Nigeria pioneered the robotics revolution when we elected an AI engineered human to be our President in 2015.

Only problem was, in the heat of that excitement, we forgot to put the brain in the robot's metal skull and by the time we realised, he had already morphed into an independent entity where he no longer needed the brain.

Giant of Africa is still importing matches, toothpicks and can't even refine the oil in her backyard. To top it off, they selected a drug kingpin as a President. As if those were not bad enough, you have professors and doctors in different fields defending the rubbish.

What shame of a nation?!

[/color]what's south Africa population now?[color=#770077]

TMKsouth:
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) handed over the results of the 2022 census on October 10 to president Cyril Ramaphosa.

What made this event unique was that it was co-presented by a robot named Melokuhle.

Resembling a character straight out of the epic space movie, Star Wars, the ‘droid’ quickly stole the show.

At the end of the Census 2022 report, it asked the president if he could be its friend and if they could dance together.

Melokuhle was said to be proof of South Africa’s increase in technology and spearing forward with the fourth industrial revolution (4IR).

However, this model of robot is used for a very different purpose overseas.

As opposed to partaking in highly important national events, in countries like Japan, its purpose it to greet restaurants patrons or guests as hotel lobbies.

Other such robots were said to clean and disinfect areas. In South Korea, such machines even greet, serve and entertain individuals at eateries.

But, Melokuhle is still novel in SA with its wide-eyed stare and witty personality.

Women in the majority! More women than men in SA. Does that not portend something for them later?

Census 2011 said SA population was at 51 million.

Yes, when you consider SA and Nigeria's GDP are almost similar (in the $400B range) but SA only has about 25% of Nigeria's population - then you see SA's per capita income is 4 times higher than that of Nigeria.
