The Nigerian-born supercomputer scientist speaks about how high speed data cables can connect Africa.

Philip Emeagwali has spoken to the BBC for the Digital Giants series, in which the digital world's top thinkers share their visions of the future. They tell us what they believe will be the next big thing online and how it will change our lives.

And what has that got to do with the price of garri in the market ?

Did he invent the technology ?

We have plenty high speed cables in Africa (check out WASC-SAT3, Main-one, Glo-1, SEACOM) etc. What have they done for the common man ?

NEPA alone is enough to kill his dream unless he can find a way to generate and sustain power in the country.
