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🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
Find a problem worth solving around you, solve it and make a business out of it.
Dr. Stephen Oluwatobi
Founder @ Pertinence Group & Edustart
The simple idea of doing a business shows you are somebody. To start, besure of what you want to share, be sure of who needs it and be sure its going to bring back returns. Remember you are not a nobody, you are definitely someone's answered prayers. Know that you hold the solution to the world's biggest problem...just be able to identify, start telling someone about it. The first step is always the founding step.

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.

I don't think your worry should touch on the originality of your domestic statute (your privacy act).
What is most important is wether this particular legislation meets up with standards provided by international law in protecting of privacy . For instance the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The African Charter on Human rights, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, The European Convention for the protection of human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms etc..
It is equally very important to note that no domestic legislation on rights protection exist in "limbo" ; inspiration must be drawn from some where , but what matters most is ; principles governing that statue must not fall short of universally accepted international standards.

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.

Collaborations are a beautiful way to cut across someone else’s following or clientele. She might want to look into that, Instagram ads also work in getting attention, that will mean she has great content already to draw people in enough to make enquires and pay for her service.We often take word of mouth for granted, its still a very effective way of getting clients and its best when its from a client who has tried your product or paid for your services. Always offer get service so your customers can be your town criers. You can ask they please put in word for you in their circles as well.

I think these social media tech giants are right because at law; where ever there is a right , there is an obligation. Though there is enormous efforts by stake holders in recent years to protect freedom of expression online and offline every one (digital citizens inclusive) owe each other the obligation not to abuse these rights .
For instance defamation; with the advent and impact of the internet, and particularly social media networks, it is easier than ever to publish content to a very wide audience in no time . Therefore article 17 of the ICCPR provides for the protection against unlawful attacks on a person's honour and reputation as section 19(3) of same ICCPR equally makes reference to the rights and reputation of others as a legitimate ground of limitation of these rights of freedom of expression.
Reputation is the underlying basis in any claim of defamation or libel .
Most countries have domestic legislations with varying consequences relating to acts that constitute defamation and libel .
Other acts that may limit these rights are; breach of Privacy ; Harrasment(cyber bullying) and hate speech.
Not all speech is protected under international law and some form of speeches are required to be prohibited by states. For example; Article 20 of the ICCPR provides as follows;
(1) Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law .
(2) Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to descrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law .
Reference could equally be made to Article 4 of the International Convention on all forms of Racial Discrimination requires that ; the dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred as well as acts of violence or incitement to such acts against any race or group of persons of another colour or ethnicity must be declared an offence punishable by law .
Hate Speech provisions under international law is distinguished under 3 different categories which is as follows ;
(1) that which must be respected.
(2) that which may be restricted
(2) that which is lawful and subject to protection.

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.

I answered this somewhat in a previous question, so I'll take a bit of my answer from there:"Having a strong mathematical foundation helps, so brushing up on your linear algebra and statistics will be helpful. You can develop these skills by hard work through self-studying, taking courses on online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn learning. Nowadays, there are so many blogs and resources that are a quick Google search away!"I haven't worked as a Software Engineer, but ML engineers are being heavily recruited. You should look up a few of these job roles and see what the requirements are, this could help shape your priorities for what to focus on in your learning journey!
