He is an ordinary person who didn't grow up with a dad figure; his dad was killed when he was two years hold and half during a political campaign for the emancipation of Cameroon where he was born. Thus, he managed to rely on his own mind from the very young age which made him very critical in many things in life and also very vocal about education, social issues and religious teachings. After college he started working in the Government, then at the bank where he left in 1992 to come to America. When he looks back, he is not surprised today why and how was able to write a book titled "World Peace." Because during all these years of experiences not only he was not fitting in, in all groups, but also, he had never stopped asking himself many questions about life in general, and finding answers from his own seeking mind, for most of the time, he was not satisfied with answers of the people in his surroundings.
