Who these systems serve well.
THE PATTERN
Models perform best on what they saw most.
That means predominantly English, predominantly material from wealthier countries, predominantly from particular communities.
WHAT THIS MEANS PRACTICALLY
Better performance on English than on most other languages Better on American and European contexts than on African ones Better on widely documented subjects than on local ones Worse on accents and dialects less represented in training audio
FOR NIGERIAN USERS SPECIFICALLY
Legal, regulatory and institutional information is thinner Local conditions may be misdescribed Nigerian languages have variable support Speech recognition accuracy varies by accent
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
Test with your own material rather than trusting general claims Supply local context rather than expecting it Verify anything locally specific Treat confident answers about Nigerian specifics with particular scepticism
WHY THIS MATTERS
The failure is silent. The model answers about Nigerian law as confidently as about anything else.
