The truth shall set you free..yet..another one..busted !!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Then he is not the father of the internet (which goes back to my original point). How does developing "the fastest modern supercomputer" make him the father of the internet??

It was on that basis that this current Internet is based. Internet was very slow until they started using his idea, he is not the owner of the idea but was able to combine to produce a fast one.

Former President of America Bill Clinton recognize him and other world leaders, you guys should stop hating.

Bro, I don't do dropping of names.
Forget the Afonja neck you usually hold on to.
It was a detailed research article that exposed and answered every point and news media that promoted him.
They even went as far as his college and how he failed his degree exam after all that.

This man is a fraud..he lied his way to fame..he has no PhD..he failed twice to defend his doctoral thesis in university of Michigan..he lied that he was a victim of racism..even the Gordon's bell prize he won was shared ..he didn't win it solely and moreover it was out of pity from the judges because that day the contestant from Mobil gave a program that ran twice as fast as Philip's own..the internet is there for us to check..he is no father of anything..part of his fraud was that he was able to get president Clinton to acknowledge him them..which he used to step up his fraud game..

Nonsense. What he did was simply put together a network (connecting different computers together), and even that was existing well before he did that. The first person to establish a network and send a message over a network was Professor len kleinrock who was working for the 'advanced research projects agency' using packet switching i believe. And professor Tim Bernerd Lee invented the three tools necessary for a working web(internet) while working for the european institute for nuclear research. He invented the first web server or internet computer, web browser or software application, and web pages, hence can be safely referred to as the father of the modern internet as we know it today.

Well I don't know where you got this from but I can authoritatively tell you that IT IS NOT TRUE.

He never developed anything. All are lies. Such super computers usually have names. Ask them the name of the supercomputer he developed?

Just read a link, because of your kooky prejudice you are not interested in searching for the truth.
All most of you concern yourselves with is consume consume consume without checking what you are consuming if it is fact or fiction.
This is typical example of the lazy youth the president talked about.
They neither know fish or foul.
keep promoting this lie.

And I am even ashamed of the mods who allowed such a fraud to make front page.

Odingo1:
He developed the fastest modern super computer, there was Internet before he develop that

By the way, Emeagwali's network of computers was not even the fastest that was listed in the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize awards. It was the second fastest, but it won by default because the other team that produced a fastesr supercomputer network had already won in other categories and also because Emeagwali's solution was cheaper.

Google "A look back on 30 years of the Gordon Bell Prize - The Netlib" to read the details on the website of the organisers of the AMC Gordon Bell Prize.

O my God! The question is not whether he won the award. We all know that he won the award.

The issue is that he is not a father of the Internet in any way and his supercomputer network was not the fastest. That's fact.
