LAGBAJA SAYS NIGERIANS ARE MUMUS FOOLS
http://fabmagazineonline.com/fab-outburst-nigerians-are-mumus-fools-lagbaja/

This artist has thrilled us over the years with amazing afro-infused renditions and Nigerians have come to love him so much. His outburst was in support of an article by Okey Ndibe. The question is why would he now call Nigerians fools? Read Lagbajas letter to Nigerians below and also the original piece by Okey Ndibe right after:

Dear Okey Ndibe: Thank you for sounding the alarm in a way that should make us reflect deeper. Mumu is not a condition I proudly proclaim. It was with a heavy heart that I came to this shocking realization that we are indeed a country of mumus. Harsh as it might sound, no other explanation would suffice. It is apparent that the “leaders” know that they would always get away with whatever incredible schemes they concoct because, amongst other reasons,

(a) the mumu people they “lead” are no different from their mumu “leaders” in character
(b) the mumu people are gullible, superstitious and naive
(c) there are no consequences for criminal acts if you belong to the right group
(d) these mumus never demand accountability from their “leaders”
(e) the mumus expect their rulers to loot or would otherwise consider them foolish

Apologies for the seeming overgeneralization but the vast majority runs with this mumu mindset.

striker9: God knows best,I think he didn't like the idea of going to ghana,I mean who will?I know he doesn't want to be a bench warmer in city,to be a bench warmer in Porto would be worse.

and who told you Ghanaians wanted him in their country. and what dso you mean by who will? are you better than the people who live in Ghana? such a rubbish talk from a certified mumu

hahahaha why not? Accra is clean and orderly, motorists obey traffic regulations including traffic lights and wardens, residents enjoy regular and reliable electricity, lives and properties are well secured, no incidents of people being kidnapped for a ransom of coke and gala residents can sleep with their two eyes closed knowing security is assured, unlike some cities elsewhere where armed robbers and criminals rule.

A West African Journey (2): Nigeria And Her Neighbours Are Worlds Apart

By EJIRO BARRETT
http://nigerianobservernews.com/24122013/features/features2.html#.UsqjfSdtZiM

I just returned from a trip to Ghana, something that has become a regular escape for me from the chaos that is Nigeria most times. These visits have always been important lessons in contradictions. I have travelled through several towns and discovered that, between Ghana and Nigeria, there are similarities but the differences stand our more.

Along the West African coast, languages and traditional rites cut across national boundaries that are clearly artificial borderlines imposed by prevailing colonial tongues, and religious missions that are identified by their separate national metropolitan sponsors.

The difference in social attitudes have created several contradictions that are also immediately obvious across borders. What would instantly become apparent at first when one crosses the Nigerian border is the sense of organisation that welcomes; a clear contrast to the chaos that has become our trademark. the absence of smoke billowing trucks honking menacingly for the sole purpose of imposing fear to gain the advantage on highways; the absence of ramshackle police vehicles that look more like abandoned heaps of metal than vehicles intended for hot pursuits; the absence of police men kitted in faded uniforms; the absence of the complete chaos of Nigerian traffic jams- illustrated by the blatant disregard for traffic regulations; and the absence of filth that we seem to have learnt to live with in Nigeria, without bother. These are some of the differences that would become immediately obvious. There is also the conspicuous bohemian feel that the many street side cafes around Cotonou and Lome exude on cool evenings. I am always amazed at how, just a few hundred kilometres apart, we have managed to remain light years apart in attitudes. I am not talking about the cultural nuances created by the different colonial experiences but the contradictions in temperament and civility. I guess serious research is needed to understand that.
I have mentioned the differences that would strike any visitor who crosses the Nigeria-Benin border, but there is a dangerous virus that I observe has infected all sides with equal devastation; corruption. Do not be fooled, Nigerian officials at border posts may be known for fleecing without fear, but the Togolese and Beninois officials seem even worse. In these countries you do not argue with the set rules: I guess this plays out in their subterranean dealings just as much as it does in their official duties.

The contrast is mind boggling. The average Togolese or Beninois police officer- neatly dressed and whistle at the ready- seems the perfect picture of conscientiousness, and they are- most of the time. When encountered, their sense of commitment is immediately apparent. They carry out searches and ask the necessary questions with stern expressions that betray their preference for routine. However, it is with this same unyielding deportment that they demand set fees for no known reason. Drive through the border posts and check points in these countries and the persistence with which these demands are made rankles. At some of these checkpoints, the officers simply plead for a small cash gift; they do not insist but are quite persistent in their pleas, but they let you go if all documents are in order. In other checkpoints, however, they do not care much for your documents. They demand anything between 300 and 1000 CFA (between 20 and 400 Naira).

These acts notwithstanding, I still believe there is a lot that our security agencies can learn from these countries. The Beninois and Togolese security officials seem a lot more dedicated to their jobs than ours in Nigeria. At every turn, their presence is clearly evident and they seem to have done a good job at keeping their cities safe without the high handed tactics for which our security officers back home are known.

Beyond Nigeria, Republic of Benin, and Togo, Ghana is a world apart. I have travelled around the world quite a bit and I must admit that Ghanaian police officers are among the most civil I have met anywhere. I cannot remember the last time a police officer in Nigeria started a sentence with ‘please’ or ended with ‘have a good day’, so my shock at hearing this regularly in Ghana should not come as a surprise. The officers of the Ghanaian Police Service seem an aberration in these parts. I have been here four times and have never witnessed an altercation between a police officer and a civilian, not once: something that is so regular in Nigeria that it appears to be the norm. I watched as police officers took notes and measurements at an accident scene on the highway and controlled traffic. They had already evacuated victims and were controlling traffic flow. We had been informed of the accident about two miles before the scene and were advised to drive carefully. I saw this last in Nigeria in the seventies.

The sight of policemen displaying horse whips and ordering people to roll in puddles or pulling traffic offenders by their shirts and striking them in public appears an oddity here . When you commit a traffic offence here, the policeman actually pulls you over, explains your offence and, if you are a first time offender, let’s you go with just a warning and no greasing of palms- if that happens I have never witnessed it, I must confess. Coming from Nigeria, it is surprising to see this. I guess this emanates from the impressive simplicity and civility of the Ghanaian character. In all my visits here Ghanaians have been wonderful hosts who go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed.


Regardless of its challenges, Ghana remains a good example from which we can learn important lessons.

400 Ghanaian students compete in building robots for 'NASA'

http://www.globalnewsreel.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106:400-ghanaian-students-compete-in-building-robots-for-nasa&catid=28:technology&Itemid=12

Some four hundred students from more than 40 Senior High Schools in Ghana are currently competing in the building of robots with expert instructions by a NASA Senior Robotics Engineer, Dr. Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu.

A statement issued and released by the Public Affairs Section of the US Embassy in Accra said the students would participate in kick-off workshops, introducing them to robotics kits, guidebooks and additional training suggestions.

The competition, which started Monday, October 3, 2011 at the Tamale Senior High School (Tamasco) in the Northern Region, is dubbed, the Robotics Inspired Science Education (RISE) initiative.

It is aimed at inspiring the Ghanaian youth to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.

The initiative is also aimed at covering other robotics science clubs from senior high schools in Accra, and Takoradi in the Western Region.

With robotic building kits from the LEGO education, the competition would end on October 11, this year, in Takoradi.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots.

Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics, and software. The initiative, according to the statement, is through a collaborative multi-partner effort including the United States and Danish governments.

RISE seeks to transform the learning experience of young Ghanaians by connecting science theory with hands-on learning experience.

“Not only will teachers and students strategize, design, build, program and test an autonomous robot to solve defined real world problems, but students will develop leadership skills, self-confidence, presentation and communication skills and stewardship through the experience of Robotics competitions,” the statement disclosed.

In his support for the effort, Ambassador Teitelbaum noted, “In an era when Ghana’s economy is expanding rapidly, Ghanaian students will be well-served to engage in science, technology, engineering and math activities such as those offered by robotics.”

“Nearly every sector in Ghana’s economy could benefit from expertise acquired from application and development of robotics – from medicine to agriculture, textiles to oil production and mining.”

The Danish Ambassador to Ghana, Carsten Nilaus Petersen also saw the initiative as an important element for the development of the high-tech industrial sector in the country and a significant input to the advancement of Ghana’s research capabilities.

All of the partners on this project would also seek to organize future workshops and robotics science competitions, and to expand the project to other high schools, junior high schools and colleges.

Awe Kludze never imagined he would command a Nasa spacecraft

On the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, BBC News asks one of Africa's pioneering scientists, Dr Ave Kludze, of the US space agency Nasa what inspired his stellar career and what he thinks of the standard of science teaching in Africa today.

As a young boy I was always very curious.

My parents didn't like to leave me at home alone, because they knew I would dismantle the radio.

Even at my friends' houses, I would try to take the television apart, to find out how it worked.
I never imagined I would have the opportunity to work for Nasa. Not with my background


Does Africa support science?


But my life changed the first time I went to the airport in Accra. I saw an aeroplane landing and taking off.

I knew then that I wanted to be pilot.

From that day, everything I read was scientific. At school, I read science subjects.

My father wanted me to be a lawyer. But he supported my ambitions. So I was lucky.

But then, when I was 17, I found out that I could not fulfil my dream. I could not become a pilot.

The reason was that my brother, my father and my mother all wore glasses. This implied that, one day, I would wear glasses too. And indeed I do.

I was very disappointed.

Solar power

I decided to channel my energy elsewhere - into engineering.

I studied electrical engineering in the US, at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
The Calipso satellite, developed with Dr Kludze's help, launched in 2006



My intention was to return to Ghana, so I started to focus my mind on using solar energy to power appliances: Solar fridges, solar fans, solar freezers - solar everything.

The sun is for free, so I believe we have to use it in Africa. We have to work with the resources we have.

But instead of working on solar panels in Ghana, I got a job with Nasa, developing and flying spacecraft.

I never imagined I would have the opportunity to work for Nasa. Not with my background.

I remember watching the Challenger incident - when the shuttle disintegrated.

I visited the "American Centre", in Ghana, where I watched the tragedy on the news. Afterwards I wrote to Nasa and they replied to me.

They sent me pictures and documents on some of their spacecraft and I put them on my wall.

I still have these pictures today. AVE'S FLIGHT PATH
1966: Born in Hohoe, Ghana
1978: Attends Adisadel College, Cape Coast
1989: Studies electrical engineering at Rutgers University, USA
1995: Hired by Nasa
2004: Helps develop the Extravehicular Activity Infrared (EVA IR) camera for space-walking astronauts
2006: Becomes technical adviser to Nasa Office of the Inspector General
2006: Launch of the Calipso environmental satellite, for which Dr Kludze was a systems engineer


Now many years later, I have worked at Nasa headquarters, in Washington, as a requirements manager. I help Nasa to take strategic decisions.

President [George] Bush outlined his vision that Nasa would go back to the Moon by 2020, so the agency is working towards that.

I am working on the communication systems the astronauts will use on the Moon, and on Mars.

They will send back pictures live. I have to make sure we don't leave out any requirements. Things have moved on a long way from Apollo.

I have flown several spacecraft - including the Calipso satellite.

But I was not in orbit - I flew them from the ground, using robotic controls at the Nasa control centre.

African mission

People ask me: What has Nasa done for Africans?

But many of them have cell phones - which were developed with Nasa technology.

The cars they drive and the glasses they wear - all of these have benefited from Nasa technology. It trickles down to the ordinary man.

Nasa is not only concerned with space. We develop technologies for aeroplanes.

And our way of developing systems applies to all kinds of engineering projects.

If you had a water project, for agriculture, Nasa technology could make your project more efficient.

I think the younger generation in Ghana today have more opportunities than I did to become scientists.

Dr Kludze has "flown" Calipso from a Nasa control centre


I first saw a computer in the USA. Today, the younger generation have access to the internet - they can get any information they want.

The education I received in Ghana was very sound - it served me remarkably well at Rutgers.

But where African schools have a problem, is that they focus heavily on theory, whereas [universities] focus on the practical - solving real world problems.

If we can bring that practical element into African schools, then we have a lot of brilliant young minds who will benefit.

When I was growing up it was difficult for science drop-outs and those students who were unable to further their education.

There were few avenues for them to become useful members of society using their acquired scientific knowledge. They ended up doing other jobs.

Young Einsteins

But times have changed. In Ghana, I understand they are encouraging pupils to pursue science.

But the question is: After you graduate, do you have the necessary resources to go further?

When I grew up in Ghana, we ploughed the fields using cattle and hoes.

The last time I went home, we were still using them. So where are our engineers?

We need the governments to invest in technology. Then the educational institutes can follow.

When I grew up, my scientific role models were not Africans.

I admired people like Albert Einstein. I was amazed that he could be on our planet and yet he could tell us about different planets.

But today I know many successful African scientists. People like my friend Dr Ohene Frempong, of the Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP). He works on sickle cell anaemia.

There are others who have done very well.

What are my remaining ambitions?

Well, I don't plan to go into space. I will leave that to the younger generation.

I will continue contributing to President Bush's vision - to go to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond.

How Philip Emeagwali Lied His Way To Fame
http://saharareporters.com/report/how-philip-emeagwali-lied-his-way-fame

Philip Emeagwali stirs up diverse emotions in Nigerians, Africans, and black people around the world. His claim of being a father of the Internet, of having invented the Connection Machine, of possessing 41patented inventions, of winning “the Nobel Prize of Computing” and of being a “doctor” and/or “professor” have been conclusively debunked with widely documented evidence.



Fraudulent claims help Emeagwali get on the Nigerian N50 postal stamp

Yet, the figure of Emeagwali as a black scientific, engineering, and information technology genius and pioneer continues to loom large over discussions of black achievement. The legend of Philip Emeagwali’s purported inventions, widely proven to emanate from the perverse deceptive genius of the man himself, endures and proliferates among Nigerian and black groups around the world.

Only recently, the USAfricadialogue googlegroups listserv managed by Professor Toyin Falola of the University of Texas hosted a discussion on Philip Emeagwali’s vast fraud. Participants in the discussion included Nigerian and African intellectuals, scientists, engineers, and IT professionals. Overall, the discussion reinforced and reiterated one of the worst kept secrets in the Nigerian Diaspora, especially in its online community: that none of Emeagwali’s highfalutin claims, on whose strength he has curried and continues to curry favor and recognition from gullible and hero-hungry black people, is true. Yet, just a few days ago, one of Nigeria’s more visible dailies, The Vanguard, included the academic and intellectual fraud in its list of 20 “most influential Nigerians.” Curiously, unlike previous Nigerian publications and profiles on Mr. Emeagwali, the biographical write-up accompanying the nomination does not repeat any of the well-known claims and “achievements” that Emeagwali has aggressively and fraudulently peddled about himself — claims that many of our people regard as truth. Apparently, the journalists at The Vanguard have become exposed to the widely available refutations of those claims and now know that they are false. But that, precisely, is the outrage. If they know that he is not a father of the internet, did not win “the Nobel Prize” of Computing as he claims, has no invention patents, did not invent the connection machine, does not have a single academic publication, and is neither a “doctor” nor a “professor” by any definition of those terms, why did they include him on the list? What makes Mr. Emeagwali “influential,” his ability to deceive Nigerians and line his pockets on the black speechmaking circuit?

Nigerians and black people deserve to know who the real Philip Emeagwali is. This will save them from the embarrassment of continuing to celebrate a fraud while real black scientific achievers and pioneers starve for attention and recognition. To correct Nigeria’s scientific and technological lag there is a need for investments — both financial and motivational — in the sciences, engineering, and IT fields. Nigerian youths need inspiration in the quantitative and scientific disciplines, but they should get it from actual, not pretending, black scientific, computing, and engineering heroes, not from phonies like Mr. Emeagwali.

Patented Inventions Or The Invention Of Patents?

Debunking the many myths of Mr. Emeagwali’s “achievements” is one the easiest things to do on earth if you have a computer with Internet access. Let us start with his claim of possessing 41 (32 by some accounts on some hero-worshipping black websites) patents for various inventions. A simple search at the website of the US Patent and Trade Mark Office (here: http://tarr.uspto.gov/) reveals that Mr. Emeagwali has only one registered patent, for Emeagwali.com, his website. He has no other patent listed against his name. It is the same patent that most owners of independent websites apply for to legally protect their proprietary rights over the website and its contents. We can state conclusively then that Mr. Emeagwali has no patented invention of any kind, contrary to his and his supporters’ claim.

Specifically, Mr. Emeagwali claims to have invented the Connection Machine (CM-2). This false claim is displayed boldly and shamelessly on Emeagwali.com in the section on “inventions” and “discoveries.” Some black websites like this one http://inventors.about.com/od/blackinventors/a/black_historyE.htm credit Emeagwali with inventing the Hyberball Machine Networks (or the supercomputer). Both claims are demonstrably false. The connection Machine, which is capable of conducting simultaneous calculations using 65,000-processors, was conceived by Daniel Hills and built by Thinking Machine Corporation, which Mr. Hills, along with Sheryl Handler, founded in 1982. This information is widely available on the web. The so-called supercomputer is therefore clearly not the child of Mr. Emeagwali by even the most generous stretch of the imagination.

Internet Pioneer?

Mr. Emeagwali claims to have used the CM-2 Machine to carry out billions of calculations by connecting over 65,000 processors (computers) around the world. He claims that this was the rudimentary foundation of the Internet. It is on this ground that he has aggrandized to himself the title of “father of the internet.” But this is a barefaced lie at worst and an egregious exaggeration at best. And it is so absurd in its circular logic that it is hilarious. First, as stated earlier, Emeagwali did not invent the Connection Machine on which his “experiment” relied. Second, Emeagwali used more than 65,000 independent processors "around the world" (meaning on the Internet) to do his calculation. This means that the Internet already existed and that he RELIED ON it for his calculations. Unless the Internet he claims to have fathered is different from the Internet that already existed at the time of his experiment (and which we all know as the existing internet today), he COULD NOT have invented the Internet or fathered it. He could not have been using an internet that, by his claim, did not exist until he invented it. As this website http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/history/emeagwali.html makes very clear, Emeagwali’s research did not contribute to or help invent any of the known components of what we now know as the internet:

Philip Emeagwali did work in supercomputing in the [late] eighties……. But supercomputing and the Internet are very different areas. And Emeagwali did not contribute to even one of the hundreds of Internet standards, or RFCs (Requests For Comments), that were created in the early decades of the Internet—an open process that anyone could participate in. His supercomputing research was completely unrelated to the Internet.

Emeagwali’s research was thus irrelevant to the evolution of the internet. Emeagwali did his supercomputing experiment in the late 1980s. By then, the “core standards” and protocols for information and data flow on the Internet already existed. And although, improvements have been made to the template since then, Emeagwali did not make any of those improvements and cannot therefore claim credit for them.

Emeagwali's tenuous—and fraudulent—claim to internet fatherhood rests on his assertion that "the Supercomputer is the father of the Internet,” “because both are networks of computers working together.” This, experts agree, is not true, as supercomputing is just one component of the Internet and in fact RELIES ON the rudiments of what we know as the internet to work. So, if anything, the internet concept is the father of supercomputing, not vice versa. But even if we accept Emeagwali’s wrong logic, the fact that he did not invent or pioneer supercomputing means that even on this flawed premise and logic he cannot be considered a father of the internet.

Authentic histories of the internet are accessible all over the web. One can be found here: http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml#SC69. Many people played leading roles in inventing, improving, and constituting the vast technologies, protocols, and ideas that gave birth to and perfected the Internet. It is interesting that none of them is nearly as vocal in claiming that he is a father of the internet as Mr. Emeagwali, who did not contribute to the invention of the internet in any shape or form and in fact relied on the already existing internet to conduct his research. One of the most significant contributors to and pioneers of the internet is Vinton Cerf, who is today a Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google Inc. Other important figures in the development of the Internet include JCR Licklider, Bob Taylor, Paul Baran, Donald Davies, and Lawrence Roberts. If anyone deserves the title of father of the Internet, it is these people. Yet, none of them craves or has appropriated the title. When interviewed about their contribution to the Internet, they often humbly outline their actual contribution, crediting others with other components and shunning the title or insinuation of having fathered the Internet.

The only “history of the internet” source to even recognize Emeagwali as a legitimate computer scientist to be mentioned when chronicling the history of the internet is the book History of the Internet: A Chronology, 1843 to the Present by Christos J. P. Moschovitis, Hilary Poole, Tami Schuyler, Theresa M. Senft. The book was published in 2001. Although Mr. Emeagwali proudly displays the book’s reference to him on his website and claims that the “father of the internet” moniker (which has since been lazily picked up by several media platforms) originated in the book, there is absolutely no such reference in the book. The book’s reference to Emeagwali only states how Emeagwali’s research “effectively stimulate[d] petroleum reserves” by “harnessing the power of parallel computing.” And it is clear from a cursory analysis of the linguistic properties of this specific reference to Emeagwali that Emeagwali himself supplied the material and the claims articulated in it. It is also clear from the reference that it has nothing to do with the internet but is about improving the modeling of oilfields or oil reservoirs. The content and prose are eerily identical to the autobiographical write-ups and claims on Emeagwali.com and on black websites that simply lift and republish Emeagwali’s claims and self-written biography.

The Nobel Prize Of Computing?

Emeagwali’s other claim is that of winning the “Nobel Prize of Computing.” He is, of course, referring to the Gordon Bell Prize, which he won in 1989. Many uninformed observers have since picked up this fraudulent reference, which emanated from Emeagwali.com, and given it wings. The truth is that the Gordon Bell Prize does not come close to the Nobel in status, recognition or prize money and to compare the two prizes is to insult the prestige of the Nobel and grossly exaggerate the Gordon Bell’s importance. The Gordon Bell Prize is, properly speaking, an annual competition that young, driven, engineering upstarts — mostly graduate students — enter. Winners are usually those whose research are innovative and on the cutting edge of new processes in the field. So, on that score, winning the Gordon Bell Prize is a reward for doing research work that is important and solves an application problem at the time that the award is given. But let us put the award in perspective and recognize that it is actually a very minor award in the narrow field of supercomputing and in the larger computing and scientific community. Here is why the Gordon Bell Prize, Emeagwali’s only legitimate achievement, is much less than what he has portrayed it as:

• The cash award for the prize is a mere $1000. Often, the amount of an award is a good guide to its prestige and significance in the field.
• Consider the fact that the most prestigious prize in the field of computing (and yet it cannot even be called the Nobel of Computing without insulting the real Nobel) is the Turing Prize, which carries a cash prize of $100,000.
• The Gordon Bell is awarded in the narrow subfield of supercomputing, thereby further thinning the applicant pool and reducing the intensity of the competition.
• The prize is further subdivided into several categories. Emeagwali won in one of those categories, the price/performance category. The more prestigious overall Peak Performance category was won by the entry submitted by a team from Mobil and TMC.
• It is interesting that apart from Emeagwali no other winner(s) of the Gordon Bell annual prize makes noise about winning it or claims to have won “the Nobel Prize of Computing.” They usually go on to do bigger and better research in the field, the Gordon Bell being just a launch pad for future significant work. The public does not even know the other winners because it is a minor prize even in the field of computing.
• Finally, and most importantly, Philip Emeagwali only won the prize in the price/performance category by default. His calculation of 3.1 Gflops was the second fastest speed. The fastest speed belonged to the Mobil/TMC team’s entry, whose calculation, according to the official record of the IEEE, which administers the prize (IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101), bested Emeagwali’s speed. The speed of the Mobil/TMC Team’s solution to the seismic data processing problem was almost twice that of Emeagwali’s at almost 6Gflops. Similarly, and of more relevance for our purpose here, the Mobil/TMC team’s entry achieved the best speed/cost ratio (price-performance) at 500 Mflops per $1 Million, beating out Emeagwali’s entry, whose speed/cost ration was less than 400 Mflops per $1 Million. In fact the prize in the price/performance category was actually awarded to the Mobil/TMC initially. However, because the Mobil TMC team won also won in the overall Peak Performance category and the IEEE’s prize rule does not allow more than one prize per entry, the Mobil/TMC team forfeited their prize in the price/performance category, sticking with the prize for overall Peak Performance, a more significant category. As a result, Emeagwali’s entry, the second placed entry with the second highest speed/cost ratio, was automatically bumped to first place.

For all these reasons, it is the height of self-promotion and delusional exaggeration for Mr. Emeagwali to claim that he won the Nobel Prize of Computing or that the Gordon Bell is regarded as the Nobel of Computing. Nobody except Mr. Emeagwali regards the prize as such.

It is noteworthy that both Emeagwali and the Mobile/TMC Team relied on the CM-2 Machine (the Connection Machine) for their calculations, the same machine that Emeagwali falsely claims to have invented!



Racism Or Laziness?

The case of Philip Emeagwali is a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of self-delusion, laziness, and a sense of entitlement. Mr. Emeagwali enrolled in a doctoral program in Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1987. His coursework over, he took the comprehensive examination that qualifies one for candidacy. He failed the exam twice and did not take it a third time. In the meantime, he conducted the research that would later win him the Gordon Bell Prize, a research he began as a class project for one of his graduate courses. In 1991, two years after winning the Gordon Bell by default, he petitioned the Dean of the School of Engineering to be allowed to submit a dissertation (despite not having passed his candidacy exam and therefore not being a doctoral candidate) in a different department — the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. His request was curiously granted in what was clearly a sidestepping of standard procedure. Emeagwali submitted the dissertation, basically a rework of his entry for the Gordon Bell competition, on July 24, 1992. A team of internal and external evaluators examined it and found it unworthy of a doctorate and turned it down.

This is a world crime to humanity also practiced by other parts of Nigeria.
In Lagos General Hospitals, human parts are freely sold by mortuary attendants . Also in lagos State General Hospitals, accident victims with their hearts still pumping are suffocated and their hearts and liver and sold to mafias in Europe for $10,000.00 and $12,000.00 respectively T[b]he pure water you all drink in Lagos, especially Lagos
mainland, Ikoyi and VI are all freezed in the mortuary of the general hospitals done
side by side with corpses.[/b] The attendants buy the pure water in thousands of sacks,
freeze them in their mortuary and sell to dealers. This is their private business. Even inside Jankara market, Lagos, human parts are being sold. Some of them get their supplies from the Mortuaries inside Lagos and some are obtained from paid kidnappers who are mainly Alayes and Omoles.
