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

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

Having a political Godfather and Godmother is not in itself a wrong approach. It is how it is done that must be looked at. A sound Godfather or Godmother would not introduce you into ignoble things. He or she would rather protect you from exploitation. Anyone who would introduce in a clause that is exploitative has no business becoming your Godfather or Godmother. So in choosing a Godfather or Godmother, be wise and be discerning. Choose to the right people

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.

I'm not sure I understand your question but I'm just going to go ahead and answer what I can interpret.
First off, all big things start small. It's all about intentionality,
If you're building a company, it has to have products or services that solve a problem.
Beyond that, you have to find a way to monetize it. There are different monetization strategies available depending on what you're building.
To get people to buy it you have to market/sell it. Alongside this, you need to hire good people and build the right systems that ensure they're able to do their best work.
Depending on the type of company you're building, you'll face a couple of challenges like regulatory pushback, infrastructural limitations and keeping the lights on.
Generally, constant experimentation along the way and focus are valuable traits to have.

The preamble of the African Charter enumerates a list of basic Human Rights norms that must be applied by every state party.
In a bid to bridge the gap between human and People's right and the protection/preservation of different cultural values in Africa , the Charter ensured the creation of the African Commission on Human and People's Rights from its Article 30 et seq.
Article 62 of the charter compels each member state to submit every 2 years a report on the legislative or other measures taken to ensure rights and freedoms recognised and guaranteed by the charter.
Hence in cases of those African countries that still maintain a strong attachment to long standing cultural practices that violate human rights, article le 61 of the charter stipulates that; once such cases are brought before the commission, considerations as subsidiary measures will be made to determine the principles of law , other general or special international conventions, laying down rules expressly recognised by member states of the Organisation of the African Unity, African practices consistent with international norms on human and People's Rights, customs generally accepted by law, general principles of law recognised by African states as well as legal precedents and doctrine .

Hello Toluwanimi. I completely agree with you. ADHD is underdiagnosed in Nigeria. The diagnosis has very specific criteria which include hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity of a certain duration. A lot of healthcare workers are unaware of the criteria. Parents may also seek help late or not at all. When the diagnosis is made, there is little consensus on what management methods work best. This lack ofuniformity of therapy makes management challenging. Coping for families involves support groups, a Multispecialist approach to care including the paediatrician , paediatric nurse, paediatric psychologist, child psychiatrist and the occupational therapist. Children with ADHD may have other issues like oppositional behavior which need to be addressed. Building capacity to diagnose and treat ADHD as well as creating public awareness will go a long way to help children with this condition

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!

Hello David, I'm glad you did. Social media marketing isn't better for one type of business, it may be easier for B2Cs because you have a physical product or service to sell, however in terms of value being created, I don't think anyone is better.

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.
