To the memory of my father, Odegua, for all the sacrifices and dedication to ensure I have a good life. To my mother, Success Odegua, thank you for all the support. To my siblings, Kelvin, Harrison, Peace, Efosa, and Jerimiah, I love you all.

Rising Odegua

I dedicate this to my parents (Mr and Mrs Oni) and to my lovely younger sister, and also to my friends and everyone who supported me during this period.
