I work for the Board of Education. Tomorrow morning, your name and achievement will be announced in the school's public address system... The little honour I can give your name, is to ensure that, just after the pledge of allegiance tomorrow morning, the people will know.

An awesome website. A colossal achievement..I might add. It's huge! ... You know the nuts and bolts of the 21st century computers & the internet rests on your shoulders...do your thing lad. And good luck!
Ben Ezeani, New York City , Feb. 1, '01

Phil, you've unknowingly become an icon and a mentor to many people of colour who have identified dearly with this achievement of yours.
Sule Jubril Oyebode, Lagos, Nigeria , Jan. 25, '01

On Dec.31/00, when I came across this web site it was like I have reached heaven. From 11:15pm on the above date, I was sitting until 1/1/01... I don't know how to thank the scientist of all time
Ballah Kabbh, Philadelphia, PA , Jan. 4, '01

Your achievement, and that of many other inventors/designers/achiievers is giving the lie to this organised attempt to rob black people of their intellectual heritage and capacity. May we find ten more Emeagwali's over the next ten years.
Lloyd A. Vermont, Stony Hill, Jamaica, West Indies , Dec. 12, '00

To arrive at this intellectual podium is a herculean feat , but your actions and inaction from this podium will be judged by history ... your 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!!!!

"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. Truly an inspiration to me and many other intelligent Nigerians who wonder what life can hold for them when the odds are "stacked" against them. 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.

I used to think the japanese had two brains but now I am sure that a Nigerian is also capable of doing the same.
Anazodo Muna, Oct. 17, 00

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, Aug 29, '00

I have received many letters even from the Governor of Abia State and the President of Nigeria congratulating me for carrying news on you.
Emeka Ibeka, Editor, Compulink, Jun. 20, '00

Philip Emeagwali, you are forever closest in my heart to inspiration!! I have two finches each with a name Philip Emeagwali.
X'ane "Greyster" Maori, Couer D'Allene (Idaho), Apr. 29, '00

Phillip, GOD BLESS YOU. For you are the true son of your father. Your achievements are like a "window dressing through which light percolates into the whole of Africa."
Anthony Omomia, London (UK), Apr. 14, '00

What else can I say, after going through your website I almost had tears rolling down my face.
Daniel Ezihe, London (UK), Apr. 6, '00

I have shown this to my children to encourage them. I've also been more encouraged to face the difficulties black men face in this country with greater hope and refusal to give up. Now I know that I'm a winner and never will I give in to the detractors any longer.
Philip A. Ejisimekwu, Chicago, Illinois, Mar. 14, '00

Very proud of you my Brother, for you are indeed a super person. Why are you not on the evening news or every talk show or in every magazine?
Carole Mussa, Los Angeles, Feb. 18, '00

Never have I ever read such about a Nigerian who has combined among othhers such qualities as being handsome,intelligent and young.
Amajam Abwaku Chibok, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Feb. 17, '00

I think is high time you come back to your roots and contribute in rescuing your motherland Nigeria. There is no better time than NOW. America is fully grown and benifitted enormously from your talents. Or what do you think ?
Salisu Danyaro, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, Feb. 14, '00

I am an AFRICAN born in america who believes our children here and in the diaspora need to know the genius that Africa has produced over the millenia from ancient KMT to Timbuktu and Ghana, Mali, Songhai.... You my brother continue in the tradition of our esteemed ancestors IMHOTEP, AHMAD BABA,CHEIKH ANTA DIOP,W.E.B.Dubois, and coutless others.
Julius A. Clinton Sr., Stratford, CT, Dec. 23, '99

I am inspired.......awed........and blown away by the sheer genius and presence of this amazing individual.......
Leighton Byfield, Peekskill, New York, Dec. 9, '00

Your are very truthful. The thing I loved most was that you did not forget your roots, because too many people do it.... I got to say at the end, that in my last 5 years in the internet your site is the most interesting one I ever saw.
Michael Goeldner, Hemer, NRW Germany, Nov. 11, '99

Tell me, are you another Jona, who was sent to save Africa, and then divert your mission elsewhere?
Nouhou H. Inti, Silver Spring, Maryland, Aug. 18. '99

You and your wife must increase your family size. Your son appears to be a fine young man. Your must give more Emeagwalis to the world. Peace unto you and yours. Great man of the century.
Glenn Waters, Pittsburg, PA, Jul. 7, '00

Glad this site was published. It is the best kept secret. I have forward this information to my relatives and friends.
Ron Coleman, Richton Park, Illinois, Apr. 25, '99

This is one of the best sites that I've ever seen from an individual. It's not just technological, but full of history and culture. Keep up the good work, brother.
Roseal Bettis, Maplewood, Minnesota, Mar. 19, '99

Reading your web page I am in tears of joy for you. You did [not] just lay down and die. You took things to heart and followed your dreams to make things better for your family and all mankind.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mar. 13, '99

I brought my son to your web-site to show him that we have many intelligent people in the world that prove that we too have much to contribute.
William Patterson, Poughkeepsie, New York, Mar. 7, '99

Sorry to say this, I can't describe you as human. You are something else. I don't really know how to comment on you. You are a genius.
