The People Speak About Emeagwali Some Famous, Some Little Known

“Kedu Philip (nnukwu nmoo). I have received many letters even from the Governor of Abia State and the President of Nigeria congratulating me for carrying news on you. … Ka chi foo” - Emeka Ibeka Editor-in-Chief, COMPULINK magazine. "A rough sea breeds a good sailor. You are a good sailor, with focus,vision and a rich heritage. An impressive site and an even more impressive personality. … While going through your page I found out "I Believe I Can Fly" isn't just a song. In my flight someday, I know I'll come to share ideas with you. That is ONE of my goals in life.” - KALEJAIYE OLUSEGUN (RASTO!) “I did not know much about you, untill Bill Clinton referred to you as ‘African Bill Gates.’ I did my research and I have to say that you are “EMEAGWALI of the Computer World.” Let have you over in UK to speak to us. You are a great inspiration to me and a lot of others.” - Eludapo Eluyemi, London “I used to think the Japanese had two brains but now I am sure that a Nigerian is also capable of doing the same. Thanks to you.” - Anazodo Muna “I will pay for bodyguards to protect you, if necessary. Your knowledge will be very useful at home when they are ready to reason/think!” – Uzoma, Los Angeles, California “Yours is a glorious achievement coming from the tradition of a Great people whose very existence are propelled by: courage, bravery, strength and the quest for superior knowledge - The IBO people of Nigeria. Need I mention the fact that the first slave to write a book is an Ibo - Eluaude Equiano. To arrive at this intellectual podium is a Herculean feat, but your actions and inaction from this podium will be judged by history. … Africa needs you now,

brother. … even though you may not hear our voices, be yea reassured we will support you in spirit and will respond, anytime you give the clarion call: Igbo Kwenu!!!!” - Cyril Uka Sherif Anyanwu, Houston, Texas, USA “Philip Emeagwali, you are forever closest in my heart to inspiration!! I have two finches each with a name Philip Emeagwali. I like to call to them "Philip! Philip Emeagwali! Come and get your pecking ball!" … I know Emeagwali changed my life after I emigrated from Eritrea in 1964. Love You Forever” - K.I.T. X'ane "Greyster" Maori, Couer D'Allene, ID USA

Africa needs you now , brother .To fullfill this calling you must have to contend with and tolerate the idiosysncracy and myopia of current African governments ,you have to transcend the barricades of bias and move on to the "higher calling" of salvaging Africa from the morass of intellectual and technological bankruptcy .This should be the tall order of this new millenium .While you do this ,even though you may not hear our voices , be yea reassured we will support you in spirit and will respond , anytime you give the clarion call : Igbo kwenu ! ! ! !

I was really glad i learned about Mr. Emeagwali and his accomplishments, even through adversity. I just hope he continues to share his accomplishments and thank God for the special gifts he was given. I hope to one day meet him which will be an enjoyable time for me.

Shall I congratulate you in the first place for your unparalleled achievements. You stand as painfull truth to the rest of the world that the black race is as capable as any other race. Our black skin may irritate some people, but we can show that we have something superior to offer, and you have already proved that. You can be sure of this, Governments and their agents are listening. I was particularly impressed by your speech, "Can Nigeria Vault into the Iformation Age". I think that speech should be serialised in Nigerian newspapers. Our politicians must be made to read it. All Nigerians must red it. Please keep up the good work. Finally I hope you are vigorously pursuing your research, because if you do, the world will be forced to recognise. God bless.

I found you through a women's collective Sistrum5. For an Internet beginner as myself, this is one of my best finds. I am inviting you to visit the Village of Harlem in New York City. I am originally from Washington, D.C. and moved to Harlem in 1969. The place in Harlem where you would find "a home away from home" is on Fifth Avenue between 125th and 126th Streets. It is the spot where my energies have been for the last 30 years of my life. There you will find a monument, a edifice that glorifies the people of African descent for all to see

and experience. This building was built in 1990 and is owned by the National Black Theatre, Inc. a non-profit community based institution and organization founded in 1968 by Dr. Barbara Ann Teer. On the exterior and interior of this building is relief art commissioned by NBT and endorsed by the Nigerian Government thru releasing traditional and contemporary artists from Oshogbo, Nigeria to come to America and install this art on the premises with tools and skills that were seven generations old. It is a work in progress. We regularly visit Nigeria and it is our second home. I invite you, actually implore you to bring your family to see this magnificent display of the largest exhibit of Yoruba "new sacred art" in the North American continent! I can be reached at (212)926-1049. I anxiously await your response through either e-mail or phone. Thanks for your consideration. Peace and Love!

This is Samuel again. First I want to thank you for having my letter posted a few months ago. I consider it an honor. I usally don't write argumentative letters, but I felt COMPELLED to tell the truth about the past and present condition of the global African Community. I am a Junior majoring in electrical engineering now and I can no longer spend much time on researching our condition. However, I have put up a web page for FGAMP(Florida-Georgia Alliance for Minority Participation)at my previous community college.

FGAMP is part of the Alliance for Minority Participation program funded by the National Science foundation. I have given FGAMP staff a copy of your homepage and placed it on our local FGAMP site. Perhaps they can work with you about speeking at next years conference. ABOUT 400 STUDENTS... BLACKS, HISPANICS, ASIANS AND EVEN A FEW NATIVE AMERICANS WILL BE THERE! It would be an honor to see you in Person next year if you are able. The NEXT FGAMP Conference will be held at Bethune Cookman College at Daytona Beach Florida around January 28, 2001. I will send the Coordinators email to your peronal email ASAP. God bless you and Dale for you contributions to humanity and your communities. Samuel Burnham
