This platform has been a welcome development. It's been a place to help me arrange my thoughts and improve in ways
to analyse issues, research and communicate my views to others, it has also been a place to vent which is
therapeutic atimes😂

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🌸

You are right...however African companies need to see talent attraction and retention beyond just the pay cheque but the entire employee experience from culture to development opportunities and other areas like employee wellbeing, diversity, long term rewards like shares option, etc.

Hello Temiloluwa, I thin you can start with your personal brand - start to build your own brand, do some research and reading, and gain an understanding of social media on your own. I think you should also aim to work at an agency, just to gain as much experience as possible from as many experts and creatives as possible. I always mention Wild Fusions and Anakle - they are two places to gain knowledge from a digital marketing standpoint. I am sure there are a whole lot of other digital agencies that you can get great experience from, but definitely try to start off in an agency.

Yes, this is a image recognition process that has been done in multiple ways before. I would suggest looking up relevant literature for inspiration and browsing around competition sites like Kaggle or Zindi to get access to datasets!The coolest project I have worked on probably was something I did with a startup to recognize different hairtypes and hairstyles!

How many fishers will be ready to tell you, fishing at large scale is very profitable?
How many even in your environment will consistently encourage and mentor you to gain more.
The role of an engineer, beyond his analytical sense and political ambitions is that of developing substantial growth even low scale.
As a computer engineer (that's how you ought to be addressed even by yourself: the consciousness of who you are) no one hinders you from developing programs and tools to solve issues in your community. Renewable energies utilisation could be part of it.
Have you ever thought of how in coaction with other engineers around you, you could mobilise waste resources in Buea to make it active?
What of developing plants which will assist the women along the Muea market to easily wash their fish for example?
What of extension to use streams, to generate electricity for Student hostels or automation of water plants in student hostels.
Your question shows you have interest in solving Education and Health issues?
What plans have you taken towards that? If you do consistently, the same funding agencies will come to you, then we could assess your loyalty to solve Africa's problems with your skills.
The earlier we stop the blame game, the better.
You might also want to host a session which people who share interest in your field. This particular session comes from a public demand to elucidate with persons having interest in renewable energies.

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
