devotion and tremendous support. I appreciate the
contributions of my children Nchekwube, Chijindu,
Chinazam, Nkiruka, and Chiamaka to the successful
conclusion of the writing that culminated to this lecture.
As I started this journey in academics, it was my father late
Mr Eleazar Udeze Okafor who bore all the pains of my
sustenance and so I salute his courage. My mother Emily
Enuzo Okafor was always there to feed and nourish me;
and to provide all domestic needs of mine. My late uncles,
Ernest, Wilson, Cyprain, Benson, Samuel and Christopher
I never forget. They believed so much that I was a star and
they never let any. opportunity to pass by with out giving
monetary and advisory supports. I am sincerely grateful to
them.
At the University, I am happy and will continue to show
gratitude to Prof. A. B. C Nwosu who was always there to
lead me on the right parts and infused the right energy into
me. I will always remember his contribution to my growth.
The same goes for uncle Joe Ezigbo,they were so helpful.
My post Graduate supervisor is one in a million. When I
look back at his ever towering figure, I continue to thank
God that he brought this man to mentor and teach me. I am
talking about Prof. Anya Oko Anya. I will eternally be
grateful to him and his wife our mummy Inyang.
Finally I am grateful to all my colleagues and friends, who
are always there in my times of need, I mean people like
OK, Dyke ,Carl, CIA, VCE, JEE, NSO and Others I plead
for God’s blessing on you all. I will not forget my in-laws
