About this course

A beginner-friendly, hands-on guide to AI image and video generation for Nigerian hustles — writing prompts that actually work, controlling style, size and quality, fixing the rough edges, animating short clips, and using it all to sell, honestly and safely.

You describe a picture in words — a prompt — and the AI imagines it for you. It is not a camera and not Google; it is a brilliant visual guesser. You stay the director.
