disseminated to the community under focus.
4. To unravel the problems and prospects of the Urhobo Voice since it inception.
1.7. Limitations Of The Study
The
inability of the researcher to visit the Ovwain community in Delta
State to solicit the people‟s response to the project topic, due to time
constraint is a major impediment. Nevertheless, it does not in any way
affect the overall credibility of the work.

limitation. The unfavourable economic climate in Nigeria Limited the
acquisition of books on community newspapers and development. Again,
this limitation does not affect the credibility of the project since the
researcher was able to improvise where necessary.

personalities whose contributions were crucial to the completion of this
projection involved a lot of time and energy.
