My Journey Through Life

My Journey Through Life critically records and celebrates my life from Chief Sir, Prof. Alexander D. Wozuzu Acholonu's earliest beginnings through his educational struggles accentuating challenges he has faced and how he has been able to surmount them; Professor Acholonu's career as an academician and public serviceman and the traumas therein; and also, my endeavors in the social and community circles. His personal philosophies and beliefs form part of this full-length work. It is important for; among other things, historical recording of things that happened to Chief Sir, Prof. Alexander D. Wozuzu Acholonu in life and those, directly and indirectly, related to him. It has eleven varied chapters spiced up with the author's views about the Igbos, which is his race. It has a historical flavor that covers not only things about Professor Acholonu, but also about his town, his place of birth. He has summed up his accomplishments under Chapter 6 where he dwelt on his titles, laurels, and professional affiliations. This is an original first work that may serve as a reference work for future generations of not just the Acholonu family, but others outside Professor Acholonu's nucleus family. It is a milestone and written for posterity. It is recommended to scholars of history, to Awaka people, to Igbos at large, and to mankind as a whole. It is written in simple form to facilitate comprehension and made picturesque with the belief in the Chinese proverb that says that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. The chapters are chronological as much as possible and logically sequenced. It is hoped that it will become an eye-opener to the Acholonu family, the Awaka people, the Imo people, and Nigeria as a whole. It is expected to be a resource book, a reference book, and an archival book for posterity. It is written for the students of history. Because of its historical context, it belongs in the library or on the desk of every Awaka indigene as well as academicians, government officials, and all and sundry who love reading autobiographies and widening their scope of knowledge.
