In a recent turn of events, Nigerians on X have voiced their reactions to congratulatory messages sent by Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to Funke Akindele for her box office record.
Akindele's family comedy-drama, 'A Tribe Called Judah,' achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first Nollywood movie to surpass N1 billion at the Nigerian box office in just three weeks.
However, the congratulatory tweets from Atiku and Sanwo-Olu raised eyebrows as users noted striking similarities in their content, leading to accusations of potential plagiarism or the use of artificial intelligence.
The controversy has ignited discussions on social media about originality, emotional intelligence, and the role of AI in crafting public figures' messages.
