The video podcast highlights an important, but largely unexploited opportunity, in the field of AI data annotation in Nigerian languages, in particular Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. The main premise is that, although the global development of AI has largely focused on major languages like English, there is a critical shortage of data annotated for Nigerian languages. This difference prevents AI models from effectively serving the vast population which communicates mainly in these local languages.
Ndubuisi Ekekwe stresses that the construction of robust data systems for Nigerian languages has a “latent opportunity” for innovators. These systems would allow the development of AI models that include and process information in native contexts, going beyond English-centered approaches. This has deep implications for various sectors, including consumer goods and rapidly evolving markets, where localized AI can improve the commitment and scope of consumers.
Potential customers cover research laboratories, large technological companies, local consumer goods companies and video shopping platforms, all seek to connect with Nigerian communities in their favorite languages. The competitive advantage acquired by the supply of AI solutions in mother tongues is substantial, in particular in regions where English mastery could be limited.

The podcast describes several commercial models, direct annotation services to the development of the platform, but underlines the importance of reaching a critical scale for successful negotiation and market penetration. Above all, the vision extends beyond the simple annotation to include the entire Life cycle of the AI: use annotated data for training, evaluation, synthesis and analysis in a continuous system in a closed loop. This holistic approach, applied to Nigerian languages, is presented as a powerful differentiator and a key to unlocking the full potential of AI in the Nigerian context.
