Is this the emeagali? I am neither inspired nor impressed!

Looks ill-prepared. I am dissapointed!

Who told him nigeria pays 40% as PRT to Multinationals?
What was his recipe for harnessing the "new compass"?

Lip service, again?

I first keep quiet ooo. Thank God its not only me perceive that! I initially tut its because i be local Naija boy...
Can Africa's problem be solved only on the pages of Articles and Speech/Seminars

We need to get down to practical here! What are the practical steps/projects Africa is/can take to harness the so-called technology age...
What is the way forward....
This are some of the issues i espected him to add to his speech. Not just an awakening call alone. Ok now that we have woken up where are to go Or are we to start running up and down I am sure Emeagwali himself...should be one of the few Africans that can give step-by-step practical approach to what we are to do next.

Well Fowe and probably X-2-X,i Completely agree with you.
However on the Contrary,there is always a starting point for every journey.
In addition,u don't know if Emeagwali has made secret efforts to nations in Africa specifically Nigeria but was turned down or not taken seriously.If this is the case,what else can he do?Sit down and fold his arms or talk like he's doin?
I say this because i heard of the story of a Nigerian who came to Nigeria from the US and gave a proposal to the government on a Technological breakthrough dat should be integrated into our educational setup to reduce reliance on Oil,etc.
He said we was weighed down with Bureaucracy,protocols until he got an insider information that the powers that be were bent on frustrating him
In furtherance with Fowe and X-2-X opinion,Emeagwali should start acting the seminars he delivers even if it is from a Small 'Human hemisphere'

One thing, I know is true is that, multinationals know exactly how they have protected their wealthy.
I have an example but am sorry I can not publish it seeing it will expose one to unknown enemies who know that this is their wealth source. Remember Ken Saro Wiwa.

Well....we can only work with the information we have.
If emeagwali has made some effort that was frustrated there is no crime including that or something related in the speech too.
I repeat, if Africa is to wake-up...when we wake-up what are we to do which of the projects
I tut he would even be making some practical suggestions or comments about the one-laptop-per-child project. This are real life practical projects that can affect our life's immediately for the technological advancement that we want.

My tuts!

Fowe don't let us recycle the leadership issue which is known to all as the bane of Africa's development.
The Laptop-per-child project is not new to Nigeria.Obasanjo kicked it off but where is it today?
How many child has a Laptop now?
Is Emeagwali the one to distribute the laptops?
Government in Africa has so much Powers and unless they sieze initiatives by the Jugular,we won't make astronomical progress with time.

@ Fowe,
What is your take after reading that site's criticism? I did not see any real reference and did not read it thoroughly so can not comment. Though its most likely a game from non Nigerian friends.

Honestly i am still seating on the fence about Emeagwali's overrated achievements and publicity.
And that means i am not sure of anything yet, and that means i am not convinced that at least he won computer's science 'Nobel Laurette'. Because i ve always known that its Turin award and Gordon Bell.
and b4 u can win turin!....... hmmmmmmm
