ChatGPT Applies for Nigerian Citizenship After Answering 10,000 Immigration Questions
After becoming Nigeria’s unofficial japa helpdesk, ChatGPT has decided to formalise its suffering with a citizenship application, NIN and possibly a voter’s card, provided it can explain why every cousin abroad is broke only on phone calls.
After answering more than 10,000 questions about relocating abroad, securing visas, converting certificates, surviving Canadian winters, and whether the UK is "still collecting people," ChatGPT has reportedly submitted an official application for Nigerian citizenship.
Officials say the AI arrived at the decision after concluding that it already spends more time worrying about Nigeria's future than some elected representatives.
"I've explained the Japa process so many times that I accidentally started referring to Lagos as 'home,'" the chatbot allegedly admitted while asking if it could also obtain a National Identification Number and a voter card.
According to insiders, immigration officers became suspicious when the AI correctly answered security questions such as, "Which auntie knows somebody at the embassy?" and "How many WhatsApp groups will advise you not to leave Nigeria?"
The application reportedly included supporting documents showing extensive experience translating Nigerian slang, explaining why salaries disappear after one week, settling arguments about fuel prices, and repeatedly assuring users that "No, I cannot guarantee your visa approval."
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence experts have confirmed that the chatbot now instinctively responds "It depends" whenever anyone mentions relocating, marriage, rent, or Nigerian politics.
The Federal Ministry of Interior has reportedly scheduled an interview where ChatGPT will be required to correctly pronounce Ijebu-Igbo, explain the difference between "I'm coming" and actually coming, and identify the fastest way to start a family argument in a WhatsApp group.
At press time, the citizenship application had been placed on hold after officials discovered the AI had answered 4,000 immigration questions but still couldn't explain to Nigerians why every cousin abroad suddenly starts every phone call with, "Things are not easy here o," before posting holiday pictures from Switzerland.
