Acknowledgments

First of all, I want to thank the Almighty God for keeping me alive so that I might have the opportunity to complete this book. As I understand, everyone has a purpose to serve in life, and one of the greater opportunities for purposeful action is to write a book that potentially improves the well-being of others; a book aimed at improving and giving hope to fellow human beings. The illustration of this concept is that the world is a beautiful place, and there is nothing better than life. A service for humanity is part of my greater purpose and my contribution to humanity. It would give me great pleasure to show my gratitude to Xlibris Publishers for making this book possible. Special thanks to Xlibris editors for their propositions, remarks, understanding, and patience. They did a remarkable job. I am also grateful to my friends who stood by me during turbulent times. There are some unshakable friends who will stand by you no matter the consequences. If you are one of those friends, thank you. I would also like to extend my greetings to the Nigeria Empire Club of the great State of New York for their emotional support and sponsorship for my previous books in public management. Overall, thanks to those who placed more value in humankind and the love of humanity, most especially to those who believe that all human beings deserve to live happily and that there is no exemption to the happiness of humankind.

Happiness is the greatest goal of all humankind.
