In 2010, I did some research on "How Parents Can Modify The Behaviours Of Their Children" and put it on my website. People saw it and started calling to ask for my permission to print it, so they would be able to read it offline, because smartphones and internet connection in Africa were not as ubiquitous in 2010 as they are now. Because I was very interested in people reading it, I obliged.
Many of those early readers called and explained to me that it costs them about ₦8,700 (about $25) to print the whole report, and encouraged me to publish it as a book, which will make it more affordable, more durable, have a better quality print, and achieve wider reach. I took their advice, expanded the scope of the work, and published the first edition. To the glory of God, the first edition sold out all on preorder.
When we started distributing in Nigeria, the reviews from parents that bought it were humbling, and within a year, we started having thousands of requests from parents outside Nigeria who wanted the book, because parents were sharing stories about the book on Whatsapp groups. Most of those requests coming from outside Nigeria wanted soft copies, so we decided to create an app to enable them pay and download it on App Stores instantly.
