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
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
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

How many fishers will be ready to tell you, fishing at large scale is very profitable?
How many even in your environment will consistently encourage and mentor you to gain more.
The role of an engineer, beyond his analytical sense and political ambitions is that of developing substantial growth even low scale.
As a computer engineer (that's how you ought to be addressed even by yourself: the consciousness of who you are) no one hinders you from developing programs and tools to solve issues in your community. Renewable energies utilisation could be part of it.
Have you ever thought of how in coaction with other engineers around you, you could mobilise waste resources in Buea to make it active?
What of developing plants which will assist the women along the Muea market to easily wash their fish for example?
What of extension to use streams, to generate electricity for Student hostels or automation of water plants in student hostels.
Your question shows you have interest in solving Education and Health issues?
What plans have you taken towards that? If you do consistently, the same funding agencies will come to you, then we could assess your loyalty to solve Africa's problems with your skills.
The earlier we stop the blame game, the better.
You might also want to host a session which people who share interest in your field. This particular session comes from a public demand to elucidate with persons having interest in renewable energies.

Thanks Mr. Yepmo for your question.
In response , I wish to state that Human Rights are basic rights belonging to all of us simply because we are humans . These rights embody the key values in our society such as fairness, dignity, equality and respect for each other .These rights are very important means of protection for us all, especially those who may face abuse , neglect and isolation , there it is an extreme state obligation and the international community while adopting national security approach, must take special considerations on human rights issues .
Therefore it is not your obligation or duty to ensure national security measures do not affect your rights as a human it is a state obligation along side the international community.
That is why under resolution 395 on the human rights situation in the Republic of Cameroon ,The Africa Commission in 2018 met at its 62nd ordinary session in Nouakchott, Mauritania and condemned the breach of mandatory provisions of the charter by the State of Cameroon through the use of force and provided a road map to the Cameroonian government towards the promotion of human rights in the state of Cameroon.

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I think you're asking if there are some apps that you should not use in marketing. I think snapchat is a very useful tool, especially when you are trying to reach the younger demographic, understanding that the app is made for you to share short, memorable and effective messaging that people can get in the first few seconds. If Snapchat didn't have an effective model, then the likes of Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn would not have incorporated stories. However, because there is such a huge crossover in terms of people using multiple platforms now, it's probably best to focus on the ones that will yield you the best results depending on what your objectives are.

Computer Science is within the School of Engineering and is widely considered an engineering major. It is also quite related to Electrical Engineering in regards to subject matter, and because my concentrations in both degrees were related it was a natural transition, and many of my undergraduate courses counted for credit towards my master's degree. Specifically, my undergraduate degree was concentrated in artificial intelligence (focused on visual and audio processing), and my master's degree was concentrated in signal processing (also focused on visual and audio processing).

Hi Daniel, I think for this you just need to put yourself out there. Write more, put your writing online, on Medium, LinkedIn, even Twitter. Work towards becoming a contributor on platforms that are aligned with your style of writing. Build the right connections by going to writers workshops, interacting with the right people online, etc. Also, it sounds random, but make it clear you are a writer, use your bios wisely. At the end of the day, you want people to search your name and see your writing skills.

I have no experience in quantization, so I won't be able to answer this well. However, I believe it is important that ML be as accessible as it possibly can be and am looking forward to seeing improvements within this domain.I think it's totally fine to explore as many techniques as you can since you don't know what works until you try it!
