"The degree of clarity and disposition of the playwright is commendable. The play Men of Double Shadows by design ventilates the cruel nature of man in a changing world... This is a promising literary piece."
- Okon, Sunny Akpan, Lecturer, Akwa-Ibom State.
"Men of Double Shadows teaches what happens when a society remains aloof to evil men. It took a young Christian to bring the reign of OKUNAMP| and his two friends to an end. It is a lesson in contemporary Nigeria that the just should resist the evil wherever and whenever they appear."
-Nze Okechukwu Uwaekweikpe, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Zenith Newspaper, Umuahia.
"It is beautiful to see Wellington Nwogu's passion for the theatre translated into script, with a theme worth more than a cursory attention.
-Prof. Kontein Trinya, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt.
"This 'little' treatise is a pad that will launch Wellington to the sky of the literary world. My prayer is that he does not allow his pen to dry for whatever reason. A new giant is born!"
- The Rev'd. Canon Chuka Opara, Director, Federal Ministry of Information, Rtd.

Acknowledgments

It‟s only the river that wants to get dried up that forgets its source, but has a tree ever made aforest? No one has ever made it alone.

Therefore, from the depth of my mind, I give special gratitude to my literary hones; Prof. Wole Soyinka, Prof. Daniel N. Ogum, Prof. Kontein Trinya, Dr. Anthony Orlu, Mr. Amaefula G. Worgu, Mr. Emeka Ikechi, Mr. Emmanuel Inyonminye and Rev. Canon Chuka Opara, for quenching my literary thirst.

Worthy of mention too, are my linguistic mirrors; Professor Amandi Obi-Okoye, Prof. (Mrs.) Chioma O.C. Chukueggu, Dr. (Mrs.) Fumi Adesanya, Mr. Glory Worukwu, Mrs. Ken-Maduako Ibiere and Mrs. Amadi Scholastica, for giving me the fundamental ethos of the language.

I am profoundly grateful to Mr. A.S. Iroka, Mr. Hanson Ukaegbu, Mr. Emmanuel Chike Njoku, and Mrs. Onumbu H. for their moral and logistic support. I extend my regards to friends whose words I found propelling, Yaako Sika Benedict, Princewill Azubuike, Mr. Busari Ola, Blessing C. Nwankwo, Gloria Odionyenma, Iheanyi Amadi, Emmanuel Nwaugha, Gift C. Igodo, Okoi Amadiowei Jacob, Ebeneza Amadi, Cosmas Ajuzie and Friday Akpanudo.

I also extend my profound gratitude to those who encouraged or frustrated me in the course of this work.

My parents, Mr. Loveday Nwogu and Mrs. Edina Nwogu deserve a special appreciation. I am indebted to my siblings, Comfort Nwogu, Freedom Nwogu, Joy Nwogu and Gold Nwogu for their love and prayers.

Mrs Chibuonu Wellington, my lovely wife and Miss Star Chidera Wellington, my pretty daughter merit a trillion thanks for their patience and prayers.

Finally, I joyfully spill my ink in reverence to the Fount of Creativity (God Almighty).
