 Every other sentence in this biography contains an intentional lie. My edits removed those ""factual inaccuracies"" and references to websites of fictious authors. This is a devious biographical writing (adapted from hate newsgroups postings) that is full ouright lies, superficialities, irrelevancies, inaccuracies,  errors, omissions, overemphasis  

 on trivialites, and an obvious lack of understanding of the  subject matter, such as partial differential equations, numerical approximations, message-passing, network theory, laws of physics. 

 As I see it, the problem is an ""echo chamber"" effect or groupthink or like minded people reinforcing their racial biases while refusing to do basic fact-checking. The result is that a scientific fact is differents from wiki facts. 

 Check your facts!  

 Remember the WIKI rule: ""Please cite your sources so others can check your work."" You cited fictitious and anonymous authors, ignoring documents from the IEEE, Association for Computing Machinery, the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, The White House, seven universities (including the University of Michigan), dozens of books in Amazon.com  
 Don't reintroduce these factual inaccuracies. They will be deleted! 

 Below are numerous examples of factual inaccuracies. There are many many more inaccuracies to be revealed later. 

 FALSE STATEMENT (first sentence) 

 He ""was one of five winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell prize.""  

 THE FACT: 

 Emeagwali did not share the Gordon Bell Prize with five people. He won it alone.  

 You have given honorary authorship to five unknown and unnamed scientists. He was the only individual to win the Gordon Bell Prize alone while eight researchers from MIT shared the other Gordon Bell Prize. The fact is that an 8-man MIT team tied with only one-man, but you revised it to read that he shared with five people.  

  

  

  
 FACT CHECK on SECOND PARAGRAGH 

 You quoted two fictitious authors (Ezeilo and anonymous) and ignored published testimonials from leading computer scientist and ignored the President of the United States who (you'll guess) had computer scientists review the transcript of his televised speech for technical accuracy. 

 The NEW AFRICAN is the TIME magazine of Africa. You ignored their ranking of Emeagwali but choose to quote  websites  

 published by anonymous authors. 

  
 FALSE STATEMENT 

 ""Emeagwali heavily promotes himself as a speaker for conferences."" 

 FACT CHECK 
 He declines most speaking engagements and has never spoken in Africa in 31 years. 

  

 FALSE STATEMENT 

 A large number of websites   
  named after famous inventors and other great achievers, particularly African ones, have been created to promote Emeagwali.  They feature brief biographies of them (copied verbatim from sources such as Project Gutenberg public domain texts and the World Book Encyclopedia), surrounded by many links to Emeagwali's site.   

 The large number of links to Emeagwali's main site also boosts the prominence of it in search engines.  The relevant domain name whois records list Donita Brown, Emeagwali's wife, as the technical and administrative contact.   

 FACT CHECK 

 According to Google, it is impossible for a billion low PageRank pages to boost a website that is already ranked high.  

 

 FACT CHECK 

 The WHOIS record does not list Donita Brown in the your ""large number of websites."" And his wedding page did not list Donita Brown either. Only Wiki lists Donita Brown as his wife. 

  
 FALSE STATEMENT 

 According to his website, Emeagwali was born in a ""remote Nigerian village"" in 1954.  He dropped out of school in 1967 because of the Nigerian civil war.  When he turned fourteen, he was conscripted into the Biafran army. After the end of the war, He completed a high-school equivalency through self-study and came to the United States to study at university under a scholarship scheme. 

 FACT CHECK 

 You left out four graduate degrees in four different fields .... PLEASE CONTINUE to ENLIGHTEN US ... You intentionally skipped four graduate degrees ...  

 Thomas Edison (the greatest American inventor of the 20th century) had only sixth-grade education and is found of stating that that he would rather hire a hard worker than a college graduate. Albert Einstein (Time magazine's
