ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We are very grateful to God for giving us the knowledge to putting this research thesis together. It has been a good ride since 2008 when we started our studies. Lots of lessons have been learnt from studies, life, and career pursuit.
We also want to thank people who have added one way or the other to our lives, and have given us reason to move a step ahead. We appreciate the love from our families, friends and foes.
Our appreciation also goes to Samuel Down and Sari Saarinen, for giving us their attention to putting this piece of work together, and also for believing in us.
Isaac: I also want to thank my big brother, Emmanuel Osana- Isaac, my uncle Dr. Segun Toyin Dawodu and his family, for their advice and support throughout my study period. Mr Ernest Enadeghe, for his assistance toward helping us carries out the research in Nigeria and for his motivational advice.
Paul: I give thanks and glory to God almighty for giving me the strength and knowledge all through these years while studying. Big thanks to my dad, mom, brothers and sisters who has always been encouraging me and praying for me.
We also appreciate Mr Isaiah Sunday Udofia, Adewale Agoro, and Pastor Taiwo Adeleke, for being good friends as they will always been.
