The story of my success cannot be told or written without the acknowledgment of the important support of Dr. Mike Okonkwo, Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) Church in Nigeria who gave me N30, 000, the first financial assistance to register and start my King of Kings Books International in 2000 immediately after I left my job as the Production Manager of "MoneyWise" an independent business magazine programme on DBN TV in Nigeria. From King of Kings Books International, I incorporated my International Digital Post Network (IDPN) Limited which unknown to many people is the largest Nigerian digital media and Africa's largest publisher of blogs best known as the award winning publisher of the authoritative Nigerians Report Online blog, the leading champion for the education of millions of underprivileged girls out of school in Nigeria; major organiser and cosponsor of the annual United Nations' International Day of the Girl Child and supporter of global causes for equal opportunity rights for girls and women in the world.
International Digital Post Network Limited launched the Screen Outdoor Open Air Cinema (SOOAC) in June, 2013, supported by the Bank of Industry of Nigeria; attracted the IMAX Corporation of Canada to Nigeria in July, 2013; published the first edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series, the first book series on Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry and on October 12, 2013, hosted the famous Holly Gordon, the Cofounder of Girl Rising in Lagos during the Nigerian première of "Girl Rising" at the Silverbird Cinemas in the Silverbird Galleria on Victoria Island in Lagos to celebrate the first ever United Nations' International Day of the Girl Child in Nigeria. Girl Rising started a girl education project in Kano state of northern Nigeria cosponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
International Digital Post Network started the development of
iPost Nigeria mobile video social media application and the demo of the app was the only Nigerian tech innovation shortlisted for the 2014 Fund for Internet Research and Development – FIRE Awards. The mobile video social media app has been rated as more advanced than YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and other popular apps for social media networks. The iPost Nigeria app is in the final stage of development and will soon be launched globally.
IDPN is also developing the Screen Naija YouTube channel on which I have many videos; including clips from my "Lagos in Motion" documentary film and other productions. IDPN is currently working on a comprehensive database for Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry.
You can see all the popular books I have published so far on https://www.amazon.com/author/ekenyerengozimichaelchima.
All these outstanding achievements and milestones started by the grace of Almighty God from the N30, 000 Bishop Mike Okonkwo gave me in 2002. From that helping hand, I have been able to help many people, including those I cannot recognise again and over N2 million have been spent so far on helping the poor and needy without publicity.
