Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
As I suggest above, this appeal to/for an African agenda is grand romanticism, not real politik. We know from theory and from empirical studies that top-down trickle-down approaches are unlikely to solve Africa's fundamental problems of poverty, illiteracy and disease. A look at AU for instance, suggests we are too focused on being like the UN, instead of recognising our resource constraints and cutting our suit according to our cloth.
But beyond that continental body, what is the value addition of the 12-odd bodies duplicating activities across the continent? Eight of the 15 ECOWAS countries belong to UWEMOA, the only divide being that the latter are Francophone. Among SADC's 15 members, 4 belong to SACU, and 8 belong to COMESA. Some of these countries belonging to multiple organisations, paying millions in membership fees, cannot even feed their people at home!
Good governance requires prudent management of government. The richer countries of Europe have a single primary membership body, EU...and NATO if you like. So why do we allow France to sponsor UWEMOA as a means of dividing ECOWAS?
African countries are burning money they do not have in such organisations; but they also burn money internally through corruption. The bottom line is the failure of good governance on the continent.

It's all about marketing yourself. If you believe you have the skills, make them believe it too.
Whether it is an official interview position or a networking opportunity, always make sure to take advantage and sell yourself. If you contribute to open source, highlight it in your conversation. If you''ve developed any applications or even simply learned a new technology/programming language, never fail to mention those. Do not let the lack of professional experience deter you.
As a developer, I would also suggest to create a portfolio of your work, no matter how small. If this portfolio is technology-based, like a well designed website or app, that highlights your skills even more and can serve as a great first impression and good conversation starter.

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I think you're asking if there are some apps that you should not use in marketing. I think snapchat is a very useful tool, especially when you are trying to reach the younger demographic, understanding that the app is made for you to share short, memorable and effective messaging that people can get in the first few seconds. If Snapchat didn't have an effective model, then the likes of Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn would not have incorporated stories. However, because there is such a huge crossover in terms of people using multiple platforms now, it's probably best to focus on the ones that will yield you the best results depending on what your objectives are.

How many fishers will be ready to tell you, fishing at large scale is very profitable?
How many even in your environment will consistently encourage and mentor you to gain more.
The role of an engineer, beyond his analytical sense and political ambitions is that of developing substantial growth even low scale.
As a computer engineer (that's how you ought to be addressed even by yourself: the consciousness of who you are) no one hinders you from developing programs and tools to solve issues in your community. Renewable energies utilisation could be part of it.
Have you ever thought of how in coaction with other engineers around you, you could mobilise waste resources in Buea to make it active?
What of developing plants which will assist the women along the Muea market to easily wash their fish for example?
What of extension to use streams, to generate electricity for Student hostels or automation of water plants in student hostels.
Your question shows you have interest in solving Education and Health issues?
What plans have you taken towards that? If you do consistently, the same funding agencies will come to you, then we could assess your loyalty to solve Africa's problems with your skills.
The earlier we stop the blame game, the better.
You might also want to host a session which people who share interest in your field. This particular session comes from a public demand to elucidate with persons having interest in renewable energies.

Hello Emmanuella, It's the same strategy really. It may even be slightly easier for a person depending what their personality is. Think Obama, he already has such a great personality and charisma that it would've been easy to build on that and amplify this brand we see today. Regards,

Thankfully, I never just dive into spending large sums of Naira, because of the space I work in, I am always able to see what's performing well and change gears very quickly. This is not to say that I have not had some campaigns perform poorly. In fact there was a particular campaign we launched in 2019, it did so well, and we tried it again in 2020 thinking because there are more people online, the campaign will perform better, but it didn't. In this situation, I simply laid out some of the assumptions we made that were wrong, some of the learnings, and how we intended to pick up the slack, because it was a campaign that contributed to our overall goal, so when we realised that we had fallen short, we needed to be creative about how we could get the same traction on other campaigns.

Collaborations are a beautiful way to cut across someone else’s following or clientele. She might want to look into that, Instagram ads also work in getting attention, that will mean she has great content already to draw people in enough to make enquires and pay for her service.We often take word of mouth for granted, its still a very effective way of getting clients and its best when its from a client who has tried your product or paid for your services. Always offer get service so your customers can be your town criers. You can ask they please put in word for you in their circles as well.

At its core, computer vision involves taking in images and processing them for real-world significance. In terms of living spaces, people have used computer vision for things like home construction planning, decoration arrangement planning, and trying out furniture in your house. This is cool and all, but I really wish we would explore computer vision for accessibility in our living spaces. If we had robust visual understanding systems that had seamless integration with natural language synthesizers, we could provide more enhanced accessibility tools for the blind living alone. If we had visual assistance robots that could do household tasks like cooking and cleaning, those with mobility issues could really benefit. There will always be an unexplored importance in areas that don't make tech companies money, and those areas often have the greatest impact.
