Speaking
during the public presentation, the chairman of the occasion, Sir Austen
Ezeanata thanked the author of the book and the producers of the music Album,
Dr. Nkiruka and her husband Sir Chuma Chukwuka for putting on a thinking cap in
investing for future generations.
He
enjoined the public to cultivate the reading culture, as according to him,
"a reader is a leader", he concluded.
In
her speech, the Author of the book and the producer of the music album Dr.
Ngozi Nkiruka Chukwuka said the book was written primarily to honour her
paternal and maternal parents who made her what she is.
The author, Dr Ngozi said that this present age people are going astray because of lack of knowledge "yes knowledge is abounding everywhere but what knowledge are you acquiring? Any knowledge that is devoid of the fear of God Almighty is incomplete".
She differs on the idea that once somebody dies and everything ends here on earth, insists that there is life after death through creating of everlasting legacy that sustains memory.
"We
are challenged through the book to live a Godly, sacrificial life service to
humanity, love one another for a better society. Parents have a critical role
in the development of their family and children but mothers in particular need
to be very wise, diligent, godly ensuring that they lay good examples for their
children. Children copy from their parents particularly their mothers".
Dr.
Ngozi extolled the legacy of her parentage saying her grand-parents were
blessed with good successful children and descendants. She reminded us that the
triple heritage was her heritage from parental, maternal lineage and Christ
himself. She challenges all humans that their lives are book which others will
read today and in years to come.

said that the book was a wonderful experience well documented and advised
people to be conscious of the fact that the kind of life they live would affect
people coming after them.
Speaking
further on poor reading culture, Prof. Nwanna said the only way we can
encourage reading among the people was to keep pushing the book towards the
people and encourage them to read it.
