Truly Igbos are Jews. If only they would be thankful and serve God appropriately.

SalamRushdie:
Another Nigerian lie just like the one that said this same man founded the internet

LastProphet:


am surprised to see a fraud like emiagwali resurrected in a large forum like nairaland

Built2last:
Make I no lie. I came to check names. It's usually a battle royale between Afonja a.K.a brown roof Republic versus the Flaties a.k.a Ipob...let the battle begin.

Middle belt is refree

Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.

Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer, mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum fields.

He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified IQ of 190 and directly above 10th placed Garry Kasparov who is alleged to have an IQ of 190.

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.

The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The supercomputer spawned the Internet.

Emeagwali’s 1970s hypothesis on 64,000 networked computers around the Earth led to his programming of 64,000 processors inside a big box to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second, a world record in 1989. For the latter achievement, he won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the “Nobel prize of supercomputing.”

I remember the lie.

The man is a fraud.

zachanalysis:
you need to come back to reality from the world of illusion. The OP just played an 'April fool' joke on you. Don't get ahead of yourself. Go and check the fact.

yom2:
when bill clinton came to nigeria during obasanjos regime, he made reference to emeagwali when he was addresing d issue of d niger delta and d oil curse, advicing that nigerians shouid try and tap more of whats in their brain than beneath d earth. Thats when i got to know d guy for d first time. I think he deserves some accolade

Bollinger:


Lol. He said "blessing to Nigeria". Funniest thing i ever heard. Nothing is a blessing in Nigeria. You are all cursed. Prove me wrong if you disagree. The guy is a blessing to another country. Do you think he would achieve what he has if was in Nigeria? He probably would have been killed by ritualist, jungle justice, armed robbers, etc. You pick one.

Jman06:
For all you doubting Thomases, check more facts about Emeagwali at emeagwali.com/. He's indeed a genius!

DirewolfofStark:
You're actually wrong in one detail: The Gordon Bell Prize is not the Nobel prize of computing.
The highest honor given to a computer scientist is the Turing Prize.

DollarAngel:



I feel your pain it natural for one to be jealous, try and celebrate success or achievement when you come across one below is the link if you need to see it yourself you should have know by now that we are

jpphilips:


You the op is a m0r0n, even Philip Emeagwali himself will be shocked at the nonsense you wrote, just look at the source you quoted in public.
Does igbobia.com measure people's IQ you dumb fvck!!

guy30stainless:
[color=#000099][/color] Chai God just give me half of this guy's brain. E too much for one person

texazzpete:
5 pages of people actually believing an article with no source other than 'Igbobia'.

This article does a great job of summing up the IQ of the various Nairalanders who have been jumping up in glee in this topic.

Not sure why a mod saw fit to push this to front page, but it's time Nairaland joined the battle against fake news.

Zhirinovsky:
Tribalism and hatred won't allow you to reason. He was a victim of racism. The whites hate seeing africans being described as more intelligent. Go to american tertiary institutions and see for yourself that nigerians are the most intelligent but the whites would rather steal their work and give to their fellow whites than to recognise african brilliance.
Emegwali's achievements pains white america till date and they are looking for a way to strip off his accolades.
Ever wondered why a nigerian student will finish with a 3rd class here only to relocate to the u.s for a second degree and come out with a first class?

Cyberrex:
his contribution to d country is what that matters

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

If he is who he claims to be, many other sites will talk about him, why should all the stories about Emeagwali com from his site?

metrosexual:
I had no doubt it would be Philip when I saw this topic on frontpage.

Igbo kwenu! (I'm not Igbo though, but I'm proud of this man, putting our name for good things worldwide)

happydays1:

obasanjo invited him and okonjo ,to come and work for their country, only oknjo left w bank to work for Nigeria. EMA did not come, today his decision has saved his name because okonjos name has been rubbished by ungreatful tribal bigots.
