I am grateful to Dr. Wolfgang Bender, my supervisor, for his assistance.

I cannot thank Professor Helen Chukwuma, scholar and the first female professor at the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, for her support in the choice of language for research.

The motherly advice and assistance from Professor Omibiyi Obi dike (Humboldt Fellow), University of Ibadan, Nigeria, in the course of my studies were most profound. I cannot thank her enough.

It is in the same vein that I recall the helpful faith teachings in God by Bishop and Dr. Renea Johnson (Victory Community Church, Arizona, USA.). I thank them for their prayers, friendship and parental advise.

My gratitude goes to Benjamin Bandowe, research fellow at the Geographic Institute, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany, for proofreading my work.

I would like to acknowledge the African Literature Association (ALA, USA), the African Studies Association (ASA, USA), for the promotional efforts towards making African writers realize their dreams as well as their services in my work a reality.

I also gratefully acknowledge all my friends and anybody who may have added to the success of this book.
