I definitely second that although I give him a tiny bit of credit for the Gordon Bell Prize. He spoilt it all by
blowing it all out of proportion. A catch that was just 2 “ long became a monster two miles long.

Emeagwali is a confirmed fraudster!

"During his doctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan in the 1980s, Philip Emeagwali researched how to simulate the detection of oil reservoirs through the use of computers. Originally from Nigeria, he knew more about oil drilling than many of his contemporaries, and he used more than 65,000 microprocessors instead of the proposed eight supercomputers, breaking computation speed records."
See the entire list here...
It must be Black History Month, folks eager to demonstrate the obvious, that blacks are also super-achievers, put all sorts of stuff out there that can be debunked by simply googling... Emeagwali continues to lie his way through fame... ;-)
