My friend Chibuzo Ihuoma made this list after a rigorous research which is still ongoing.
I am glad our Odogwu Igbo, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro is now Walking the Talk and visiting physically. The issue is, will his work be seen, valued and funded now? Mba. They won't talk funding... Instead we will be suggesting more places we think he should go. 🙄
Daniel Chukwuemeka only very few understand the nitty gritty associated with field research and appreciate it.
