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🌸

Hi Ebechukwu, It was my pleasure. There's a lot that goes to creating brand ambassadors; the obvious place to start being with a good product, seamless experience and impeccable customer service. On the marketing side, here are a few things you can do:- Encouraging user generated content and tapping into your customers creativity, remember to reward them!- Nurture your relationships with your customers and offer value at every point you come in contact with them, you can think of the kind of information you share on SM, or in your e-mail marketing campaigns, etc. P.S. people also like personalised messages- Ask for feedback and take the feedback - make them feel heard and like they are an active and useful part of your brand. - Create an online community

I think this is a bit dangerous. Attempting to ascertain sentimental correlations and apply them to huge financial decisions may work in certain contexts and you could definitely train a model with 99% training accuracy on this task, but future situations that are dependent on complex human action can never be adequately represented by a numerical parameterization and a finite state machine. If the model is not large enough, we will not learn all the possible combinations of interactions. If it is too large, then we only learn the context of our training dataset. That being said, you could do both and get good results during training. Personally, I do not have extensive NLP experience or Bayesian experience in production, but their fundamentals suggest that they would learn this type of model well independently or in conjunction. Naïve Bayes is good for state estimation-based decision making, and NLP can be used to model language and extract sentiment. However, these models depend completely on the input dataset that one utilizes, and the chosen labels (if using a supervised method) that are often subjective. Using data from the internet is also dangerous because it is next to impossible to have humans annotate every piece of training data without spending a large amount of money, and learning from problematic input data can lead to problematic situations.To make this less vague, take the 2016 example where Tay, a chatbot made by Microsoft and trained on Twitter data, became extremely racist in less than a day of online training (https://twitter.com/geraldmellor/status/712880710328139776). Attempting to determine causation in a data driven sense is a slippery slope, and until AI solves the data-driven generalization problem (which I believe may be never) I wouldn't build a system like this in production until I could guarantee significant human supervision and have looked at the ethical implications on those who do not financially benefit from the proposed system.

I dare to enjoy the process along the way. Cyndy trimm said in her book (rules of engagement) that the only difference between a dollar bill and a tree is the process. See, as the challenges hit me, I know it has broken the hard nuts and opened for me new amazing opportunities. What if the was no stress, how will I be able to get the experience I now have?

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.

Thanks for your kind words and for this question Joshua.This is an area I'm passionate about and I've been opportune to coach young adults on this, talking about one's lifework and career development. Concerning being multi-passionate, you're right, all passions may not be unveiled at a time, one could lead to another. However, the principal anchor in this regard is to discover an overriding purpose that all passions hinge on. For example, I am passionate about human development, youth development and life skills. All of these passions and expressions are contained within my purpose of raising young people and moulding minds. Imagine not been clear on what to use the passions for or even my gifts and abilities, it would be like disarray, doing many things without focus and direction and eventually a case of abuse and misuse.Starting out, don't be rigid. We evolve in seasons. However, know the connection of each season/passion/expression within the grand scheme of your lifework and purpose. I would rather suggest that one owns his/her life outcomes as against external circusmstances/'fate'This resource will come in handy as well, check it out https://abrahamowoseni.com/joinlhc

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.

I think that the answer below on drones for agriculture and food security addresses many of the main advantages we can take. Using drones can reduce the manpower necessary for high throughput and can help monitor and optimize resources, which can be very beneficial for the public. However, we must look ethically at every stakeholder that would be affected by these integrations before we can truly understand the benefits.

If Africa had not been colonised, I wonder where we would be today!!! Yet, given the globalised nature of the planet, I do not even see how that issue arises: today one can talk of neutral states, but in those days, a territory either colonised or was colonised on encounter.
Technological advancement defines what is 'better off', i.e. where people want to go... and colonisation set us off towards that better-off. But that 'better-off' is a dynamic situation, and tenure among the 'best-off' - whatever the globally accepted measure, this is a game of musical chairs with tenure changing with changes in various situations. This dynamism also applies among the developing countries which belong to the lower echelons of the better-off ladder, aspiring to haul themselves up it. So colonialism was a necessary evil...
While some of our founding fathers (sic) appreciated in the evil in - averse effects of - colonialism, they were up against those leaders who did not see that evil, and the mighty, white-washing force of neo-colonialism. Africa missed an opportunity to unite in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The colonialists and ex-colonialists divided and ruled: they convinced most individual African 'nationalists' that their best interests lay in going it alone. Contemporary pleas for African unity are mere nostalgic romanticism: corporate forces are more powerful that those of political idealism. That is the greatest adversity inherited from colonialism.

Sir Toby, great to read from you. Your wonderful well coined words say more. With all honesty, as the saying goes: everyone, everything have its place in this world we live in.I personally mostly bring back my momentum by listening to motivational speakers. I will say, Entrepreneurs should be very INTENTIONAL in every action taken both for life and for business. Listening to a motivational speaker doesn't help you solve the hard problems before you. They MOTIVATE you to hold on, think harder, ask if need be and keep pushing upward. Entrepreneurs, don't allow everyone be your cup of tea. As you pipe up or down you client search, so should you pipe down the motivations you listen to daily.
