Singularity was said to be an illusion seen in fiction movies. We are in uncharted territory with the speed of advancement in AI ... ChatGPT is one of such ... what DEEPFAKE is doing to content creation is disturbing.... these among many. I wonder where developing regions like Africa stand in all of these when we are still grappling with organizing free and fair election and are not able to feed everyone.... the gap is widening and I hope those who are leading are concerned and repent from siphoning our commonwealth.. When disruptors, inventors, and great minds like Musk and Wozniak (co-creator of Apple) are calling for a six-month halt in the development of these techs, you should know we are really walking a thin line between life and death with what these technologies would do to us if we do not create a strong boundary for development, use, and application....

Tinubu was never my preferred candidate for many reasons I have alluded to here and on other platforms. The election was full of malpractices perpetuated by the major parties and it is a shame to be candid. I do not think this is the voice of Nigerians in its entirety, here are my points: 1.
