"Beyond The Grass" and "Lantana's Promise"

With all the glory to Almighty God JEHOVAH who is the only one who supported me for this groundbreaking film production, which is first time that any Nigerian filmmaker will produce a film especial for the celebration of the annual  United Nations' International Day for the Girl.

I am also the first person to start the celebration in Nigeria with the Nigerian 

Premiere of “Girl Rising” with Holly Gordon of 10x10 and Participant Media on October 11-12, 2013. 

I also initiated the  Nigerian premiere of "HE NAMED ME MALALA" for the MALALA Fund on October 11, 2015.

"Nigerian premiere of "In The Name of Your Daughter" cosponsored by the High Commission of Canada in Nigeria on May 23, 2019.

"The Education of Lantana" is about a bright Muslim girl who boldly refused child marriage in northern Nigeria and appealed to go to school. 

Lantana said that Islam emphasized that the education of girls is a fundamental duty and an equal right for both males and females. A mandatory duty, because seeking knowledge is a sacred obligation for every Muslim, regardless of gender, as taught by Prophet Muhammad, under the protection of human intellect (al-Aql), enabling both men and women to make sound moral choices and understand their faith: that educated girls grow into knowledgeable mothers and community pillars who guide future generations.

"We are the mothers of nations."

The Education of Lantana

 

The Education of Lantana

"The Education of Lantana" is about a bright Muslim girl who boldly refused child marriage in northern Nigeria and appealed to go to school. She won her appeal by saying that Shehu Usman dan Fodio (15 December 1754 – 20 April 1817) , the Fulani scholar, Islamic religious teacher, poet, revolutionary and a philosopher who founded the Sokoto Caliphate and ruled as its first caliph supported the education of his beloved daughter, Princess Nana Asmaʼu. And how she started her teachers (Jajis) who travelled throughout the Caliphate educating women in the students' homes. In turn, each of these Jajis used Nana Asma’u's and other Sufi scholars writings, usually through recited mnemonics and poetry, to train crops of learned women, called the ’Yan-taru', or those who congregate together, the sisterhood.

Lantana said that Islam emphasized that the education of girls is a fundamental duty and an equal right for both males and females. A mandatory duty, because seeking knowledge is a sacred obligation for every Muslim, regardless of gender, as taught by Prophet Muhammad, under the protection of human intellect (al-Aql), enabling both men and women to make sound moral choices and understand their faith: that educated girls grow into knowledgeable mothers and community pillars who guide future generations.

"We are the mothers of nations."

Prophet Muhammad actively encouraged the education of women, setting aside dedicated days to teach them religious commandments and Aisha, the Prophet's youngest wife was among the major authorities in Islamic jurisprudence, narrating thousands of hadiths and teaching prominent male companions. 

The Imam of the mosque; the Alaramma of the madrasa and Shu'aban Makaranta of their Islamiyya school who were impressed by Lantana's Qur'anic memorization (Hifz) of the Surah Al-Baqarah, the second and longest chapter of the Quran, containing 286 verses supported her appeal and allowed her to return to school and not to be forced to marry.

The world premiere is for the celebration of the United Nations' International Day for the Girl Child on October 11, 2026 for the promotion of the campaign for the education of the millions of underprivileged girls out of school in northern Nigeria.

The Education of Lantana Film

 

I am using generative AI for the film production of "The Education of Lantana" about a bright Muslim girl who boldly refused child marriage in northern Nigeria and appealed to go to school. She won her appeal by saying that Shehu Usman dan Fodio (Arabic: عثمان بن فودي, romanized: ʿUthmān ibn Fūdī; 15 December 1754 – 20 April 1817) , the Fulani scholar, Islamic religious teacher, poet, revolutionary and a philosopher who founded the Sokoto Caliphate and ruled as its first caliph supported the education of his beloved daughter, Princess Nana Asmaʼu.

• ​Dramatic Intent: Shows quiet determination, reverence for her faith, and an unstoppable desire to learn.

• ​"I do not wish to step away from our ways, Mother. Every word of the Koran I hold in my heart, just as Father taught me. But when I look at these letters on my slate, I see a doorway. A way to help our village, to read the papers the doctors bring, to write our own stories instead of letting others speak for us. I am not turning my back on who we are—I only want to see how far our light can reach."

  ​Aminu (Father)

  • ​Context: Aminu addresses a council of village elders who are questioning why he permits his daughter to spend so much time studying formal schoolbooks.
  • ​Dramatic Intent: Displays dignity, paternal pride, deep traditional roots, and a changing perspective.

  • ​"You ask me why I let a girl spend her hours with books instead of preparing only for a husband's hearth. I am a man of tradition, as my father was before me. I bow to God, and I honor the dust of this compound. But look at her. She holds the Holy Book in one hand and the future in the other, without letting either fall. If our daughters remain in the dark, our whole village stumbles. I will not be the father who dimmed his own child’s lantern."

    ​Zainab (Mother)

    • ​Context: Zainab speaks privately with Aminu inside their mud home at dusk, trying to gently sway his heart to support Lantana's path.
    • ​Dramatic Intent: Emotional depth, maternal warmth, strategic persuasion, and quiet strength.

    • ​"Look at her out there in the yard, Aminu. She has your quiet eye, your steady heart. I walked the path given to me without complaint, and it has been a good life beside you. But the world outside our walls is moving faster now. Lantana has a fire in her head that water cannot quench. If we try to trap that fire, it will burn us all. But if we guide it... imagine what she could build for us."

Video of Princess Nana Asmaʼu bint Shehu Usman dan Fodiyo

In progress, my historical film on Princess Nana Asmaʼu bint Shehu Usman dan Fodiyo, (1793–1865) focusing on her illustrious life as a highly esteemed Islamic poet, scholar and reformer in the foundation of the Sokoto Caliphate from the reign of her father,  Usman bin Fodio عثمان بن فودي, Sultan of Sokoto, Amir al-Mu'minin, Imama. the first Sultan of Sokoto 

لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٥٦

Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 256 - 

The film will include her brothers, Sultan Muhammadu Bello (3 November 1781-25 October 1837) and Sultan Abu Bakr Atiku (1782–1842). And how she started her teachers (Jajis) who travelled throughout the Caliphate educating women in the students' homes. In turn, each of these Jajis used Nana Asma’u's and other Sufi scholars writings, usually through recited mnemonics and poetry, to train crops of learned women, called the ’Yan-taru, or "those who congregate together, the sisterhood."

MEDIA RELEASE

Literacy Day Marked in Lagos as Solar Tablets Reach Nigerian Classrooms

LAGOS — 9 September 2026

The World Literacy Foundation celebrated International Literacy Day in Lagos yesterday with an event that brought together partners, educators, and youth ambassadors to highlight its initiatives in Nigeria, including the Sun Books and Pen Pal programs.

The attendees included representatives from Sterling Bank, Money Africa, TotalEnergies, Heirs Energies, and Coronation Group. Also present were head teachers from Ikota Nursery and Primary School and El Perez Nursery and Primary School, the education secretary for Eti-Osa Local Government, and Youth Ambassador Rayman Agban.

The event pointed out the urgent need for a new approach to literacy intervention in Nigeria, which has the highest number of out-of-school children globally. According to UNICEF, approximately 18.3 million children are not enrolled in school in Nigeria, with around 10.2 million of those being of primary school age.

Being in school does not guarantee literacy. Nigeria's adult literacy rate is approximately 70 percent, with the most significant challenges found in the Northwest and Northeast regions. Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa has pointed out that these two regions have received 80 percent of the country's education donor funding over the past decade, yet they continue to show the weakest educational outcomes.

Sun Books provides solar-powered tablets preloaded with up to 600 e-books, stories, educational games, videos, and audiobooks in both local languages and English. These tablets do not require mains electricity or an internet connection, making them essential for communities with unreliable resources. In addition, teachers receive training when these devices are introduced.

Since its launch in 2014, the program has distributed over 1,000 tablets. In Nigeria, it is active in Rivers State and also operates in Uganda, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

Andrew Kay, CEO and Founder of the World Literacy Foundation, emphasized that "literacy goes beyond just learning to read; it is a crucial key to unlocking opportunities, reducing poverty, and helping children reach their full potential." He also noted that "millions of young people still lack access to books and the essential support needed for literacy."

The figures behind the concern:

• Nigeria has an estimated 18.3 million children who are out of school, with 10.2 million of this population being of primary school age, according to UNICEF.

• Nigeria's adult literacy rate stands at approximately 70 percent, indicating that nearly three in ten adults are unable to read or write a basic statement, according to the World Bank.

• Learning poverty impacts 64 percent of children in rural Nigeria, compared to 54 percent in urban areas.

• Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of educational exclusion in the world, with approximately 182 million adults lacking basic reading skills, according to UNESCO.

• Approximately 739 million adults around the world are unable to read or write, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics.

The Foundation's One Book at a Time campaign encourages people around the globe to contribute $10 to provide a book for a child in need. The goal is to reach 500,000 children, and donors have the option to select Africa as the region where their book will be sent.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of International Literacy Day, which was established by UNESCO in 1966. The theme for 2026 is "Literacy for People, the Planet, and Prosperity."

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.

What Will Be Your Legacy?

What is your worth to the growth of the earth?

Beyond what you have in your mouth and your smiling teeth.

Your legacy is not defined by what you have done for yourself, but by what you have done for the benefit of others.

It is not by how much you have, but by how much you give.

It is good to build houses.

But it is better to build lives.

Great nations are not built by building skyscrapers, but by building the lives of the people for their general enlightenment, empowerment and upliftment for nation building.

The greatest investment by any government is the investment in the education of the majority of the population.

You cannot build a nation without the education of the people.

- EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima,

WeREAD: Kaine Agary's Yellow-Yellow' Highly Recommended for Film Adaptation

Holding the novel "Yellow-Yellow" by Kaine Agary on Monday, September 1, 2025 while visiting my younger sister in her residence in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

WeREAD:  Kaine Agary's Yellow-Yellow' Highly Recommended for Film Adaptation 

https://amzn.to/4nvC5H5

Our book club, WeREAD prefers  reading more books by Nigerian authors than foreign authors. 

My younger sister, Mrs. Stella Unah is the Numero Uno of reading with over 100 books read so far. She reads novels like she is watching movies, relating with the characters in the stories. She is the Chief Librarian of WeREAD Book Club.

Unlike many of the women in Nigeria, she prefers reading to gossiping.
She can read four books within 30 days.

If everyone in Nigeria can read like her, majority of Nigerian authors will be giving thanks to Almighty God for our books will be selling like books in America, Britain, Japan and other countries with highly literate people who love 💕 to read.

I started WeREAD in 2022 as an affiliate of Bookshop.org to support local bookstores in America and I am happy to say that over US$40 million have been raised so far.

Raised For Local Bookstores

Last month of August, the novels we chose to read included "Influence of A King" by Titi Horsfall; multiple award winning novel, "Purple Hibiscus" by the famous Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie and "Yellow-Yellow" by Kaine Agary that won the Nigeria Prize for Literature in 2008. The first debut novel to do so in the history of the biggest prize for literature in Africa.

https://www.thenigeriaprizes.org/profile/kaine-agary

The exciting romantic novel about the impressionable and vulnerable biracial teenage girl,  Zilayefa, aka "Yellow-Yellow", daughter of a young Ijaw woman Ina Binaebi and a Greek sailor, Plato Papadopoulos in the Niger Delta of Nigeria during the dictatorship of a sadistic military Head of State is highly entertaining. It is one the best coming-of-age novels I have read so far. 

It is a romantic drama in prose waiting for a good film adaptation that will be a box office success and it is the kind of movie Netflix should commission.

Wale Ojo

I see the accomplished multiple award winning actor Wale Ojo playing the romantic role of the retired Naval Admiral Kenneth Alaowei Amalayefa, the sugar daddy of Zilayefa; excellent beautiful Nollywood diva, Iretiola Doyle as Sisi and the fast rising young pretty Uche Montana as Lolo.

Iretiola Doyle

Uche Montana

I don't know any biracial Nigerian actress under 20 that can play the leading role of Yellow-Yellow. We have to do international casting call for her. 

WeREAD powered by Bookshop, https://bookshop.org/shop/Weread. 

WeREAD is for the revival of the reading culture in Nigeria and the rest of Africa for the appreciation of literature with special focus on books by African authors.

IEC Applications Can End Extreme Poverty in the World

IEC Applications Can End Extreme Poverty in the World

I am one of those involved in the concerted efforts for the eradication of extreme poverty in the world. And I have reached the advanced final stage in the development of the applications that can reduce poverty by 80 percent with IEC, Information, Education and Communication methods which I have seen during my years of working as an IEC field officer for the Center for Education, Population, AIDS and Drug Abuse (CEPADA), an NGO founded by Mrs. Hadiyat O. Shitta-Bey, a former award winning Program Specialist in the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) when I did Market Based Distribution (MBD) surveys of the largest markets in Lagos, the most populous state in Nigeria and the largest megacity in Africa and when I was contracted as a public health illustrator and translator for the production and publication of family planning methods booklets in Pidgin English, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa for semi literates distributed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) and as a national Program Consultant for the Child Survival and Development (CSD) projects of the UNICEF in Nigeria.

The first mobile app for all the users to GSM phones has been in development since 2014 and I have also completed the layout for a SaaS e-commerce and fintech app for interactive IEC through social network for wealth creation and distribution among all the users of mobile phones in Nigeria and other countries.

Imagine an app with X Amazon and Paypal combined.

My advocacy for the education of the millions of girls out of school in Nigeria is fundamental in the eradication of extreme poverty in developing countries, because surveys have shown that majority of the people living in poverty come from families with mothers who did not go to school or dropped out of school.

In Nigeria, we found out that almost 90 percent of the bandits and terrorists on rampage in northern Nigeria were born by mothers who did not go to school and without any formal education and thousands of their children were destitutes. Their rebellion against law and order was caused by lack of parenting and poverty with uneducated parents who did not have the information on family planning and family welfare. 

They continue to breed children they cannot feed and they cannot afford to send to school. 

Extreme poverty is largely due to ignorance and illiteracy.

With the use of IEC applications through mobile phones, millions of the people in poverty will be taken out of poverty.

The first MVP of the mobile app was among the top finalists for tech innovation awards in Africa in 2014 and the pitch for the SaaS e-commerce and fintech app was shortlisted for the a tech startups hackathon in Africa in 2022.

Both mobile apps will advance the decentralization of e-commerce and fintech platforms in all communities in Nigeria and other countries and downloaded without any payment by all those who can use mobile phones and the IEC applications will be in their own languages.

On My Advocacy For The Education of Every Girl in Nigeria

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.

- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima,

Champion of the advocacy for compulsory education of every girl; especially the millions of underprivileged girls out of school in Nigeria.

Using underprivileged girls for child labour should be a crime.

The deprivation of the education of any child is a crime Against human civilization.

Education opens eyes for knowledge and opens doors for human development.

Enlightenment is the vehicle for the fulfilment of life in the world.

Millions of underprivileged Children out of school in the world have dreams; hopes and ideas for great ambitions that will be of great benefit to humankind. But majority of them who cannot read and write are languishing in ignorance and suffering the misery of abject poverty, becoming the burden of humanity when they should have become the beacon of modern civilization.
