Patrick N'Guema N'Dong

Patrick N'Guema N'Dong (born 1957, in Royat, France[1]) is a Franco-Gabonese journalist on Gabon's Africa N°1 radio station (link) (created in 1981), which is transmitted through French Africa and France. He is known for his two programs devoted to the occult sciences, parapsychology, and traditional African religions.

His mother was French and his father Gabonese.[2]

Education

N'Dong attended high school at the Lycée Léon M'Ba à Libreville (the Léon M'Ba Lycée at Libreville). He received a degree in Letters at the Academy of Clermont-Ferrand and an English licentiate from Omar Bongo University in 1978, after which he attended the University of Indiana, where he received a Master of Comparative Literature in 1982.[1] It was during this time in the United States that he became interested in parapsychology.[2]

Radio career

He hosts "Triangle" with Bruce Walker Mapoma, a program which tackles various subjects related to the occult sciences, and answers questions from listeners.

He also hosts "L’Aventure mystérieuse" ("The mysterious adventure") (every Sunday starting at 9:10 PM Paris time) which has been in production for nearly 20 years. The program presents fictional stories in which mystery plays a great part, with some recurring characters, such as the wizard Fifian Ribana, the general Mangani Mangwa, or the professor Eubénézer Euthanazief, and often in the imaginary city of Bangos.

Writing

N'Dong's book Rêves de serpent (Snake Dreams) is divided into two parts. In the first part, N'Dong interprets twenty dreams, all involving snakes, and explains the significance of snakes in African mysticism. In the second part, the appearance of snakes in literature and other traditions is described, with pieces written by guest authors.

gollark: The most interesting quantum thingy™ I'm aware of is Grover's algorithm, which seems to just magically be able to speed up some search-ish/brute-force things using magic.
gollark: Wait, so if I find a big prime number and use the `factor` command on it, I can actually say that my computer is outperforming leading-edge quantum computers at that task?
gollark: One day quantum computers might even be able to do useful things faster than my phone!
gollark: Still, it's a thing. Definitely a thing.
gollark: We've reached a point where quantum computers can do *some stuff* faster than classical ones, in that while it would be theoretically possible to emulate... Sycamore, or whatever it was, the one Google or someone had for "quantum supremacy" or something... on a supercomputer, it would take several days to do what it did in two minutes.
