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.
Oftentimes modern construction suffers because there are still many required processes that are paper processes (think change orders, work tickets, etc) and furthermore, compliance is a non-negotiable requirement. With even simple innovations such as digital management applications, wecan reduce the amount of time and loss due to managing the work site. Additionally, AI interventions can provide first-pass (pre-human) evaluation for things that obviously need fixing, again improving construction throughput without sacrificing quality.I personally don’t live in Africa or know enough to make an educated statement on the construction industry as a whole. However, catching up is often quite difficult without both preexisting financial capital and the minds to make it a reality, and so I think African born technology companies would make a large impact.

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.

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.

There is a good chance that you will be able to do this, you will most definitely need to start off with a Master's program then transition to a traditional PhD program. Many programs favor students with relevant degrees (Computer science, electrical/computer engineering, math, etc.) for admission into their programs since they have the necessary background to understand the basics of computer science.
Chinasa T. Okolo

My biggest advice to women starting out their careers in tech is to be confident. Often times, I feel that women are discouraged from pursuing highly technical careers because of male dominance or the lack of confidence in their ability to make it happen. One thing that I've realized is that men are not better at women inherently at programming. Removing humility for a moment, I'm probably better than the majority of men in my program at software development. This is because of the confidence that my family and mentors have instilled in me along the way that has allowed me to push through the difficult situations, including failing classes, internship/scholarship/fellowship rejections, and the general abuse that is almost unavoidable as a woman in this field, while developing my skills to a professional level.
My other big piece of advice is to understand that tech is difficult for the majority of people, and to find a community of supporters in your early days. When I first began programming academically 10 years ago, it was nothing like I had ever done before - I had a little experience with web programming and computer architecture, but let me tell you, that introductory C programming course made me cry on several occasions. I actually vowed at one point to never program again. However, I had a community of women around me in computer science and other engineering fields, and they really built me up, helping me learn the concepts in ways that made sense to me, reviewing my problem sets for bugs that I wouldn't have noticed, and giving me confidence that I probably had no business having with my skill level at the time. I wouldn't have had the balls to take some of the risks that I did without the confidence they instilled in me.;It is so important to find a community, and they do exist outside of academia. For example, baddies in tech is a community I'm part of that is provides to support, recruitment and mentorship for black women in their early tech careers.

The itching is as a result of the absence of moisture in the skin. I would recommend you use body butter (cocoa butter, mango butter. Shea butter or any body butter of your choice . For moisturizer, it should be a non-greasy moisturizer. I would also advice you see a dermatologist if the body butter does not help with the dryness or stop the itching.

Hi Peter, I think your positioning statement needs to take into account making your product seem meaningful and appealing to your niche audience. You want to focus on how the product/service appeals to them, and what makes your service/product stand out. Also think about your brands identity, values and your vision.
Toyin Jolapamo
Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc
As I suggest above, this appeal to/for an African agenda is grand romanticism, not real politik. We know from theory and from empirical studies that top-down trickle-down approaches are unlikely to solve Africa's fundamental problems of poverty, illiteracy and disease. A look at AU for instance, suggests we are too focused on being like the UN, instead of recognising our resource constraints and cutting our suit according to our cloth.
But beyond that continental body, what is the value addition of the 12-odd bodies duplicating activities across the continent? Eight of the 15 ECOWAS countries belong to UWEMOA, the only divide being that the latter are Francophone. Among SADC's 15 members, 4 belong to SACU, and 8 belong to COMESA. Some of these countries belonging to multiple organisations, paying millions in membership fees, cannot even feed their people at home!
Good governance requires prudent management of government. The richer countries of Europe have a single primary membership body, EU...and NATO if you like. So why do we allow France to sponsor UWEMOA as a means of dividing ECOWAS?
African countries are burning money they do not have in such organisations; but they also burn money internally through corruption. The bottom line is the failure of good governance on the continent.
