Unquestionably, The Word Factory is the perfect guide to better English Grammar and effortless writing. According to one newspaper report, universities in England had begun to penalise students who employed incorrect grammar in their essays. In South Africa, the analysis of seventy-four thousand short stories found that written work of children was littered with SMS language, American slang, exclamation marks, and references to celebrities. All through my formative years, I had to contend with five different languages-English, Afrikaans, and two other dialects, which for the most part, accounted for my inability to translate thought into words effortlessly and inhibited my willingness to participate in lively social discussions especially in the course of my high school years. However, possessed of determination, I had vowed to overcome that infirmity. My need to succeed at all costs precipitated the memorisation of the entire Pocket Oxford Dictionary, an accomplishment that spanned ten long years, following which a further ten years were spent in acquainting myself with most English phrases, idiomatic expressions, and collecting the data and fully researching it. I decided to name the compilation The Word Factory. The fruits of my efforts, but more specifically the extensive employment of The Word Factory, not only marked my rise onto the podiums as master of ceremonies and public speaker, but had also enabled me to write approximately twenty-five articles to the Cape Argus, Cape Town's pre-eminent newspaper, within the space of two years, with 100 per cent publication rate.

This novel is a work of fiction. The main characters are pure inventions and imaginations of the author. It has no relations to anyone dead or alive as far as I know. The two countries and continent, which the novel is based on, are genuine-United Kingdom, Nigeria and Africa. I lived in UK, while researching and writing this novel, so I relied on memories that were good, bad, ugly, travels, events, experiences from friends, families, neighbors, and many people's accounts of natural, cultural, and social history of Africans and Nigerians in United Kingdom in the sixties through to today's UK. Such are the diversity and values of these sources to-me and other interested people who may be willing to know the facts underpinning the writing of this fiction. This work of fiction has a lot of raunchy, romantic and sexual scenes, which is based on experiences of young women, who arrived in UK and disapprovingly but, rather shockingly find out that UK is not exactly a county covered in milk and honey, but, rather it can be as daunting and has snapshots of vices as can be found in any other cosmopolitan town.

Man is not here because the earth needs someone to occupy space. Everyone is created because there is a question his/her life must be an answer to; a solution his/her life must solve and an assignment to carry out. That's exactly why almost everyone comes to the point of asking themselves: Who am I? Why am I here on earth? Where am I going to? This book shows that a man's identity goes beyond his name or background. Both spiritual, philosophical and psychological tools were engaged to help everyone discover who they really are, and the purpose of their existence on earth. No one single book has been able to combine these perspectives in a simple language like this book. The author tasks his over ten years of experience in helping to guide several hundreds of people whom he directly mentors and thousands others whom he influences in indirect forms to produce a book that could be considered a true guide for searching, pursuing and fulfilling purpose for living.
