As a young man, he worked for the Cameroon Development Corporation as an accounts clerk in the year 1956. The following year, 1957, he started working as a reporter for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation[3]. He stayed with the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation until the year 1968. During this period of employment with the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation, he served as their reporter from France.{{cn|date=March 2019}} In the year 1960 he started further studies in Paris, at the age of 24[4]. For a couple of years, he studied Law and Economics at Université de Paris, and then abandoned his studies to pursue his interest in writing. It was during this time when he was studying in Paris that he began his writing career. His first piece of writing was the novel A Few Nights and Days, which was published in the year 1966. That same year, he also wrote the piece "Helping the Revolution: a story"[5][6], which was set in apartheid-era South Africa.
