Google what up? Here is someone with poor tools of analysis referring me to search engine.

You must be having a laff, if you think I need to consult google about my area of expertise.

SonOfEl:
oh, so this now poo eh? pls don't die just yet, cos I want you to witness the resurgence of the jewels of the black race as they keep making blacks proud...

SonOfEl:
your area of expertise? pls stop disgracing that field.

the uniqueness of emeagwali was his fantastic level of IQ compared to other Gordon bell prize winners. at a time, he was said to be the smartest man alive. stop claiming what you are totally ignorant of.

Biographies of Scientists: Dale Brown Emeagwali - Microbiologist and Community Leader

Dale Brown Emeagwali was born December 24, 1954, in Baltimore, Maryland. Her parents are Leon and Doris Brown. Mr. Brown worked for the publication AFRO-American, and Mrs. Brown was a teacher with the Baltimore city school system. They encouraged her studies and provided an outlet for her interest in science.

She attended Alexander Hamilton Elementary School and Northwestern High School, graduating in 1972. She enrolled at Coppin State College, an historically black college in Baltimore that is part of the University System of Maryland, and graduated in 1976. Emeagwali credits her later successes to "good teachers as good training" at Coppin State. After her first class in microbiology, she decided on a biology major.

She then attended Georgetown University School of Medicine, in Washington, DC, receiving her Ph.D. in microbiology in 1981. Her work involved bacteria found in soil, as well as viruses and protozoans.

While living in Minneapolis, working as a research fellow at the University of Minnesota, she worked on the African American Science Day, encouraging students to study science.

In an interview by Megan Sullivan for the National Science Teachers Association, Emeagwali states:

The overall goal of my work has always been to answer fundamental questions about cellular processes. I also like my work to have potential significant applications in the medical field. Thus, my interests lead me to conduct research in various areas including microbial physiology, virology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. A typical day involves checking on previous experiments, setting up new investigations, and analyzing data. While I find my work fun, it does get busy at times. The reward of obtaining new data makes it worth the effort. In addition to laboratory research, time must also be spent writing papers and reading to keep up with new developments.

Her work in cancer research includes the discovery that antisense methodology can inhibit cancer-gene expression. She has also demonstrated that isozymes of kynurenine formamidase exist in Streptomyces parvulus, a bacterium.

Emeagwali is currently an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

Dr. Emeagwali is married to Philip Emeagwali, a computer scientist. They have one son.

Go and read up on what Jack Dongarra had to say about Philip Emeagwal's touted achievements.



If you are still confused afterwards, find out precisely what Gordon Bell himself said his about supposed contribution to the development of the internet.

If John Dongara meant that Emeagwali was a fraud then why did his committee award the Gordon Bell prize to him.

He had nothing to do with the development of the CM-2.
He had nothing to do with the development of the internet.
I know of no contribution that Emeagali has made in computational science.
His work on the Bell Prize has had no impact.

[b] date20 October 2010 15:27subjectENQUIRY ON PHILIP EMEAGWALI,WINNER OF THE 1989 GORDON BELL PRIZEmailed-bygooglemail.com

  


Dear Professor Dongara,


Good afternoon.


I hope this meets you well.


This email is an enquiry relating to Philip Emeagwali, one of the Winners of the Gordon  Bell Prize of 1989 of which you were one of the  judges.


There has been significant confusion in various publications as to the scope of the achievements of Philip Emeagwali,particularly in terms of the character of his achievement that won him the Gordon Bell Prize, leading various people and bodies to seek clarification.As far as I know,your views as a scientist and a judge of that prize are yet to be sought on this subject


It would be most helpful if you could  clarify the following issues dealing with the facts  of this matter:



1.The copy of a report on the prize described as written by you and the other judges( found on the Wikipedia article on Emeawagwali and attached to this mail) described Emeagwali as using the Connection Machine or CM-2 in the work that won him the prize.It is claimed in other publications that he programmed this computer remotely.Do you know if this is correct?


2.Are you aware if  he played any role in the development of the CM-2 or of supercomputing generally?


3.Are you aware of any effect his work with the CM-2 has  made to the development of the Internet?


4.Are you aware of any contributions made by Emeagwali's work to the  oil and information technology industries?



It would also be helpful if you could express an opinion on the following question which is less one of  fact but of  judgement on the subject:


It is puzzling that in spite of Emeagwali's achievement in winning the Gordon Bell Prize,there is hardly any  reference to his work  in scientific  or industry literature.Could you suggest any opinion as to why that is the case?



Thank you very much

Whether this is the real John Dongara remains to be seen as no serious academician will criticise another academic work over yahoo or Google mails based on an anonymous inquirer who refused to inquire from the ACM ; Association of Computer Machinery.

If the inquiry was genuinely made it would have been sent to the Association of Computer Machinery and not to a single judge whose identify has not been verified and confirmed.

Igbo scholar disgraces Femi Fani-Kayode -Demolishes claims on Igbo/Yoruba history with facts and figures

An Igbo scholar, Dr. Samuel Okafor, has made one-time Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, look so small and uneducated by using facts and figures to demolish the claims he made in the controversial August 8 article, "The Bitter Truth About The Igbo", which set off a storm that almost threatened Igbo-Yoruba relations.

In the first part of an article entitled "The Lies of Femi Fani-Kayode", Okafor, who has a First Class in History from the University of Nigeria Nsukka and then did a Ph.D in Nsukka on scholarship, dismissed Fani-Kayode as a "half-baked intellectual." He then proceeded, point by point, to address what he termed "the most reckless amongst the tangle of reckless comments spewed by Femi, a character who with each punch of his keypad stresses his severely unwell conditions of logorrhoea, delusions of enlightenment, history and sociology - amongst others."

Below are Okafor's words:

FEMI AND HIS SEVERELY IGNORANT LIES:

-Femi Lies About the Yorubas Being Nigeria's Earliest Graduates:

From his myopic bubble Femi FaniKayode claims the Yoruba were the first to acquire Western education; the first ever known record of a literate Nigerian in the English Language is the narrative of an Ibo slave who regained his freedom and documented his life history as a slave from the time he was 11 years old in present day Ibo land till the time when he gained his freedom in the middle of the 18 th century. He later married an English woman and had 3 children. He died in 1795.

Femi, a basic Google-research will do you good here; check out the name, Equanoh OLAODAH. Further Femi claims that the Yoruba were the first lawyers and doctors in Nigeria. This is again a big falsehood. The first Nigeria doctor was an Effik man Silas G. Dove who obtained a medical degree from France and returned to practise medicine in 1840 in Calabar. This fact can also be verified from historical medical records in Paris.

I would also ask that you google the name BLYDEN - Edward Wilmot BLYDEN - an educated son of free Ibo slaves who by the mid-19th century had acquired sound theological education. He was born in Saint Thomas in 1832. He is one of the founding missionaries that established the Archbishop Vining church in Ikeja. Before the next time you succumb to your long-running battle with logorrhoea, Femi please do some research.

What about the third president of a free Liberia - President J JRoyle - again, a man of Ibo descent. Please take some time to do some research so that we can discuss constructively. It is wrong to peddle lies to your people. It is academic fraud to knowingly misrepresent facts just to score cheap points with people who do not have the discipline to do research and accept anything you pour out simply because they say you are well educated. To again quote the great Nobel Prize Winner in Economics Joseph Stiglitz; Femi fits into the category of third rate students from first rate universities with an inflated sense of self-importance. Let's go on!

Who was the first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics - an Ibo man - Professor Chike Obi - the man who solved Fermat's Last Theorem. He was followed by another Ibo man, Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differentail Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant. Please do some research on this great Ibo man. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka and one of the founders of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Who was Nigeria's first Professor of Histroy - Professor Kenneth Dike who published the first account of trade in Nigeria in pre-colonial times. He was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan. Who was the first Professor of Microbiology - Professor Eni Njoku; he was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos. Anatomy and Physiology - Professor Chike Edozien is an Asaba man and current Obi of Asaba. Who was the first Professor of Anatomy at the University College Ibadan? Who was the first Professor of Physics? Professor Okoye, who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. He was also a founding member of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Nuclear Physics and Chemistry - again another Ibo man - Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early '20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early '60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early '50s. First Professor of Statistics - Professor Adichie who's research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine - Professor Kodilinye - he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy - again another Ibo man was the first Professor of Astronomy - please, look up Professor Ntukoju - he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let's go to the Social Sciences - Demography and statistical research into population studies - again another Ibo man - Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early '60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics. Philosophy - Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics - Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics. Theology and theological research - Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.

I am still conducting research in areas such as Geography where it seems a Yoruba man, Professor Mabogunje, was the first Professor. I also am conducting research into who was the first Nigerian Professor of English, Theatre Arts, Languages, Business and Education, Law and Engineering, Computer Technology, etc. Nigerians need to be told the truth and not let the lies that Femi Fani-Kayode has been selling to some ignorant Yoruba who feel that to be the first to see the white man and interact with him means that you are way ahead of other groups. The Ibo as The great Achebe said had within a span of 40 years bridged the gap and even surpassed the Yoruba in education by the '60s. Many a Yoruba people perpetually indulge in self-deceit: that they were the first to go to school; to be exposed to Western education; that they are academically ahead of other Nigerian cultures of peoples. Another ignorant lie.

As far back as 1495 the Benin Empire maintained a diplomatic presence in Portugal. This strategic relationship did not just stop at a mere mission but extended to areas such as education. Scores of young Benin men were sent out to Portugal to study and lots of them came back with advanced degrees in Medicine, Law and Portuguese Language, to name a few.

Indeed, some went with their Yoruba and Ibo slaves who served the sons of the Benin nobility while they studied in Portugal. These are facts that can be verified by the logs kept by ship owners in Portugal from 1494 to 1830. It is kept at the Portuguese Museum of Geographic History in Lisbon.

Why then would several Yoruba people peddle all these falsehoods to show that they are ahead educationally in Nigeria? The true facts from the Federal Office of Statistics on education tell otherwise, showing that 3 Ibo states for the past 12 years have constantly had the largest number of graduates in the country, producing more graduates than Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and Oyo states. These eastern states are Imo, Anambra and Abia. Yet he calls Ibos traders. Indeed, the Igbos dominate because excellence dominates mediocrity - truth.

Let me enlighten this falsehood's mouthpiece even further: before the civil war Ibos controlled and dominated all institutions in the formal sector in Nigeria from the universities to the police to the military to politics:

-The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Ibo man

-The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Ibo man

-The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Ibo man

-The police was run by an Ibo IG

-The military as a professional institution was also run by elite-ilk Ibos.

Facts can never be hidden. To be first does not mean you would win the race; let us open up all our institutions and may the best man win. Let us not depend on handouts or privileges but on heard work. Let us compete and give the best positions to our brightest - be it Ibo, Yourba or Fulani, and then we shall see who is the most successful Nigerian.

I find it difficult not to respond to some of these long-held lies that are constantly being peddled by Yorubas. One is that the Yoruba have the largest number of professors in the country. I would again ask that we stick to facts and statistical records. The Nigerian Universities Commission has a record of the state with the largest number of professors on their records and as at 2010 that state is Imo State followed by Ondo State and then Anambra State; the next state is Ekiti and then Delta before Kwara State. I am sure you Yorubas are surprised. When you sit in the South-West do not think others are sleeping but I wish to address another historical fact and that is who were the first Nigerians to receive Western education. It is important that these issues be examined in their historical context and evidence through research be presented for all to examine.

I have continued my research for as the great sociologist and father of modern sociology - Emile Durkheim - put it, the definition of a situation is real in its consequence . What this simply means is that one must never allow a perceived falsehood to become one's reality and by extension individuals who accept a defined position act as though the situation is real and apply themselves in that narrowly defined perspective.

Why is this important to state it is because for long the Yoruba have peddled lies that have almost become accepted as the truth by other Nigerians but it is important that we lay down the facts for others to examine and come to their own conclusion for facts are facts. Let's go back to education. Historically, Western education resulted as a product of indigenous ethnic groups interacting with the whites through trade. The dominant groups sold slaves, ivory gold and a host of other products to their European counterparts in exchange for finished goods - wine, tobacco, mirrors, etc.

The Bini who were the dominant military force from the 15th to the 19th century raided and sold other ethnicities to the Europeans. Top on the list of those they sold were the Yoruba, Ibo and Igala. Various other ethnicities suffered as a result of the Bini military expansion. And the Benin Kingdom stretched from present-day Benin up to what is now geographically referred to as Republic of Togo. Indeed, the influence of the Benin Empire extended to the banks of the river Niger to present-day Onistha. There are huge Yoruba settlements in the Anioma part of Delta State who fled Yoruba land as a result of these attacks and constant raids. Yes, there are Yoruba people who are currently living with Ibos in the Ibo-speaking part of Delta and they are full citizens of the place no one refers to them as strangers and there is no talk about the Ibos being the host community like we hear from the Governor of Lagos State. But let me return to research. Slaves were moved from the hinterland to the coast and many were sold through Eko to the New World. These slaves were the first to encounter the Europeans and by extension their way of life - this included education in a Western sense. The Bini King had taken pains to establish a diplomatic presence in Portugal and the relationship developed into areas that extended beyond trade in the late 15th century and lasted well into the early 19th century. Scores of young Bpni youth were sent to Portugal and studied there, coming back with advanced degrees in various disciplines. The next set of people to receive Western education were the slaves themselves. Some of them managed to buy their freedom and develop themselves further.

For the Ibo it does not matter who your father is; the question is: Who are you? Who was Obasanjo's father? Was he the most educated Nigerian? I am sure the answer is no. Yet this Great Nigeria led this nation two times as a military Head of State and as a civilian President. What about GEJ? Who was his own father? Was he the first Nigerian to go to London? The answer is no. In fact, he had no shoes, yet he is fully in charge. So it does not matter if your father was the first Lawyer or first Doctor in Nigeria but rather what matters is what an individual does with the talents the Almighty has given to him. Let us open up Nigeria for competition. That is the solution to our problems. Those who want privileges keep reminding us that their fathers were the first to go to school in London. Every generation produces its own leaders and champions. Like Dangote who is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria today and the richest man in Africa. Was his father the first to go to study in London? Yet he is the master of people whose parents gave them the best. My brothers, the answer to the Nigerian problem is that we should establish a merit-driven society. "I get am before" no be property.

What is new about this? A largely Igbo slave area became the first black republic in the world-Haiti and we see how they have systematically been treated for that act. Ojukwu was the first black man to create a republic-Biafra, and with hardly nothing, they stood against (not your then and current useless Nigerian colonial army) but England, Soviets, and Muslim league, and on and on.

This is why particularly the Southwest is willing to betray those of the Midwestern Region and Eastern Region and use all attempts to cause division because they would starve without Igbo and their cousins.
