<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 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

Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.

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.
