ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

My major credit goes to my darling husband, Dr Chibuike Eze Nwafor who has always been my pillar of support and strength and to my precious seeds, Chidindu, Chimdinma, and Paul who are my source of inspiration. Finally, to God Almighty, who taught me the way to prepare for my wedding day even when there's no sight of the intending husband, the one who taught me to be prudent with money and to act in faith while I waited for the special day. May His name alone be glorified. Amen.
