<p>Hi! My name is Waripamo B. Allen, aka PAMO. I'm the firstborn of six amazing and beautiful children, raised by the two most amazing people I have the privilege of calling my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen. They've done their best to raise us in the way of the Lord, and I can see now that they did, or rather, they're still doing an awesome job.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm not here to tell a story about myself. I really don't know where this is going, but I just knew I needed to grab my notes and start writing, following the inspiration wherever it leads (oh, and lest I forget, there's a lot we have to talk about on INSPIRATION). As for now, I don't know where this is going. I feel maybe it should be in the form of a podcast, though. But then a little voice in my head said, "Are you high? Just keep going," and I had to let out a little snicker. I guess that's inspiration choosing violence over its normally sweet and enticing nature, lol. /laugh</p><p><br></p><p>Now, as I navigate life's twists and turns, I'm learning to appreciate the importance of sight and light. Not just physical sight, but perceiving the world with clarity and purpose. This is a conscious continuation of writing because I believe everything you read, you'll reread and relive this moment. Don't worry; it's not cursed! It's just a reminder to be aware and mindful of the consciousness within you, 'I AM."</p><p><br></p><p>I recall my first time at Niger Delta University, where I discovered the concept of freedom. It was exhilarating yet overwhelming. I felt like a bird set free, unsure how to navigate the possibilities before me. But looking back, I realize that freedom allowed me to discover my true potential.</p><p><br></p><p>Oh, and that reminds me: master the art of self-control when you're high on the dopamine rush of freedom, getting a new job, becoming a boss, or sealing a major deal. Please, with everything you hold dear, get a mental grip and calm down. Breathe deeply, look around with a frown on purpose, and notice how quickly the atmosphere changes.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm back in school, and it's not easy because I've decided to put in the work. Scratch that - it's quite easy if you're willing to do the work. Nothing is hard if you're willing, because time will carry the load, and you'll succeed. Remember, only if you're WILLING.</p><p><br></p><p>As I continue this journey, I'm reminded that faith and doubt aren't mutually exclusive. Confronting doubts head-on helps cultivate a deeper sense of faith. There's no perfect; only sincere trying. That sincere effort teaches you the process, turning you into the product of that process. That's what matters most - who you become.</p><p><br></p><p>Be guided ethically, morally, and spiritually. Build the God-mindset, that 'I AM' consciousness, to make the process easier. Master the art of focus to keep SIGHT of what's important.</p><p><br></p><p>Since the moment Mother Nature heard your first cry, and life's blood flowed through your veins, you have been blessed. In that instant, the earth received its first taste of your sacred blood, forging a profound and sacrificial connection between you and the land that nurtures you.</p><p><br></p><p>Your birth marked the arrival of a new soul, secured and protected by the Divine creator of life, and this is evidence that we have all we need to be who we want to be as long as we have each other.</p><p><br></p><p>I've come to understand this truth better now that I'm older. I SEE my parents and the secret fights they hid from us. Gratitude and thankfulness bring love, happiness, and peace. Although there's more to life, but you'll have a higher understanding of it. You'll see the LIGHT at the end of the tunnel.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion of my continuation, my journey has taught me that SIGHT and LIGHT are physical, spiritual, and emotional. Cultivate clarity, purpose, and gratitude to unlock your potential and live a fulfilling life. Be aware on purpose.</p><p><br></p><p>(While proofreading, I had a hard time ensuring I'm passing a clear message, but then I re-read the line "There's no perfect; only sincere trying… " and let out another snicker.) /laugh</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
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 for the Best Content track
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.

user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.

A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
