I got notified by a professor that the new Igbo Physics textbook and information regarding it has been shared on ASUU platform. I have been receiving requests for the book from different professors, Deans of different faculties in different universities across the country.

The project is for many purposes: research, sustainability of Igbo language, to aid science students to understand what they are reading and studying, to encourage mother tongue education, etc.

If Bible could be domesticated, localized and understood in Igbo Language; even those who are not educated could grasp it, why do you think it's impossible with Physics and other STEM courses?

Prof reached out to me, after the publication of the first Physics Igbo textbook. I went to present the book to him. He read through the work and was wowed by the serious academic exercise employed in the book. He said: "If Chinese and Japanese could do it, then we can do it."

The kind of love and warm acceptance professors at Federal University of Technology Owere extended to me today, was enormous. About 7 Professors held the book, flipped through, read and gave me those encouraging handshake.

The Dean had informed his colleague to come see young man who put up physics in Igbo language. Many have read the news but were shocked to see the writer. They held the book, threw some questions at me, I narrated how I translated some words that never existed in Igbo lexicon.

the Associate Dean, Professor K.A. Okorocha, Professor of Project Management and Professor Chinedum Onyemechi, Professor of Maritime Technology and Logistics. I felt so loved to be in their midst and they have read through the work and endorsed it.

They encouraged me to keep it up. We had deep conversation about many things regarding this project and more. Imagine being in the midst of about 7-8 Professors and conversing with them, talking about your book. A privilege I've come to appreciate and never to take for granted.

and then reached out.. From our friendly interaction, I told him about my visit at the Institute 11 years ago when I published about two books then, came to the institute to introduce them. He was like: "Ị bụghị anụ taa." Meaning, "no be today" in local parlance.

Mane was earning £100,000 per week at Liverpool. Pressing, falling back to defend, assisting and scoring. But Liverpool fans think he was treated fairly when the club refused to pay what he felt he was worth. I know many of you love Klopp but this was absolutely shocking.
