First woman to acknowledge this
1. As a woman I have benefited A LOT from patriarchy eg if I enter a room and there are 5 men and 1 chair, all 5 men will say I should sit. My clients love going to police stations and other law enforcement with me because they know the officers will be nice to me and that invariably means nicer treatment for them. Benefits of patriarchy.
2. Patriarchy is why I can ask a random man to help me reverse my car (🥲🥲don’t judge me, that is the worst part of driving), and he will gladly do it. I have never changed a Tyre in my life why? If I have a flat on the road, I won’t spend up to 5 minutes before a man will pull over and help me fix my spare for free.
3. Because of patriarchy, women like me in male dominated fields are treated like eggs. 10 criminal litigation lawyers, 9 are men, 1 is me. They will say “let the woman go first”, “a beautiful woman should not be stressed, who did you come to bail from cell?” Sharp sharp I don finish dey go. Even male judges joke with you more when you’re for eg the only female in court.
4. Clients pay more because they know a woman will make it easier for them. Client don ever add additional 200k to my fee because we went together when he was invited to SARS and he noticed how everyone was nice and he wasn’t maltreated because of my presence.
Men (patriarchy) are always nice to me (a woman) and I have benefited more from patriarchy than actual men themselves 😂😂
It is women who are liabilities that complain of patriarchy.

Please, I've got cookies in my shop that's close to expiration so I've put them for sale at 50% discount
I've already lost two cartons to the same issue, there's been no sales
If you're in port Harcourt I'd really appreciate if you patronise me
They cost 3600 but now 1800 🙏
I’ve never seen anybody that wants to serve outside southeast, never!!!
I knew all the lengths people I know go to for them to be reassigned to south eastern states.
These people I’m talking about are not even bigots or something, they just don’t want to be far away from home.
In fact, the only people that always want to be far away from home are ladies
Start early!!!
During PhynoFest, 4pm upcomings don dey perform and by 8 and 9, phyno don make first appearance and start bringing others to stage and they’ll perform until midnight then phyno will come perform again for like 2hrs.

Early this year, when my international remote job was slow, I got bored and applied for an onsite job. I passed the interview, negotiated ₦470k and got an offer letter.
My husband said nothing until I asked, "Dear, do you want me to take this job?"
We discussed how it would affect the family, and I declined the offer the next day.
The following day, he gave me ₦1 million to support my medical equipment business.
Four months later, he connected me to an opportunity that changed my finances. Correct hard currency! It's what took me away from X. I'm here now because I've established balance.
Ignore these lonely feminist noise. Listen to the good man you married and trust his leadership.
There o!!! There!!!
I’m sat like mad!!!
They said African languages were too fragmented, too complex and too commercially insignificant to build advanced AI for.
We disagreed. So we built it.
64 languages. 166 voices. 3 billion parameters. ONE model.
Today, we are unveiling STORM-Ensemble 3.0, the most capable multilingual speech synthesis model we have built at PlotWeaver.
From Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin to Swahili, Amharic, Wolof, Zulu, Xhosa and dozens more, STORM-Ensemble 3.0 generates speech across 64 languages, with 166 distinct speaker voices.
Every voice you hear is generated by our model, not a prerecorded sample.
But the real breakthrough isn't the numbers.
It's what becomes possible when this technology is in the hands of people who can build with it.
-African filmmakers distributing stories across languages.
-Banks and telcos serving customers in their mother tongues.
-Education platforms reaching more children.
-Developers building voice AI products without starting from scratch.
We are not building AI for African languages simply to prove it can be done. We are building the infrastructure to make our languages commercially viable at global scale.
Next week, I will be speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Antigua about unlocking the Commonwealth's creative potential. This launch is a practical demonstration of that ambition.
Africa must not simply consume the future of AI. We must build, own and shape the infrastructure that powers it.
Watch the video. Listen to the voices. Imagine what's possible.
Introducing STORM-Ensemble 3.0.
PlotWeaver. Build Once. Speak Every Language.

Funny how I already wrote a science fiction book about this 😂
Longevity is coming. I’m talking about the human lifespan reaching 300 plus years, and I’m talking about what that does to the world.
We can keep a person at a biological age of 25 to 35. At that age you almost never die of a health condition. You die of an accident. We are seeing this in animal studies from mice through dogs and primates, and I don’t think there is a limit.
A person who is 200 years old and biologically 35 is still working. That solves the falling birth rates and shrinking workforces every country is worried about. Scientists will take on the hundred year projects they never would have started. People will have time to achieve their goals.
Health care becomes injury care. Most of what people see a doctor for today goes away. Governments will want their citizens on these treatments because keeping people young is cheaper than treating them old. The drugs are expensive now. They will come down, and the people who benefit first will be the ones who know to ask their doctor for them.
In the future we will live long, healthy lives as long as we maintain our immune systems. I believe this is real.
You’re an Igbo man, you should know that the elder do not stay at home, and let the goat born in tether.
It’s our duty to protect women and children which is mostly protecting them from themselves.
You see that “pregnancy is a death sentence” debate that has been going on for days now? All I have to say is, if the women who experience pregnancy say it is a death sentence, then let them have it. Some women believe it is while other women insist it isn’t. I don’t see why men need to be involved in the argument. Let the women have that conversation among themselves.
