<p>One morning, I went with my mum to the … should I say fish house or fish market or fish store, but in my language, we call it “Ile Eja”. I left the house very early in the morning, in fact, on the way I was feeling dizzy because my mum woke me up very early. But, guess what? By the time we got there, the place was crowded with people. I was shocked because it was too early. I wondered when this people left their homes because, of course, some were already leaving and some were waiting for who would share a pack of fish with them. Luckily my mum was able to find a partner immediately but we still stayed for a little while before we got our goods and left. While we were there, my mum asked me to sit and then unconsciously, I just started looking around like someone that was lost, turning my head to witness every exciting activity. In the process, I noticed that for those who were sharing a pack of fish, they had to separate the fishes which were all frozen together. Now this is where I’m going. In order for them to separate the fishes, they had to lift the pack as many times as they could and hit it on the ground because the fishes were so frozen and packed together and the bond had to be weakened for them to separate them easily.</p><p><br></p><p>For lives that the devil has captured to be set free, it won’t be easy. You would be lifted and thrown to the ground (some people lose their lives in the process) just to weaken the bond between you and all those that the devil has packed and glued to you. They would have become part of you, their lifestyle, their hobby, almost everything about them and the devil does not go hunting one by one. He goes hunting with the intention to make a large catch and most times he is successful because just like fish who can’t take their lives off food which makes it easier for the fisher to catch them, most people can’t control and discipline themselves. They go for everything they set their eyes on, they want to enjoy life, they don’t want to be left out. Most people are disobedient and would not stay in the safe place and listen to advices of those who have gone through experiences just because they want to enjoy life.</p><p><br></p><p>And when they have finally been captured, they run from one church, mountain, pastor and prophet to the other just to find a solution to their problem. And then they get thrown up and down. It will surely be a painful one because even the false prophet will see it as a chance to make money.</p><p><br></p><p>Be careful with what you get yourself into. Be disciplined and follow advices or you will face the consequences of being thrown up and down just to be free.</p><p><br></p><p>God bless you.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

Engagement Score
The All-time Engagers ranking is based on a user's Engagement Score — a measure of how much a
user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
