THE BOOK
The present work on PRIESTLY MINISTRY AND RESPECT FOR THE INTEGRITY OF CREATION: Festschrift in Honour of Rev. Fr. Egbe Peter Abumhenre edited by Agatha A. Ikhumetse and Peter O. Isesele, is excellent and well-conceived as it touches the heart of God and reminds humanity of the awesomeness of God embodied in creation. Priestly Ministry, therefore, demonstrates man’s response to divine call whose overall intention is the salvation of mankind and the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This foreword, therefore, has pointed to the harvest of souls through impressive and committed priestly ministry. It contains a collection of perceptions crystallized as sincere contributions by various authors which will serve future generations intellectual, religious, and social dimensions. The foreword invites persons from all endeavours to imbibe productive ideas, widespread and intelligent imaginations put forward by competent and renowned authors in various specialties. It is quite rewarding and interesting.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The book discusses language, linguistics and language pedagogy, teaching techniques, computers and ICT in language pedagogies, text development, lesson planning, tools for classroom presentation, techniques in distance learning and the use of internet platforms. It also discusses Standard English, New Englishes, socio- and psycho-linguistics, pronunciation and phonology, grammar, morphology and syntax, language planning and standardisation, among others.
This handy book is a companion to language students, teachers, trainee teachers, as well as students of linguistics. It is particularly important to EFL and ESL in TESOL/IELT programmes, and Communication in English, among others, which aim to impart English language skills to speakers of other languages. It is a comprehensive text within this broad confluence area, interfacing education, language, communication and linguistics, and deals with tools common to this interface; but it is not about pedagogical theories, except for its bias to Task-Based Communicative pedagogies and Learner Autonomy. Eclecticism on the teachers’ part is enjoined.
In dealing with fundamental concepts, the book adopts every-day language, to demystify the technical terms (especially) of linguistics. Accordingly, materials basic to understanding linguistics, language, grammar, pedagogy, theories of language teaching and learning are provided, to guide the practical aspects of teaching, including the requirements to engage in teaching practice, teaching supervision, constructing syllabi, test materials and testing.

THE BOOK
The recommendations within the pages of this most illuminating work do not only tally with the true African way of life, but are also reflective of a system of government that is both all-inclusive and all-embracing.
Prof. Jack A. Aigbodioh
The author in no less scholarly manner adopts the simple to complex method of intellectual X-ray of matters within the ambit of conceptual, historical, etymological accounts on social, political and philosophical discourses. I therefore, strongly recommend this book which fulfills both didactic and polemic requirements of a truly scholarly researched treatise for use by social scientists, philosophers, development planners and all those who love knowledge that is holistic.
Matthew A. Izibili, Ph.D.

THE BOOK
In March 2015, we published on the platform of The Uvwie History Project the book: A History Of The Uvwie People Of The Western Niger Delta by Wilfred Fome Akemu and Gbegbaje – Das I which “is a compendium of the origin, religious worship and resistance to colonialism, traditional, social and economic activities which gave rise to modern developments in Uvwieland”.
The authors of the first book began a process of mining the history of Uvwie. The second book is a continuation of that process. If the first book was a symphony, the second one is a sonata. The latter deals mainly with the culture (the way of life) of the Uvwie people. It peeps into the political, social, economic and technological aspects of culture in the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial eras in Uvwieland.
The introduction of British colonialism in the late nineteenth century made Uvwie to become part of modern-day Nigeria which was created by the amalgamation of the Protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914. Since then foreign cultural pins like changes in the system of governance, dress codes, diets, Uvwie traditional architecture, economic activities and language have been inserted in the traditional culture. In response, the Uvwie traditional culture has strived to be assertive, on the one hand, and accepted to be an undercurrent, on the other hand.
Uvwie was a clan until 1954 when it became a Kingdom with the introduction of monarchy and Johnson Ejuvwiekoko Edjekohwo Eruohwo was crowned as Eruphwo II, the Ovie of Uvwie Kingdom on 1st December 1954. Political reforms have also made Uvwie a local government in the Delta State of Nigeria. Uvwie is being governed by the government of Delta State, the Uvwie Local Government, and the Uvwie Monarchy which is responsible for the traditional governance of the Uvwie Kingdom subject to the constitution of Nigeria and other laws.
