The Smartest Guy In Cameroon - Africa's Einstein
About this episode
There's a project that is searching for an Einstein in Africa. I may have found him.
His name is Baye Gaspar. He's from the extreme north of Cameroon. He's won countless awards. He's just 26 years old.
It's a brutally honest discussion. I am politically incorrect, as usual. We don't sugarcoat the conversation.
One thing that few will appreciate is that Baye Gaspar comes from a Francophone region. It's hard to find someone from a Francophone region that speaks English as well as he does. That's just another testament of his intelligence.
In this long conversation, we discuss:
- What awards Baye Gaspar has won.
- Why many Africans believe witchcraft is behind his success.
- The pervasiveness of cheating and corruption in many African educational systems.
- Baye's artificial intelligence app that will help with doing medical diagnosis.
- What's the price difference between a modern doctor and a witchdoctor?
- He's been to 5 African countries. What did he observe?
- What does Gaspar think of the Anglophone separatist movement in Cameroon?
- What are 10 positive traits and 10 negative traits that Africans have in common?
Update
We recorded this in 2018. Since then:
- Germany didn't give Gaspar his visa.
- Gaspar's app is coming out in late 2019.
- Paul Biya, Cameroon's perennial leader, is still in power in 2019, as Gaspar predicted.
Promoting Health Access Sumbawa
One of WanderLearn's top patrons, Kathy Enger, asked me to draw attention to Health Access Sumbawa. I am happy to promote this remarkable nonprofit. In 2014, Jack Kennedy founded the organization to bring malaria control and healthcare to remote, impoverished communities. It started on the remote island of Sumbawa, Indonesia. Since then, it's expanded thanks to generous donations. Visit their website to learn more and to donate: https://healthaccesssumbawa.org
