Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: A Brief History of the Internet: Vint Cerf et al

Imagine! This is what he does; he plants his delusions and falsehoods on many black websites and presses by approaching the editors and webmasters as he approached you. He also puts those spurious claims on the many websites that he and his wife have acquired for the purpose of proliferating and furthering the fraud. This is how the internet got populated by his false claims. That's how a lie-riden biographical summary he wrote about his "achievements" went viral to the point of getting picked up by the LSAT to fulfill the need for diversity in the test!! The man is despicable. You resisted being used by him; many of our people who did not know about his history of fraud, proudly embraced and disseminated his falsehoods, becoming unwitting participants in the scam.

On or about 2008, I received an email from Mr. Phillip Emeagwali, in which he requested the help of cafeafricana.com to disseminate information regarding his achievement as the "father of the Internet."

I respectfully advised him via Horde webmail to refrain from proclaiming himself as "the father of Internet." Additionally, I advised him to seek psychological counseling for his delusions of grandeur.  

 

Mr. Phillip Emeagwali is NOT one of the fathers of the Internet.
