The concept

A faceless, cinematic mini-doc series on how Nigeria and Africa got online, and built. One turning point per episode. The wave engine that makes both ventures make sense.

It is not an ad. It is a story that earns attention first, then makes the next step obvious. You are the through-line, so the audience follows you, and the ventures catch the intent.

Format
20 to 40s vertical + 3 to 5min YouTube

The name

How We Got Online Locked

This is the name. A stranger knows the channel instantly, nobody owns it, it is off the crowded Naija Tech street, and it scales past Nigeria to the whole continent, which is the long game. Handle: @howwegotonline on YouTube, IG and TikTok.

The shortlist we chose from

How We Got Online
Clarity
The clearest and most ownable. Doubles as your tagline, and scales past Naija to all of Africa.
The Lagos Protocol
Cinematic
Tech coded, place anchored, most brandable. Sounds like a docuseries people binge.
Before The Wave
Thesis
Ties straight to your investment thesis, position before the wave. Origin story energy.
Naija Origins
Brandable
Short, clean handle, origin framing. Easy to say, easy to find.
The Rewire
Bold
A nation rewiring itself. Punchy, one word, wide open.
The call

Locked on How We Got Online for clarity, ownership, and pan-African scale. The Lagos Protocol was the runner-up (more cinematic, but it boxes us into Lagos). Next: grab the @howwegotonline handles and we render Episode 1 under it.
