How Philip Emeagwali Lied His Way To 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.

This rehashed story again?

With academic qualifications that have since been busted as lies, no thanks to the internet age of information.

As one of the most famous African-American inventors of the 20th century, in 1989, Emeagwali won the Gordon Bell Prize- the Nobel Prize for computation but after such great accomplishment, he did not just seat back and relax, feeling satisfied that he had achieved it all.

The Gordon Bell prize is no Nobel Prize for Computation. That prize is the Alan Turing Prize.

Besides whatever Gordon Bell prize he won was a group effort by many colleagues that included him.

Even Ovation Magazine once did an article on him with interviews, and erroneously referred to him as Professor on their cover page, and the academic fraud accepted such unmerited accolades.

Now we know better with information age, else any man could previously claim to be Ceaser.

Igboes and fraud.

Too lazy to even do basic research on the origin of the modern computer, and the Darpanet that became the internet

Philip Emeagwali is a clown and a fraud everyday of the week and twice on sunday. He does not even have a PhD because he failed his doctoral examination. Everything you see about Philip on the internet is referenced from his personal website or unrecognized websites. Pls have a look at his Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Emeagwali and you will confirm this. We were sold this image many years ago but if you still believe what you hear about him then investigate him yourself. Just an internet search of what he has ever achieved and it will open a can of worms. I rest my case

I don't know how true the sahara reporters' publication about him is, but I have been hearing about him since I was a kid. The achievements may be real true or most(some) are true.

His wikipage is uninspiring for someone touted to be an Internet pioneer.

Being denied a PhD by a prestigious college says a lot. grin
