This great men exceedingly had their break through in the wilderness of Biafra and Boko harram crises which had been developing long ago. Am still proud of my country" If not for Phillip Emeagwali, wireless connections wouldn't have been intensely experienced in the globe. He created the fastest computer in 1989-1998 that can perform 3.1billon calculations per second which is faster than the speed of a cray supercomputer " this is an unbeatable remark of Nigeria in Africa" Remarks still goes to late Mohammed Bah who invented a natural cooling system wit clay soil far back as 1900" no wonder we got the true title of being the giant of Africa" we miss our lost peace"

MrKontrovErsy:
I can see 3 Igbo men representing where it matters most. and no yorobbber man on d list. we for no hear word today.
now where are those Flat Head amala eaters that always talkin rubbish.?
I hope they are seeing this. its not all about propaganda and stuffz

WTF ?

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.

There is a drop of greatness in every Nigerian. This exclusive list mirrors the great endeavor of Nigerian scientists both living and dead who have left indelible marks in their respective fields both nationally and internationally. This list is not arranged in any particular order and data was sourced from credible and verified bodies both offline and online.


PHILIP EMEAGWALI


Philip Emeagwali who may well be the greatest scientist of all time is a Nigerian inventor and scientist. He has been living in the United States of America for many years. Philip Emeagwali is recognized worldwide and has been voted “Father of Super-computing,” he is ranked #1 in computing. And ranked FIRST by Google for “contribution to the development of the computer.”
The TIME magazine sees him as: The “Unsung Hero” Behind the Internet. We at amebo are proud of you sir.
Did you know Philip Emeagwali has a higher IQ than Albert Einstein? Okay, now you know.




BART NNAJI

A one time Presidential aspirant and Enugu state born Prof Bartholomew Nnaji, is an erstwhile Minister of Power of the Federal republic who holds a Doctorate in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the United States. As a researcher, he focused on: Computer Aided Design, Robotics and Computer Aided Engineering. Using the knowledge he gained from his research pursuits, he created the term Geometric reasoning, the idea that most things we operate has a geometric configuration. He is also credited as one of the innovators of the E-design concept. He is also the founder of the first indigenous owned power generating company in Nigeria and was also a former minister for Science and Technology in the country.



MOHAMMED BAH ABBA

Necessity as they say, is the mother of invention. Mohamed Bah Abba from a rural area of northern Nigeria developed the pot-in-pot refrigerator i,e, Pot-in-Pot Preservation Cooling System in the 1990s. Northern Nigeria is an impoverished region where people in rural communities eke out a living from subsistence farming. In rural northern Nigeria, there are no refrigerators. Most people don’t even have electricity. So perishable food must be eaten immediately, or it will go to waste. He received the Rolex Award for Enterprise in 2001 and used his $75,000 award to make the invention available throughout Nigeria.





COLONEL OVIEMO OVADJE

There are many Nigerians who have made the country proud, either by their personal achievements or their contributions to the development of the country. But, permit me to say that, there is this one with very intimidating credentials; one who has made his mark nationally and internationally. As a medical doctor and a soldier, he has effectively combined the two for the good of humanity in solving the problem of blood salvage from body cavities by pioneering and creating a design- the EATSET to replace and improve on the gauze filtration technique as practiced in developing countries. This great son of is from the Isoko extraction of Delta State. He was declared the Best African Scientist in 1995 before African Heads of States when he won the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Gold Medal for scientific work designed to save women who usually die from abnormal pregnancy (ECTOPIC GESTATION).




PROFESSOR GABRIEL OYIBO


There are always two sides to the coin” and so it is for the most controversial scientist on this list, Gabriel Oyibo, a Professor of Mathematics whose theory – “God Almighty Grand Unified Theorem (GAGUT)” has been heavily criticised by some scholars. Some see him as a madman others see him as a Genius but that notwithstanding this professor boasts of a very rich credential. Professor Gabriel Audu Oyibo obtained his Ph. D. in Aeronautics and Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Troy, New York where he worked for four (4) years on NASA/AFOSR sponsored research and made several contributions in aircraft design, aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, mathematics and taught several courses. Dr. Oyibo received Knighthood by His Royal Highness, Attah of the Igala Kingdom.

I heard one Dr Abalaka created a cure for HIV,but his cure was rejected because he is from Africa! How true is this?

Sagamite:
This is why I like calling many of you cretins moronic fuuktard and I am justified.

Whichever cretin authored this demonstrate what I mean.

So considering the many Nigerian Professors out their doing some great work, these are the people this cretin composed and labelled "Top five".

If you ask the cretin now what methodology did he or she use to create this list, then you would see the dumb look on his/her face.

Products of a failed education system like Joromi1.

They just pick anything and say "Top", "Best", "Greatest" without any methodology.

If the cretin had said "Some Nigerian Scientist/Inventors with some of their great work" then it would have made more sense. But that is asking too much from the fuuktards how failed education system is generating.

I doubt MOHAMMED BAH ABBA even has a degree or seen the 4 walls of a science department, but yet this fuuktard labelled him one of Nigeria's Top 5 scientists.

musicwriter:
If not for Emeagwali, computers, smart phones and wireless networks would be slow globally. His invention made possible processor speeds up to Dual-core, Quad-core, Deca-core, octa-core, e.t.c even the potential to build faster computers or smart phones.

If you're enjoying a fast 8GB RAM on your computer or phone, it's all because of Philip Emegwali. Without his invention, nothing would've been as fast as is enjoyed today. IBM and all the computer companies already gave up on the possibility before he did.

If he was a white man he would've possibly won a nobel prize.
