Ibo tribe of Eastern Nigeria and lives with his family in the United States.
He holds a BS in chemistry from Boston State College, a BS in pharmacy
from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and an MBA from Bryant College in
North Smithfield, Rhode Island. He is a full-time staff pharmacist practicing
in Boston, Massachusetts.
He is an avid sports fan and loves to read and write poetry. He believes
that the average college curriculum is so rich and rigorous in liberal arts
education that a college graduate is equipped with enough English grammar
skills to be proficient in the language. This may not always be the case.
Alex has therefore chosen to address this issue in this book that reminds
him of his high school English teacher and the teacher’s style of correction of
English grammar papers. During Alex’s days in high school, English language
proficiency was so important that without a pass in the subject, one could not
qualify for a high school certificate from the Local Examinations Syndicate
even if one scored (A)lphas in all other subjects, including vernacular
languages.
Reflecting on such colonial mentality and policy these days, however, Alex
sees some injustice having been done to the vernacular culture of colonized
nations despite the fact that a good foundation in English Language was
helpful to their success in acquiring advanced western education.lihat lebih sedikit
