What happens when a 27-year-old Nigerian-born physicist — raised in Bamenda, Cameroon — writes two published physics books while studying for the priesthood, with almost no resources and constant opposition? You get one of the most inspiring conversations Joshua T. Berglan has had since arriving on African soil.
In this completely unscripted episode of The World’s Mayor Experience, Joshua sits down with Chibuike James Michael Okeke — author of Mechanics Made Easy for Advanced Level Students and A Prolegomena to Advanced Level Physics — just one hour after meeting him for the first time. What unfolds is a raw, electric conversation about purpose, perseverance, faith, and the power of building a sovereign media platform from the ground up.
They cover:
- How James was inspired by Albert Einstein and Immanuel Kant to write physics books for African students
- The real-life struggles of publishing as a seminarian with no funding, constant slandering, and electricity failures
- Why Newton’s laws, Einstein’s relativity, and St. Thomas Aquinas’s Five Proofs of God all point to the same truth
- How media sovereignty can unlock unlimited revenue streams for creators in Cameroon and beyond
- Joshua’s vision of 500 media hubs serving 500 million people — and why James is exactly the kind of person that mission needs
This one was filmed outside in Bamenda with chickens, construction noise, and zero teleprompters. And it might be one of the best episodes yet.
