iOccupyNigeria (Verified X Account) claims in this post that AI was used in the final production of President Tinubu’s Independence Day speech.

Fun Fact: On the average, people blink 30 - 40 times every 2 minutes. In this entire 2 minutes+ video, Tinubu blinked only 4 times.

For the first time in Nigeria's history dem use AI to do Presidential broadcast. How we reach this level as a people.

BTW Villa media people, next time try small, Tinubu mouth no dey even move in sync with him words.

Our objective is not to manage poverty more efficiently. We will defeat it. It will take time. It will require discipline. It will require sustained growth year after year and the creation of millions of productive opportunities across our country.

An X user zoomed in to one seemingly obvious case that proves the video was made with AI:

a finger came out of his mouth btw 🤣 https://t.co/O2VbDh2Fpt pic.twitter.com/HTPGxvYjmP

Seun nlfpmod we're not asking you to push propaganda. If it's a serious and legitimate national concern being discussed, then we want it discussed. No American or British media will ignore this type of potentially serious issue. If AI was used, does it mean he can't read coherently? He has to read and sign many documents daily. Nigerians want to know what is going on.

Remember Biden’s autopen pardon allegation? The media highlighted and allowed it to be discussed fully so the public can get clarity

Al or AZ, the Koko is that Asiwaju has spoken.

They say the audio was recorded (or generated with AI using his vocals), and the video was generated with AI, indicating serious health and possible psychological issues.

Is it that he can no longer read or what? Is he in serious psychological decline?

Serious concerns being raised here.

I noticed this while watching him on Arise TV but I just held my peace. Indeed, the movement of his mouth was not in syn with the words. APC is definitely hiding something, but like I said, nothing is hidden under the sun.

There are serious questions around why AI may have been used (if that was the case) especially since Nigerians haven't seen their President live speak continuously and answer questions.

Is he able to read and comprehend? Why would they generate a video with AI? Think about the tens and hundreds of documents he has to sign daily in office.

You're joking if you think APC, 'Oluwole' and Tilumbu won't work together to show you propaganda and magic as the elections come closer

Spoken to TATA boys, you mean to say type

Fakers of any thing imaginable have done it again. Intellectual laziness have led to intellectual thievery wherein AI is being employed to construct a presidential speech. This is how a social media app to filter Tinubu picture with his alleged visit to Rwanda president sometime ago. Terrible set of people in government.

Nigeria is in serious trouble within and without. This is one the disturbing reason they can never let Tinubu face the Nigerian public in a live interview or telecast. More mysteries will be exposed.

Sure that’s not his tongue you’re mistaking for a finger?

Look in the mirror and say exactly what he said at that point while rolling your tongue like that, and see if you can maintain the same posture of mouth and lips.

Also Fun Fact: On the average, people blink 30 - 40 times every 2 minutes. In the entire 2 minutes+ video, Tinubu blinked only 4 times.

They say ? You are not even ashamed of yourself

That's the word going around, and the video evidence seems to establish it as having valid basis.

Do you disagree?

yarimo:

Take a moment and zoom in on this video. You will observe that Tinubu's eyes never blinked once until the speech ended, and the lip movements stayed exactly the same until the end.

They did a revised voice-over using Tinubu's previous videos.

They keep packaging fraud for Nigerians to consume.

Are we back to "Jubril El Sudani" again, have you Obidients checked his ear lobes to confirm?

That video was most probably pre recorded and modified. It wasn’t a live broadcast.

Fun Fact: On the average, people blink 30 - 40 times every 2 minutes. In the entire 2 minutes+ video, Tinubu blinked only 4 times.

Even you who are not talking and just watching, you're blinking more than Tinubu who's talking.

If Peter Obi made a speech where there are valid concerns that AI was used, would it be ignored or suppressed?

Ha ha ha ha...

Una go cry oooooo!!!

Everyone knows that the guy is literally gone..

Life must happen to everyone. Its his turn and his handlers are trying to Buhari him over 200 million people.

Cant work this time...

You saw him at the airport give a statement, did you see any sign of decline?

Saw him at the airport answer basic questions. That makes you happy? Just proof of life and basic cognitive function?

He seemed kind of slow and declining from the indoor event footage, but that’s even the mild part of it.

Are you sure he can still read and write? Seeing a live broadcast would’ve been proof of that.

Using AI only deepens the concerns

He is expected to read and sign tens or hundreds of documents daily.

Can he do those? Or are some unscrupulous elements running government and packaging/shadowing him so they can continue looting the country dry?

I am as sure he can read and write and perform all his statuary duties as you are unsure about the same thing.

Yes he is not as young and viral as he used to be, and he has never at anytime been a remarkable physical specimen, but even his enemies continues to acknowledge his intellectual capacity and that is more than enough for the job.

What you're referring to "I'm sure...." is called "speculation". You're not sure of anything except that he's alive and can answer basic questions about whether he enjoyed himself or not.

For a leader of a country of 200 million+, people need more than basic cognitive ability. They want to be sure he knows what he's doing when it comes to recent action, policy, and decisions. They want to know if he can secure the country, whether he's the one making decisions.

If he's the one making decisions, what decisions has he made recently? That's why the press talk to Presidents daily, to be sure they're in charge and capable of doing their jobs.

For people like you needing only proof of life, we want to make sure that this virus of indolence doesn't spread across Nigeria. That Nigerians are more awake and aware than you are, so they can rebuild their country from those currently destroying it.

I actually agree with you on this. It is a shame that based on the stuff he has been saying lately and in interviews, PeterObi can't even lay claim to this "basic cognitive abilty" that you mentioned.

If truly he is incapacitated.. it won't be hidden for long cuz we in campaign season .. he must come out to campaign body and flesh .. so make everybody calm down.. anything wen blurrr go clear in a few weeks time

If you’re right that my being "sure" is just speculation, how is that any different from you being sure of the opposite? What special info do you have that makes your certainty better than mine?

What makes mine "speculation" while yours isn't?

Do you have any proof that he's not in charge? What parts of his job do you think he is not handling right now?

So, improving macroeconomics and investing in infrastructure is destroying the country? Is having the guts to make tough decisions for the nation’s future considered destruction to you?

Would you really prefer underfunded universities, constant strikes, fuel subsidies, and states borrowing money just to pay salaries?

Is that your idea of progress?
