<p>No, you can’t.</p><p>And I pray you never do.
</p><p>It’s a cycle relentless, grinding, a wheel of fire that scorches as it spins. You push, you strive, you dream, only to find that your very existence is a threat. Why? The Akassa people of Nigeria say it best: “Fish wey go big, nah from small them go know am.” The fish destined to grow big is spotted early. And so are you.
</p><p>You are a threat because you dare. You challenge the norms, the status quo, the unspoken rules that bind society. You question the systems that thrive on ignorance, the governments that rule by keeping minds small. Knowledge is your weapon, and they fear it. They fear you.
</p><p>You sit in an interview room, your dreams tucked neatly into your resume. But they don’t see your potential—they see your power. They see someone who might outshine them, someone who might make them irrelevant. So they shut the door. Again.
</p><p>In a world where women uplift women, and even men champion women’s causes, the African man is left to grind. Alone. You fight not just to be great, but to survive. The battle has shifted—it’s no longer just about the body or the mind. It’s about the soul, the spirit. Some fight with knowledge, others with charms, and some on their knees. Which path do you choose?
</p><p>Let’s not pretend. No man walks this road alone anymore. You must hold something above you, something unseen. Because even as you fight and build, you don’t fully understand.</p><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 between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The 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.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
