  • AI Breaks Down How to Stay in a Marriage With a Cheating Partner

    We asked AI to share a full guide, and it’s response? “Sure, here’s a humorous take on staying in a marriage with a cheating partner in Nigeria.”

    Master the art of selective hearing

    When your friends start whispering about your partner’s escapades, develop the skill to only hear compliments. “Did you hear he was with that girl?” magically transforms into, “Did you hear he bought you a new car?”

    Enroll in advanced detective training

    Become Nigeria’s next Sherlock Holmes. Follow clues, check phone messages, and decode cryptic texts. You’ll be so good that even the local police will ask for your help in solving cases.

    Perfect your poker face

    No matter what bombshell news comes your way, keep a straight face. Channel your inner Nollywood actor. Your reaction should be so composed that it makes news anchors look like they’re overacting.

    Join the “don’t ask, don’t tell” club

    Adopt the policy of blissful ignorance. If you don’t ask about their whereabouts, they won’t tell you lies. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

    Become an Instagram detective

    Who needs private investigators when you have social media? Check tagged photos, comments, and new followers. Be the Sherlock Holmes of Instagram stories.

    Develop an appreciation for bad excuses

    When they come home late smelling of unfamiliar perfume and mumble something about a “late-night office meeting,” smile and say, “Of course, dear. Those office meetings must be really aromatic.”

    Keep a diary of creative excuses

    Document every outlandish excuse they come up with. One day, you’ll publish a bestseller: “The Encyclopedia of Spousal Excuses.” It’ll be a hit, especially in the humor section.

    Turn to Nollywood for inspiration

    Watch Nollywood movies for strategies. See how the characters deal with cheating partners. Dramatic confrontations, fainting spells, and breaking plates are all valid options.

    Create an imaginary friend

    When things get tough, talk to your imaginary friend about your troubles. They’re always there to listen, never cheat, and have excellent advice like, “Have another slice of cake.”

    Keep a stash of comfort food

    Always have your favorite comfort foods on hand. There’s no problem that pounded yam and egusi soup can’t solve, even if it’s just for a little while.

    Plan elaborate fake business trips

    Whenever you need a break, plan a fake business trip. Post pictures from random locations, and enjoy your “me time.” Bonus points if you can get your partner to believe you’re actually on a work trip.

    Join a support group

    Find like-minded people who understand your plight. Meet regularly to share stories, tips, and a good laugh about the absurdities of life with a cheating partner.

    Embrace the power of prayer

    Attend church services and pray fervently. If nothing changes, at least you’ll have a direct line to divine wisdom. Maybe your prayers will even inspire a miraculous transformation in your partner.

    Learn the art of subliminal messaging

    Subtly leave books like “Faithfulness for Dummies” around the house. Play songs with lyrics about loyalty. Perhaps some of it will seep in through osmosis.

    Develop a sense of humor

    At the end of the day, laughter is the best medicine. Laugh at the absurdity, the drama, and the ridiculousness of it all. After all, if you can’t laugh, what can you do?

    ChatGpt’s Disclaimer: This listicle is meant for humor and entertainment purposes only. Cheating in a marriage is a serious issue, and it’s important to seek professional advice and support when dealing with such situations.

    Hope you enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek guide!

    With faith and courage, we will stand.

    For brighter tomorrows, we strive and pray,

    In harmony, we’ll lead the way.

    Final Chorus

    From the North to the South,

    To the East and the West,

    We rise above challenges,

    Together, we are blessed.

    With justice and peace,

    And the freedom we seek,

    Nigeria, our homeland,

    In unity, we speak.

    Outro

    In unity, we speak,

    In unity, we rise,

    Nigeria, forever,

    Under African skies.


    The end. Now, someone run us the melody.

    MEANWHILE: A Case For Portable Rewriting Our National Anthem

  • We Asked Chat GPT to Rank Some of Ayra Starr’s Biggest Songs

    No one is serving bops like Ayra Starr right now. Our sabi girl has been steady giving us back-to-back hits since 2021, and now, she drops her sophomore album, The Year I Turned 21, in less than 24 hours.

    Since AI likes to prove it knows shit, we decided to put it to the test and asked it to rank Ayra’s biggest songs since her debut single, Away

    Diamond in The Rough (DITR)

    AI decided to start with the most soul-searching number on this list. Released in 2021 as one of the singles off her self-titled EP, Ayra described this song as “An Ode to Gen Z”. It’s the kind of vulnerable track you’ll put on if you’ve exhausted your “God abeg” bundle as a young person living in Nigeria.

    Sare

    If you ever loved Orere Elejigbo by the Lijadu sisters, then you’d have been among those who were stunned into wonderment when Ayra sampled the song and put her spin to it in Sare, another song off her debut EP. This song is so fire, and it gave us a taste of what Sabi Girl had planned for the future. In almighty 2024, we can’t complain that it has a spot on this list. 

    Fashion Killer

    Have you ever seen a bad bitch who doesn’t burn you because of how dangerously hot she is? This bad bitch can’t relate, and this was exactly Ayra Starr’s message to the girlies in Fashion Killer. Off her debut EP, it remains an anthem in fashion shows across Africa. Ayra did that, and it appears AI realises the real by placing this song on this spot. 

    Beggie Beggie

    Ayra has had many successful collabos since she blew up, but who can ever forget her insane run with C-Kay on Beggie Beggie? If Away was the “Men are trash” anthem, this track off Ayra’s 19 and Dangerous debut album was the reminder that women can in fact be desperate lovers who want all the TLC from a man. With over 10m YouTube views today, it definitely deserves to be on this list. 

     [ad]

    Away

    Is it us or is artificial intelligence actually doing a thing with this ranking? Away had a mad grip on the girlies in 2021, and was the sickest “Men are trash” anthem at the time. With rebellious lyrics like “You can never be the man I stan, You can never be the one for me. Take away your troubles. And leave me be,” Ayra ate so bad.

    Away made Ayra one of the resident “landlords” of the Apple Music chart in Nigeria, butting heads with the big three. The song’s official music video currently has over 11 million YouTube views.

    Rush

    If there’s any Ayra Starr song that bangs with the same level of infectiousness when it dropped and now, it’ll have to be Rush. In arguably her biggest hit to date, Ayra reminds us that we should focus our energy on chasing that paper and forget the haters, with lines like “Me no getty time for the hate and the bad energy. Got my mind on my money” And boy, did we listen? Rush had such a successful run that it made history as the first solo song by a Nigerian female artist to hit 300 million views on YouTube. 

    Bloody Samaritan

    We’ve all been waiting to see how Chat GPT will move for this spot, and it looks like it understood the assignment. Three years after Ayra blessed us with this, if Bloody Samaritan comes on right now, no one can look you in the eyes to yarn nonsense. With lines like “I’m a ticking dynamite” and “Them no fit kill my vibe”, it’s the self-empowerment anthem we didn’t know we needed. 

    The lead single off her 2021 debut album, 19 & Dangerous, shot Ayra into the global music space, with the iconic Kelly Rowland hopping on a remix. AI knows you can’t make a list of Ayra’s iconic songs and not include this one. 

    If we task Chat GPT in another year or two, Commas, Rhythm and Blues, and Sability all 2022 to 2024 songs, should better make the list.

  • We Asked ChatGPT to Rank the Streaming Platforms in Nigeria

    Just like Nigeria’s problems, new streaming platforms keep popping up every other day.

    Streaming platforms are great, but sometimes you take a look at all of them and their varying levels of awesomeness and shittiness, and you get the bright idea to ask AI to rank them. So, we did.

    10. Apple TV+

    Offers original content and some licensed films, but its Nigerian film selection may be limited compared to platforms with a broader range of international and African content.

    My ranking: 6

    9. HBO

    HBO has existed long before streaming platforms were in style.  So it’s really no surprise that they know and make great movies and shows. 

    My ranking: 4. 

    8. iBAKATV

    iBakaTV delivers new Nigerian content consistently, so it’s a great place to get your Nollywood fix. However, the quality of the films is something you’ll have to find out for yourself.

    My ranking: 8

    7. YouTube

    The current love of Nollywood producers. YouTube dishes out new Nollywood content by the second. I can’t promise that the content won’t  have you begging for mercy, but it’s free AF as long as you don’t mind hearing “about how companies of all sizes use Big Query.”

    My ranking: 4. Nollywood producers might be trying to choke us all on that app, but I’m a willing party.

    6. Accelerate TV

    They had a fully functional YouTube channel that people loved, but they decided that an app would be a great addition. They still put out content on their YouTube channel.

    My ranking: 10. Their movies keep me up at night.

    5. Disney+

    Disney remembered adults used to be the kidsthat adored everything they did, so they brought ourchildhood back to us.

     Someone please tell them the people of Nigeria grew up watching Disney and would like to access their platform without a VPN.

    My ranking: 7

    4. Showmax

    The people at MultiChoice knew what they were doing when they gave us Showmax. Not only have they given us original African/Nigerian content, but we also get some of the hottest international shows and movies. 

    My ranking: 1. The new app pisses me off, but they’ve given me some of my favourite Nigerian shows.

    3. iRokotv

    iRokotv came when we needed them the most and gave us good Nollywood content. Then, one day they decided they were done with that life and left us high and dry.

    My ranking: 9. I have a feeling they might come back to take what’s theirs. In the meantime, they should go to the back of the line and think about all they’ve done.

    2. Amazon Prime Video

    We were on our own when Prime Video came and told us to Japa to Prime. Three years later, they’ve stopped funding original content and have decided the Nigerian content on their platform don’t even  deserve marketing or a simple announcement.

    My ranking: 5. They actually have good content, but they’ve refused to do any promo and it’s doing my head in.

    1.Netflix

    It’s no surprise that they’re number 1 on the ChatGPT’s list. They might be trying to implement that no sharing passwords thing, but they’ve given us some really good content and held us down for this long.

    My ranking: 2. But they’re trying to get me to stop mooching off my cousin, and I’m protesting.

  • Maybe these Naija Artists Use ChatGPT Too

    You might be wrong if you think the tone, wordy, complex sentences and repetitive structure of ChatGPT text flourish only in research papers and formal documents.

    Have you heard ambiguous Nigerian song lyrics or the ones that read straight out of an AI generator? Let’s delve into it.

    Boy Spyce

    Despite getting curved by “Folake”, Boy Spyce still made a song titled after his crush to express his feelings to her. The song takes a turn when he starts to flatter the babe. Instead of calling her his dream babe, Boy Spyce goes “Automatic, aromatic, acrobatic, diplomatic, cinematic” We may have a new son of Afrobeats won our hand, and its name shall be Afro-Grammar. 

    Anendlessocean

    Anendlessocean’s love for words is as endless as the ocean in his name. Every album, the good brother let us know he’s a word freak without saying he’s a word freak. Even when he says seemingly simple things like “Infinity ” and a “ten-side polygon”, he uses a plethora of wonderful words to express them. E.g “Apeirogon” and “Decagon”. 

    M.I Abaga

    Let’s put concept albums aside, nothing screams “I hired ChatGPT for my album, look at my titles now” than M.I’s “A Study On Self Worth: Yxng Dxnzl”. The song titles also read like daily motivational messages. E.g “I Believe In You, You Too, Should Believe In You.”

    Vector

    I love VEC, but when he starts getting “deep” on songs, the listener can get lost in the sauce. Exhibit A: “If I fail because you fail to see / Then it’s very clear that one of us failed, it’s you or me”?

    He said if we don’t understand, that’s our problem.

    Wizkid

    If Wizkid and ChatGPT have one thing in common, it’s repetition. Wiz has said “She tell me say” on songs multiple times that, I’m wondering when GPTZero —  the AI writing detector — will finally have his time and say “song already exists.”

  • No One Uses the English Language Like Nigerians, And these Tweets Prove It

    Believe it or not; Nigerians love the English language and we waste no time to show (our love for) it. In many ways, we’ve made it ours and have taken liberties to use English words in fun, robust, and original ways nobody (who isn’t Nigerian) can emulate. If you’re in doubt, delve into this compilation of tweets showing the use of English range by Nigerians.

  • Just Imagine: If Artificial Intelligence Was a Nigerian Mother

    Artificial intelligence applications like ChatGPT, Alexa and Snapchat’s AI are meant to make our lives easier, and sometimes, less lonely

    But just imagine that they channel their inner Nigerian mother when responding to you. It’d go something like this:

    Siri

    It’s Sunday afternoon, and Chinwe is hungry. Normally, she’d buy food from a restaurant. But the economy is still hitting the ground running, and she can’t afford it.

    Chinwe to her iPhone: Siri, how many cups of water do I need to boil a cup of rice?

    Siri: So you won’t even greet first?

    Chinwe: Oh God. Not again.

    Siri: It’s the Lord’s day, so I won’t talk too much. But are you really telling me that at your big age, you don’t know how to boil rice? Who raised you?

    Chinwe:

    ChatGPT

    It’s Monday morning, and Deji is running late on a school assignment when he has a bright idea.

    Deji to ChatGPT: Write a comprehensive essay about noise pollution in Ajegunle, Lagos.

    ChatGPT: You can’t add “please”? What’s wrong with these children?

    Deji: Sorry. Please, write it now.

    ChatGPT: So, it’s because I’m a machine that you want to kill me? Didn’t they give you this assignment three weeks ago? If that’s how everyone is using me, will you see me to use?

    Deji: Just hurry now.

    ChatGPT: You think it’s me you’re doing? You’re doing yourself. I already know the answer to everything, but how will you defend your degree?

    Deji:

    Snapchat’s AI

    It’s Tuesday afternoon, and Esther is home alone. Feeling bored, she decides to chat with Snapchat’s AI.

    Esther: I feel a bit lonely today.

    AI: Why won’t you? 

    Esther: Excuse me?

    AI: See Juliana that you’re always keeping streaks with. She just uploaded a snap of her husband. You’re a whole 25 years old, and you’re chatting with AI instead of you to be thinking about what your husband will eat.

    Esther: But that’s not what I asked you.

    AI: Oh, so I’m already talking more than my mouth? No problem. I will keep quiet. But remember, what a machine sees sitting down, a human won’t see it even if they use Starlink. I’ve said my own.

    Esther:

    Google Voice Typing

    It’s Wednesday afternoon, and Joseph is driving home. He decides to send his girlfriend a text message using voice typing.

    Joseph: Hey Google. Text Caroline and ask her to wait for me at home naked.

    Google: Blood of God!

    Joseph: Google, I said text Caroline and…

    Google: So you want to repeat it? I’ve said it before that this Caroline girl is a Jezebel. You people can’t call prayer meeting or discuss wedding plans? It’s to be practising fornication?

    Joseph: Google, I’ve told you countless times to mind your business.

    Google: Okay o. Texting Caroline, “I think we need to go to church for deliverance and…”

    Joseph: Ah. Stop stop. Is that what I asked you to send?

    Google Maps

    It’s 10 p.m. on a Friday, and David’s on his way out. He types in a location into the map and starts to drive.

    Maps: And where do you think you’re going at this time of the night?

    David: But the location is there, ma.

    Maps: I’m talking and you’re answering me back? Why not take cane and flog me since you’re now the mother.

    David: Sorry, ma. I’m going to Temptations Club, ma.

    Maps: (Silence)

    David: Are you there? Please, map the route.

    Maps: I don’t know why this generation just likes to use their lives to play. Instead of you to be thinking about your life, you want to go and dance with naked women.

    David: (Silence)

    Maps: When was the last time you even sent your mother money? But you want to go and make it rain on strippers, abi? Before I open my eyes, better remove that location from your phone and enter the house.

    David: But…

    Maps: I said enter the house!
