1. Bros, except you derive pleasure in self dellusion, Emeagwali was "exposed" for the fraud he his first by a Professor who is an Igbo woman. Obviously, this should tell you that Emeagwali's scam being made known to the world has nothing to do with tribe. There are people with good morals and principles that will not point out fraud when they see it.

2. Please point to me the following?

* Does Emeagwali have a PHD? From which School?
* His he has Academic Professor?
* Do we have any Academic journal or publication authored by Phillip Emeagwali?
* Is Emeagwali attached to any academic institution?

Meanwhile the following has been disputed with veritable facts

a. Emeagwali IS NOT the father of the internet
b. Emeagwali's super computer was not even the fastest at the competition he jointly won with 8 others. Researchers from Mobil who participated in the competition had a super computer that was 2x faster than what Emeagwali brought
c. Emeagwali till date has no patent written to his name despide the lie that he has several

So who is he?

Hahahaha... I can't imagine such reasoning. He wasn't awarded Ph.d after his thesis was dismissed, of which he sued the university, how does his dispute with the school authority make him fraud. His awards has not withdrawn, so. ..what's your claim?
Even with his doctorate thesis dismissed, he won everything as recorded by CNN,TIMES Magazine and Encyclopedia.

He sued his school and won? Your penchant for encouraging fraud is your undoing. He sued his school and lost, yet keep using the appellation "Dr"; he even "graduated" to using "Professor". Is that not fraud served a'la carte? He one time claimed on his website to have a number of patents to his name, yet in the patent records he had none.

So humour me, aside from S125 ($1000 divided into , what else did he win?

You are funny man, he was voted Africa's greatest scientist by New African for his work on supercomputer, not for having Phd, He won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the“Nobel prize of supercomputing.” Growing up in Africa. Please stop this show of shame, he didn't tell you he's is a doctor, after all he lost the suit.
It was only Sahara Reporters paddling rumors of rubbish, why didn't any of those bodies that awarded him withdraw them?
Ethnic hatred has blinded many against facts.

Emeagwali is the only living scientist extolled at
length by a United States president in a televised
speech (August 26, 2000). Bill Clinton called him
“one of the great minds of the Information Age”
and "the Bill Gates of Africa."

Emegwali was described by CNN as “a father of
the Internet” and profiled in the book "History
of the Internet."

TRUTH IS: Emeagwali won the Gordon bell prize and he did lots of work and he is an accomplished man.He should be respected for the things he did most especially winning the prize he won many years ago at that early stage, how many nigerians even came close way back then? none, so he deserves our respect no matter what, But also, he exaggerated his claims and talked more than he worked so this diminished most of his claims. He also, retired early and lives on old glory instead of doing more research and growing his claims.

Bro, go back in history and read it all over again. In 1967, Igbos went home in their millions and declared their own country. You Yorubas along with your Northern masters started shouting 'one Nigeria' and came down to the East to fight for 3 years to bring Igbos back into 'one Nigeria'. What is it with you people? Since Lord Lugard came in 1914 to tell you people that you are Nigerians, all of you have gone crazy. Why not ask the Igbo man if Lugard is right about 'one Nigeria'. If you people cannot do without Igbos, come out and admit it. No Igbo man has ever gone to the North or to Yorubaland to fight for one Nigeria. But you Yorubas and your Northern masters came to the East to fight for 3 years because you guys cannot do without Igbos. Shame on you people for not being able to survive without the Igbos

You can do the same thing in 2017 instead of wining like cry-babies!

Pack yourself "Home" and declare Biafra........ and never come back.
End of story.

Whats the point of doing it again so you can repeat what you did in the past? You guys will shout 'one Nigeria' and come down to the East just like you did last time to fight to bring the Igbo man back into Nigeria.

You guys cant do without Igbos, if you could, yoy would not be fighting civil wars to be with Igbos.

Funny thing is that if Yorubas decide to pull out of Nigeria, nobody will fight to bring them back because no one considers them important.

You ipob animals have no shame. You run away from your cursed land to other region and still beating your chest. Who the mess is holding you criminals from going, you have been told many times to f.uck off but shame wont let you go. You cant litter the SW and other region and still shouting biafra. Go back to your cursed land and stop disgracing yourself online. Dont you have shame?

You are telling us to go back to our lands? The last time we did that, you guys came down to the East to fight a 3 year civil war to bring us back. Now you tell us to go back to our lands again? God knows what sort of suicide you guys are planning in other to bring us back again.

The so called 'SW' you are talking about, how come you people are trooping to to places like Germany, London and America when you have 'SW'? Are your lands cursed? Mr 'one Nigeria' apologist

and "the Bill Gates of Africa."

Ok! Let's start deconstructing the lies which Emeagwali himself had abandoned, yet you carry on your head like harvested crops. First let me first point out factually incorrect statements
1. Gordon Bell's price is NOT the Nobel prize of Computing. Rather the Turing Award(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Award) is.

The Turing Award is generally recognized as the highest distinction in computer science[3][4] and the "Nobel Prize of computing".[5][6]

. Emeagwali's name is not associated with the Turing Award.

Let me also refer to some quotes to give you perspective

1. What are the facts?

There are certain things that Emeagwali's name should never be
associated with, among them being -
1) A claim to have won the "Nobel prize of (super)computing". (He
never won the Turing award, universally accepted as the highest honor
in computing).
2) A claim to have "fathered the internet". (No part of his work was
ever used, even remotely, in the invention or development of the
internet).
3) A claim to have acquired patents. (He has no patents in the USA or
anywhere else in the world).
It is these fundamental issues that have set him apart as a fraud, not
the tooting of his horn, not the color of his underwear.

http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/General/comp.programming/2004-07/0699.html

The Gordon Bell Prize is one of many smalltime prizes that people who use computers can win, and it is the basis for a lot of bogus or hyperinflated self-promotional claims that Emeagwali later made.

The Jewsmedia, including CNN, picked up on Emeagwali's antics and gave them uncritical prestige. Suddenly, we were hearing that Emeagwali invented the idea of parallel processing. He did not. We heard that Emeagwali invented the supercomputer. He did not. We heard that he invented the Internet. He did not. We were invited to believe that Emeagwali's Gordon Bell Prize was some kind of major achievement, on a par with the Nobel Prize. It is no such thing. There are even pseudobiographical anecdotes about Emeagwali to be found online, many of them intended to convey the idea that Emeagwali is one of the most brilliant men ever to live, on a par with, say, Karl Friedrich Gauss. He is not.

It's all lies, mostly invented by Emeagwali and the Jews, and amplified by the Jewsmedia. I should have known better than to believe it. Well, I do know better now. Emeagwali has no Ph.D., having failed twice to convince the University of Michigan that he deserves one. He failed to convince a judge that he was the victim of racism in the matter of his being denied a Ph.D., so he wasn't even able to use the courts to force the University of Michigan to give him a doctorate, which probably means he fell far, far short of deserving one.

2. The award he won has little to do with computing. He only used computing(parallel processing ) in simulating Oil reservoir models. Hear what Gordon Bell, the owner of the award had to say wrt to Emeagwali

Gordon Bell, 76, a pioneer in high-performance and parallel computing for whom the prize won by Mr. Emeagwali is named, said the entry that earned the Nigerian scientist the award had nothing to do with the Internet.

“He was able to get time on the Connection Machine at the right time and run a large program of oil reservoir modeling,” Mr. Bell, a principal researcher with Microsoft Silicon Valley Research Group in San Francisco, said in an email to NEXT.

“The Internet is another thing. No evidence that he had anything to do with the Internet,” he said.

Mr. Bell, who provided the financial support for the annual Gordon Prize, is an influential fellow of the world’s two largest professional associations of computer experts – the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and the Association for Computing Machinery.

But when asked whether he was aware of Mr. Emeagwali’s contribution to the evolution of the Internet, Mr. Bell said, “Not that any of my friends who worked on the Internet recall. His bio on Wikipedia is most interesting and in itself seems to be controversial,” he said, in reference to the Wikipedia article on the Nigerian scientist, which only stopped short of calling Mr. Emeagwali a liar.
http://www.cbwlondon.org/the-lies-of-philip-emeagwali/

3. A claim that he had many inventions and he is one of the greatest scientists is also utterly false and more of Emeagwali and his spin Doctors playing publicity stunts

Although he is not known to have made any other contribution to science or invented anything since he won the Gordon Prize 20 years ago, Mr. Emeagwali travels around the world, giving speeches and portraying himself as one of the greatest scientists in the world.

Speaking during a visit to Switzerland in April 2009, Mr. Emeagwali said he was the first to program an hypercube “to solve a grand challenge defined as the 20 gold-ring problems in computing. That discovery, in part, inspired the reinvention of supercomputers as an Internet.”

He claimed that by his effort, he was able to set three world records and improve on Newton’s Second Law of Motion.

But of late, Americans and Nigerians alike have raised questions about the claims. Alan Karp, a principal scientist with Hewlett – Packard Laboratories, and one of the judges who selected the Nigerian scientist for the Gordon Bell prize in 1989, said Mr. Emeagwali’s claims were false and exaggerated.

In response to NEXT’s inquiries, Mr. Karp wrote, “To the best of my knowledge, the work he submitted for the Gordon Bell Prize had no influence on the Internet. The material he submitted for the Gordon Bell Prize did not address adjustments to Newton’s Laws.

“Many people programmed the Connection Machines, both the CM-1 and the CM-2 that Mr. Emeagwali programmed. To claim that sending emails programmed is misleading. The work Mr. Emeagwali submitted for the Gordon Bell Prize did not set a world record. In fact, another team produced better performance and better price performance that same year and was awarded the Gordon Bell Prize for performance.

“There were other hypercube machines in use before the CM-2, and others had programmed them to solve important problems. Today, a supercomputer is not a union of supercomputers communicating as an Internet. Individual supercomputers with proprietary internal networks do sometimes coordinate over the Internet, but the work Mr. Emeagwali submitted for the Gordon Bell Prize did not do this,” Mr. Karp said.

4. On his media packaging her this

Because his claims had bounced around for long without any major challenge, many people around the world believe them as true, and Mr. Emeagwali enjoyed celebrity status. And from time to time, he adds new layers to what many scientists now believe to be a pack of lies.

Even the many of people/bodies who lauded him and spoke in glowing terms have had to beat tactical retreat.....I believe we can conveniently summise that they discovered they had been misled

5. on CNN, Time up to Toyota

Mr. Emeagwali’s Internet self-promotion has earned him a lot of attention. He branded himself so well that he became subjects of CNN, BBC, and TIME magazine articles and was able to get on United Nation’s list of former refugees who have achieved special status within a community due to their achievements. He is also widely celebrated in Nigeria and America, where he is a consistent feature of the Black History Month.

In February 2005, Ebony magazine ran a Toyota advertisement describing Mr. Emeagwali as one of the founders of the Internet and as having a PhD; whereas, he never earned a doctorate because the University of Michigan did not find his dissertation good enough.

Responding to a NEXT inquiry regarding why it misrepresented Mr. Emeagwali to the world, Toyota simply dissociated itself from the Nigerian scientist.

“Toyota has no connection to Mr. Emeagwali and is not responsible for his credentials. In addition, Toyota had no involvement with a ‘Gordon Bell Prize.'” said Mike Michels, the company’s vice president, communications.

6. On Bill Clinton's statements, even the American government could not even own the statement, as such referred to it as Mr. Clinton's personal statement

Mr. Emeagwali was also once described by former President Bill Clinton as one of the great minds of the information age.

The U.S State Department would not comment on why Mr. Clinton described the Nigerian scientist in that way. It simply directed inquiries to the former president himself. Mr. Clinton’s office is yet to respond to NEXT’s questions as at the time of this report.
