I feel sick, fever and malaria. I had been taken to a local hospital to see a doctor. The doctor had given me some injections, prescribed drugs for me and had advised me to take some rest. Therefore, I feel I should be allowed to continue with my field studies after resting for some days. This weekend we are going to village to witness a festival celebration which is one of my methodologies way to gather information through observation and interviews.
Meanwhile, thanking you and assuring you of my efforts as ever I put in.

The interviews, discussion and surveys went fine yesterday even due there is heavy rain fallout. Rain is falling everyday and according to the indigenous people they said that this is the rainy season in South East, Nigeria. The Rainfall occurrence is the sign of the Long Rainy Season which normally starts in March and lasts to the end of July, with a peak period in June over most parts of southern Nigeria. It is a period of thick clouds and is excessively wet particularly in the Niger Delta and the coastal lowlands.

The fieldwork was closed after a long discussion summing up with teachers and teenagers and everybody was fully participated in the group discussions. Minor field study continues at Onitsha today, one of the biggest cities in South East, Nigeria.

 

I arrival safety in Nigeria and try to sort out with my research planning. Tomorrow, we are going to Awka South Local Government for my interviews, survey and observations. It was very excited at Onitsha city, Anambra State even due some difficulties but I overcome it.
