saw where you wrote it can't be negative. Will check out the question tomorrow.

@ Ladokuntlad, it is possible for height to be negative in physics particularly when an object is going up or down. If you get a negative height, it means the object is going against gavity( I.e moving up).

latoye1:
This big school owned by a deeper life member at Meiran with branches in other areas, which name starts with Good is truly a good school but not a great place to work. If you are ready to be collecting previous month salary on the 20th and above of the next month then you're welcome. In terms of staff welfare they are not there. Where you can't be happy working is not a place of work but a dungeon where you seek any available escape route. I'm saying this to save a disillusioned soul. All that glitters is not gold. Beware!!!! Sometimes I wonder when people you look up to as pious and God fearing, people you expect to be better in some ways and you see them do some things. You truly begin to wonder!!!!!

What's the salary structure like in that school?

stlaibrowne:
Though elementary but this is wrong

The 3 square is same size that's x^3
Hence square is 3
The 3 triangle is same size too
Triangle is 2
The circle is 4
The answer to the problem is 4+(3×2)=10
QED

I think the idea is just to look well...didn't observe the "+" on the last line, thought everything was all " ."

MathsChic:
hi naturalwaves

I have been off this thread for a while, came back and saw the way you and some other peeps demystified those problems. Followed up some of your solutions and observed that you have a great analytical skill when solving problems and that's quite commendable.

Avalon316:
Yes,you smashed a seven man interview panel? You are just like your mentor,coogar. Liars.

Coogar should channel his energy into something positive.

Hahaha...funny dude. I guess you haven't seen such before. He isn't my mentor but he handled the crowd and the heat well.

Sup MathsChic?

[/quote][quote author=Avalon316 post=40232993][/quote]Good you admitted he handled a 75 paged rampaging crowd well. Reminds of me of how I once smashed a rampaging 7 man panel interview.

Why would a fresh account be opened because of this thread? The thread must have been opened by a shameless coogar hater who isn't even bold enough to come out in the open.
Nice crowd control coogar. I couldn't believe you handled so much crowd like this irrespective of what the case is...You did a good job to take a lot of peeps to the cleaners, no wonder you flog them mercileesly on the rap battle ground.

The great profs... in the building.... u r sighted ..

i salute ur ministry...... #benbuks...

Hey bro, na work dey knack me akpako o. I see you guys are doing a great job and keeping the thread alive. Weldone!

petengine:
Think u are maths guru? Try dis:

Anyss:
Wow. That never crossed my mind. I guess I have to start from here. Thanks a lot for the correction. I really appreciate.

You're welcome!

airmark:
I tell you. Coogar's money was always in other people's credit cards unknown to them. The workplace you are rushing to, you may be working for coogar in the long run and you may not know.

Bros, try get small sense now. Your comments are becoming nauseating.

coogar:
the enemies are in a group of small pockets!

rap section, sports section, family section. then there are ghosts of the past who have been nursing grudges for years. sometimes I ask myself - "how did you get yourself into this pile of shyte?"

coogar:
i have never gotten a fair hearing on NL. these people don't like me one jot but they don't have a choice, they must love me!

I don't know why they don't all like you but I know why a particular group doesn't like you; I think you have to soft pedal on those killer rap knockouts of yours and pretend to at least allow one of them win . That's the prize you pay for being too good.

coogar:
r231 is a snake in human flesh. you woulda thought he would include what i sent him as part of the evidence released by the yeye fraud squad but he binned it.

it's all good. i have been reliably told he's sponsoring babe's legal team in court. they will meet me there. jaybee is also in the mix so it's a double treat.

That's what you get when you fight your enemies. I am impressed you were so cool with all those making a mountain out of this.
The number of "bad belle" persons on you is so alarming. The thread itself was a pointer to the "bad belle syndrome". If there is an allegation of fraud against someone and you want the person to come defend himself, is this how you open the thread with such alarming title? It was obvious the purpose wasn't to give a fair hearing.

I seriously wish everything is settled amicably.

Most of the spectators/ supposed umpires on this thread aren't being objective enough. A lot of side takers and azz lickers on the thread. Coogar hasn't done badly answering them all. The crowd is more like a gathering of old enemies of coogar; I see some pained persons he has floored on the rap battle ground also being senseless with their posts rather than ask sensible questions if anything is unclear. Some of those asking questions have had their minds made up before such questions, so, the questions are like a trap and doesn't matter what answers were given; they can never see any light in it. I see some eediots mentioning a lot of monikers to come see too. Unfortunately, thread didn't turn out to be what it was supposed to be.

I am not holding a brief for Coogar but this probe hasn't been fair enough.
