About the Author:
Ikechukwu Obinna Odumodu hails from Amawbia Town in Anambra State of Nigeria and was born in 1971. A graduate of Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, the author learned he had also had a flair for the visual and literary arts. He maximized his spare time in school experimenting and developing his talents in these areas. These early efforts gave birth to commendable works of abstract paintings and sculptures in addition to literary works of poetry and drama.

While still in the university, events and experiences in the life of the author later led to the snowballing of his interest in societal problems such as Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS education. He is the author of two previous books, The Great Epidemic, now titled The Drug Abuse Epidemic and The Youth & HIV/AIDS: Life Values and Skills, both approved and recommended by the Federal and Anambra State Ministry of Education.
