Episode 4: "Upload Begins"

Absolutely! Here's the next episode where we jump forward to 2005, with 12-year-old Tobi stepping into the digital world and making a bold move…

Episode 4: "Upload Begins"

📆 Setting: UK, 2005

🎮 Theme: Curiosity. Creativity. A Boy’s New World.

Scene 1: Time Skip – A New Era

Narrator voice (soft, reflective):

“The year is 2005. Tobi is now 12 years old. Omobuwaire is 37, stronger but more tired. Uwemwen is 32, calm and wiser. Life in the UK had started to feel like home.”

We see a shot of their apartment, a little more furnished now. Tobi’s room is filled with scattered books, drawings, a toy football, and a small second-hand laptop and a Sony Ericsson phone with internet access.

Tobi (lying on his bed, scrolling):

"Bored... same sites every time… huh? What's this?"

He squints and taps on something new.

Oliver (on speaker call):

"Brooo, have you heard of this thing called YouTube? It's brand new. You can watch videos, or like... post your own!"

Tobi:

"For real?! That sounds sick! Send me the link!"

Oliver texts the link. Tobi clicks it.

Tobi (narrating while exploring):

"YouTube... hmm... 'Broadcast Yourself'... cool slogan."

Scene 2: Tobi’s Curiosity Grows

Tobi scrolls for a while, watching random videos — music clips, cats doing backflips, and a guy talking about skateboards.

Then, something pops up — a pop-up that says:

“Sign Up. Post your own videos. Must be 18+ to create an account.”

Tobi squints, looks over his shoulder. No one's watching.

Tobi (quietly, to himself):

"Heh. I'm tall enough. I look 18 when I wear Dad's shirt. Let’s gooo."

He types quickly:

Username: WhiteFireStorm05

Email: tobistar05@live.uk

Password: supersecret12

Date of Birth: makes it 1987 instead of 1993

✅ Check box: "I am 18 or older."

Click.

He’s in.

Tobi:

"Bro... I did it."

Scene 3: Creating His Channel

He thinks for a while about the name. Oliver suggests something random like “Tobi’s Vibes,” but Tobi wants something cooler.

Tobi (typing):

"Hmmm... Fire... no, wait. WhiteFireStorm. That sounds powerful. Yeah, WhiteFireStorm it is."

He selects a black-and-red flame logo from a free PNG site and uploads it.

Channel Description:

"I’m here to talk, play, vibe, and create. More videos coming soon."

He clicks Save & Publish.

Tobi (grinning):

"I don’t know if this will work... but who cares? This is my thing now."

Scene 4: His First Video – Tobi Introduces Himself

He opens the laptop webcam, places a small LED torch to light his face, and hits Record. It’s a bit shaky. He clears his throat and starts speaking, slightly nervous but determined.

🎥 [YouTube Video: “My First Video – WhiteFireStorm”]

👦 Tobi, 12, smiling awkwardly, speaking to the webcam

"Uhhh… hi. My name is Tobi. I’m new here. I just found out about this site, YouTube. Pretty cool.

I like football, music, cartoons, and I can draw Spider-Man from memory.

I’m gonna post stuff... maybe games? Or vlogs? I dunno. But I’m excited.

Oh and by the way... yes, I’m white. I was born like this. But I’m Nigerian too, so yeah. Don't get it twisted.

Subscribe... or don’t. Whatever. I’m just here to vibe. PEACE." ✌️

Scene 5: Publish

Tobi finishes recording. His hands hover over the mouse for a second…

Then, with a smile...

Click — “Upload”

He leans back, smiling.

Tobi (to himself):

"Let’s see who watches this..."

Scene 6: Omobuwaire and Uwemwen

Later that evening, Tobi is acting suspiciously cheerful. Omobuwaire notices.

Omobuwaire (squinting):

"Tobi… wetin you dey hide for that laptop?"

Tobi (grinning):

"Nothing, Dad! Just school stuff."

Uwemwen (playfully):

"You’re always smiling these days. Hope you’re not chatting with girlfriend?"

Tobi (laughing nervously):

"No, Mum! I don’t even have one. Yet."

They all laugh. The camera slowly zooms in on Tobi’s laptop screen, where the YouTube page says:

Tobi (whispering to himself):

"It’s starting..."
