Poet, spoken-word artist, journalist, and author Tofarati Ige, popularly known as Grand Tycoon, says his books have helped some readers improve their communication skills in relationships.

Speaking in a recent interview with Sunday Sun, Grand Tycoon said his literary works, including Town Crier and Oriki (Praise Poetry), have attracted admiration from readers and encouraged meaningful conversations.

According to him, poetry naturally communicates emotions, depth, and romance, qualities that resonate with many people.

He noted that several readers have shared feedback about how his writings helped them express themselves more effectively in their personal relationships.

“My books actually make wooing women easy. Many men have testified that after reading my works, their love lives were revitalised because they found the right words to say to women. It made the process smoother,” he said.

Beyond relationships, Grand Tycoon explained that his primary motivation for writing is to inspire people and preserve creativity through literature.

“Writing is deeper than attraction for me. It is a calling and a way of documenting emotions, society and culture,” he added.

Known for combining poetry, social commentary, and performance art, Grand Tycoon has built a reputation in Nigeria’s literary and entertainment sectors through his work as a spoken-word performer, journalist, and author.

He also encouraged young Nigerians to embrace reading and writing, describing literature as an important tool for communication, creativity, and self-expression.
