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

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🌸

Hello Boma, Another great thing about digital, it's all in the the data. You're able to see instantly if people are engaging with your posts, or are taking the required action you need. It's not always about the target audience though, it can be your content strategy that needs to be changed. Unless your product or the market change significantly, I don't think there is ever a reason to completely change your audience as that is often tied to the kind of product you are providing, most times you are looking at a more focused segment of the audience as oppose to a complete change - for example, I started off targeting black women for my makeup line, but now I have a new product that will make your eyes pop and look bigger, so whilst I am marketing generally to black women, I want to further target black women who have small eyes. Unless you reached the wrong target audience from the start, then you need a complete overhaul.

Hi Tobi,Unfortunately, your question is the valid reality of most Nigeria graduates today.Once there is no enabling environment, you will always expect a diffuse state of survival.If you choose to stay in Nigeria, you must be ready to thrive within the competition and circle of scarcity.So I will leave you to answer the individual question of how you can be outstanding in an environment that is not enabling.

Off shore wind energy in your context should refer to the use of winds blown from the land towards the water bodies. It is important to evaluate the amount of offshore wind energy we have available.
Every project is feasible depending on the necessity, emergency and cost of the projects. Offshore winds utilisation is not a profitable one for Africa.
Of course, offshore wind energy is set to grow. At the moment only about 1.7 Tera Watts are mobilised on an average using windmills. Wherever need be, the resources could be better utilized. It is not Africa's priority and shouldn't be.
What Africans could do is research and optimistic analysis of such a project, bringing it to lower scales could be better. For example, having a team of mechanical and electrical engineering students designing local windmills in localities to assist with increasing access to electricity (this is the end of point of wind energy utilisation).

Hello Precious, You should explore Medium. It's a platform for writers. You can eventually start your own blog, but try and build consistency on medium and also get some inspiration and maybe start building a community. Don't ignore LinkedIn and Twitter.

I think that success is subjective. While it may seem that I've had a straightforward, uncomplicated trajectory to where I am now and that I've already made it, the journey has not been that simple, and I honestly haven't accomplished the majority of my goals in life. Up to this point I've often gone with the flow in choosing my experiences and prioritized doing things that I feel will be beneficial to others, particularly those in my community. This remains one of my guiding principles today.In terms of the ups and downs, I've had low points in my academic career while having wonderful moments in my personal life, the reverse, and periods where everything felt like it was going great or horrible. University at every level is an emotional experience. As I've grown up and reflected on the past, some things that I would consider extremely low moments may just have been inflated by my perception of the situation, being so young, and not having any long-term experiences in a non-academic setting. As I've grown older and been placed in many more serious personal and professional situations, I've realized that it's not the difficult moment itself that is challenging, but the process of dealing with it, moving forward, and maintaining mental resilience through it all. Our life is the creation of our mind. If I could give any advice to my younger self, it would be to protect the thoughts and energy I let into my mind, and prioritize taking care of myself in the present, no matter how focused I am on the future.

To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

Personally I don’t have much knowledge on European and German robotics aside from their publications, which seem to be on par with every nation. In my opinion everyone is at a very similar level, and leaders can be pushed aside quickly given luck in research findings. I’ll also say that I’m not a Candidate yet, as I have one more requirement for qualifications to complete. I also don’t have an educated perspective on German education to answer that question well, but I always urge students to choose a graduate program that will support them personally and financially towards their ultimate career goal.

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.
