Celebrated Short Film "Ngozika and the Magic Water Pot" Adapted Into Global Multilingual Storybook

LAGOS, NIGERIA, September 10, 2026 

Prolific Nigerian author, filmmaker, and publisher Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima has officially announced the upcoming global release of the storybook adaptation of his celebrated short film, Ngozika and the Magic Water Pot.

 Following its acclaimed reception as a cutting-edge, AI-produced short film, this new literary edition brings the vivid, mystical world of Umu Udara village directly to pages designed for readers worldwide.

To ensure the modern African folklore reaches a truly global audience, the storybook is being translated into a massive roster of international and indigenous languages. The book will be released in hardcover edition, paperback edition and Amazon Kindle edition and will be available in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, and Swahili, alongside Nigeria’s major native languages: Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa.
The narrative follows Ngozika, the precious only child of a poor widow, who accidentally loses her water pot at the stream. Terrified of her mother's reaction, she weeps by the water until sunset, when turbulence gives rise to Mammy Water. The mystical mermaid comforts the frightened young girl and bestows upon her a miraculous gift: a magical water pot that will never run dry.

Ngozika and the Magic Water Pot expands the cinematic landscape originally crafted alongside AI Producer Oluwadare Solesi. By blending traditional folklore with cutting-edge artificial intelligence in film production, the project has broken boundaries in African digital media. The new book edition translates these rich cultural textures, emotional depth, and stunning visual realism into a timeless reading experience.

Distributed worldwide via Amazon and other leading global booksellers, this multilingual launch marks a major milestone in cross-media storytelling and the international preservation of African cultural narratives.

"Translating the visual magic and heart of our AI-produced short film into print—and into the world's most spoken languages—allows us to share the core of African storytelling with everyone, everywhere," says author and director Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima. "This storybook is a celebration of our shared heritage, resilience, and the enchanting elements of classic folklore made accessible to the global village."

My Advocacy for The Education of Underprivileged Girls Out of School in Nigeria

My Advocacy for The Education of Underprivileged Girls Out of School in Nigeria

Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima champions advocacy for the education of underprivileged, out-of-school girls in Nigeria through a distinct framework that treats girl-child education as the literal foundation for African nation-building. Operating as a prominent independent media voice, his advocacy blends digital journalism, public policy demands, and strategic partnerships.

His core philosophy, specific initiatives, and public stances on the crisis break down into several key areas:

1. The Core Philosophy: "Future Mothers of Our Nation"

Chima focuses his messaging directly on the societal ripple effect of educating marginalized girls. His personal advocacy manifesto centers on a long-term geopolitical vision:

“On My Advocacy For The Education of Every Girl in Nigeria, I prefer to speak to the future mothers of our nation; their education is the foundation for the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa among the comity of nations in the world.”

2. Demanding "Compulsory Education" Laws

While many global organizations focus purely on funding, Chima uses his platforms to advocate for strict, compulsory basic education laws targeting the millions of vulnerable girls currently falling through the cracks. He argues that voluntary frameworks are insufficient to combat deeply entrenched cultural and economic barriers, meaning local and federal governments must legally guarantee and enforce a girl's right to remain in school.

3. Long-Standing Digital & Media Campaigns

Since 2013, Chima has leveraged his corporate media ecosystem—specifically via Nigerians Report Online—to run consistent public awareness campaigns. Rather than treating girl-child exclusion as an occasional headline, his publications regularly track local education deficits, allocate editorial space to youth advocates, and amplify grass-roots educational non-profits operating in high-risk zones.

4. Strategic Collaboration & Film Advocacy

Chima acts as a media bridge connecting international human rights campaigns with local Nigerian audiences. A key historical milestone in his advocacy occurred when he collaborated as a media partner for the Nigerian premiere and screenings of Girl Rising—the globally acclaimed documentary film mapping the struggles of girls fighting for an education.

Building Networks: He coordinated alongside high-profile Nigerian female activists, including Dr. Joe Odumakin (President of Women ARISE for Change Initiative) and leaders from the Kudirat Abiola Foundation for Democracy (KIND), to lead Q&A sessions with local NGO leaders.

Student Inclusivity:

He used these events to bring school-aged girls, student groups, and policymakers into the same room, utilizing visual storytelling to illustrate the economic realities of illiterate versus educated women.

Role Playing in Rehearsal for a Crime Drama

Role Playing in Rehearsal for a Crime Drama

Here I am role playing in rehearsal for a dare devil character for a crime drama. 

I used my cellphone to record it yesterday, Wednesday February 2, 2023. 

I am still looking years younger than my age mates after celebrating my Diamond birthday on Monday, January 30.  Psalm 103:5 is my testimony. Almighty God truly renews my youth like the eagle's to fly to higher grounds of greater heights of triumph.

Cheers!
