Dr. Philip Emeagwali from Nigeria created the fastest Computer in the World according to multiple sources from the web .
Dr. Philip Emeagwali, who has been called the "Bill Gates of Africa," was born in Nigeria in 1954.
Like many African schoolchildren, he dropped out of school at age 14 because his father could not continue paying Emeagwali's school fees.
However, his father continued teaching him at home, and everyday Emeagwali performed mental exercises such as solving 100 math problems in one hour.
His father taught him until Philip "knew more than he did."
Philip Emeagwali (born 23 August 1954) is a Nigerian computer scientist.
He is accused of making controversial statements about his achievements, such as inventing the Internet and creating the world's fastest computer, the Connection Machine, which are disputed by the scientific society or community
His claims of being a father of the Internet, of having invented the Connection Machine, of possessing 41 patented inventions, of winning "the Nobel Prize of Computing" and of being a "doctor" and/or "professor" have been conclusively debunked with widely documented evidence.
Speaking during a visit to Switzerland in April 2009, Mr. Emeagwali said he was the first to program a hypercube "to solve a grand challenge defined as the 20 gold-ring problems in computing.
That discovery, in part, inspired the reinvention of supercomputers as an Internet."
He claimed that by his effort, he was able to set three world records and improve on Newton's second law of motion.
