<p>Nice choice ✅ — “Everyday African Life” content is very relatable and usually gets people talking.</p><p>Here’s a <strong>sample draft</strong> you can adapt for your TwoCents page:</p><hr/><h3>✍🏽 <em>“What Lagos Traffic Taught Me About Patience”</em></h3><p>If you live in Lagos, you know traffic is not just traffic — it’s a lifestyle.<br/>
One minute you’re optimistic, thinking you’ll get to your destination in 30 minutes. The next minute, you’re stuck behind a yellow bus whose conductor is arguing with a passenger over ₦50 change.</p><p>At first, I used to get angry. My blood pressure would rise, and I’d start questioning my life choices. But over time, I realized Lagos traffic is a teacher.</p><ul>
<li>It teaches <strong>patience</strong>: no matter how much you shout or honk, the road won’t magically clear.</li>
<li>It teaches <strong>adaptation</strong>: sometimes you have to find joy in small things, like the hawker selling gala and pure water.</li>
<li>And it teaches <strong>gratitude</strong>: because when you finally arrive at your destination, you value peace in a new way.</li>
</ul><p>Maybe life is like Lagos traffic — frustrating at times, but full of hidden lessons if you pay attention.</p><p>👉 Have you ever learned something surprising from everyday struggles like traffic, queues, or power outages?</p><p><br/></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.
