DEDICATION

I dedicate this piece of work to the Almighty God for finding me worthy to serve Him and humanity.

Appreciation

My thanks go first to God for life, time, energy and Journey mercies while rendering these services. My late husband, Pa Bernard Igbokwe played a very important role. His patience, cooperation and readiness to accompany me on those trips was very encouraging and led to my success.

I always feel very happy whenever I remember my dear parents, Pa Thomas Ibewuike and Ezinne Julia Chioma of blessed memory. I was able to go to school because my dad loved education. He was my role model I also want to thank those I met in my early life in the schools and Churches: The white Reverend fathers and later the black priests whose good services we are enjoying today.

I cannot complete this list without mentioning my children, Hillary, Christopher, Nicholas, Carmella, Ngozi, Judith, Eric, Chimezie. My siblings Rose, Felicia, Jacob, Lolo, Prisca and Nwokedi and my in-laws. A big thank you to my daughters in law, Ijeoma, Kelechi, Marian, Onyinye and Nkem. To my sons-in-law, Nnamdi, Charles and Ignatius, I say thank you. Shout out to my grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. I also thank my friends and neighbors who contributed to my success in life. Special
