Hi people, today i  would be sharing m a project done by my older sister, Dr Titilope Sanni, of course with her permission. She still maintains the copyright of the project, and this project should not be copied word for word but should only guide you in your next research project. The project took tears, sweat and blood, and i was played a huge part in the success of it (not to brag or anything…*wink*). I Hope you enjoy and learn a lot from it.
