9mobile has launched Echoes, an AI-driven storytelling platform designed to reconnect Nigerian youths with their rich cultural heritage, marking a bold move to preserve indigenous narratives in the digital age.

In an era where global media often overshadows local history, Echoes leverages cutting-edge AI technology to bring Nigeria’s myths, history, and true events to life in immersive formats. This initiative seeks to revive the storytelling traditions that have shaped Nigeria’s identity for generations, ensuring that these narratives remain relevant to today’s tech-savvy audience.

Speaking in Lagos, 9mobile’s Director of Marketing, Kenechukwu Okonkwo, highlighted the brand’s commitment to sharing stories of resilience, ambition, and cultural pride. “As a proudly Nigerian brand, we are deliberate about showcasing the stories that define us—facts, myths, and true events that form the very fabric of our identity,” Okonkwo stated.

The platform’s debut featured iconic locations such as Kajuru Castle, Idanre Hills, and Ogbunike Cave, with subsequent editions set to explore legendary figures like King Eyo Honesty II and the historic Igbo Landing. Each story is meticulously researched, AI-assisted, and expertly crafted to engage audiences across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

9mobile’s Chief Executive Officer, Obafemi Banigbe, described Echoes as a game-changer for the telecom industry. “This is not just about storytelling—it is about reclaiming our history, our culture, and our identity in a way that resonates with the next generation. 9mobile is proud to lead AI-driven innovation in Nigeria,” he said.

Unlike many digital content initiatives, Echoes ensures unrestricted access, with no data gatekeeping, making these cultural treasures freely available to all Nigerians. By merging tradition with technology, 9mobile is not only preserving Nigeria’s past but also shaping the future of storytelling in Africa.
