Every kilometre of the route.
From Lagos to Dakar, tracing the West African coast with an inland leg through Ouagadougou. Nine languages, one rolling classroom.
Pilot Phase 1.0 (April 2026) drove 3,000+ km through three countries, Benin, Togo and Burkina Faso, from our Nigeria base. It onboarded 1,000+ people and proved the idea works. It also showed us, the hard way, what to change for the other eight.
Seme, Hilacondji and Cinkansé each cost time and cash. Overland crossings were the single biggest drain on the trip.
Long stretches of the Togo to Burkina road had no fuel, or only jerrycans at the roadside.
A shock absorber failed with no budget to fix it, on roads one car was never built for.
You cannot teach, onboard and film at the same time. The pilot taught thousands but filmed almost nothing.
The whole pilot cost about USD 3,400, mostly personal, with USD 1,000 from Conférence Bitcoin Afrique.
We stop driving across borders. In each country we fly in, then rent and brand a local vehicle, a Toyota Sienna, with a local driver who knows the roads and the fuel. We work the markets, schools and villages for about twelve days, hand the work to local ambassadors, then fly to the next country. A two-person team travels now: one leads teaching and onboarding, one documents every stop. Flights cost less than the hidden price of borders, fuel gaps and breakdowns, and the trip is safer, faster, and captured on camera from start to finish.
