Paula and Peter Imafidon are just like any other nine-year-olds. They love laughing, playing on the computer, fighting with each other. What sets these twins apart from their peers, though, is that they are, hands down, prodigies, who are about to enter high school and make British history as the youngest to do so.


The precocious London-based tykes, known as the "Wonder Twins," floored academicians a year ago, when they aced a difficult University of Cambridge's Advanced Mathematics exam with flying colors. They were the youngest students to have ever passed the test.

The future little scholars' father, Chris, and mother, Ann, immigrated to Britain from Nigeria more than 30 years ago and have actually been down this prodigy route before with their three older children, who are also overachievers.

The couple's oldest daughter, Anne-Marie, is now 20, but at age 13, she won a British government scholarship to take undergraduate courses at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Christiana, 17, their other daughter, is the youngest student ever to study at the undergraduate level in any British University at the age of 11. Youngest daughter, Samantha, now 12, passed two rigorous high school–level mathematics and statistics exams at the age of 6, and mentored the twins to pass their own math secondary school test when they were also 6.

Even with all of this, the proud Dad denies that there is any particular genius in his family. He does credit his children's success to the Excellence in Education program for disadvantaged inner city youth. "Every child is a genius," he said. "Once you identify the talent of a child and put them in the environment that will nurture that talent, then the sky is the limit. Look at Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters - they were nurtured. You can never rule anything out with them, the competition between the two of them makes them excel in anything they do."

The darling duo are competitive to say the least, and this is what fuels them to out-achieve each other. Paula said, "I am excited to pass, but I should have got higher than Peter."

As far as career paths Paula says she wants to be a math teacher, while Peter aspires to be Prime Minister one day.

All it takes is a dream....

They are nothing compared to Genius who are much younger. They have only skipped a few grades that is nothing.

Look at this little kid who is only 3 years old and has a IQ of 152, higher then anyone on this board.

^ LOL And we can see exactly why the dude above is "crazzzy"! Answer: Racism is a mental disorder.

The point of the article is one that has been brought up many times and that is black immigrants straight out of Africa and their children in general outperform whites in Western nations both in the Americas and in Europe itself. It does not matter if the children are prodigies or not. Obviously then, blacks who have been living in Western countries for generations especially African Americans lag behind whites academically do so for other reasons other than 'race' or the color of their skin.

Perhaps his children's privacy as usually such things are between the schoolboard, the parents, and the students. By way, if he had anything to hide then how did his children get accepted to highschool?

Better yet, why do you still have doubts on the intellect and academics of black immigrants far surpassing native whites like yourself?? We have provided you with countless examples. I remember you went so far as to suggest that these African immigrants were actually white or of East Asian ancestry! LMAO That was until you shown they were indigenous (black) peoples of Africa.

Speaking of brainy blacks of Britain. Was it not British Mensa that gave an award of "Smartest Man" to the brilliant African computer scientist Philip Emeagwali??

Internet poll ranks Emeagwali world's best scientist
By Uduma Kalu

A NIGERIAN scientist resident in the United States (U.S), Dr. Philip Emeagwali, has emerged world's top scientist on the Internet, having become the most searched-for contemporary scientist alive.

Described as "Father of the Internet" by former President Bill Clinton, and as "Super Brain" by Time magazine, Emeagwali is also voted "the best known African scientist of all time".

An informal survey in allfrica.com also showed that Emeagwali who won the Gordon Bell Prize, seen as a Nobel prize version for technology, is the most talked about scientist in Africa.

According to the report, 99 per cent of Internet searches are conducted outside Africa. "Therefore, this survey is essentially who is hot in the western world," the statement said.

Emeagwali's website is also number three in Webmaster's Most-Linked Scientists in the world.

The survey was prompted by a controversy, which started in 2002 when a British Mensa society voted Emeagwali as the "smartest man alive".

Many in the media, (especially in Sunday Herald, Glasgow, May 5, 2002) were reported to have asked, "Who is Emeagwali

* How come he is not famous

* "

In a publication in New York by Donita Brown recently released to The Guardian, a source at the Emeagwali.com said: "To settle this question, we asked: Who is the world's top scientist

* Is it Britain's most famous physicist Stephen Hawkings

* Is it America's most famous scientist Stephen Jay Gould

* Is it computer pioneer and Nobel laureate Jack Kilby
* The answer is: None of the above''.

The researchers then used the list of 100 greatest scientists and inventors of the 20th century to determine the result. "We used google.com to determine the most popular website for each scientist. Then Link Popularity was used to determine the number of links," it went on.

The rankings, according to its report, reflect all terms entered into the Overture search engine by users between February 1 and February 28, 2003.

Some of the terms used are that "Scientist's claim to fame must be a discovery or invention, a definition that excludes astronauts, medical doctors and popular writers like Carl Sagan. Scientists that died 50 years earlier i.e. Albert Einstein, George Washington Carver and Marie Curie are not included in the ranking of scientists. Top scientists include only contemporary figures (people still living in 2000).

"All spellings and search variations are included in these totals: for instance, searches for Emeagwali and Philip Emeagwali are counted as searches for Philip Emeagwali. Data from Nielsen ratings were used to extrapolate to obtain the total Internet searches.

The team also did a survey of most prominent Africans and Nigerians on the Internet. For the Africans, the group used the 75 names listed in the book African Biography published by Gale Research while the Nigerians were drawn from a list of 100 Nigerians of the Millennium complied by the Nigerian Internet community.

Out of top 12 Africans listed, Nigeria produced three. And they are Prof. Chinua Achebe, Emeagwali and Hakeem Olajuwon. Achebe also tops the chart on the most searched for Nigerians on the Internet.

But the result of the world's most searched for scientist on the Internet has revealed that Emeagwali is the world number one.


^ Oops! Perhaps the Mensa Society of Britain has something to hide too, or maybe they are "Afrocentric" Even though they are predominantly white! LOL

Where on earth does it say Mensa awarded him with the smartest man? He does not even have the highest IQ in the world. Marilyn Savant who has an IQ score of 228, has the highest IQ in the world.

Emeagwali's contributions to supercomputing just weren't all that significant. He didn't invent the Connection Machine, and he didn't build the fastest supercomputer constructed in the year in which he won the Gordon Bell Prize not even the fastest based on the Connection Machine. His machine was only the second fastest. Normally, the prize was given out both to the fastest overall supercomputer and to the most cost-effective. In that year, however, the fastest computer was built by a team at Mobil. and that computer was also the most cost-effective. The judges decided not to award both prizes to the same computer. So Emeagwali won for his second-place entry.

Philip Emeagwali myths

http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/emeag.html

This page briefly addresses some specific claims appearing on Emeagwali's self-promotional website and elsewhere. For a more in-depth discussion of Emeagwali's "outright lies, half-truths, and numerous unsubstantiated claims," see the article Self-Promotion and Self-Authentication: "Father of the Internet" by Chioma Ezeilo.

MYTH #1:

Emeagwali made the "world's fastest computation" in 1989

Each year since 1987, the judges for the annual Gordon Bell competition have given out multiple prizes for supercomputing applications, usually including one for performance (fastest speed), and one for price/performance (best speed/cost ratio; specifically, "price-performance ratio as measured in megaflop/s per dollar on a genuine application").

Despite what you may have read on the Internet, the 1989 prize for the fastest performance was awarded not to Emeagwali, but to another entrant:

In the performance category, we awarded the prize to a team from Mobil Research and Development and Thinking Machines Corp. [...] Their solution of a seismic data-processing problem ran at almost 6 Gflops on a CM-2 Connection Machine.

"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101

The winning speed of 6 Gflops was almost double that of Emeagwali's entry (3.1 Gflops, a speed that Emeagwali has repeatedly misrepresented as the "world's fastest"). The Mobil/TMC team achieved the best price-performance ratio too, but since no entry was allowed more than one prize, the price/performance award passed to Emeagwali (who also used a CM-2 Connection Machine) even though his score in that category was about 20% worse than the leading score:

We awarded the price/performance prize to Philip Emeagwali [...] His model ran at a price/performance of slightly less than 400 Mflops per $1 million. While the Mobil/TMC team achieved almost 500 Mflops per $1 million, we decided to award only one prize per entry.

"Special Report: 1989 Gordon Bell Prize," IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101

See the yearly results for the performance and price/performance categories. In no year did Emeagwali achieve what he claims he did.

MYTH #2:

Emeagwali won computing's equivalent of the Nobel Prize

In spite of efforts by Emeagwali and his admirers to hype up his $1000 Gordon Bell award as the "Nobel Prize" of computing, the rest of the computing world continues to associate that lofty label with the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won. The Gordon Bell prize, however, is just one of many other annual computing awards, respectable but not at all comparable to either the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award in prestige or prize money. Nor are the selection criteria analogous: Emeagwali was awarded for his performance in an annual competition, not in recognition of lasting contributions to his field.

MYTH #3:

Emeagwali is a "Father of the Internet"

1. Emeagwali's paternity claims to the Internet are judged and found baseless. Emeagwali has not shown any evidence that he was involved with ARPA or any other research organization or company connected with the genesis of the Internet, nor did he express his ideas in technical journals or any other channel through which he could have influenced the development of the Internet during its formative stages.

2. Is there a father of the Internet? A discussion of the main contenders: JCR Licklider, Bob Taylor, Paul Baran, Donald Davies, and Lawrence Roberts.

MYTH #4
:
The "Connection Machine" was invented by Emeagwali

A few Web sources expand the fallacy that Emeagwali created the fastest computer program, insisting that he was also responsible for the massively parallel supercomputer on which the program ran. However, the 65,000-processor "Connection Machine" that allowed such speedy computations was actually the brainchild of Danny Hillis and was built by Thinking Machines Corporation, the company Hillis co-founded. The fact is extensively documented on the web and is so well established that I won't devote more attention to it.

MYTH #5:


Emeagwali has lots of patents or patent applications

The number of Emeagwali's patents or patent applications is sometimes claimed to be as high as 30. However, a search of the USPTO and esp@cenet patent databases (as of September 2003) reveals the true number to be zero. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fully searchable online database for all U.S. patents since 1976 as well as all current applications, simply has nothing on file for Emeagwali.

MYTH #6:

"Dr." Emeagwali?

Emeagwali is frequently referred to on his own and other websites as "Dr. Philip Emeagwali" or simply "Dr. Emeagwali." Though he did in fact enroll in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, he did not get the degree after failing his qualification examinations twice and having his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty member. Emeagwali subsequently sued the university, alleging civil rights violations and racial discrimination. His case was dismissed without trial. When Emeagwali appealed to a higher court, a three-judge panel rejected his discrimination claims unanimously.

some of these blacks are hardly conscious. The problem is that blacks do not want to make an effort to do anything about it. We have loons like Djehuti, Jari, Brada and others who could make a major contribution but would rather stay here on egyptsearch and try to prove that Aristotle was a negro.

One state senator in Pennsylvania said that the black population in Philly was creating cultural genocide.

Let him release the transcripts (which he has refused btw...) so we can see the academic history and achievements of these two. Listen, we know exactly why he refuses to release them -- lackluster academic records.

These little geniuses will probably have graduated by the time they are 10. Crazzzy is probably driven crazy by the fact that all of the examples he posted aren't comparable...

The little 12 year old baby faced genius is some 3-4 years BEHIND these twins... I guess he didn't have the IQ to work that one out!

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which has a fully searchable online database for all U.S. patents since 1976 as well as all current applications, simply has nothing on file for Emeagwali.

MYTH #6:

"Dr." Emeagwali?

Emeagwali is frequently referred to on his own and other websites as "Dr. Philip Emeagwali" or simply "Dr. Emeagwali." Though he did in fact enroll in a PhD program at the University of Michigan, he did not get the degree after failing his qualification examinations twice and having his thesis rejected by a committee of faculty member. Emeagwali subsequently sued the university, alleging civil rights violations and racial discrimination. His case was dismissed without trial. When Emeagwali appealed to a higher court, a three-judge panel rejected his discrimination claims unanimously.

cosign! [Wink]
The ironic thing is that just a few months prior, I completely discredited all that Emeagwali bullshit on the first page of this thread; and yet the morons on this board continue to peddle this snakeoil (which just goes to show that they really couldn't give a damn about facts). A few months later they'll be back up and running posting the same lies. To reiterate:

Philip Emeagwali - Another fake Black "genius"

Perhaps his children's privacy as usually such things are between the schoolboard, the parents, and the students. By way, if he had anything to hide then how did his children get accepted to highschool?

Better yet, why do you still have doubts on the intellect and academics of black immigrants far surpassing native whites like yourself?? We have provided you with countless examples. I remember you went so far as to suggest that these African immigrants were actually white or of East Asian ancestry! LMAO That was until you shown they were indigenous (black) peoples of Africa.


This article is really nothing more than a PC hack-job by the liberal British media in the wake of Prof. James Watson delivering the inconvenient truth. In order to be considered a genius, most cognitive and differential psychologists agree that one requires an IQ of above 140 on the WAIS. Give these two boys an IQ test in a controlled setting, then we'll start talking about who is a "genius."

These little geniuses will probably have graduated by the time they are 10. Crazzzy is probably driven crazy by the fact that all of the examples he posted aren't comparable...

The little 12 year old baby faced genius is some 3-4 years BEHIND these twins... I guess he didn't have the IQ to work that one out!

Don't mean to be competing or anything, i find genius-flossing funny, especially racially. What do mensa members have to do with thread topic which is that family which has obviously cultivated a culture of success? [b]The *WHOLE* purpose of IQ in the first place is to be able to predict one's ability to function in society and i know plenty of high IQ kids who are not really going anywhere at all, some of them being underacheivers.

Al-Tukari's Plea Should Fall on Deaf Ears!
As all of our agents should know, as of March 21, we will have finally taken over EgyptSearch, and now can begin with the teaching of the Master White Race. They are no longer posting African History and we have got these idiots so weary that they think every thread is Troll bait. I have more agents signing up and registering to Egyptsearch everyday to help and aide in our missions, but they will never know for the Nigger is easy.-Hail Whitey Wikka

No, both you and "Whatbox" don't have the IQ to comprehend just what it is that you are reading. Those Nigerian twin boys are starting high school at the age of 9. That baby-faced genius is only 12 and already he is pursuing an honours degree in Math. If you don't know anything about how the education system is structured in the UK, Canada and the Commonwealth allow me to fill you in: When you begin your secondary education you typically spend four or five years at either a public or private high school in preperation for the O-level Examinations or GCSEs. If upon completion of these assesments you have aquired satisfactory grades you may then move on to the next level and attend what is known as a Sixth Form College for two years at the end of which you do the GCE A-level examinations. Only upon completion of the A-levels do you then move on to attend a university. Do the math and you find that you have either 6 or 7 years of schooling before you even step foot on a university campus. If there is anyone who is 3 or 4 years behind its those Nigerian boys (provided they don't skip any years, they would have completed high school at either the ages of 15 or 16) and not the 12 year old Math prodigy.

You have nothing to "floss," the girls father is half British, and her mother is of Malaysian and Chinese ancestry.

 -

Do the actuarial tables and you find that the girl is at least 75% Eurasian, possibly even more, due to the random nature of the genetic recombination of alleles during gametogenesis. The child doesn't even look black (see her below with her mother who has no black ancestry):

 -

LOL! Its so funny that the only way that blacks can claim any form of limelight is through the American one-drop rule. I'm still waiting to see a bonafide black child prodigy that looks like this little nappy head:

 -

Regarding the rest of your post, I doubt greatly that you know any high IQ people, especially if your implying that these people are black (five in six Afro Americans score lower than the white average IQ of 100). And yes, while environment, or as you put it "creating a culture of success" is important, it is more often than enough grossly overstated by the difference deniers. Genes matter! And as far as that statement about how all these high IQ people you happen to know becoming underachievers, I find it quite odd that that observation completely contradicts with the mountain of scientific evidence to the contrary:

There is always the exception that proves the rule. Blacks genrally have very low IQ levels. Despite all of our efforts and trillions of dollars they remain in the low 70s.

^I'm not really sure if fawal's re. comment's worth responding to, but what the heck i'll give it my two copper-tones.

No, i wasn't implying they were black in fact most were white but my point was a know quite a few who haven't as of yet outdone people with lesser Intelligence Quotients, but then each of these has their own situations in life, some folks just aren't in position they may have to leave school to care for others, and often times, Americans of any class have alternative avenue outs and so lack the motivation and ambition to dedicate themselves to da "handle biz now play later" mindset. Of course this is not the case in general with IQ scores. And you can btw discount myself from the majority in your little statistic on black folk, and even in fact, by quite a margin from that general/white average of 100 as well.

Lastly, i don't really care whether girl's mixed, so am i, big whoop, the other posted Mensa members are not, some Mensa members are, etc. As far as goes whatever the puck your dogma implies about the African genome's capacity to produce those with capability, i doubt it.

I'm a math man and so doubt it on sheer numeric principle. The African genome subsumes the rest of the human genome easily and is in its entirety present (with variance) in the whole continent so ur bull shiznt is rubbish but i've dealt elsewhere here thoroughly with your nonsense before, so think what you will.

And out of pure curiosity what would you consider Negritos? Eurasians? Not to imply that's what Malaysians are, just asking..

^ Yes. Disregarding the fact that the human genome itself is African, how many times must we point out African immigrants outperforming whites both academically and professionally in Western countries especially in Europe. The scores don't lie and obviously it has nothing to do with some "affirmative action" as some are desperate to believe. Let's not even bring up recent studies showing African immigrants outscoring whites in general meaning a general rule.
