From the moment Tobi shared the link with me and I joined, I never looked back - it's TwoCents till infinity!
Esther Omemu
Design Associate @ Hera Marketing
Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

No I don't! I think today, ML is being used a crutch to solve major problems when simple solutions are much more effective. For example, if you talk about leveraging ML to create better educational outcomes but you don't have enough schools or even electricity to run these systems, there is obviously a mismatch in priorities.

Excellent question John. In project management, there is something called management reserves, this is used to handle unknown risks. Management principles will always imbibe management reserves in solving unknown risk.The use of analogous estimating, which is historical knowledge is also another way of solving unknown problems.

Hi Israel,
That's a good question. As the world opens up, we're also thinking about different event formats.
While I'm not sure we might follow the townhall format, we have a few events lined up this year, there's even going to be one relating to the content creation, so watch out for that.

At its core, computer vision involves taking in images and processing them for real-world significance. In terms of living spaces, people have used computer vision for things like home construction planning, decoration arrangement planning, and trying out furniture in your house. This is cool and all, but I really wish we would explore computer vision for accessibility in our living spaces. If we had robust visual understanding systems that had seamless integration with natural language synthesizers, we could provide more enhanced accessibility tools for the blind living alone. If we had visual assistance robots that could do household tasks like cooking and cleaning, those with mobility issues could really benefit. There will always be an unexplored importance in areas that don't make tech companies money, and those areas often have the greatest impact.

The use or existence of renewable energy is not directly related to carbon emissions. Ghana had a 3.54% carbon footprint in 2016, while Africa's global compounded carbon footprint is expected to be 3.8% by 2021. This means that Africa's contribution to the total of 76% of CO2 emissions is extremely small.
Renewable energy sources are more of a convenience factor than a global concern. In remote villages, using a solar-paneled lamp at night is easier and safer than using a kerosene lamp. How much more expensive is kerosene today compared to 20 years ago?
Renewable energy will not be able to replace conventional energy. Take note that the amount of fossil fuels used to manufacture an electric car's battery is greater than the amount used to drive 60 (average fuel consumption) cars over a 100km road.
For a family, having a well dug within their property is safer and easier than having the kids run to the streams at night out of a rampant fear of watercraft. Renewable energy sources play an important role.
How many years do we need to wait for geothermal sources?
Is electricity, by the way, not derived from a renewable source? Dams are used to generate electricity from naturally flowing streams that are fed by an inland flow of water.
The more living things die, the more biomass there is. Renewables will always be a question, as old as recycling and as new as 7th generation electric vehicles.
I am ready to learn more from you.

Hello Michael, You must treat your competition like your best friend, you always need to be ware of what steps they are taking, so you can stay one step ahead. In some instances, partner with your competition, they already have target audience you need, why not tap into that, if they are happy to.

Hello Rhoda, Be intentional about your online presence by doing your own research and learning and using that to grow your personal brand, if that's the way you want to go, or other brands. I think also try to attend trainings, seminars, etc and meet other people in the space. Wild Fusions and Anakle are the top digital agencies for me, but there are a bunch of others out there

There are several challenges that a new entrant can face in the work place. But I will like to mention the top two.1. Adopting the work culture: Work place is so different from school, you will need to unlearn, re-learn and learn the procedures, policies and process assets required to function effectively in your specific organisation.2. Going the extra mile: In the workplace, there is actually nothing like, "my best is enough". You will need to always continuously improve in order to stay relevant and stay winning.
