Quest for Internet In the 84th installment of our weekly series at emeagwali.com, we focus on how ad agencies used Philip Emeagwali as a celebrity icon. Below are two full page Toyota ads. The ad featuring Emeagwali was part of Toyota’s "Moving Forward" series. It ran on heavy-rotation for two years in about five hundred newspapers, magazines, and radio stations.
The ad agency explained that Toyota shares an important goal with Philip Emeagwali, namely, the desire to continuously work to get more out of life.
Emeagwali’s discoveries and inventions capture the spirit of "there's no best ... only better." The same spirit is also captured in Toyota's message, "Moving Forward," which features people who helped humanity move forward into the age of information.
"This is an important step for our brand," said Jim Lentz, group vice president of Toyota marketing. 'Moving Forward' means that we have a passion for innovation and discovery and that we're never standing still. As a result, we're designing and building cars and trucks that help our customers achieve their goals."
That this international citizen of science is a Biafran, is enough for the world to recognise the potentials wasting in Biafra. More Phillip Emeagwalis are locked in the dungeons of the geographical expression called Nigeria by its brutes masqurading as democrats and leaders. Sad enough, these "leaders" do not subscribe to the survival of Biafra.

Mazi Calculus, you are blessing to your generation and a great pride to
Africa and the world. You believed in your convictions and you were convicted for your belief(s). Nevertheless, sheer grit and rugged determination, in spite of the opprobrium that greeted your ground breaking reasoning. Your determination to show the entire world that you were not jiving was inspiring and heart warming. Please apply the same wisdom you adopted in the remote programming of them processors to solve the 3.1 billion problems bedevilling Africa. Well done.
Just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed the Out of Africa section on this site. It is very interesting to read about the experiences of a country boy from Nigeria making his way to college in the U.S. – quite an unprecedented ordeal it seems.
I am glad to read of your successful adjustments, especially during such a difficult decade as the 1970s. I too was in school in Oregon in the 1970s, which is what led me to that section on this site.

What did you invent? / What stages of inventing did you go through when you were working on your invention? / Were you working by yourself or with a team? / Why do you like inventing? / What makes you a good inventor? / How did you get your idea for the invention?

Henderson, Susan. ( ). AFRICAN AMERICAN INVENTORS. Emegawali.com. Retrieved by Lettie A. Davis pen Euroclydon on 11/11/2008 from: http://www.emeagwali.com/interviews/capstone... Annotation: Mr. Emeagwali has examined the phenomena of two styles of study-ers, how they study and the features of those modes of study and transfered that knowledge to how he should study a phenom found in his laboratory of the mind...otherwise a battlefield without the tools he found in observing these two styles. Susan the interviewer asks Mr. Phillip: How did you get your idea for the invention? In reading one finds comments on the two styles:Convergent & divergent thinking. In reading the article found at
the referenced site one may identify the phenom found as: methods and procedures. Because the industry could not believe and or understand what Mr. Phillip was 'saying' their find in Emeagwali resulted in the creation of a new phenom on the horizon of computer technology "SCALABILITY". "Today scalability is cool and every vendor promises that their system is scalable." Emeagawali: The inventor of. Euroclydon.

: Dear Dr. Philip & Dr. Dale Emeagwali, : I am a man of mixed blood Native American. I believe the Earth cannot heal until the indigenous peoples in all lands regain greater dominion over their respective
original homelands. We must make 3.1 billion good decisions per second to harmonize our impact with Nature. Calculation of the global weather with your massively parallel 12 dimensional genius inspires imagination to shift this effort from passive observation to active preservation with equal gusto. Reading your wonderful site helps restore my faith that many young people will soon unite their efforts to restore full power to the natural health of the Perfect Blue Earth. Worldwide Efforts to reunite the natural resilience of the people with Nature's Threshold must gain modern support of technology. Can you find a way to apply your connection technology to help
honeycombs everywhere keep on buzzing with Nature's sweetness for millenniums to come? The power resident within the women of the earth remains essentially untapped as if tightly held in great reservations a theid apart awaiting the pull of the Moon... ...For this time of unprecedented need a new strata... a uncrossed threshold of natural energy remains pooled beneath observation awaiting opportunity to arise as One! Mother Nature Herself personified with human intelligence is this force embodied within those we love as our own. It is my prayer through dreams that the men of the Earth will find the wisdom to release this "Jeannie" from the bottle... ...her home for
millions is our own! : My dreams are real. They are lived and scribed with all sincere accuracy possible to allow by the new "creation buffer" method. Allow to share with your stature of high hope readers. There is a Nubian series of dreams that especially needs to be interpreted by many. A gift from one indigenous side of the world to the other. Patience at first, as dreams : reside at the cutting edge of our understanding. : Of importance to new readers is a needed word missing in English and central to this work; the term "Sho" is coined for womankind the complementary term of endearment to "Bro". : The in-sight was...

The entire world is proud of you especially we African Americans who mostly descended from Africa. It's time that we start reversing the brain drain and lend our inventions to better mother African. Good job Phillip and may God give you long life.
Mr.Emeagwali is a man of inspiration and a hope to pepole of all color. Prof. Phillip Emeagwali's achievements in spite of his adversities should be heralded througout all nations.

I do not agree with the view expressed by Prof. Emeagwali on Africa's way out of "poverty" because Africa is "poor" and not poor, and poverty is not solved through unrealistic theories.
You seems to have an unforgiven memory of the civil war. Please neither the late sage Awo, his yoruba tribe or the Hausas that you errorously try to portray as those who plotted evil against igbos are guilty of the crimes you are trying to ascribe to them on your site. The Nigerian Civil war was an unneccessary ill, everyone suffered the consequences of that war. Beside do not forget the igbos attack yoruba land to Ore in present day Ondo state during the start of the war. Lets forgive past and move forward p-l-e-a-s-e.
You've amazed me, the way you did your supercomputer, its good to know that someone like is a role model in face of people like us and, truly you have inspired me in a lot of ways. But one important suggection from to you is to make sure you have your foundation here in Nigeria, at least to encourage
Burundi learning the achievements of Whites and all those lies such as Euclide is Greek and all other useless thing like the birthdays of French kings. You guess from where? From a Black teacher and a french made book. But I had to.
Thanks to God now I have a computer and connection, I can learn the truth of human history.
Good day sir, indeed you are a genius per excellent. Nigeria as a country and Africa as a continent is pround to have sombody great like. Sir how can i have contact with you cos i want to be known like can you help me?
himself Abbey Ige who wrote in from Nevada. Mr Ige claims to have an objective assessment of what he considers to be the unfair treatment the Late Gen Philip Effiong received from the Igbos. This according to him, started from Prof Emeagwali's website which the Igbos ('of all people') are using as a platform for 'insulting Gen Efiong who saved them'. One thing is immediately evident in that write up: Mr Ige was born an Igbophobist. He has an axe to grind with Igbos and he alone can explain what the matter is. But I have one message for Mr Ige (if his burning hatred will let him listen). The Igbos were created by God just like all other tribal groups in Nigeria. It is God's intention that the Igbo race
will remain. No amount of hatred by the likes of Ige will exterminate the Igbos. Mr Ige must learn to accept that the Igbos are a part of Nigeria. If Nigeria was made bad by Mr A or Chief B or General C, it is not because he/she is Igbo or Yoruba or Hausa or Ijaw etc. Decent people do not hold tribes responsible for actions carried out by persons. I'm sure this is too high an ideal for the likes of Mr Ige but the truth must be told. Dr Chris Ngige whom Mr Ige maligned is one of the best governors that Nigeria ever had and Anambra State indigenes have never failed to acknowledge that fact. I hope and pray that the real problem is not that Abbey Ige is jealous of Prof Emeagwali's achievements. If that is his
aggro, then I am very sorry for him. Meanwhile, Prof fire on. The Good Lord is on your side. He has chosen you for countless graces and no one can change it, no matter his tribe or inclinations. Jisike!

Beloved Emeagwali, u are cherished by many and love by all in my family by the great thing which u have succeded in doing in the world of IT. Ur talent had call for a celebration in Africa and in Nigeria even in the world
fell Mr.Emeagwali can be an inspiration and a hope to pepole of all color.Phillip Emeagwali's achievements in spite of his adversities should be heralded

You went far in the world of dead/inert matter by uncovering a powerful way to master structure. The underlying prime mover/maker of any structure is still to be made fully usable for the good of Africa & Humanity : A quest now in full blown. May we meet in that endehavour. OKOUMA ([email protected])
with this kind of greatness. May almighty God continue to be with you always in Jesus name. Please prof., we need your asistance in development of IT technology in Anambra state of Nigeria. Thanks be bless.
It is my pleasure to mail you but I wish to crave your indulgence for contact you at this point in time, I must say that I am proud of you despite I haven’t seen you in person, you obviously proved a good Igbo man, a good Nigerian, a
good African citizen. with heart of love I kudos all your effort to us in general. May the Lord God Almighty bestowed upon you His divine Wisdom in addition to the uncommon ideas in you. Because I have been challenged by your Article with Celtel magazine Quarter 1, 2007. Right in there you make me proud and to think more valiantly on how I can consume more ideas and information as much as possible.
Please I need a personal word of encouragement from you, for one reason. I have read much about you but then I need just a word from you.
There is no doubt that you are a genius and deserve every commendation. However, I think it is a shame that your section on Biafra provides a channel through which Igbos of all people insult and malign
the late General Philip Effiong. No matter what people say about free speech, we have those that are sacred in our culture and who should never be publicly set up for insults, especially from worthless ingrates who have never done anything for Nigeria. Igbo people have moral grounds to reject Dr Azikiwe for abandoning them towards the end of Biafra, and to also reject Ikemba Ojukwu who fled Biafra when they most needed him. They also have good reasons to ostracize the likes of former Governor Ngige
and Chris Uba who have brought shame on them. And yet, your website would never provide the opportunity for these people to be attacked. But you allow your site to be a tool through which General Philip Effiong, your savior, is discredited. This is most shameful and a sign of ingratitude, all because this noble man is not an Igbo man. In fact, this man’s courage is acknowledged outside eastern Nigeria and even globally. Just review the international response to his death. As a Yoruba man, I think I am in a
position to be objective about this. You, as well as the Igbos who have insulted General Effiong through your website, are where you are because of this great hero, and not because of your abandonment by the great Zik or Ikemba, and certainly not because of the Ngiges and Chris Ubas who are currently bringing disgrace upon you. I think you should reconsider allowing your site to be used as a forum for insulting the one man to whom all Igbos should be eternally grateful.
Dr. Phillp Emeagwali I agree the motherland Africa supreme gift to humanity are the math and sciences. In Gods eyes we all are tremendous mortals. However, each individual needs to ascertain their own genius and then make the best of them. I was significantly inspired with you ability to pursue your education and mesmerized by your superior achievement in science. More people in the western world need to hear your story about a great African from Nigeria, because
I really like ur works, uve don well 4 nigeria by protrayn a good image of us out dere, telln dem we ave resourceful pple here. Thanks nd God bless u, nigerians out dere nd we here.

I was greatly inspired by the lofty accomplishment of Prof.Emeagwali....he is an epitome of ingenuity for all Africans who have always been intellectually-undermined by the likes of former Australian PM and his ilks.Ride on Prof.you are

Sir, I have always admired and loved your achievements. You are a true ambassador of Nigeria, your tremendous achievements encourages the youths of africa that they could get to any height in life as far as they are determined. You are a sunshine and motivation to African youths and I respect you alot.
In the sight of God, we all are awesome creature. However, it is left for each individual to dicover their talent and make the best of it. Prof, it is an honour to know and read about people like you........because, its very inspiring. I hope Your son knows how blessed he is to have a dad like u.....he also should continue in that same spirit.
Hi Prof.I have helped in spreading your name and invention to the conservative white people who never belief anything great could come out of blacks and indeed Africa.
Dear Prof.. You're a blessing.. and thanks for making me proud to be an African. I hope and pray that most black kids can know about ur achievement, especially in Southern Africa.
Your achievements are a great insp[ration to generations yet unborn.Nigeria,Africa indeed the world has a genius, whose sucess has a multiplier effect to all, who care.May the Almighty God ,continue to inspire you to even greater, unexplored areas of human knowledge.
AFRICA OWES YOU APLENTY FOR YOUR SINGULAR, MILLENIAL ACHIEVEMENTS. YOU DID NOT CARVE A NICHE FOR JUST NIGERIA BUT THE ENTIRE THIRD WORLD. THE ALMIGHTY HAS GIVEN YOU THE TALENT TO ENHANCE THE ENDEAVORS OF MANKIND
Dearest Prof. You are in no doubt one of the worlds prominent inventors,innovator,accomplisher and to say the least, a moving scientific encyclopadia. You have however carved a place for yourself in the anals of world history,but remember to whom much is given much is expected, whether you like it or not,you owe it as a duty to the society that gave you life to create more Emeagwalis.My brother,for a person of your calibre to remain
in another mans country for more than two centuries is not a credit. Come home and help develop the Igbo land,on that posterity will write your name in gold '' Obu aku lue uno,oburu ezigbo aku''
I'm proud of you on your great achievements. However effort needs to be organized privately to share and spread these intellectual knowledge that comes easy to you. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of minds that can and should be molded toward productive activities in Nigeria and on the Continent as a whole. Keep the faith but more importantly, do something.

Infact an really happy to know that he is a nigerian born in the western part of the country. I on my part have made research works to improve my technological skills and I am determined to take a giant stride in this aspect of my career. Although am still in the university and I know that a day will come when I will enter into the office of these (epitome of great inventions) PHILIP EMEAGWALI to
interact with him and gain a lot from him also so that I also one day will make africa proud and the world at large, by a greater invention. THAT DAY I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH!!!

your scientific discoveries made me and rest of the world to believe that black race is
not left out in the scientific world..many years ago,westerners thought that scientif ic discoveriesand invention were left for them,they thought that black race especially in africa were created to fill an island,your hyperbollic equation which lead to what we all known today as internet threw their negative thought about black man into bemudda triangle.the electronic processor which u programed with a 5 digit number (6500) that can manipulate 3.1 billion manipulatiion n a second
brought a great recognition to black man and black scientist indeed.Dear prof.,i will like to use this opportunity to give u an idea of building a foundation which should be named after u .EMEAGWALI FOUNDATION.The foundation should be helping of gifted and talented children in africa especially in nigeria.there are many gifted and talented children in nigeria..

Your achievement has been an inspiration to many including me. With that in mind, i passed your name as one of the greatest black scientist onto one of our training providers to use you as a role model for others as there were no black scientist included. I do hope that others will be able to appreciate and learn from your achievements. Well done and i wish you all the best
MANY SONS HAVE DONE BRILLIANTLY WELL BUT YOU SURPASSED THEM ALL. I DO HOPE YOUR SPIRITUAL ANTENNA IS AS SHARP AS YOUR ENVIABLE INTELLECTUAL ENDOWMENTS. DON'T MISS HOME BROTHER! I MEAN HEAVEN. ALL IS VARNITY WITHOUT GOD, SAYS SOLOMON. KNOW HIM? HE IS A GENIUS LIKE YOU.
No doubt you are one of the rare gems that mother Africa has shown to the world. Your achievements have surpassed that of your contemporaries. I believe that with individuals like you, Africa will, in no distant future get back on track. The brain drain issue is so devastating when you really take an indepth analysis of it. But what can we do?. I think with people like you and a government that is responsive
to the yearnings and aspirations of Africans, we can really turn things around and create a better world here in Africa that we all will proudly call our own.

Hello Phillip, I am an African American male. What I have read about you so far has inspired me to read on and research even more great men and women of African descent. I thank you for reaching out to educate the world, and promote
positive change and inspire those who need to see one of their own achieve, in spite of the obstacles that may stand in their way. I, too, have been inspired to learn more, do more and teach more to others about the blessings and gifts that our people have already contributed to this world. I've always tried to convey to others, especially African Americans I encounter, the potential that we all possess and dreams we can bring into fruition through faith in our abilities; the determination in our hearts and persevering

Dear Prof, You are a source of inspiration to the young ones.Having read your articles
EMEAGWALI-I-I-I-I! How are you dear brother? Your name and work were given to me almost a year ago (February 2005) with the intentions of including your name on a list of Inventors for African American History Month and to introduce your name and profound work to the public libraries' patrons and community-at-large whom may not have heard of you. The paper got misplaced until this week. Keeping a promised made back then, before losing the document with your website on it, I visited your site the other
day. WOW! Through GOD's Grace and mercy, may you continue to walk and do good, great things for the inhabitants of this great planet. You also make one proud to be of African descent in spite of the negative images and beliefs that have historically affected the epic memory of those of us born out in the Diaspora. The children with whom I meet, greet and perform for (and with) as a professional storyteller WILL KNOW the name, reason, and favorite music of EMEAGWALI for sure this
I had heard so much about you and was lucky to read your article titled"where is Africa going wrong". Then I visited this website and concluded that there is hope for Africa!
Sawubona, I congratulate you in the names of our amadlozi (ancestors) on your achievements as well as you inspiration to our young. It is necessary that we develop a support system our scientists’, thinkers and builders. We must cherish those who have continued the legacy of Imhotep. May the African continent become united against all forms of imperialism.
Dear Professor Emeagwali, Your contribution to the knowledge baseof our World is invaluable. On 3/12/06 I shall be attending the AFRICA FORUM in Wittenberg here in GERMANY to present you as best example of Entrepreneural spirit from Africa.I am a student in International Health here.

Sir, i most sincerely say that we, the younger generation of Nigeria are being encouraged by what you are doing. Atleast we can show the world that goodthings can come out of Nigeria, and there are more that are yet budding so they should just be on the look out for more of your likes in
nigeria... Sir, i believe that all you need to do to us the younger generation is to constantly give useful advices and lead rightly and then we'll follow diligently and explore other areas that are yet untapped then, we see who will set limits for us.... Kudos to you sir, and keep up the good work.
hey there good job on the super computer any way i am fighting for my future just like you if i am lucky i will get something any way i am a friend of bills (clitnton)s and i am saying hi bud
There is hope for our continent, yes, there is! People like you have given that hope and I believe generations to come can definitely tap into it. 10 of your kind, and I believe Africa will no doubt takes it's unique place in human history. Prof, you've shown us that we can accomplish much if we put our minds to it.
Thank you for given the black race a ray of hope for today and tomorrow.
I THANK GOD FOR A GREAT MIND SUCH AS OUR VERY OWN DR. EMEAGWALI. JUST READ THE 'INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL' AND AM SO THRILLED AT DOCS THOTS. ALSO TO LET HIM KNOW AM JUST NOW RESEARCHING (PhD) AT ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN - I AM LOOKING AT THE SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF POVERTY! THANKS DOC.

SPEAK ABOUT BIAFRA ALONE, WILL BE A GREAT DIS-SERVICE TO OUR AFRICAN BRETHREN. COULD WE PLEASE LOOK INTO THE FUTURE WITH SOME CHALLENGING VIEWS ON HOW TO RE-MAKE BLACK AFRICA.

Good day to you. I realy appreciate the hand of God on you for such wonderful exploit in IT. I am very much interested in IT industrial, how do I reach you but you can get me on 234 802 742 8492
aware of who you were until my 10 year old was given an assignment to do an biography of a scientist/mathematician. I was intriged by al the information that was available and forever marked by your accomplishments. Thank you
You are an inspiration not only in the field of science, but also in the way you have made a connection between our history as Africans (black people) and how it has affected us today and will affect the future. People need to understand how much
blacks have done. The sad thing here is that we keep waiting for other races to publish and spead info on how great blacks are. How can we expect them to do so? We are the ones that have to do this. Why can't we handle our own business? Forget them giving us credit, we should give ourselves credit. We are humans just like everyone else on this planet. Who or what are we waiting for? If the young kids do not know who or what is what, then the enlightened adults need to take it upon themselves to shed light on the facts. If there are not enough computers in
Africa to get this info out, then do it the old fashioned way with handed-out print info. Full color post cards/flyers can be shipped and handed out in schools stating the facts in ways that these kids will connect with. Items like this do not cost that much these days. If the governments will not do this, then the private sector should. Let us start a movement today ....Propaganda to empower and boost the self esteems of our youth. All Africans are great, we really are. Most of all we do not need any approval from other races. Let us love ouselves first.
A genius in our time. You make my life whole by your accomplishments, unrivalled, unequalled by any one.Keep the flag flying.You are truly loved and God loves you more. Ikenna Onyeso

I hereby vote you in my world as My Great Hero, My Great Role Model, and My Archetype of Excellence.
I admire your spirit of enterprise and of endeavour.You have shed lustre on Biafran - our country and our race. You have proved by example that tenacity of purpose is the key to unlock the barred gates of mystery and of fate. You have
taught me by your efforts that the word "impossiblity" must be erased from my mind, and that with requisite determination, assiduity, self confidence and industry, the dizzy heights of academic fame can no longer be reserved for a given few.
On your Speeches especially the one Titled: " How Do We Reverse the Brain drain?" and "Black History:Lost, Stolen or Strayed" if i did not learn any thing, I learnt to intensify in my struggle to receive a better education, and it also dawn on me that Education is the sore need of our country(Nigeria) and the education that she is needs is in my own words, "not Europeanising, but rather Euro- Africianising the

Dear Professor Emeagwali, though I have been constantly perusing your site, this is the first time I have posted in quite a long time. I have finished my Masters and starting a PhD. Like you, I had to leave Nigeria, specifically U.N.N. due to strike and as a result, will finish my PhD in my early thirties rather than
earlier. However, like I had posted a while back, every time I have hit a wall, I come back here to get inspiration to continue. Your words about geniuses is one that I definitely agree with and have observed. This has given me an optimistic outlook in that nothing fashioned by other human beings is impossible to learn. I have also learned that only true geniuses can really make anyone understand esoteric knowledge in basic terms as you have shown. I still mourn the true and just Biafrans that died for the struggle and those that are still suffering in Nigeria. I am trying to start a small
unit of Nigerian experts that will help train the eager and bright young minds in Nigeria. After several years of information gathering, I believe that the best way to save the country and the continent is through immediate application of technical knowledge backed by a sound theory that produces visual results. I was wondering if you have ever initiated any such exercise and if so, what practical advice you can offer.
You are wonderful.black people are brain washed, they do not even know about like you who are more than tough.please keep the spirit.you are like Ishango bolongo.the African who encrypted the I shango bone;oldest mathematical script

Sir, I was honored to receive a phone call from you in 2005, & the only exhilarating experience I can compare the encounter of that day to, is the way I felt in Jan 2001 when I was granted a students visa to the United States. Knowing fully well that the nature of your work and the towering responsibilities only allows you enough time to return only 2 to 3 calls per week, and these calls are chosen randomly. Sir, it’s an honor to be associated to you, either remotely or anyhow. I feel Inspired, Informed & Involved with your works and the
light that you and other great African over-achievers have lit in our hearts & minds. Shine on sir, shine on and make the mountains a plain for us the up and coming. Shine on, sir, and make the valleys a level ground for those yet un-born. Shine on Sir, and give a human face to the Blackman, a face filled with the light & the force of knowledge and wisdom. Such that whenever these people of a different skin color, that believe that nothing good can come out of Black-Africa, as they stare into your face, the rays of light & the heat of knowledge coming from you, will melt away their doubtful minds. Shine on sir, and let the heat
from your mind heat up our on minds as well, that we being activated by this light will jointly cause a glorious light to reside in Black Africa. I look forward with bubbling interest, to yet another direct encounter with you. I remain respectfully yours Ike Chidolue [email protected]
Like a tree that falls in the forest and there is no one to here its mighty thunder, many lights like you are dimmed by extraordinary circumstances that frustrates Africa and African.

I am proud of you as nwa afo Igbo. Part of our responsibility as Nigerians in diaspora is to continue to engage in 'think home philosophy'; trying to know if we can take home some of our great achievemnets abroad.
I think you are already engaged in this, but you can still convince your friends and associates to go and invest in Nigeria and in ala Igbo particularly.
Keep moving to greater heights. We support you with prayers.You are an asset to our world. You have made the black man proud in the computer world.
To God be the Glory Great things He has done in the life of our brother ,Emeagwali..thank God for the wisdom and intelligence vested on him......Remain blessed Great one......and love you.

wars,diseases,hunger,strife,corruption,with our cities being given a ghetto status.What a deceit from them who came here to rape our women,exploited our resources and planted a seed of discord among us.They are still on it even now.Only time and God will execute judgement on them.We will always prove to them that we are not descendants of apes.The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first,i believe stongly on this though it might not happen in my generation.So big Bros keep embarrassing them with your astonishing discoveries.Whether they like your colour or not they must bow to you to tap from your wealth of experience.But remember that that which you are doing over here can equally be done here.Aku rue ulo......
I am a law student at the Howard University School of Law. I along with a couple of my friends are putting together a nonprofit event in the NY/NJ area during the weekend of June 30-July 2nd, called the Metro College Reunion. I would like to invite you and everyone to this event
as a guest, and if possible as one of the individuals to sit in on our panel. This event is not like your regular reunion. There are two underlying purposes; (1) to create a venue where people will meet with other young professionals to network, and (2) to create a venue where people who attended school in Nigeria will meet up with fellow alums with the sole purpose of exploring ways to help the education system in Nigeria. Which school you donate to, what to do with the
money and how to organize for the donations is entirely up to the attendees. Our role in this is merely to provide a venue to make it happen. We have put together quite a most enjoyable and entertaining weekend because we believe that we might as well get started on being "the leaders of tomorrow". I hope you can attend this event because at the forefront of creating a better and progressive Nigeria, we need people of Nigerian ancestry such as yourself who are
If you are interested in attending this event or in helping us with the forum, please feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] or visit our site at http://gsso.net/reunion2006..

I have learned a great deal in this website. Your honesty, hard work, and discipline has earned you a million dollar ticket, fame, and most importantly you have
contributed or invented a mathematics formula that has revolutionalized the computer industry and other field. It is something that will be known in a life time. Great work, you have proved wrong the ignorant, racist white supremacy in the west. I was so socked to know that Euclid the great mathematician was a black African. This white supremacy has created a dysfunctional historical scholarship. Writing books for the past five hundred years glorifying themselves at the expense of others especially black Africans. I am a Kenyan 100% African. I would prefer that African people
to start teaching African children African history especially about the great kemetic people and possibly refer to themselves as the children of the great kemetic people because we are truly the kemetic people. I believe that we are the descendant of the great kemetic people. I would truely like you to take your expertise and leapfrog Africa to the modern age. My dream is to see Africa as a united states of Africa. It’s so sad that we are not controlling our own resources. Our continent is the wealthiest in natural resources yet we are the poorest. Truely you have done an amazing job and am
hoping you have many more inventions in the future good luck to you and your family, by the way I hope Denzel Washington will make a movie about you thanks a lot bye.

I TELL MY STUDENTS ABOUT AN AFRICAN WHO INSPIRES ALL OTHER AFRICANS AND
MOST ESPECIALLY MYSELF,YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS SHOW THAT WITH HARDWORK GOD ON OUR SIDE WE CAN INNOVATE, YOU ARE MY SCIENTIFIC ROLE MODEL, I HOPE I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO KNOWLEDGE SOMEDAY ALSO...
notice that millions of young and talented Nigerians are longing to meet you. Please we will be grateful if you'll create such a forum, where we can actually have a taste of you as one of our own.
work. It's so refreshing to discover a modern African scientific genius who is also Afrocentric. How come I didn't hear about you in 1989, when I was still an electrical engineering student? How come you weren't made Time mag's man of the year?
It has been my pleasure to know that such an inspiring individual was created by Olodumare. You have brought understanding to math to our youth when some believed they had no hope of accomplishing such tasks in this life time.
Onitsha people are proud of you.Keep it up and God bless you.

I'm proud of you as a Nigerian. Just knowing about your contributions to science is inspiring! Greater heights to Africans. I wonder how many
Africans are making landmark achievements quietly somewhere? What we need to figure out is how to use our intellect to improve the standards of living and quality of life back home - no equation seems to be working there! Cheers.

Dr. Philip Emeagwli is the man i admire the most. i believe he is the
moses of Africans. he did not only made us proud, but he left a laggacy warthy of emulation by all youth who want to succed in life. He also show them that Africans are superior only that Bad gorvernmene is reverging us. though he might have lost hope in Nigeria but i want to tell him that he is owing many Nigerian the dept of comming home and show us the way up staies. i will like to include him in my new book as one of those set aside to be emulated.
This is simply amazing! On a scale of 10 i think you deserve 10pts! I am so proud of you. I am a Radiology major at a college here in dallas. This is my first visit to your website, and i think you definitely need more publicity. Your speech was very moving and i think one way to encourage this younsters is to create scholarship opportuinities and offer them jobs back home like you mentioned. There are thousands
of great minds out there who don't even have the chance to get into schools in Nigeria because of the fierce competition.It is no longer a case of who is intelligent like it was in my father's days but it is now who you know and how much money you have, this very sad. I was a victim three times but now im a straight a student at my collegeiin Texas !
Guy You more publicity than you think.I will suggest you arrange a programme with DSTV in South Africa for a documentary on you life achievements so far.This will go a log way in encouraging african youths to embrace education more seriously.This i
assure you will speak louder than all the write ups on you web site.Africa is seriously lagging behind in ICT and a documentary about you transmitted to the would DSTV subscribers in Africa is the magic touch and the greatest thing you can do to boast education in Africa to encourage your brothers. You seriously need maximum publicity.You suffered racisim due to the fact the white controlled media outfits used the communication power on you even after you had won all the prizes. But it's still not late.
Hope you are still visiting Nigeria in 2007as you promised. Your are the greatest and don't forget your root - IBO LAND.We have been empowered to bring development to the black world.God has ordained it.
people of Afircan decent. I'm an engineering tech. student @ our local university and i'm tryin to get people familiar wiht this brother.Master Philip Emeagwali's name will be long lived. Nuff respect to the entire family and to all our prperly governed african states. Ras-pect!
