<p style="text-align: justify; "><br></p><p style="text-align: justify; ">This is about you. Actually, scratch that, it’s either about you or me. Either way, stick with me; I promise we will figure it out together.
</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">You are in a room with a group of acquaintances. Everything seems fine until, boom! dead silence. Not the peaceful kind that lets you reflect on life, but the awkward one that makes you feel like you are suddenly wearing a neon “Talk, or Else” sign like the size of the signboard at our local <em>Mama Put</em>. You look around, surveying the scene, and the thought creeps in: “<em>Should I say something</em><em>?</em>” You give in, start talking, and halfway through, you are wondering if you just set the world record for the most unnecessary sentence. Sound familiar?
</p><p style="text-align: justify; "><em>*Hehehehehehe*
</em></p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Sorry, I am not supposed to laugh but… <em>LOL.
</em></p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Don’t get me wrong, jumping in to save the day can work when you are with your besties or your inner circle. But with everyone else? Nah. It’s not your job to rescue the room from its silence.
</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">You see, silence isn’t the villain here. It’s just there and sometimes, it’s okay for it to stay that way. Life has enough responsibilities without you shouldering the awkwardness of a dozen people who can’t figure out what to say.
</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">When I walk into a silent room, I feel that familiar itch too to crack a joke, ask a question, do something. But you know what I’ve learned? That itch isn’t a command. It’s an invitation you can politely decline. So, next time you are tempted to play superhero and fill the silence, remember: you are not on duty. Lean back, sip your drink, check your phone if you must. Let someone else step up or not. Silence doesn’t need saving, and neither do you. Sometimes, saying nothing at all says everything you need to.
</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Now, be honest: who do you think this write-up is really about, you or me?
</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Anyway, my name is Akpovwovwo Emetekefe, and I can break your writing struggles. If you hire me, you can kick back, relax, or even go on vacay living your best life while I deliver your write-ups exactly how you want them, complete with an icing on top! Writing is my jam, and I can’t wait to make you my client. Leave me a message in the comment session.</p><p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
