<p>A little gist on this Lagos and conductors matter! </p><p>Maybe a mini rant, with a sprinkle of something to learn. </p><p>Welcome. </p><p><br/></p><p>It was my off day at work this faithful day, and I decided to go home for a few things. On getting to CMS, I wanted to take a bus that will take me straight to my bus-stop where I’ll take bike home, instead of dropping at Mile-2 and taking another bus. </p><p>(apologies if you’re not conversant with Lagos.. apologies with a sprinkle of pepper tho, sorry.)</p><p><br/></p><p>But you know what, the conductor called a price I could use to take myself on a proper date! </p><p><em>(Hyperbole intended tho)</em></p><p><em>Tirikayyyy!</em> Am I traveling out of the country?</p><p><br/></p><p>But honestly, I wouldn’t spend that much if I decide to take it small small. </p><p><br/></p><p>Sooo, I opted for <em>“small small”.</em></p><p>I took a bus to Iyanaba (1500), and another to Okoafo (800). Please, help me to press your calculator. Is that not ₦2300 Abi my calculator is not good? That conductor think say e wise😂</p><p><em>Odindin</em> ₦700 was spared. ₦700 that I can use for a pot of soup and swallow for a full family! In this economy! </p><p>You know what, exactly the same scenario played out again, and I used the same scope. </p><p>GBAM! </p><p><br/></p><p>That was when it dawned on me, that sometimes we burn out easily maybe because we don’t take actions chunk by chunk. We don’t break down our goals. We don’t take it step be step. We want it once. And that would cost us more, break us more, demand more from us, sometimes, the journey looks just longerrrrr!</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh! I promised you’d find the lesson yourself. </p><p><em>Apholorgizz I contradicted myself. 😔</em></p><p><br/></p><p>Although this scope will not always work for transportation, but the most important thing is that you now know the lesson. ☺️</p><p><br/></p><p><em>Always press your calculator fess, but if bus leave you…</em></p><p><em>My hand is not there!</em></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.
