<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">“School na scam!” This is something you will hear from students almost every day, especially when exams are close or when someone is tired of studying. Some people believe that going to school for many years is a waste of time because, after graduation, getting a good job is not even guaranteed.</p><p>But is school really a scam?</p><p>Personally, I don't think it is. School can be stressful, expensive and sometimes frustrating, but it still has its importance. Through school, we learn things that can help us in our daily lives and future careers. We also meet different people, learn how to communicate and become more responsible.</p><p>However, school is not everything. Having a certificate does not automatically mean that someone will become successful. These days, people also need practical skills, experience and determination. Someone can finish university and still struggle to find a job, while another person with a useful skill can be doing very well.</p><p>The real problem is that many students are made to believe that once they graduate, everything will become easy. That is not always the case. Education should give us knowledge, but we also need to know how to use that knowledge outside the classroom.</p><p>So, is school a scam? <strong>No, school is not a scam.</strong> But school alone is not enough. We need to learn, gain useful skills and prepare ourselves for real life.</p><p>At the end of the day, <strong>school na foundation, but na wetin you build on am matter.</strong></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.
