Ken Harrow,
Are you reading right at all? Philip Emeagwali allegedly made this claim. And Gloria Emeagwali had this evidence. What is wrong in asking to see the same evidence of this claim she has in her custody?
If Philip Emeagwali succeeded in conning us all, we would like to see evidence to that effect to help us revise the perceptions of him that we bought. I would like to see solid evidence to strip a man of his pretensions.
Are we now indulging this primitive mindset of crucifying anyone who asks a question, like is Bolaji Aluko's stock in trade when he is peddling cant?

this is pretty silly. how do you prove that you have not been someone's wife? produce the certificate of non-marriage? wouldn't he be the one to show the certificate? her denial in court, absent his proof, would strike me as a valid claim ken At 05:17 PM 9/29/2010, you wrote: Definitive and verifiable evidence that Phillip Emeagwali falsely claimed a woman as his wife when in fact the woman is not his wife, cannot be a disclaimer by the woman claimed as wife.
This is not to say that Phillip did not make a false claim.
The point being made here is that Franklyne Ogbunwezeh is well within his rights to request evidence of the false claim that informed or necessitated the disclaimer.

"Did Philip Emeagwali claim someone as his wife? Where is the evidence."
- Franklyne Ogbunwezeh
Franklyne:
Did you actually read Gloria Emeagwali's email below, which says in-part the following?
"…Philip Emeagwali had the audacity to place my photo next to his- by cut 'n paste wizardry- to make the fraudulent claim that I was his wife."
While reasonable people can argue about some aspects of Phlip Emagwali's (bogus) claims, "water don pass garri" in this case. I beg, make you no defend the indefensible –oh.

Did Philip Emeagwali claim someone as his wife? Where is the evidence. Has the man talked? If he has, I need to know what he said. I never heard this man claim to be the father of the internet. It has always been ascribed to him. All I head him say is that he did a calculation in 1989 that was up to that time not the case.
I need information on the claims he made. Can someone direct me accordingly.

Ayo,
Your conclusion is apt "doing it a bit too brown". You have succeeded in nailing Phillip in his "wriggle room". It was timely that Prof. Emeagwali (the real one) came out with this fact. It is appalling that a man can stoop so low.

Honestly, the scientiests and IT and computer specialists will know whether there is any substance in Philip Emeagwali's claims about his fatherhood of or unclehood or second cousin twice removed-hood to the Internet. Perhaps there is some 'wriggle room' there - though since it seems possible to trace the only sources that appear to acknowledge the great man's greatness back to the great man himself it is probably 'wriggle' only in the sense of the fish on the hook.
But when a man claims a wife that he never married as his! I mean, come ON! That is doing it a bit too brown!

Toyin,
The Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) administers the Law Schools Admissions Test (LSAT). Their contact information is at:
http://www.lsac.org/AboutLSAC/contact-lsac.asp.
I strongly suggest that we all write to the LSAC to complain about this travesty and explain patiently to them the monumental fraudster that Mr. Philip Emeagwali is. The man is obviously suffering from delusions of grandeur, which is unfortunate. However to the extent that he is hurting our reputations, the man must be stopped. Toyin, I would be happy to sign on to any correspondence that you craft to go to the LSAC and any other reputable organization that has been snookered by this buffoon. There is hope; already several institutions are pulling his nonsense down from their websites. We must not relent until this man repents. I have copied the LSAC on this email. They should know that their last LSAT examination was tainted by the devious antics of that fraudster called Mr. Philip Emeagwali. If the LSAC does not investigate this fraud, I am prepared to go to the American press on this. The man is endangering the test scores of tens of thousands of youngsters. This is an outrage.

How can the LSAC be so snookered/ All they needed to do was google the fool.

Ikhide,
I see this LSAT test paper that references Emeagwali's achievements is from Emeagwali's website.
Does anyone know what country this exam was set in?
I want to ask the compilers of the question on Emeagwali the sources of their information.
I want to find out why I cannot find information on Emeagwali on academic fora.I want to know why I cannot find evidence of his work being discussed by scientists.
Thanks
Toyin

Moses,
To give you an example of how bad the Emeagwali virus is, a passage about him just made it into the LSAT ;-) At least here they didn't call him the Father of the Internet. The man is a genius sha, I give it to him.
Enjoy ;-)
