No you didn't, keep looking.

2015.Since GEJ is claiming Igbo as well.Time 4 Fash to come forward and contest.

he must give up the land he stole from the people of Ota for himself and that pastor now! Fire on the mountain, OBJ is politically finished. He should join ohaneze. I always wondered why he could not come near afenifere, i guess they wanted him to die with his honor. But the way he has been parambulating and causing wahala up and down, they have humbled him.haha. No wonder he went to write a book, like that can change blood.

Ileke-IdI:
All hail:

[size=15pt]EzeSegun Uchenna Obusanjo of Igboland [/size]

. They have all runaway and are speechless. They dont want the incestous gorilla. hahahahhaha. I thought they categorized the whole Yoruba tribe because of OBJ. Now it is safe to conclude that Igbo's are incestous Gorilla's.

tpia@:
what about that guy and iyabo.







can you break down that meaning further because it's still not clear.

wealth is ola or aje in yoruba. Not jo.

no one is saying he's not yoruba. As someone pointed out earlier, you can be yoruba through either parent if necessary. Not commonly done of course but doesnt mean it cant happen.

It depends on the family: Oba means king, and in some families it also translates to God, as God is the king of kings right?

Now SANJO: SAN EJO, Resolve the dispute/ judge the matter/or revenge for me

God will vindicate me/ God will resolve the dispute/ God will revenge for me, e.t.c. That is my own understanding of the name.
Very very coincidental right? You were very correct to try to find out what the name meant, Yoruba's name children according to circumstances. But Obasanjo is supposedly his father's name. Olusegun is his name, basically God has been victorious in war/over enemies.
He should just come out with the truth, nothing to lose anymore. All his children will be shunned from politics now in Yorubaland if he keeps quiet. Silence means acceptance. The end of his dynasty is over. Kai, he must be in torment now.

the irony of how Igbo's on NL have insulted Yoruba's with OBJ.hahahahahhahaha. They didnt know they were abusing themselves. I guess it is safe to say ignorantly now when fighting tribal wars that Igbo's sleep with their daughter in-laws, and look like gorilla's. ROTFLMAO.

Obasanjo on the left and alleged father, Obi of Onitsha


Wahala dey, Yoruba's have to do something about this impostor .

Even if his father was Igbo, his mum is Yoruba so he can decide which one to go with.
He also may not know the truth or was not told, women pass naughty person children to their husband's all the time, nothing new there.
No wonder his name is Obasanjo, oba ti sanjo for real. hahahaha.
After all the fun and jokes i dont think OBJ is Igbo though.lol.

Are all these edo people you posted from Akoko-Edo? Because all these Aso Oke and Yoruba traditional clothes is strange here. Looks like a Yoruba wedding.

bolaadigun:
I feel compled to contribute in the on going as I fear God and His wrath. Abi's sis, u need to hear this. I was there when your sis asked Yinka Quadri and Yomi Fabiyi to intervene in her matter with Yemi, and these two people can be witnesses to everything I'm going to say here. Uncle Yinka called Yemi to come see him,and he came. Then he said something to uncle Yinka,and that is that he wants your sis Abi to be around before he said anything because he wants your sis to be around so he cld say all he has to say to her face. They all met at a sister place your sis was there too,and in d presence of everyone Yemi started talking. I was in a room and I overheard everything being said, and I cldn't help but feel sorry for Yemi. And the truth is your sis Abi admttied to everything d guy said. Now Abi's sis,u were not there,but like I said Yinka Quadri and Yomi Fabiyi are witnesses to this,anyone can ask them if they want. Abi's sis do this for the sake of your own soul,so that d vengeance of God u r callin on Yemi won't also fall on u. It's d same thing Yemi asked your sis to do which she admitted to: Give a bible to your sis,don't reply to this blog until u do so,or d wrath of GOD will also be over your head for trying to tarnish Yemi's name. ask her if she did not offer (of her own accord), to give Yemi abt £600 towards his tuition fee, ask her if Yemi never gave her his bank card to show his appreciation for all she's done,ask her if she did not mismanage his account, ask her if Yemi did not buy her jewelleries worth almost £1000, ask her if the 200,000 naira to Yemi's sis wasn't actually Yemi's money,ask her if she doesn't always beat Yemi like a house boy,ask her if neva lied to Yemi,she was carryin his baby,ask her if she wasn't taken Yemi's passport with her anytime she goes out i.e after his indefinite was granted, ask her if she didn't hide Yemi's passport in a bucket of elubo b4 Yemi saw it and kept it with him,ask her if she did not ask police to throw Yemi out of her house. Abi's sis, if u don't ask her all these with the bible in her hand b4 u reply on this blog,u may be drawing God's wrath on your own head. I was there when Yemi asked your sis all these questions and more,and she admitted to them all, she then asked all ppresent to help beg Yemi to forgive her. If I was not there that day, I would be condemimg Yemi like d rest.

This is why i told that girl to be careful. She obviously doesnt know the real story and may not be a "real" sister to the Abi lady. Maybe a cousin sef. See the exposure now. Good thing you came to clear the mans name, because this is the internet and people just come and say a lot of nonsense, to spoil people. Everything is on google these days anyway. I suggest you edit some of ur post though so the man can have some peace and sanity in his life. I will do the editing in this quote so you can see what am talking about. I dont know the guy, but thanks for coming out with a 3rd person's account that can be readily verified by the accuser. See how she has sworn and prayed for terror on other's. She should pray and beg for forgiveness. Never follow people to fight their own fight, because you may meet the other with a bucket of acid.

Prince~Ozo:
If the Yorubas' and other Black Africans' original homeland was the Nile Valley, and that same valley was the original primal birthplace of Western Civilization (and arguably all human civilization), then according to a logical progression of these facts and thought it's not hard to believe, however fantastic, that a European mariner who made contact with Yoruboid West Africa had the following comments to make,

(Captain Richard Burton visited the Nigeria region in 1862. He was most puzzled by the architecture he witnessed because:

"It is impossible to think that Yoruba [sic] in ancient times derived its architecture through the Romans, whose conquests in Northern Africa were as extensive as in North Europe. We find in every [Yoruba] house a Tuscan atrium, with a cavaedium or gangway running round the rectangular impluvium, the tank or piscine which catches the rain and drippings railing through the compluvium or central opening in the roof. Sometimes the atrium is a tetrastyle in which pillars at the four corners of the impluvium support girders or main beams of the roof."

Burton further informs us that the royal palace "is supposed to contain not less that 15,000 souls". This data corroborates both Blomert, who suggested that the palace was the same size as the Dutch city of Harlem. Another traveller, Joshua Utzheimer, writing in 1603, suggested that the royal palace was "about the size of the [German] city of Tubingen".

These days, scholars no longer claim Roman influence on Benin or Yoruba architecture. However, the fact that Benin City was compared to the Roman city of Pompeii does prove that they were comparable. This indicates the high standard of Benin architecture and shows that it is every bit as impressive as its art.)

, such a profound observation deserves at least passing mention in even Western public curriculum, however, due to a highly concerted effort by SOME fearful and jealous members of the White West this prodigious fact about West Africa has eluded the notice of the vast majority of those who would ignorantly/naively hold to that antiquated and incohesive "theory" of the Black man's inferiority,

Hmm, i am the most skeptical about this Yoruba-Egypt link but i have to admit that there are some similarities. Especially in the translations posted by the OP. This article says a lot as well. I guess something bad must have happened for them to run that far. Plus i dont think the geography was the same then and now, so it may not have been that crazy of a journey. The pictures ROSSIKE posted are very crazy, all of them Yoruboid everyday looks. Dont mean to be a skeptic but more proof is needed.

igbo boy:
Na Beans? This Super Yoruba you are alluding to Yea we hear but we dont see you ni..as. When it comes to mouth i never see who fit challenge una. Una vokings no get part II but when it comes to actions, O boy na there u go fear fear.

I see OPC boys making noise in Lagos, make EKE show first see discharge wey go occur,

Abeg leave that matter, Nigeria doesnt need to be saved by the Yorubas. NIGERIA NEEDS TO BE SAVED BY NIGERIANS

Sorry Igbo Nigga, have you tried to approach the OPC boys before and see whether you will not cough blood? You just come here and talk nonsense. I dare you to approach OPC and come back please. At least prove yourself that you are not more than mouth. The people that make the loudest noise are Igbo's. There is no evidence to show what they have fought for except biafra. So please shut up and stop sounding like an slowpoke before people disgrace you here. Yoruba's are at fault of everything in ya'll's lives never taking the blame for yourself. What the bleep is EKE? If EKE was so good, why does no one know about it? and why is Abia a jungle? Arguing with NL children is futile.

@Kettykin you must be crazy and confused.What does Abacha,OBJ and Adekunle have to do with each other?Abacha's reign of terror was on all Nigerians and Yoruba's majorly fought till he left.If you have malaria you blame Yoruba's for not coming to cure it.Yoruba's died and fought for their mandate through violent and peaceful constructive means.I know you are a small boy just repeating the vitrol and lies you read on NL. Get yourself educated my dude, you sound very limited.Yoruba's should save the country from failure of biafra/ojukwu, from Abacha, from Babangida,from Yaraduagate.Only Yoruba's!Or else the other weakling's will shout cowardice from the background.Don't worry,Yoruba's will soon come and feed you Eba.

who were these elders that claimed OBJ was not Yoruba? That is my first question. If they are credible people then it is possible they have carried out investigation's. Yoruba's carry a lot of oral tradition and most can tell you exactly where their family ancestor came from. Also, their neighbors can do the same as well. So maybe someone snitched on OBJ . To the idiot talking about Gorilla's, lets take a look at some Igbo people that look like OBJ. Never seen a Yoruba like OBJ actually. Mostly Igbo's that carry the gorrilla like triat.

poster, you lack vision, the ability to be truly greedy and sense. 500k pere. The girl will not let you go, she don see greedy person to trap. You are finished if you do something like this.

hahahahahhahahahaha.
Funny thread. Look poster, you better tell the boy to come out with the truth about your age. If his mum finds out? The relationship will be too hot for you. And if it so happens you guys get married and there is a hiccup in getting pregnant as soon as possible, and she gets to know your age? you will regret your life. No Nigerian mother wants their son to marry someone older, and to top it off you are not from her tribe. Kindly tell the boy to lay all the cards on the table, because Yoruba women have a special relationship with their son's. This secret will come out in future and will come back to haunt you. Just in case he has an issue with you in the future, all your secrets will be exposed. He is too young right now to really know what he wants. He still has a lot of living to do as a man. As Uju said i am sure you provide for him a lot, the moment he becomes independent and sees you as old, that is when all the cards will begin to fall down. That will be his perfect excuse for cheating, telling everyone how old you are/ that you are an old woman and he needs fresh blood. I suggest you find a man between the ages of 30-35 because right now, you are living a fantasy. If you still insist on seeing the mother, make sure you kneel slightly, or with one leg to the ground and use MA not mum. Goodluck, but the truth shall set you free.lol

Woman of 25 marrying an old man with 3 children, with his first being 18. Oloju kokoro, it was the money abi? Well this is what comes with the money, deal with it. When all the young boys still dey there, you go marry old papa with 2 girls, you never see anything yet. They have just started with you. When the man dies, you go hear am.

@ Poster
There is no reason, and i mean no reason a man should beat his wife or any woman for that matter. If something happened and he could not forgive, i wonder why you are still there. Do you not value your life? I guess if you dont respect yourself and your life, others will disrespect you even more than you can imagine. The road is clear for you to pick race, you never born for am. Marriage is not a do or die affair. Whatever is making you stay there, trust me, you will find a man that can provide more for you and will not touch a hair on your head. If you are trying to prove a point to his parents that the both of you can make it work, forget story and pick race. The battle has already been lost, the guy has someone else and most likely another family that his parents probably approve of. Just call your dad and tell him you are coming home. Pack your load one afternoon when your husband is at work and PICK RACE, DO NOT LOOK BACK! Dont mind all these crazy posters saying it is your fault, it is never your fault but his, he lack emotional maturity and is just not fit or ready for a commitment like marriage. And you know what? Some men never are, and this one will squeeze your neck till you die one day. Are you ready to DIE? Because when you die, he will move his new wife in. They will just claim you died in your sleep. chikena.

Shall be back to tear this post apart.OP better be prepared to defend and prove his findings to convince me of the migration trail, not to talk of the language.I am sure or I hope he has done his research well enough to defend his findings.till then gudnite.

Sorry to be the crapper here, but dis shid don't make sense or convince anyone.Yoruba has a hausa meaning.Sudanese call us Yoruba, just pronounced in the arabic way.Too many inferences in this post.OP pack up this ambition and call it a night.Yoruba's aint middle eastern or Hebrew.No vex.

Too much posing on this thread.O.k banom we know you have an FX35, live in a mansion on your own, have a friend living in Asokoro and have so much money (N4m) to buy a GF another car if she wants.Anything else you want to tell us on NL about how much money you have?

Why is kobojunkie stalking me? I don't understand that woman. Wetin?

A fraud is a fraud is a fraud.The award he won wasn't even about computing but oil.So I wonder what this argument is all about.He never wrote any journal of significance but he misrepresented his achievements to the gullible, bush africans.Which I refuse to be one.There are many more Nigerian's across tribes who are worth the praise.But this dude is a disgrace.He is just like these nuts on here shouting jealousy nd tribalism.As he knows how to shout racism at the drop of a hat when he is asked to prove himself.A very peculiar and common trait I see.

chyz:
Excuse me?? Igbo who? which igbo academics?

Watch the YouTube video sef, this is so annoying that people are supporting him and arguing it sef. This post should not have passed page one.

chyz:
I cant wait till this country breaks up because i see now that we igbos arent giving the yorubas enough space to shine thats why i suggest and will push for us to separate.

Good because it seems Igbo's will defend a criminal as long as he is Igbo. If this guy was Yoruba no one will claim him. You know why? Hes a big DISGRACE. Its not the fact that he is Igbo, but the fact that he is Nigerian and deceived Nigerian's, ad well as exposed them to ridicule through his lies which have gone global.

slap1:
Don't they arrest people for claiming what they are not? Why is Emeagwali still free?

Why would they arrest him? Did he steal or kill anyone? Just like you are free to claim you are whoever on NL Emeagwali is also free to claim anything. People lie about their qualification's all the time. They do not get arrested. He is free to represent/misrepresent himself however he chooses. It is up to us Nigerian's to either be gullible and made fun of, or we debunk it so future fraudsters do not come and show us off as being dumb. Just because he lived in obodo oyinbo and came back doesnt mean he is a Nobel Prize winner.

Ileke-IdI:
So he lied his way into fame. . . . has he not achieved better after that fame? Is he the typical arrogant Nigerian? As you guys have Awolowo, let them have their hero in the light they perceive as, why glorify his "flaws"?

TewMuch, I dey vex for you and Aigbofa. smh

Fine he can be certain people's hero's. Because even Igbo academic's have debunked his claims. But some people here are dying of anger when we speak the truth. Isnt there something wrong here? He is not a Nigerian Hero. finito.

[size=20pt]A country that honors frauds and ignores true achievers and truthful, quiet heroes deserves what is happening to her.[/size]
[/color][/size]

GBAM! GBAM! GBAM! I didnt want to expose the whole thing, but you guys hiding under tribal bias have made me expose it. It is so shameful, please he is not a Nigerian Hero, maybe a hero to some people that are blinded by tribal sentiments. He sure aint my hero.

Intellectual Fraud: Crisis Allegedly Rocks “Philip Emeagwali Myths”—Reports

Intellectual Fraud: Crisis Allegedly Rocks “Philip Emeagwali Myths”—Reports

New York [RR] New York—supercomputing applications, faster speed measured by mega-capacities makes the global community much smaller more than any other time in human history, so is the speed of accessibilites of informations, RepublicReport has gathered.

Recently, there have been intellectual pundits trading claims and counter-claims of alleged discussion of one Emeagwali’s academic credentials, which others call out as intellectual jealousy and envy, others say, “the man is an intellectual fraud”. Reports say, purported intellectual observers like Chioma Ezeilo which others declared as intellectual competitors sees Emeagwali academic record, simply:  “pack of lies, half-truths, self-promotional and self-authentication”, RR has learnt.

Read more…

This page briefly addresses some specific claims appearing on Emeagwali’s self-promotional website and elsewhere. For a more in-depth discussion of Emeagwali’s “outright lies, half-truths, and numerous unsubstantiated claims,” see the article Self-Promotion and Self-Authentication: “Father of the Internet” by Chioma Ezeilo.
[size=14pt]MYTH #1:
Emeagwali made the “world’s fastest computation” in 1989
[/size]
Each year since 1987, the judges for the annual Gordon Bell competition have given out multiple prizes for supercomputing applications, usually including one for performance (fastest speed), and one for price/performance (best speed/cost ratio; specifically, “price-performance ratio as measured in megaflop/s per dollar on a genuine application”).
Despite what you may have read on the Internet, the 1989 prize for the fastest performance was awarded not to Emeagwali, but to another entrant:

In the performance category, we awarded the prize to a team from Mobil Research and Development and Thinking Machines Corp. [, ] Their solution of a seismic data-processing problem ran at almost 6 Gflops on a CM-2 Connection Machine.

“Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize,” IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101

The winning speed of 6 Gflops was almost double that of Emeagwali’s entry (3.1 Gflops, a speed that Emeagwali has repeatedly misrepresented as the “world’s fastest”). The Mobil/TMC team achieved the best price-performance ratio too, but since no entry was allowed more than one prize, the price/performance award passed to Emeagwali (who also used a CM-2 Connection Machine) even though his score in that category was about 20% worse than the leading score:

We awarded the price/performance prize to Philip Emeagwali [, ] His model ran at a price/performance of slightly less than 400 Mflops per $1 million. While the Mobil/TMC team achieved almost 500 Mflops per $1 million, we decided to award only one prize per entry.

“Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize,” IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101

See the yearly results for the performance and price/performance categories. [size=14pt]In no year did Emeagwali achieve what he claims he did.[/size]
[size=14pt]MYTH #2:
Emeagwali won computing’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize
[/size]
In spite of efforts by Emeagwali and his admirers to hype up his $1000 Gordon Bell award as the “Nobel Prize” of computing, the rest of the computing world continues to associate that lofty label with the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won. The Gordon Bell prize, however, is just one of many other annual computing awards, respectable but not at all comparable to either the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award in prestige or prize money. Nor are the selection criteria analogous: Emeagwali was awarded for his performance in an annual competition, not in recognition of lasting contributions to his field.
[size=14pt]MYTH #3:
Emeagwali is a “Father of the Internet”
[/size]
1. Emeagwali’s paternity claims to the Internet are judged and found baseless. Emeagwali has not shown any evidence that he was involved with ARPA or any other research organization or company connected with the genesis of the Internet, nor did he express his ideas in technical journals or any other channel through which he could have influenced the development of the Internet during its formative stages.
2. Is there a father of the Internet? A discussion of the main contenders: JCR Licklider, Bob Taylor, Paul Baran, Donald Davies, and Lawrence Roberts.
[size=14pt]MYTH #4:
The “Connection Machine” was invented by Emeagwali
[/size]
A few Web sources expand the fallacy that Emeagwali created the fastest computer program, insisting that he was also responsible for the massively parallel supercomputer on which the program ran. However, the 65,000-processor “Connection Machine” that allowed such speedy computations was actually the brainchild of Danny Hillis and was built by Thinking Machines Corporation, the company Hillis co-founded. The fact is extensively documented on the web and is so well established that I won’t devote more attention to it.
[size=14pt]MYTH #5:
Emeagwali has lots of patents or patent applications
[/size]
The number of Emeagwali’s patents or patent applications is sometimes claimed to be as high as 30. However, a search of the USPTO and esp@cenet patent databases (as of September 2003) reveals the true number to be zero. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fully searchable online database for all U.S. patents since 1976 as well as all current applications, simply has nothing on file for Emeagwali.
[size=14pt]MYTH #6:
“Dr.” Emeagwali?
[/size]
Emeagwali is frequently referred to on his own and other websites as “Dr. Philip Emeagwali” or simply “Dr. Emeagwali.” Though he did in fact enroll in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, he did not get the degree after failing his qualification examinations twice and having his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty members. Emeagwali subsequently sued the university, alleging civil rights violations and racial discrimination. His case was dismissed without trial. When Emeagwali appealed to a higher court, a three-judge panel rejected his discrimination claims unanimously.

Amiel, Written By
With all due respect, I am very disappointed in your insistence that we honor Emeagwali’s true “achievements” even after confirming for yourself that the man is indeed a fraud of immense proportion, a self-promoting genius who is, in his claimed field of expertise, a mediocre at best. I can understand Ikhide’s frustration. The “debate” on Emeagwali’s intellectual fraud has long been settled in the Nigerian cyberspace.[size=16pt] Only the most fanatical Nigerian and African American sentimental (as opposed to a rational) investors in black scientific heroism, still take the fool seriously[/size]. And, of course, our people back home, for whom even the mere fact of foreign residency is a validation, let alone one that is backed by aggressively deceptive self promotion. Okay, let’s do what you’re asking us to do and strip away the lies, deceptions, exaggerations, false claims, and the entire intellectual pyramid scheme as someone called Emeagwali’s internet based edifice of fraud. When we are done with that, we’re left with:
[size=14pt][b]1. A guy who FAILED his PhD qualifying exam TWICE at my alma mater, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
2. A guy whose doctoral research was subsequently evaluated by internal and external examiners and declared substandard.
3. A guy whose research won a minor THIRD PLACE prize in a very narrow field of applied computing. He was bumped to first place only when the teams ahead of him with higher  computing speed won another prize and therefore forfeited the category to Emeagwali. In other words, he “won” by default. The prize had nothing to do with the internet or even computing as a field. It was for application of computing to oil exploration.
4. A guy who has no single published paper in a peer reviewed publication in his field
5. A guy who has no single patent or “patent pending” as he claims
6. A guy who has managed through internet trickery to get many media organizations, especially the black press, to buy into and as a result, validate his hoax. He then cites those naive, ignorant press validations, recycling them through links, which then show up on google and are then picked up by naive, hero-hunting black folks all over the world. As a fraud, it is very clever, but it is still a fraud and a huge one at that.
7. A guy who has parlayed his falsehoods into all kinds of lucrative speaking engagements in black America, Nigeria, and the Caribbean, deceiving our people who are hungry for heroes and collecting their hard earned money to make them feel good about themselves.
8. A guy who routinely goes around calling himself professor and Dr but who has never taught a university class, failed his PhD, and is not an academic.[/b][/size]
[size=14pt]I can go on, but let me not bore you with that your own research has revealed to you already. So, here you have a guy whose only achievement is the Gordon Bell Prize ($1000), which he won by default after coming THIRD and which he fraudulently calls “the Nobel Prize of Computing.” I put it to you that there are THOUSANDS of Nigerians whose research have won such narrow prizes in their fields and won not by default or by coming THIRD but by beating the competition. They don’t make noise or self-promote. They don’t lie about themselves. They don’t call themselves “Africa’s greatest scientist,” “father of the internet,” etc. Even on this list, there are many scientists who have won more prestigious prizes and awards. Our own Joseph Igietseme recently led a team of scientists at the prestigious CDC to win a highly coveted award in the field of biomedical research. The man did not grab a megaphone to announce that he was the greatest African scientist alive.
Has Nigeria honored the genuine achievers in our midst? How about our own Oga Falola, has he been given a national award let alone being put on a postage stamp? How about Pius Adesanmi and many others who have been making us proud by hauling in prestigious literary prizes from across the world; have they been as much as recognized in Nigeria?
If we’re desperate for heroes, why don’t we honor genuine ones? Why validate liars and frauds like Emeagwali who have actually brought dishonor to the country as their claims have been serially debunked and have been sometimes generalized to Nigerians and “their 419 ways”? Remember that every time their false claims are debunked their nationality and Africanness are referenced. How can that be good for a country that has genuine scientific pioneers working in the most prestigious and cutting edge scientific institutions in the world (CDC, NASA, etc).
As we speak, there is another fraud who has similarly cast a spell on home audiences, hauling in cash and recognition. Dr. Gabriel Oyibo self-describes as a five time Nobel Prize nominee even though Nobel nominations are not revealed until at least a hundred years or so, and even though his peers cannot even vouch for the validity of his bizarre claims, which reside at the confusing intersection of religion, metaphysics, African history and mythology, and physics!
A trained physicist, the man, who cannot even hold down an academic job and has no impressive research pedigree to speak of, claims that he has invented a theory of everything, which he calls GAGUT! The Nigerian national assembly issued a declaration honoring him as a great African scientist! He, too, is on a Nigerian postal stamp!
Oyibo is in some respect even worse than Emeagwali since he actually has a PhD and used to have an adjunct teaching position that gives him a perfect cover to perpetrate his deception. At least Emeagwali is a good motivational public speaker and writer (which I think is his actual calling in life). The GAGUT man speaks in an incomprehensible metaphysical language that is clearly a sign of lunacy.
A country that honors frauds and ignores true achievers and truthful, quiet heroes deserves what is happening to her.[/size]

the poster of this preposterous bullshit and his/her supporters can GO TO HELL AND BURN TO ASHES WTF? Emeagwali remains an indisputably high-profile hero and is even recognized as such by folks here in the United states! at least my friends here attended some of his lectures and were held spellbound by his awesome intelligence and analytical prowess especially with the computer and the cyber world in general. (FYI HIS ARCHIVE OF ACHIEVEMENTS ARE RIGHT IN OUR UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND ACCESIBLE FOR RESEARCH) AND bleep OFF HATERS!

Check again if they are still there. I am sure we would have been able to access it online if it was. Also, you can do us the favor of providing us with it. From what i have read about this issue the guy misrepresented himself. Simple.

This article is fraudulent, Jonathan is just beating around the bush. DOnt Nigerian's have a right to know who these 5 are? They are just releasing rapid and rubbish statements to ease Nigerian's and their anger. Jonathan is a fraud. He either comes clean and is transparent or confesses that he is unable to produce the bombers.
