Ever heard of “the game”? That sacred skill every Nigerian guy is expected to have when approaching a babe? Yeah, I outsourced mine to ChatGPT.

Spoiler alert: I shouldn’t have. This is the cringe-worthy tale of how I turned a potential love story into a blockbuster comedy.

How It Started: My Genius Idea

There I was, scrolling through Instagram, seeing memes about guys using AI to write essays, book flights, and even draft resignation letters. Then it hit me like a “last price” negotiation at Yaba market: why not use ChatGPT to toast this babe I’ve been eyeing for weeks?

Let’s call her Teni. She’s one of those effortlessly cool babes who probably says “vibes” 50 times a day and still makes it sound fresh. And me? Well, I thought I was about to redefine the game. I opened ChatGPT like, “Oya, show me your skills.”


The Setup: What Could Go Wrong?

My prompt was simple: “Write me a sweet text to toast a Nigerian babe.” And the AI delivered. Oh, it delivered:

“Hey Teni, your smile shines brighter than Lagos traffic lights on a good day. If beauty were a currency, you’d be the Central Bank of Nigeria.”

At first glance, it felt smooth. Too smooth. But who was I to question ChatGPT’s wisdom? I copied and pasted the message into Teni’s DM, added a casual “LOL” at the end (to seem cool), and pressed send.

The Reply: The Beginning of the End

Two minutes passed. Then five. Then ten. Finally, the notification came in:

“LMAO. Central Bank of Nigeria? Are you for real?”

Ah. My chest. My pride. I could feel my ancestors side-eyeing me from the afterlife. Teni wasn’t impressed. She was roasting me like suya on a Friday night.

I panicked and went back to ChatGPT.

“Help! She’s not buying it. Give me something better.”

The AI replied:

“Tell her she’s the kind of girl Davido would write a song about.”

Without thinking, I typed:

“You’re the kind of girl Davido would write a song about. Can we make ‘Assurance Part 2’?”

Her reply? “Ahn ahn, so now I’m Chioma? Do I look like I want to be dragged on Insta? Try again.”


The Plot Twist: A Cringe Hall of Fame Moment

At this point, I was in too deep. ChatGPT, sensing my desperation, gave me its pièce de résistance:

“I’d fight a lion for you, but since we’re in Lagos, I’d settle for danfo conductors.”

You’d think I’d learn by now, but no. I sent it.

Her response?

“LOL. You and who will fight conductors? Abeg, rest.”

At this point, I knew the game was over. Not only did Teni friend-zone me, but I’m pretty sure she screenshot our chat and sent it to her group chat. Somewhere out there, my cringe is trending.


Lessons Learned (Or Not)

  1. ChatGPT is not your wingman. It’s a robot, not Dr. Love.
  2. Nigerian babes don’t play. If your lines aren’t top-tier, you’re toast. Pun intended.
  3. Authenticity > AI. Next time, I’ll stick to simple compliments like, “I like your vibe.”
