It has been a long 4 years, but they would have seemed (and almost certainly would have been) considerably longer without the input of various people, who have been instrumental in ensuring the successful completion of the MPhil.
First, I am most grateful to the Lord God Almighty for extending His Gracious Hand upon my life throughout the entire study.
I wish to express my unreserved gratitude to my supervisors, Mr. Ayirebi Dansoh and Prof. Dinye for their top advice and for reading verbatim and commenting on almost everything I sent out.
Many thanks go to my family, Dr. & Mrs. K. A. Nkyi, my sisters and brother for nagging me on during my long periods of procrastination and for urging me on to return to Ghana to complete my research. Appreciation also goes to the rest of my entire family for their support and encouragement. To my beloved wife, Dr. Pamela Nkyi (DPsych), I say hey, thanks for inspiring me that education has no limit and for all the moral support as well.
