To God be all honour, glory, splendour, majesty, and adoration. All strength comes from Him. I sincerely appreciate Him for the knowledge, grace, and wisdom He gave me, to come up with this
work. Due to His awesomeness, I was equally energised to compose all the poems that complement every chapter of the book. In fact, the writing of this book has compelled me to confess that "writing a book is NOT writing an ordinary essay." I am very grateful to my divine Leader.
My very special thanks go to my ever warm and caring husband, Obum, who has been my strength, my pillar, my great supporter in all my endeavours. His patience, warmth, encouragement, understanding, and care, during the period of the writing of this book, and even at almost every other time, cannot be measured. He equally took time to edit and make useful suggestions towards the finesse of the production. God will bless his moral and financial contributions towards the perfection of this book.
Worthy of mention is the valuable contribution of my children - Nnamdi, Chike, Nneamaka, Somtochukwu, Chinwe, Emmanuel, and Nmachukwu, my jewels of inestimable value. They furnished me with current information on the entertainment industry, and other contemporary issues, which formed part of my writing. Of special note is little Nma's constant supply of fruits to me whenever I was on the writing desk. That was really motivating.
I am sincerely indebted to the Director of FCT Universal Basic Education Board, Dr (Mrs.) Catherine Ezeilo, who wrote the foreword for this book. Equally, those, whose endorsements have humbled me, are the highly renowned writers and national figures, the pride of this nation, who sincerely demonstrated their appreciation of my work. They include: Professor Anezi Okoro, author of the popular novel The Village Headmaster; Professor O. C. Nwana, author of UNIVERSITY ACADEMICS IN NIGERIA: Memoirs of an Insider; Mr S. G. Okoli - author of Nigeria Will Surely Rise Again; Hajiya (Dr) Mrs Fatima Abdulrahman - The National President of All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS); Samuel Bigheart - Graphic/Web Developer and Mr Iheanyi Akwada - Managing Director, Giak Ventures Ltd. I am grateful to all of them.
I wish to acknowledge, in a special way, Professor (Mrs.) Julie Okpala, Professor of Geographic & Environmental Education, in whose London residence I wrote some of the chapters of this book. She made my stay in the United Kingdom a very pleasurable and memorable one. Professor Okpala was also a super motivator, as she continued encouraging me in my writing throughout the period of my stay with her. Her sincere advice was quite invaluable and led to the enhancement of the quality of this book.
My special gratitude also goes to my in-law, Mazi Kaycee Igwegbe Odum, for his moral and physical support, especially in his immense and sincere assistance to me on some privileged information and contacts, prior to the publication of the book. His mobilisation prowess is really a great gift from God. He is not just an in-law to me, but, a faithful and reliable brother. His wife, Ifeyinwa Igwegbe, my dear sister, was equally of great assistance to me in the course of writing this book. Her sincere concern for my successful outing knew no bounds, as she continuously made useful suggestions towards the final production. Her love, which she shares to all and sundry, especially in her professional calling as a nurse, has always been a source of motivation to me.
I acknowledge the efforts of those who assisted me in the typing of the draft manuscript of the work - Mrs. Okoro, Nonso, and Chika, whose speed on the keyboard led to the early printing of the initial copies of the work. I am also heartily grateful to all those who took time to edit this work, especially, Su'eddie Vershima Agema, a professional editor himself, and his SEVHAGE team, particularly Debbie Iorliam and Aôndosoo Andrew Labe, who undertook the professional editing of the book.
Of immense value is the great impact of my computer instructor, John E. Daniel (PhD), who devotedly taught me how to be independent on the use of computer. The knowledge I got from him enabled me to do some of the typing of the work to my taste. This led me to type all the poems here, by myself, after composing them. I was equally empowered to edit the manuscript of the work, before going for professional editing of the book. Indeed, he spared me the fish and gave me a fishing net in that area of knowledge.

I cannot forget the special motivation given to me by Mr. S. G. Okoli, an author himself, who inspired me to go on with the publication of my book. He displayed his full support and enthusiasm when he freely gave me two of his wonderful books: Nigeria Will Surely Rise Again and The Legends of Our Time. His advice and sincere contributions were simply overwhelming. I am proud of him and his works.
In another special way, I wish to appreciate the pioneer staff and students of JSS Kurudu, Abuja, and JSS Karshi, Abuja, who all gave me support and love during my tenure as the Principal of the two schools. As a pioneer principal and pioneer staff of the two schools, we all carried the 'load' of establishing virgin schools, but, which have transformed to standard schools today. The experiences I gathered from the two schools, as an administrator, gave me a lot of insight into what the school system should really look like. My findings and the way forward, which will be of much relevance and assistance to the government in power, have been carefully showcased in the pages of this book.
I remain thankful to all those who have touched my life in one way or the other; whose lives bless me; who have faith in my writing, and equally motivated me to go ahead in my project. Finally, I salute all those whose moral backings encouraged me to go for the publication of this book. Thank you all.
