Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: PROFESSOR TOYIN FALOLA HAS NO CONNECTION WITH THE CRITIQUES OF PHILIP EMEAGWALI

Mwalimu Afolabi, you should have just told the IDIOTS that Mwalimu Toyin Falola does not have the time or the knack for such nonsense; he has better things to do with his time. It is quite obvious that many of Philip Emeagwali's critics know very little or nothing about Computer Science. Thus, they do not understand what the man's contribution means to the field. While some of his claims are exaggerated, it cannot be denied that he has made a contribution. When these journalists decide to do serious investigations, they will seek the expertise of those African scholars in the field of Computer Science.

In Peace Always,
Abdul Karim Bangura/.
