I was at the market earlier today to buy some things. I was buying tomatoes and pepper when this man who was having an argument with some market women suddenly turned to me and started explaining his ordeal.  He spoke at length while seriously explaining himself. I was listening keenly and nodding my head at intervals while pointing at the tomatoes I wanted the seller to pack for me. But the truth was that I wasn't understanding him. He was speaking to me in Yoruba.  At a point, I tried to cut him short just to let him know I wasn't getting him, but he wouldn't bulge, he kept talking. The thing is that he wanted me to judge a case, but how can I judge a case I barely understand the foundation? I was silently praying in my mind for a miracle to happen. Then almost immediately, another woman interrupted him and he turned back to talk back at her.  That was how I carried my tomatoes and ran away, thankfully I had paid for them. Nobody should stress me please. How would you h...

 On this day 7 years ago, I went to audition for  #TheVoiceNigeria at Westown hotel, Ikeja, Lagos. A photo of a young lady at an Audition with a tag on her neck that reads "Rosemary Nwosu" I was watching #bbnaija  when I saw the advert and I said to myself "Rosemary, you are going for this audition, you won't miss it for anything". I looked forward to the event. I made necessary preparations. I rehearsed on my own. I had the confidence I needed to pull through. I dreamt everyday of how I became the winner of Voice Nigeria 😏. Fast forward to the much awaited day! This day came. I woke up very early. Took bread and Tea for breakfast. Got ready and my sister went to drop me off at the venue. We got there before 8am but the queue I met plus the scorching sun was enough to drain all the energy and confidence in me😓. What can I do naa?  I joined the queue and kept encouraging myself. I didn't get into the building until 12:00 noon 😢 with number 556 hanging on m...

 Earlier this week, I got a message from a colleague asking if I could create an animated video mimicking some key people in the office in commemoration of the World Water Day which happened today. As usual, I took up the challenge even though I didn't know how it was going to turn out, considering the fact that he had so many descriptions, imaginations and expectations. I was happy he came early enough to avoid rush or fire brigade approach. I started on Monday and by Wednesday, the job was only 30% done. By Thursday noon, I had achieved 45%. But the point is that, I didn't disappoint. I delivered 100% today beyond expectations. I went over and beyond. Let me just say I outdid myself. When he saw the final animated , edited and compressed video I sent him at the early hours of today, he couldn't hold his joy. He immediately messaged me that I beat his imagination, saying how he loved it. Today's world water day celebration/event was crowned with so much laughter and fu...

In a world where engineers vanish, the very fabric of our existence would unravel. Let’s embark on a thought experiment, peering into a reality devoid of these unsung heroes—the architects of progress, the problem solvers, and the creators of our modern marvels. 1. Infrastructure Apocalypse Picture a world where engineers never existed. Our roads, once sturdy and reliable, would crumble into disrepair. Bridges, those elegant connectors between lands, would sag and collapse, leaving us stranded. Buildings, once towering symbols of human achievement, would succumb to gravity, their foundations weakened by neglect. Without engineers, there would be no one to mend our broken-down infrastructure. The very arteries of civilization—roads, bridges, and tunnels—would wither away, choking off the flow of commerce, communication, and life itself. 2. Innovation Stagnation Engineers are the architects of innovation. They dream up solutions to our most pressing challenges, turning abstract ideas in...

  The desk tells a story of creativity and connection. Beside the robot lies a laptop, its screen a portal to vast knowledge.  Papers with indecipherable scribbles rest nearby – perhaps algorithms, musings, or secret codes. Eyeglasses sit atop them, a nod to both human and artificial vision. And there, nestled among the clutter, is a smartphone or calculator – a bridge between analog and digital realms.  Our robot isn’t just crunching numbers; it’s deciphering prompts, unraveling mysteries, and crafting responses.

 There's no kind of image you cannot generate with AI, all you need is the right prompts and I have mastered AI prompting for both images and texts. Guess what prompt achieved this? Best answer gets a reward from me. Good luck 

  Indeed, AI and humans are on a fascinating journey together. While AI has made significant strides, it still relies heavily on human guidance and context.  Like I said in my previous post, AI cannot prompt itself—it needs our input and direction. For professionals like photographers, software engineers, web designers, and graphic designers, embracing AI can be a powerful tool.  Here’s how to use AI to your advantage: PHOTOGRAPHERS : AI can assist in  ✳️✴️ Image enhancement ✴️✳️ Color correction ✳️✴️ Automated tagging ✴️✳️ Sorting and organizing large photo libraries Learning about AI-powered photo editing tools can enhance your workflow. SOFTWARE ENGINEERS : AI can be used for  ✳️✴️ Automated testing ✴️✳️ Code optimization ✳️✴️ Predictive analytics Familiarize yourself with AI frameworks like ✅TensorFlow  ✅ PyTorch, or ✅ Scikit-learn Explore machine learning algorithms and their applications. WEB DESIGNERS: AI can  ✴️✳️ generate responsive layouts ✳️...

 You were very hungry and had only one sachet of Noddle at home, with no money at hand. You decided to wait till mid day to cook it, so it could serve as breakfast, lunch and dinner. You took your time, cooked and served the food. On your first scoop, you found a piece of cockroach in the cooked noodle 😞 In all honesty and using this present economy as a case study, what would you do? Remove the cockroach and eat the food or throw it away? Best realistic answer gets a reward from me 

 A Journey into the World of AI I n the era of rapid technological advancements, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a groundbreaking force that promises to reshape the world as we know it. From self-driving cars to virtual personal assistants, AI has made its presence felt in various domains. But what is AI, and what makes it so extraordinary? In this blog post, we'll delve into the essence of AI, exploring its definition, capabilities, and the impact it has on our lives. Defining Artificial Intelligence At its core, Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to mimic cognitive functions like learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. These systems are designed to analyze vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, and adapt their responses accordingly, all without explicit human programming. Types of AI AI can be categorized into two main types: Narrow AI (also known as Weak AI) and General AI (also...

 Amongst things trending these days is the daily increase in girls going out with their nipples pointing out; things you see when a woman isn't wearing a bra. At first I thought all of these girls were actually going bra-less and I kept wondering what the motive behind that could be. It wasn't long before I found out it was not their natural nipples. Those whose mammal glands are out of shape wear Bra with artificial nipples just as seen in the picture below and this further dropped my jaw in amazement 😮😮😮. It was a shocker for me. I mean, why would anyone want to go out without a Bra to the point of wearing an artificial nipple just to belong? Could it be peer pressure? Could it be for the beauty of it? Or just to join the trend? Or maybe they have other plans. Truth be told, this is a very big distraction to the society. A man almost ran into a moving vehicle a couple of weeks back, simply because he was looking at a girl who was either not wearing a bra or was wearing an ...

  I usually look forward to the Rainy season each year due to the fact that we get to enjoy cool weather, especially at night because I for one have zero tolerance for heat and mosquitoes. Plus I get to enjoy some seasonal food and fruits that comes with the season, Pear and Corn especially. However, there are 2 things that raises my concern during this period, Is that fact that rain makes everywhere dirty with mud and the likes It comes with different species of insects and reptiles That number 2 is my major concern. I was on the internet this evening looking for ways to better my blog when my toddler brought a little present and handed it over to me. I was curious to know what it was, can you guess? I really doubt you can! At first I couldn't wrap my head around what it was, and then, booom, I figured it out. It was a middle sized Scorpion that was half-dead🤷🙆. Apparently, she picked it up from somewhere. I quickly dropped it, got a brighter light to be double sure of what I sa...

I have been sober all day. I feel so drained mentally. I feel sick . A lot has been happening lately on the internet with a lot of marriages crashing, people loosing their hard earn money to Ponzi schemes, people dragging themselves over one thing or the other. But one thing actually got to me. The death of the gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who passed on yesterday.  At first, News went round the internet saying she died of throat cancer. Everyone had already bought this News when a contrary News came from a friend of hers stating Osinachi didn't die of Cancer, rather, she died as a result of domestic violence. She died from an abusive marriage. The source went ahead to accuse her husband, Mr Nwachukwu, for being responsible for her death. He said  Mrs Nwachukwu had been on life support for 5 days after being hit on the chest by her husband, when she couldn't hold the pain anymore, she gave up the ghost 😭. Many people who were/are close to the couple also testified to thi...

I love to see people create something out of nothing. I love to see people thrive, even in the face of difficulty. These kind of people are my biggest motivation in life and they are the real MVPs Permit me to share with you, pictures of a young  man, who has taken it upon himself to survive in a creative way even when it seem like a crazy idea. This man makes beautiful Animal Art work from used vehicle tyres The interesting thing about his journey is that he believed in his dream and look how far he's come. I am very sure someone tried to discourage him at the beginning. This is a reminder that you can be just anything you want to be. The only limitations you have is yourself. Failure starts from the mind. That idea in your head may sound unreasonable and unrealistic, but if you see hope in it, just go for it. It's okay if you venture into it and fail, but at least you have this sense of satisfaction and fulfilment in your heart knowing that you gave it a trial, just that it d...
