"Everyone talks about shares and bonds, but I honestly don't know the difference..."
 
You're not alone! Most young Rwandans hear these terms but feel lost:
 
So, let’s break it down!
 
SHARES = OWNERSHIP
✅ You buy a piece of the company.
✅ Company does well → You win (dividends + price goes up).
✅ Company struggles → You lose (price goes down).
✅ Higher risk = Higher potential reward.
 
📌Example: You buy 100 Bank of Kigali shares, and you own part of the bank!
 
BONDS = LENDING
✅ You lend money to government/company.
✅ They promise to pay you back + interest.
✅ Safer than shares (guaranteed payments).
✅ Lower risk = Lower returns.
 
📌 Example: Lend the government RWF 100K, and get back RWF 115K in 3 years.
 
Quick Decision Guide:
- Want steady, safe returns? → BONDS
- Want higher growth potential? → SHARES
- First time investing? → Start with BONDS
 
Think of it like this:
Shares = Buying a house (own it, value can go up/down).
Bonds = Lending money to a friend (they pay you back with interest).

Dine, Sip & Paint in Kigali: Guided Painting & Fine Dining Experience at Hi-Pima.

What if discarded materials could transform into beautiful, functional products?
 
That's not a hypothetical. Because at Hi-Pima, it's our reality.
 
Swipe to see three products that tell our Zero Waste story →
 
Slide 1: Recycled Bags
 
Made from recycled materials like PET plastic, cotton, paper, and jute.
 
These eco-friendly, durable, and washable bags were once destined for landfills.
 
But now, they're carried by consumers across Kigali.
 
Our partner artisans take what hotels typically discard and transform them into products.
 
Slide 2: Icyangwe Cups.
 
These traditional cups blend centuries-old craftsmanship with modern functionality.
 
Perfect for holding pens, toothbrushes, or small household items.
 
Every Icyangwe cup supports local artisans preserving traditional Rwandan techniques while adapting them for modern life.
 
Slide 3: Correctbook Agenda.
 
Write, erase, repeat.
 
It's a planner designed for people who refuse to choose between productivity and environmental responsibility.
 
This is the Hi-Pima Zero Waste Shop difference.
 
We don't just talk about sustainability, we create a circular economy where:
<ul>
 <li>Hotel waste becomes artisan income.</li>
 <li>Traditional craftsmanship meets modern innovation.</li>
 <li>Every purchase supports local SMEs.</li>
 <li>Consumers find products that align with their values.</li>
</ul>
The impact goes beyond the products:
 
&nbsp;✅ Waste diverted from landfills. 
 ✅ Income generated for Rwandan artisans. 
 ✅ Traditional craftsmanship preserved. 
 ✅ Eco-friendly alternatives made accessible. 
 ✅ Community empowered through economic opportunity.
 
When you visit Hi-Pima's Zero Waste Shop, you're investing in a vision where nothing goes to waste, and everyone benefits.

From Hotel Waste to Home Essentials: The Story Behind Hi-Pima's Eco-friendly Zero Waste Shop.

Picture this: You're sitting at a table in<a href="https://www.instagram.com/hi.pima/"> Hi-Pima</a>, a paintbrush in one hand, a glass of something delicious in the other.
 
In front of you, a canvas is slowly transforming into something you never thought you could create.
 
The smell of Chef Olivier's pumpkin velouté swimming under your nose from the kitchen.
 
Your friend next to you is laughing because they "definitely didn't mean to paint the sky purple," but honestly? It looks amazing.
 
This is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DQWgZYbDChm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Dine, Sip &amp; Paint</a>.
 
And it's about to become your new favorite thing to do in Kigali.
 
<h2>So What's Actually On The Menu?</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Think about it; when someone says "paint night," you might picture crackers, cheap wine, and an intimidating blank canvas staring you down.
 
Well, we switched it up.
 
Instead, we asked ourselves: What if you could enjoy a meal while creating art in the most relaxed, judgment-free zone imaginable?
 
So, we called Chef Olivier Letche and he said yes!
 
<h3>What Kind of Food Will Be Served?</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Chef Olivier prepared a 3 course meal.
 
Starting with a pumpkin velouté with creamy coconut milk, delicate leek espuma, and spiced sorghum.
<ul>
 <li>It's the kind of soup that makes you close your eyes for a second and forget where you are.</li>
</ul>
Then comes the main course: tender goat confit in Musanze coffee. Yes, coffee.
<ul>
 <li>It creates this deep, rich flavor you didn't know you needed.</li>
 <li>Paired with green pepper sauce and vanilla sweet potato purée.</li>
</ul>
You then finish with Congolese chocolate fondant meets tree tomato espuma, and caramelized peanut shards.
<ul>
 <li>It's the kind of dessert that makes you want to lick the plate. And honestly, we won't judge.</li>
</ul>
Between courses, you're painting, sipping, and laughing.
 
<h2>"But I Can't Paint!"</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Yeah, we've heard that before. About 17 times per event, actually.
 
But, remember, you're not training for an art gallery opening.
 
You're spending an evening doing something fun that doesn't involve staring at your phone for 3 hours.
 
We have instructors available to walk you through every single step.
 
And by the end of the night, you'll have created something you're genuinely proud to hang on your wall.
 
<h2>Who Actually Shows Up At These Hi-Pima Dine, Sip &amp; Paint Events?</h2>

But, she left with three new friends and plans for brunch.
 
2. The entire marketing team from a tech company came for team building.
 
And after, their boss said it was the first time they'd seen everyone genuinely relaxed and collaborative outside the office.
 
3. The group of five friends who "just wanted to try something different on a Thursday" now come to every single <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQY2dAYDOyj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">Dine, Sip and Paint event</a>.

Dine, Sip & Paint: Kigali's Most Creative Night Out.

Our guests came curious. Some were nervous, and most convinced they couldn't paint. But after last Saturday…
 
The Edition 2 of Dine, Sip &amp; Paint had one aim:
 
To bring people together and network in a tension-free environment.
 
And what better way than to combine cocktails, fine dining and a bonding activity?
 
After our art guide put our guests through, their brushes started moving.
 
And even they were amazed at what they created.
 
And when Chef Olivier's dishes arrived, it provided a lovely, intimate setting that our guests craved.
 
And our aim with this event came to fruition: strangers becoming friends over shared masterpieces.
 
By the end of the night, every single person left with art they're proud of and memories they'll talk about for weeks.
 
Edition 2 was everything. Thank you for showing up and making it unforgettable.
 
Edition 3 is coming.

Dine, Sip & Paint Recap at Hi-Pima.

We were honored to host the official African launch of "The Survival Pressure" by prolific author and coach Akomolede Oladapo Amos at Hi-Pima Boutique Hotel this past Friday. 
 
The evening brought together: 
✅ Thought leaders. 
✅ Entrepreneurs. 
✅And brilliant minds having inspiring conversations about turning pressure into growth. 
 
As Mr. Amos celebrated his 7th published work, his message resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. 
 
That message was: The challenges we face are not meant to break us, but to build us. 
 
Hi-Pima was the perfect backdrop for this milestone moment. 
 
A space where ideas flow as freely as our signature beverages, and where meaningful connections are forged. 
 
The engaging panel discussions and intimate book signings reminded us why we do what we do: creating spaces where inspiration meets hospitality.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this remarkable evening. 
 
Here's to more conversations that matter, more stories that inspire, and more moments that transform.

Official Book Launch of Akomolede Oladapo Amos: "The Survival Pressure".

Your competitor just hired the software developer you were "still considering."
 
And so, you’ve missed that &nbsp;talent.
 
In East Africa's competitive talent market, speed is the difference between building your dream team and watching them join someone else’s.
 
But with this article, Great Talent Today will show that you can cut your time-to-hire in half starting this Monday.
 
<h2>Why Slow Hiring Costs You More Than You Think.</h2>
 
The Hidden Costs of Slow Hiring
<ul>
 <li>Lost Productivity: Every week a role sits empty = lost revenue and overworked teams.</li>
 <li>Top Talent Disappears: Best candidates receive multiple offers within 7-10 days.</li>
 <li>Team Burnout: Existing employees cover gaps, leading to decreased morale.</li>
 <li>Competitive Disadvantage: Competitors with faster processes win the talent war.</li>
</ul>
📌 Companies with time-to-hire over 30 days lose 40% of quality candidates to faster-moving competitors.
 
<h3>THE SOLUTION: The 48-Hour Hiring Framework.</h3>
 
The 48-Hour Hiring Challenge is about eliminating waste.
 
Here's how to transform your recruitment process starting Monday morning.
 
<h4>MONDAY: Preparation Phase (4 hours).</h4>
<h4> </h4>
1. Plan Your Requirements (60 minutes).
<ul>
 <li>Define 3-5 must-have skills.</li>
 <li>Identify 2-3 deal-breaker questions.</li>
 <li>Create &nbsp;scoring rubric: 1-5 scale for each requirement.</li>
</ul>
​​Framework: "<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Must-Have+vs.+Nice-to-Have+Matrix&amp;sca_esv=3d3edac27adaa913&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enNG967NG967&amp;biw=1440&amp;bih=783&amp;sxsrf=AE3TifPdbRiK_GVSFaMD_OQpyrtzLmg8AA%3A1763464094962&amp;ei=nlMcaa_BOsv7i-gPsOTvWA&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiviNHXx_uQAxXL_QIHHTDyGwsQ4dUDCBE&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=Must-Have+vs.+Nice-to-Have+Matrix&amp;gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiIU11c3QtSGF2ZSB2cy4gTmljZS10by1IYXZlIE1hdHJpeDIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUiwcFCvClivCnADeACQAQCYAbkCoAGNBKoBBTItMS4xuAEDyAEA-AEC-AEBmAIEoALmAsICChAAGLADGNYEGEfCAgcQIxiwAxgnmAMAiAYBkAYJkgcFMy4zLTGgB6QKsgcDMy0xuAfHAsIHBTItMi4yyAcc&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp">Must-Have vs. Nice-to-Have Matrix</a>".
 
2. Prepare Interview Team (60 minutes).
<ul>
 <li>Assign specific tasks to each interviewer.</li>
 <li>Share candidate profiles 24 hours before interviews.</li>
 <li>Establish decision-making protocol: Who has final say?</li>
</ul>
Framework: "<a href="https://www.eloquens.com/tool/A1K5Uvx7/leadership-hr-human-resources-tips-and-methods/task-management-best-practices/raci-matrix-for-recruitment-process">RACI Matrix for Hiring Decisions</a>".
 
3. Build Your Rapid Response System (120 minutes).
<ul>
 <li>Pre-write email templates (screening, interview invite, offer, rejection).</li>
 <li>Set up calendar reminders for same-week interviews.</li>
 <li>Prepare an offer letter template with compensation ranges.</li>
 <li>Create approval fast-track with leadership.</li>
</ul>

<h4>TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY: Execution Phase.</h4>
<h4> </h4>
4. Structured Speed Interviewing (varies by role).
<ul>
 <li>First-round phone screen: 20 minutes maximum.</li>
 <li>Use behavioral questions with scoring rubric.</li>
 <li>Schedule final interviews within 24 hours.</li>
</ul>
Framework: "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqFZZGiI0TA&amp;t=112s">STAR Method Rapid Assessment</a>".
 
5. Panel Interview Efficiency (90 minutes).
<ul>
 <li>30 minutes: Technical/skills assessment.</li>
 <li>30 minutes: Cultural fit and team dynamics.</li>
 <li>30 minutes: Candidate questions and logistics.</li>
 <li>Decision meeting immediately after: 30 minutes maximum.</li>
</ul>
Framework: "<a href="https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/interviewing/structured-interviews">Structured Panel Interview Guide</a>".
 
6. Same-Day Offer Protocol
<ul>
 <li>Verbal offer within 4 hours of final interview.</li>
 <li>Written offer sent the same business day.</li>
 <li>48-hour acceptance timeline (not 1 week).</li>
</ul>
Framework: "<a href="https://resources.workable.com/tutorial/successful-job-offer-strategy-guide">The Compelling Offer Formula</a>".
 
<h3>What Changes When You Move Fast.</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Acceptance Rate Increase: Candidates feel valued when decisions are quick.</li>
 <li>Quality Improvement: Top performers appreciate efficient processes.</li>
 <li>Team Morale Boost: Faster fills mean less burden on existing staff.</li>
 <li>Cost Reduction: Shorter time-to-hire = lower cost-per-hire.</li>
</ul>
<h3>COMMON OBJECTIONS ADDRESSED.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
1. "But we need to be thorough!"
<ul>
 <li>Structured interviews reveal more in 90 minutes than unstructured ones in 3 hours.</li>
 <li>Speed doesn't mean skipping steps, it means eliminating redundancy.</li>
</ul>
2. "Our approval process takes weeks!"
<ul>
 <li>Pre-approved salary ranges and hiring authority solve this.</li>
 <li>Build business case for delegation: cost of vacancy vs. speed.</li>
</ul>
3. "What about reference checks?"
<ul>
 <li>Conduct simultaneously with final interview scheduling, not after.</li>
 <li>Use a structured reference check form for 15-minute calls.</li>
</ul>
<h3>GETTING STARTED: Your Monday Action Plan.</h3>
 
Before 10 AM:
<ul>
 <li>Audit current time-to-hire for the last 5 positions.</li>
 <li>Identify the biggest tasks (usually: approvals or scheduling).</li>
</ul>
Before Noon:
<ul>
 <li>Download/create interview templates and scoring rubrics.</li>
 <li>Meet with hiring managers to align on must-haves.</li>
</ul>
Before End of Day:
<ul>
 <li>Set calendar reminders for interviews this week</li>
 <li>Pre-approve salary ranges for open positions.</li>
 <li>Communicate new processes to the interview panel.</li>
</ul>

The 48-Hour Hiring Challenge: Reduce Your Time-to-Hire Starting Monday.

The first time I tried explaining "fire-roasted hot sauce" to an international client, they thought I meant literally setting the bottle on fire.
 
Lol.
 
What they didn't understand is that fire-roasting transforms ordinary peppers into something entirely different.
 
The char and depth become different flavors.
 
That's exactly what Chika Chika does.
 
Five varieties. Five distinct personalities. Each one fire-roasted to bring out flavors you can't get any other way:
 
1️⃣ Mint Chili: The cool heat paradox that shouldn't work but does.
2️⃣ Scotch Bonnet: The classic Caribbean heat.
3️⃣ Tamarind Chili: Sweet and spicy.
4️⃣ Xtra Hot: For the ones who love the heat.
5️⃣ Garlicky Twist: Spicy and unforgettable.
 
Available now at Hi-Pima's Boutique; where every purchase supports local producers.
Which spicy bottle speaks to you?

Maria winced as she climbed the stairs to her Gishushu apartment.
 
Another morning, another reminder that her knees weren't what they used to be.
 
At 42, she'd accepted the dull ache as part of life; something that came with age, stress, and Kigali's hilly roads.
 
Her neighbor, Grace, noticed. "Still hurting?"
 
Maria nodded, too tired to complain again.
 
Grace disappeared into her kitchen and returned with a small glass jar filled with golden-orange powder.
 
"Try this for two weeks. One teaspoon in warm milk every morning. Add a pinch of black pepper and honey."
 
"What is it?"
 
"Turmeric. But not the old stuff from the supermarket. This is from a farm in Musanze. I get it from Hi-Pima."
 
Grace pressed the jar into Maria's hands. "Just try it."
 
Maria was skeptical.
 
She'd tried everything; painkillers, stretching, rest &nbsp;and more.
 
Why would a spice make any difference?
 
Three weeks later, Maria bought her own jar.
 
Because the pain had reduced, her energy had returned and she was able to climb those stairs without thinking about her knees for the first time in months.
 
<h2>Why Rwandan Turmeric Is Different: The Volcanic Advantage.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) grows in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, but not all turmeric is created equal.
 
The difference lies in the soil.
 
Rwanda sits along the Albertine Rift, surrounded by volcanic mountains that have spent thousands of years enriching the earth with minerals.
 
When volcanic rock breaks down, it releases:
<ul>
 <li>Potassium for strong plant growth</li>
 <li>Phosphorus for root development</li>
 <li>Magnesium for chlorophyll production</li>
 <li>Calcium for cell wall strength</li>
 <li>Iron, zinc, and trace minerals that concentrate in the turmeric rhizome</li>
</ul>
Independent lab tests show that turmeric grown in Rwanda's volcanic highlands contains 15-25% higher curcumin content than turmeric grown in conventional soils.
 
Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its health benefits and Rwandan soil produces more of it naturally.
 
<h3>Fresh vs. Stale: The Shocking Truth About Supermarket Turmeric.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Here's what most people don't know about the turmeric sitting on supermarket shelves:
Most imported turmeric is 12-18 months old by the time you buy it.
 
It was harvested, shipped for weeks, stored in warehouses, distributed to retailers, and sat under fluorescent lights losing potency.
 
Oxidation: Curcumin degrades when exposed to light, heat, and air.
 
Every day that turmeric sits in clear plastic containers under store lights, it loses effectiveness.
 
Freshness indicators:
<ul>
 <li>Fresh turmeric: Vibrant yellow-orange, strong earthy aroma, slightly sticky when rubbed between fingers</li>
 <li>Stale turmeric: Dull brown-orange, weak smell, dusty and dry</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/hi-pima-boutique-hotel/?viewAsMember=true">Hi-Pima's</a> turmeric powder moves from farm to boutique in 3-7 days.
 
It's ground in small batches, stored in dark conditions, and packaged in light-protective containers.
 
This is the difference between medicine and dust.

<h3> </h3>
Turmeric contains over 100 chemical compounds, but curcumin is the star.
 
This bright yellow compound has been studied in over 3,000 scientific publications for its effects on:
<ul>
 <li>Inflammation</li>
 <li>Oxidative stress</li>
 <li>Brain function</li>
 <li>Heart health</li>
 <li>Digestive disorders</li>
 <li>Skin conditions</li>
 <li>Joint pain</li>
 <li>Mood regulation</li>
</ul>
But the thing is, curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body.
That's why how you consume turmeric matters as much as the quality you buy.
 
<h2>How Turmeric Helps Fight Some Diseases (Study Backed).</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every modern health condition:
<ul>
 <li>Arthritis and joint pain</li>
 <li>Heart disease</li>
 <li>Diabetes</li>
 <li>Autoimmune conditions</li>
 <li>Digestive disorders</li>
 <li>Depression and anxiety</li>
 <li>Alzheimer's disease</li>
</ul>
Unlike pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs that work on a single pathway, curcumin works on multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously.
<ol>
 <li>Brain Health (Alzheimer's).</li>
</ol>
Curcumin crosses the blood-brain barrier: a rare ability for natural compounds.
Once there, it:
<ol>
 <li>Increases BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor): This protein helps grow new brain cells and strengthens existing neural connections. Low BDNF is linked to depression and Alzheimer's disease.</li>
 <li>Reduces brain inflammation: Inflammation in the brain contributes to cognitive decline. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects protect brain tissue.</li>
 <li>Clears amyloid plaques: The protein tangles associated with Alzheimer's may be reduced by curcumin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to amyloid beta.</li>
</ol>
This is why turmeric is a staple in Indian cuisine and why India has some of the lowest Alzheimer's rates in the world.
 
<h3>2. Digestive Health.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Traditional Rwandan and East African medicine has used turmeric for digestive issues for generations.
 
Science now confirms why:
<ol>
 <li>It stimulates bile production: Bile breaks down fats. More bile means better fat digestion and less bloating.</li>
 <li>Reduces gut inflammation: Inflammatory bowel conditions like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis show improvement with curcumin supplementation.</li>
 <li>Supports healthy gut bacteria: Curcumin has prebiotic effects, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your intestines.</li>
 <li>Protects the gut lining: Curcumin strengthens the intestinal barrier, reducing "leaky gut" syndrome.</li>
</ol>
That morning turmeric drink is actively supporting your entire digestive system.
 
<h3>3. Joint Health.</h3>
If you play football on weekends, or simply deal with age-related joint wear, turmeric offers real relief.
<ol>
 <li>Reduces joint inflammation: Studies on osteoarthritis patients show curcumin reduces pain and improves mobility as effectively as some NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).</li>
 <li>Supports cartilage health: Curcumin may slow cartilage breakdown while supporting repair processes.</li>
 <li>Speeds recovery: Athletes using turmeric report faster recovery from intense training and reduced muscle soreness.</li>
</ol>
Maria wasn't imagining the improvement in her knees, the science backs up what she felt.
 
<h2>The Turmeric (Curcumin) Absorption Problem (And How to Solve It).</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Curcumin is poorly absorbed by the human body.
 
You can consume turmeric all day and absorb very little of the beneficial compounds.
Why?
<ul>
 <li>It's not water-soluble (doesn't dissolve in your digestive juices)</li>
 <li>It's rapidly metabolized and eliminated</li>
 <li>It doesn't easily cross the intestinal wall</li>
</ul>
This is why some people try turmeric and claim "it doesn't work."
 
They're consuming it wrong!
<ol>
 <li>The Black Pepper Solution: 2000% Better Absorption. 
</li>
</ol>
Black pepper contains piperine, a compound that inhibits the enzymes that break down curcumin in your gut and liver.
 
Adding just a pinch of black pepper to turmeric increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
 
This is the difference between turmeric working or not working at all.
 
📌 Always combine turmeric with black pepper. Always.
<ol>
 <li>The Fat Factor: Why You Need Oil</li>
</ol>
Curcumin is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves in fat, not water.
 
Consuming turmeric with healthy fats dramatically improves absorption.
 
Best fats to pair with turmeric:
<ul>
 <li>Coconut oil or coconut milk</li>
 <li>Olive oil</li>
 <li>Avocado or avocado oil</li>
 <li>Nuts and seeds</li>
 <li>Full-fat dairy or plant milk</li>
</ul>
This is why traditional golden milk recipes use full-fat milk or coconut milk; not water.
<ol>
 <li>Heat Activation: Why Cooking Helps</li>
</ol>
Gentle heating of turmeric makes curcumin more bioavailable by:
<ul>
 <li>Breaking down the plant's cell walls</li>
 <li>Releasing more curcumin into the surrounding liquid</li>
 <li>Making the compound more soluble</li>
</ul>
This is why adding turmeric to soups, stews, and warm drinks is so effective.
 
You're not just adding flavor, you're activating the medicine.
 
<h2>Storage: Keeping Your Turmeric Fresh and Potent.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>The Three Enemies of Turmeric:</h3>
<h3> </h3>
1. Light: UV rays break down curcumin rapidly. That's why Hi-Pima packages turmeric in opaque containers, not clear plastic.
2. Heat: High temperatures accelerate degradation. Store turmeric in a cool place, never above the stove.
3. Air/Moisture: Oxygen oxidizes curcumin. Moisture causes clumping and mold. Always keep containers sealed tight.
 
<h3>Proper Turmeric Storage Technique.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Best practices:
<ul>
 <li>Transfer to airtight glass container immediately after purchase</li>
 <li>Store in a cool, dark cupboard or drawer</li>
 <li>Keep away from the stove, oven, or sunny windowsills</li>
 <li>Don't use wet spoons</li>
 <li>Seal container immediately after each use</li>
</ul>
Shelf life:
<ul>
 <li>Peak potency: 0-6 months</li>
 <li>Good quality: 6-12 months</li>
 <li>Declining quality: 12-24 months</li>
</ul>
Turmeric freshness test: Open your jar and smell. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.
 
If it smells weak or like nothing, it's lost potency. Time to refill at Hi-Pima.
 
<h2>Dosage: How Much Turmeric Should You Use?</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>For General Health and Prevention.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Daily recommended: 1-3 teaspoons of turmeric powder (providing approximately 500-2000mg of curcumin).
 
Practical application:
<ul>
 <li>1 tsp in cooking throughout the day</li>
 <li>1 tsp in evening tea or soup</li>
</ul>
This provides consistent anti-inflammatory support without overdoing it.
 
<h3>For Specific Conditions</h3>
Joint pain/arthritis: 2-3 tsp daily, split between meals 
Digestive support: 1-2 tsp daily with meals 
Skin conditions: 1-2 tsp internally + topical application 
General wellness: 1 tsp daily
 
📌 Start small (1/4 tsp daily) and increase gradually. Your digestive system needs time to adapt.
 
<h3>Can You Have Too Much?</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Turmeric from food sources is very safe, but excessive amounts (5+ teaspoons daily for extended periods) may cause:
<ul>
 <li>Digestive upset</li>
 <li>Nausea</li>
 <li>Diarrhea</li>
 <li>Increased risk of kidney stones (in susceptible individuals)</li>
</ul>
The sweet spot is: 1-3 teaspoons daily is safe, effective, and sustainable long-term.
 
<h3>Special Considerations.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Pregnant/breastfeeding: Culinary amounts are safe. Avoid therapeutic doses without consulting your healthcare provider.
 
Before surgery: Stop turmeric 2 weeks before surgery (it can thin blood slightly).
 
On blood thinners: Consult your doctor (turmeric has mild blood-thinning effects).
 
Gallbladder issues: Turmeric stimulates bile production. Avoid it if you have gallstones.
 
For most people, adding organic turmeric to daily cooking is completely safe and beneficial.
 
<h2>Why Organic Turmeric Matters: The Hidden Cost of Imported Turmeric.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>The Pesticide Problem</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Conventional turmeric farming uses pesticides to control pests and fungal diseases.
 
These chemicals:
<ul>
 <li>Remain as residues on the final product</li>
 <li>Accumulate in your body over time</li>
 <li>Disrupt hormone function</li>
 <li>May contribute to long-term health issues</li>
</ul>
You're consuming turmeric for health benefits while simultaneously ingesting toxins that undermine those same benefits.
 
<h3>The Soil Degradation Cycle.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Chemical fertilizers provide quick growth but:
<ul>
 <li>Deplete soil of minerals over time</li>
 <li>Kill beneficial soil organisms</li>
 <li>Reduce the plant's ability to absorb trace minerals</li>
 <li>Result in turmeric with lower curcumin content</li>
</ul>
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/hi.pima/">Hi-Pima's</a> organic turmeric comes from soil that's getting richer each year.
 
That means higher mineral content and more potent curcumin.

<h2>FAQs: Your Turmeric Questions Answered.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Q: How is this different from turmeric at the supermarket?
(1) Freshness: Hi-Pima's turmeric is 3-7 days from farm vs. 12-18 months for imports.
(2) No pesticide residues.
(3) Volcanic soil: higher curcumin content from mineral-rich growing conditions.
 
Q: Will turmeric stain my teeth yellow?
A: Temporary surface staining can occur, similar to coffee or tea. But it washes away with normal brushing.
To prevent &nbsp;this however,, drink through a straw or rinse your mouth with water afterward.
 
Q: Can I give turmeric to my children?
A: Yes, in culinary amounts.
Adding turmeric to food is safe for children, supports their immune systems and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
Start with small amounts (1/4 tsp) in foods they already enjoy.
 
Q: I tried turmeric before and felt nothing. Why?
A: Most likely an absorption issue.
Were you consuming it with black pepper and fat? Were you using fresh, high-quality turmeric?
Try Hi-Pima's organic turmeric for two weeks. The difference will be obvious.
 
Q: Does cooking destroy turmeric's benefits?
A: Gentle heating actually improves bioavailability.
Avoid high heat for extended periods (frying for 30+ minutes), but normal cooking is fine.
Adding turmeric to soups, stews, and rice preserves and enhances its benefits.
 
Q: How do I know if my turmeric is still fresh?
A: Smell test. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.
Weak smell = degraded curcumin.
Also check color: vibrant yellow-orange is fresh, dull brown means it's old.
 
Q: Can I take turmeric if I'm on medication?
A: Turmeric can interact with blood thinners, diabetes medications, and medications that reduce stomach acid.
Culinary amounts are generally safe, but consult your healthcare provider if you're on medication and plan to use therapeutic doses.
 
Q: What's better; fresh turmeric root or powder?
A: Both have benefits. Fresh root is less processed but harder to find and store
Quality organic powder (like Hi-Pima's) is more convenient. It has a longer shelf life, and when it’s fresh, it maintains full potency.
For daily use, powder wins.

The Ultimate Guide to Organic Rwandan Turmeric: The Science Behind it, Health Benefits & Where to Buy.

Expanding into East Africa presents incredible opportunities, but many foreign investors struggle with one critical challenge: building the right team.
 
The talent landscape in Rwanda and East Africa differs significantly from Western markets, and hiring mistakes can derail even the most promising ventures.
 
Here are five common hiring mistakes foreign investors make and proven strategies to avoid them.
 
<h2>1. Relying on International Recruitment Methods.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Many investors apply the same recruitment approaches they use in their home markets, expecting similar results.
 
This often leads to mismatched hires and extended vacancy periods.
 
The Problem: International job boards and recruitment tactics don't effectively reach East Africa's top talent.
 
The best candidates often come through university partnerships and local networks that foreign investors don't have access to.
 
The Solution: Partner with local talent acquisition experts - like <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/great-talent-today/posts/">Great Talent Today</a> - who maintain relationships with top-performing institutions known for producing industry-ready graduates.
 
Data-driven recruitment backed by local market intelligence ensures you're sourcing from the right talent pools with strategic reasoning behind each hire.
 
<h2>2. Underestimating the Importance of Cultural Fit.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Investors often prioritize technical skills while overlooking cultural alignment, leading to high turnover and team friction.
 
The Problem: An employee with impressive credentials but poor cultural fit can disrupt team dynamics and damage your employer brand in the local market.
 
The Solution: Implement comprehensive assessment processes that evaluate both technical skills and cultural alignment.
 
New hires thrive in your organizational culture with proper training, and effective onboarding programs.
 
<h2>3. Making Hiring Decisions Without Local Market Data.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Foreign investors frequently make recruitment decisions based on intuition or international salary statistics rather than local market intelligence.
 
The Problem: Without understanding local salary standards, skill availability, and competitive talent dynamics, you risk either overpaying significantly or losing top candidates to competitors who understand the market better.
 
The Solution: Leverage HR data analytics that provide market-driven insights specific to Rwanda and East Africa.
 
Track critical metrics like time-to-hire, talent availability, and competitive compensation ranges.
 
This transforms hiring from just intuition into informed decision-making.
 
<h2>4. Neglecting Leadership Development from Day One.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Many investors focus exclusively on filling positions without planning for leadership continuity and team growth.
 
The Problem: As your East African operations expand, leadership gaps emerge.
 
External leadership recruitment in the region is expensive and time-consuming, creating operational vulnerabilities.
 
The Solution: Implement leadership development programs from the start.
 
Identify high-potential talent early and provide training that enhances emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and team management.
 
<a href="https://www.wazoplus.com/article/building-leadership-from-within-the-internal-talent-advantage-fe4fb96a">Building leaders from within</a> strengthens your culture while reducing long-term recruitment costs.
 
<h2>5. Skipping Strategic Workforce Planning.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Investors often hire reactively; filling immediate needs without considering future growth requirements or succession planning.
 
The Problem: Reactive hiring creates organizational instability.
 
You're constantly recruiting, training, and backfilling positions instead of building a sustainable talent pipeline that supports your growth trajectory.
 
The Solution: Develop strategic workforce planning that aligns resource management with your business goals.
 
Use balanced scorecard approaches and resource capacity planning to anticipate hiring needs, identify critical roles, and build talent pipelines before gaps emerge.

5 Hiring Mistakes Foreign Investors Make in East Africa (And How to Avoid Them).

The competition for top graduate talent in East Africa is intensifying.
 
By the time most companies start recruiting, the best candidates have already accepted offers elsewhere.
 
The businesses that consistently secure high-potential graduates aren't just faster—they're smarter about where they look and what they look for.
 
Here's how to identify exceptional talent before your competitors even know these candidates exist.
 
<h2>Start at the Source: Build University Partnerships.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Top-performing institutions across Rwanda and East Africa produce industry-ready graduates every year.
 
Companies with direct relationships to these universities gain early access to emerging talent through:
<ul>
 <li>Guest lectures and industry presentations that showcase your company</li>
 <li>Internship programs that serve as extended interviews</li>
 <li>Sponsored projects that let you evaluate problem-solving skills in real-time</li>
 <li>Career mentorship initiatives that build relationships before graduation</li>
</ul>
By the time competitors post job openings, you've already identified and engaged the strongest candidates.
 
<h2>Look Beyond Academic Performance.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
High grades indicate discipline and capability, but they don't guarantee business impact.
 
High-potential graduates demonstrate qualities that transcend test scores:
<ol>
 <li>Problem-solving mindset: They approach challenges with curiosity rather than waiting for instructions.</li>
 <li>Adaptability: Look for candidates who've successfully shifted between different roles, projects, or learning environments.</li>
 <li>Collaborative intelligence: Exceptional graduates build on others' ideas rather than competing with teammates.</li>
 <li>Growth orientation: Ask about skills they've developed outside formal curriculum or how they've pursued knowledge independently.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Create a Compelling Graduate Value Proposition.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
High-potential graduates have options.
 
They choose companies that offer more than competitive salaries.
 
What attracts exceptional talent:
<ul>
 <li>Clear leadership development pathways</li>
 <li>Mentorship from experienced professionals</li>
 <li>Challenging projects with real business impact</li>
 <li>Professional growth opportunities and continuous learning</li>
 <li>Company culture that values innovation and collaboration</li>
</ul>

How to Spot High-Potential Graduates Before Your Competitors Do.

Rwanda has become one of Africa's most attractive investment destinations, pulling in billions across tech, finance, manufacturing, and services.
 
The business climate is favorable, infrastructure is improving rapidly, and the growth potential is undeniable.
 
But here's what many investors discover too late: your success in Rwanda depends less on market opportunity and more on whether you can build the right team quickly.
 
Without understanding the local talent landscape, you risk costly hiring mistakes, extended vacancy periods, and team instability.
 
This guide gives you the insider intelligence you need to make smart hiring decisions from day one.
 
<h2>Understanding Rwanda's Education System and Top Talent Institutions.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Let's start with the most important question: where does Rwanda's professional talent come from?
 
Rwanda has invested heavily in education aligned with Vision 2050, emphasizing STEM fields and practical skills that businesses actually need.
 
The result is a growing pipeline of industry-ready graduates who can contribute from day one.
 
<h4><a href="https://www.wazoplus.com/article/how-to-spot-high-potential-graduates-before-your-competitors-do-771b1f2b">Where to Find Rwanda's Top Talent.</a></h4>
<h4> </h4>
<h2>Salary Benchmarks: What Competitive Compensation Actually Looks Like.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
One of the biggest mistakes foreign investors make is applying international salary expectations to the Rwandan market.
 
You'll either overpay significantly or lose top candidates to competitors who understand local dynamics better.
<ol>
 <li>Entry-Level Professionals (0-2 Years)</li>
</ol>
Fresh graduates command entry-level salaries significantly lower than Western markets but competitive within East Africa.
 
Technical roles command a premium over administrative positions.
 
2. Mid-Level Professionals (3-7 Years) 

Specialized skills cost more.
 
A talented software developer with five years of experience costs considerably more than a general operations manager with the same tenure.
 
Bilingual professionals (English, French, Kinyarwanda) command higher compensation.
 
3. Senior Leadership &amp; C-Suite 

Costs vary widely based on industry and scope.
 
The difference between hiring locally versus recruiting internationally can be substantial.
 
<h3>Industry Variations That Matter.</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Tech sector: Premium salaries due to high demand and limited supply</li>
 <li>Finance and banking: Competitive salaries aligned with regional standards</li>
 <li>Manufacturing and operations: More affordable skilled labor access</li>
</ul>
<h3>Rwandan Salary Expecations.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Rwandan professionals expect:
<ul>
 <li>Health insurance</li>
 <li>Transport allowances</li>
 <li>Performance bonuses</li>
 <li>Housing support (senior hires)</li>
 <li>Professional development opportunities</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Reality About Market Data.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Salary data from even six months ago may no longer reflect current realities, especially in high-demand fields like technology.
 
You need real-time market intelligence through HR data analytics, not outdated surveys.
 
And <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/great-talent-today/posts/">Great Talent Today</a> can assist you with this.
 
<h3>What You Need to Know About Rwandan Workplace Culture.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Rwandan workplace culture emphasizes respect for hierarchy while valuing collaboration.
 
Communication tends to be more indirect than Western styles, with relationship-building as important as results.
 
Rwandan professionals demonstrate strong work ethic and dedication once trust is established.
 
They value collective success over individual recognition and respond well to mentorship.
 
<h3>Management Approaches That Work.</h3>
<ol>
 <li>Respectful leadership: Balance authority with approachability. Maintain standards while creating environments where people feel comfortable raising concerns.</li>
 <li>Clear expectations with support: Rwandan team members want to understand what success looks like and appreciate leaders who invest time in helping them achieve it.</li>
 <li>Collective recognition: Celebrate wins together while providing individual feedback privately. Avoid singling out individuals in ways that create team friction.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Language Dynamics.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
While English proficiency is growing rapidly among younger professionals, Kinyarwanda remains the national language.
 
French is also widely spoken.
 
Multilingual team members become invaluable for regional expansion across East Africa.
 
<h3>Gender Diversity Advantage.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Rwanda leads Africa in gender equality with strong female representation and progressive policies supporting women in leadership.
 
Building diverse teams expands your talent pool significantly.
 
<h3>Getting Cultural Fit Right.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
The investors who build the strongest teams create environments where local and international team members collaborate effectively.
 
This requires:
<ul>
 <li>Cultural fit assessments during recruitment</li>
 <li>Comprehensive onboarding programs with cultural orientation</li>
 <li>Respect for local customs while introducing global best practices</li>
</ul>
The cost of getting this right is minimal compared to the cost of constant turnover.
 
<h2>Legal Essentials.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Rwanda has streamlined its business environment, and employment regulations reflect this commitment to ease of doing business.
 
<h3>Employment Contracts.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Contracts must include specific elements under Rwandan law:
<ul>
 <li>Probation periods</li>
 <li>Termination procedures</li>
 <li>Clear terms and conditions</li>
 <li>Fixed-term vs. permanent contract designation</li>
</ul>
Get this right from the start to avoid complications later.
 
<h3>Statutory Benefits and Compliance.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Standard requirements include:
<ul>
 <li>Social security contributions (employer and employee portions)</li>
 <li>Leave entitlements (annual, sick, maternity/paternity)</li>
 <li>Working hours and overtime regulations</li>
 <li>PAYE tax structure</li>
 <li>Mandatory registrations</li>
</ul>
The smartest investors don't navigate these requirements alone.
 
They partner with local HR experts - like <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/great-talent-today/posts/">Great Talent Today</a> - who ensure automatic compliance through efficient payroll management services.
 
With us, you leverage expertise so nothing fails while you focus on building your business.

Hiring in Rwanda: The Complete Investor's Guide (Salaries, Talent & More).

This article will help you understand how to better arrange your dialogue, in a story.

When I was younger, I wrote my conversations like this:
 
Tunde: The sky is dark, and it seems it will rain.
Sadiat: Yes, I think it will.
 
I know right, so embarrassing😭
 
Writing a dialogue requires the use of quotation marks, and this can be quite challenging.
 
But, understanding them and how they work, make your stories look more professional.
 
<h2>Let’s learn together shall we:</h2>
 
Quotation marks come before and after a character starts and stops speaking.
<h3>Example 1:</h3>
 
Tolu stared at the river and said, "someone is calling me from the river."
 
If you notice, before I started with the quotation marks, I used a comma.
 
If the words are spoken after the sentence starts, there must be a comma before the quotation.
 
However, this differs when it is at the beginning of the sentence.
 
<h3>Example 2:</h3>
 
"Please, tell me he is lying," she begged with tears in her eyes.
 
Here, the quotation starts at the beginning of the sentence, but when the spoken words were finished, there was an end quotation mark, and a comma.
 
The comes comes before the end quotation.
 
This indicates the end of the spoken words.
 
Let's look into something else:
 
<h2>Quotation marks and other punctuations.</h2>
 
Apart from commas, quotation marks work with other punctuations as well.
 
<h3>Example 3:</h3>
 
“How dare you speak to me that way?”
 
Here, the question mark comes before the quotation, not after.
 
The question is part of the spoken word, so the quotation is after the question.
Same with exclamation marks.
 
Remember, quotation marks indicate that a words are being spoken.
 
Example 4:
 
Her voice rose with her anger, “shut up!”
 
See how pretty and arranged that looks?🥰
 
That’s how your stories should look when you write, not like what I wrote when I was younger abeg.
 
Please don't write like younger me o😭
 
Your storyline can be lovely, but if your punctuations are not punctuating, it becomes an eyesore.
 
Let us all learn together so we write better.
 
And follow me if you learnt something from this article, I will defintely follow back❤️

How To Write a Dialogue.

This is a recap of one of my favorite classes in the 1000 Creaitz Content writing program.

“Caps lock look like you are shouting,” those were the words our coach <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/onyeka-ekwemozor-145425198/">Onyeka Ekwemozor</a> said to us in our class. 😅
 
It sounded funny when she said it, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.
 
I mean, WHY SHOULD I EVEN WANT WRITE LIKE THIS?😆
 
I registered for the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/creaitz/">Creaitz</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/wazoplus/">Wazoplus</a> #contentwritingprogram earlier this year, not knowing how much it would impact me.
 
As a beginner writer with no idea of content writing, this class has helped shape my understanding and kickstart my content writing experience.
 
The classes have been highly interactive, we must talk o,😅 and the assignments and feedbacks have been really impressive.
 
We have had five classes so far, and I will be talking about one of my favorites Copywriting.
 
<h2>Copywriting is writing compelling content to persuade your reader to take a particular action.</h2>
 
This type of writing, works on invoking the emotions of the reader.
 
How do we even write to invoke emotions?
 
Well, the best way is storytelling.
 
Storytelling helps to draw in your reader because like it or not, human beings no matter what age love a good story.
 
You can either, write from a <a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-first-person-point-of-view-in-writing-how-to-write-in-first-person-narrative-voice-with-examples">first-person point of view </a>making yourself relatable to your reader.
 
Or from a <a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-third-person-point-of-view-in-writing-how-to-write-in-third-person-narrative-voice-with-examples">third-person point of view</a> by making the reader, the main character in your story.
 
An example of using the first person POV, is:
I remember how hard it was to lose weight.
 
That right there, has grabbed their attention. Because they want to lose weight too and immediately relate to you.
 
An example of using the third person POV, is:
You are going to lose weight easily if you eat these foods.
 
This immediately perks up the reader because, it feels like you are talking directly to them.
 
To tell a good story you must talk about a relatable problem, this should be your point of reference in your story.
 
In your story you want to pose the problem the reader is facing, and propose a solution.
 
Not just any solution, a solution they can get from reading your content.
 
Now, you have been successful in making the reader read your content.
What next?
 
<h2>Next, is your CTA (call to action.)</h2>
 
Your CTA is the action you have been wanting the reader to take.
Remember, the main purpose of copywriting is to make the reader take an action.
 
The CTA must be at the end of your content, and it must be one action.
 
Humans don’t like stress. The action they take, must be as stress free as possible.
 
Example:
Send a dm to our Instagram page *insert link*
 
This way, it is stress free and with the emotions invoked by reading your copy, they can take the action as quickly as possible.
 
<h2>There are other ways to grab the attention of your reader apart from storytelling.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>And they are:</h2>
 
1. Using numbers.
 
Example:
3 easy ways to lose weight in 6 months.
 
Numbers have a way of calming the human mind, making it seem like, there is not so much work to do.
 
2. Using hooks.
 
Hooks are attention grabbing statements which pull in your readers.
You can start with a controversial statement or quote.
 
Example:
Experts say drinking ginger juice on an empty stomach every morning, can make you loose weight. How true?
 
Bam! You have gotten their attention. Because, they might have never heard of this, and what to read what the so-called experts, have to say.
 
This formula invokes the readers’ curiosity in wanting to read more of your content.
 
I learnt all these and more, from the #contentwritingprogram hosted by #creaitzxwazoplus, also <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/creaitz/">Creaitz</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/wazoplus/">Wazoplus</a> on LinkedIn.
 
I am so grateful to have been part of this, it has really helped me kickstart my writing career and knowledge in content writing.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLASSES IN THE CREAITZXWAZOPLUS CONTENT WRITING PROGRAM

As writers or not, we write daily, even if not with pen and paper.

We unconsciously make mistakes especially with the issue of capital letters.
This article will guide you, so your written work looks more organized.

In learning you will teach, and in teaching, you will learn - Phil Collins.
 
If you watched cartoons growing up, you know exactly where that quote is from😅
It came to mind when I was teaching my PPA students.
 
I am currently serving (N.Y.S.C.), and a recent topic I had to teach was, ‘when to use capital letters in a sentence.’
 
I looked at the topic and scoffed.
I have used capital letters all my life. This should be a breeze, right?
 
But then, I realized that yes, I have used capital letters, but never consciously.
 
Even as a writer, I never really took note of when and how I used them.
 
So, I went to my trusty friend, Google, and learnt what I will share with you now.
 
<h2>When to use capital letters.</h2>
 
The importance of proper capital letter placement cannot be overemphasized.
 
<h3>Capital letters are used when:</h3>
<h4>1. You want to start a sentence.</h4>
 
This is the first and one of the most important times to use a capital letter.
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
My baby brother threw my notebook, into a bowl of water.
 
<h4>2. After a full stop, a question mark, or an exclamation mark.</h4>
 
These are the only punctuation marks in the English language, where capital letters come after.
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
“Ronald Weasley! How dare you steal that car? I am absolutely disgusted.”
 
<h4>3. When using the pronoun ‘I’.</h4>
 
Wherever in a sentence you are using the ‘I’ pronoun, it must be the capital letter 'I'.
 
<h4>4. When writing a proper noun.</h4>
 
Now, this where we get technical. What is even a proper noun?🤔
A proper noun is a name that refers to a specific person, place, or thing.
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
My cat’s name is Cupcake Rudolph.
 
Note: ‘cat’ is not a proper noun because it is not specific.
 
There are millions of cats in the world. But there is only one cat whose name is, Cupcake Rudolph.
 
<h4>Another example:</h4>
Tega and I will be going to the beach.
 
Tega and I will be going to Landmark Beach.
 
Note: in the first statement, ‘beach’ is not a proper noun, because which beach are you referring to?
 
But in the second statement, ‘Landmark’ and ‘Beach’ start with capital letters.
This is because ‘Landmark Beach’ refers to a specific beach.
 
<h4>This also applies to:</h4>
I am going to the bank.
 
I am going to Unity Bank.
 
Here, ‘bank’ is not a proper noun, but ‘Unity Bank’ is a proper noun because it refers to a particular bank.
 
<h4>5. When writing a month, day of the week or holiday.</h4>
<h4> </h4>
Let me not lie, I did not know this one.
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
Yoma and I will be going to Chicken Republic, the first Friday after Christmas.
 
This February has been a hot month.
 
Note: here, Chicken republic, Friday and Christmas are proper nouns, so is February.
 
<h4>6. When writing an abbreviation.</h4>
 
Here, after each letter, there is full stop, to indicate that there is more to that letter.
 
Example:
I will soon be done with this N.Y.S.C. program.
 
<h4>7. When addressing a person with their title.</h4>
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
The court will rise for Judge Hope.
 
Have you seen Doctor Samuel today?
 
Note: if you had said, ‘have you seen a doctor today?’
Or
'Which judge is taking this case?'
 
The ‘doctor’ and ‘judge’ there are not specific because, they do not refer to a particular doctor or judge.
 
And yes, this is also under proper nouns.
 
See, I told you proper nouns were a bit technical.
 
An easy way to remember though, is that proper nouns are nouns that refer to a specific person, place, or thing.
 
So, I guess Phil Collins was right, in teaching the children, I learnt to improve my writing.
 
I hope you learnt something from me too😄
 
I am loving this platform by the way. Thanks to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/creaitz/">Creaitz</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/wazoplus/">Wazoplus</a>.

When And How To Use Capital Letters In a Sentence.

A young girl goes into the world, eyes bright with hope for the future.
And comes out as a woman, the light gone from her eyes.

I am a simple woman who has always enjoyed the simple things in life, and life can’t get any simpler than bread.
 
I have always loved bread. Ever since I was a child in the early 2000s.
 
I remember running to a store with my ₦25. A gift from my mother for attaining the first position in class.
 
At the store, I bought a loaf of round bread for ₦10, and bottle of Coca-Cola for the price of ₦15.
 
I remember skipping back home with glee and looking forward to my treat.
Life back then was simple, pure.
 
Then it was the year 2014, my love for bread unwavering.
 
I gladly withdrew ₦500 from my new student account, and walked to a store to buy a small loaf of bread and a bottle of Coca-Cola.
 
The loaf of bread was then ₦50 and the drink, ₦120.
 
The price increased yes, but not so noticeable, and it had taken about 14 years to get to that price.
 
My mother complained about the price increase, but I scoffed it off as old people talk.
 
This price increase did not matter, I was working towards a future where I could buy all the bread and coke I wanted.
 
All I had to do was work hard. The future was bright and full of bread, life was good.
 
Now, it is the year 2024.
My love for bread dwindling as I sadly withdrew ₦1000 from my account, my last cash for the week.
 
Anger swept across my being when I realized that I could no longer buy my beloved, childhood comfort food.
 
A small loaf of bread was now ₦300, and that bottle coke, ₦400.
 
If I ate my comfort food, I would be rest assured to forgo other meals for the weekend.
 
This was because I needed to buy drinking water and that was all the change of ₦300 could buy.
 
My beloved coke had even lost its flavor over the years, despite its annoying increase.
This increase, that took less than 10 years to be achieved.
 
I thought I would be a full-blown adult with grown up kids before I would sing the song my mother sang.
 
The song titled ‘this was not the price years ago.’
 
But now, I sing it every Tuesday, only this time it is a remix titled, ‘this was not the price last week.’
 
<a href="https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/668583-updated-nigerias-inflation-hits-29-9-amid-high-food-prices.html#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20report%2C%20the,quickened%20to%2035.41%20per%20cent.&amp;text=Nigeria's%20annual%20inflation%20rate%20rose,Statistics%20(NBS)%20said%20Thursday.">Premiumtimesng</a> stated that, Nigeria’s annual inflation rate rose to 29.90% in January 2024 from 28.92% in December 2023.
 
Meaning, in just a span of one month, prices have inflated by 1%.
 
Does that mean by the end of the year 2024, ₦300 bread may not even exist?
 
That thought saddens me to no end.
 
What was all my hard work for? I earn a living and I cannot live?
How did we not see this coming?
 
#creaitzxwazoplus #contentwritingprogram

HOW DID WE NOT SEE THIS INFLATION COMING?

Using a story illustration, Gross Domestic Product and its effects on Nigerian's economy is explained.

There are several reasons for our terrible economy right now, but the one most affecting us, is our lack of GDP.
 
<h2>What is even a GDP?</h2>
 
<a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/gdp#:~:text=Dec%202023-,Nigeria%20GDP,a%20stipulated%20period%20of%20time.">Tradingeconomics</a> describes GDP (Gross domestic product), as a measure of the national income and output from a given country.
 
In layman’s terms, it is goods and services produced within a country, by its citizens.
 
But lately, the Nigerian economy has not encouraged its citizens especially in terms of entrepreneurship.
 
There has been a high increase in prices of raw materials used for goods and services production, and lack of protection for already existing entrepreneurs.
 
We tend to often argue that our inflation is caused by excess money supply in the system, but I doubt that is our present case.
 
I don’t want to overestimate our government, but I am hoping they know that producing more paper money will cause our country’s economy, hopping on its last legs, to crumble.
 
However, our core problem is that it is the aggregate supply level has significantly fallen short of aggregate demand.
 
In an economy that is operating at below full employment, this is a huge problem.
Source: <a href="https://www.thecable.ng/the-economics-of-nigerias-current-inflation">thecable.ng</a>.
 
<h3>I am going to explain with this illustration:</h3>
 
Mr. Emeka is a businessman who has trained Obinna for 10 years.
 
During this period, Obinna worked and built-up Mr. Emeka’s company and elevated his business.
 
After Obinna’s years of service, Mr. Emeka provides him with a ‘settlement’ to thank him for his service of 10 years.
 
This settlement includes a shop, some already bought goods and of course monetary rewards.
 
Obinna, using the resources given to him by his master, is able to build his own business and thrive.
 
Obinna thriving, gives credit to Mr. Emeka who is then able to get other young men to work under his tutelage, also with the promise of an agreed settlement.
 
This gives Mr. Emeka more workers to improve his business, and his students or boys, are gaining experience and have a reward awaiting their hard work.
.
But what happens when, if at the end of 10 years, Mr. Emeka does not settle his boys?
 
He loses credibility, causing less supply of labour to his business.
 
Which reduces the amount of Obinnas that he trains and sets up.
 
And like it or not, a country needs Obinnas.
 
Here, Mr. Emeka is the Nigerian Government and Obinnas are its citizens.
 
We need more Obinnas (entrepreneurs), to elevate our country’s GDP, which will in turn elevate the country’s economy even if by a little bit.
 
I doubt we have lack of entrepreneurs, but even if we pumped in one million Obinnas into the system, what help is that if there are no resources?
 
Will increasing our GDP really help this country’s economy? Will that really help Nigerian's economy?
 
Leave a comment to answer.

Do You Think This Can Save Our Economy?

Hyperinflation is slowly creeping into Nigeria. And it is worse than it sounds.
Follow me, as I explain with my (as always) helpful illustrations.

Imagine you woke up one morning, hungry and you set out to get yourself bread and the bread seller tells you it costs, ₦10,000.
 
You laugh because she is joking right? There is no way.
 
But she looks at you straight in the face and says, “ti o ko ba fẹ ra kuro nibi,” - If you don’t want to buy it, leave here.
 
You blink, still waiting for the joke to land. No jokes, no landing.
 
You then zombie-walk back to your apartment and you get a text from your landlord which read, “rent will increase to 1 million this afternoon.”
 
Which rent? For this face-me-I-face-you house?
You stare at your phone, and suddenly remember the nightmare that is your life.
 
Like a crashing wave, your memories flood in, and you recollect the hyperinflation that started in the year 2034, when the Nigerian government thought it would be wise to print more Naira notes.
 
Now prices rise daily, and naira notes mean nothing.
They even printed a ₦100,000 note, further plunging the country deep into economic ruin.
 
You look at the chaos that is your country, shake your head and go out to buy the ₦10,000 bread.
 
I can hear your God forbids from here, and I am saying it with you.
 
<h2>But What is Even This Hyperinflation?</h2>
Look at it this way, in a small town of Okuobiko, with a population of just 1000 residents, there are 3 businessmen, Mr. Okafor, Mr. Kazeem and Mr. Anikulapo.
 
These men are friends who advise each other, lend each other help and invest together.
 
Sadly, Mr. Anikulapo makes some bad business decisions and has to borrow some money.
 
He borrowed from his friends but, luck did not smile on him yet again, and he made no profit.
 
Now, the time limit given for the money to be returned has elapsed, and he must pay them back – as he is a man who keeps to his word.
 
Unfortunately for this small town, Mr. Anikulapo owned a money printing machine, so he makes the drastic decision to print out money notes so he can pay his friends, and get back to his feet.
 
He prints 10 million and pays off his loan of 6 million, much to the pleasure of his friends.
 
Satisfied with being debt free, he then goes on to embark on more business ventures.
 
There had been a fishing boat that he wanted to buy so he could invest and start a fishing business.
 
The last time he checked the price, it was 3.5 million.
He practically skips to the boat store and asks to buy it.
 
Getting there, the shop keeper tells him, “it is now costs 5 million.”
What? But he checked the price just 5 days ago.
 
<h3>What happened?</h3>
What happened was, the money he printed was not meant to be in circulation.
 
How money works is, there must be a product, which generates value and that in turn, causes people to give value (money) to it.
 
A product requires work, dedication, and time, and this money printed was not generated from work or dedication.
 
Hence, this money is worth less.
 
Meaning, in this small town of Okuobiko, the 3.5million of 5 days ago is equal to the 5 million of the present day.
 
In other words, if money is worth less, you pay more for the same products.
 
Now that I think about it, is this not what is happening in Nigeria today?
 
I sincerely hope the Government is not printing more money behind our backs.
That would be the beginning of the end.
 
There are different ways Mr. Anikulapo could have stopped this disaster, he could have taken a loan, asked for more time to pay back his friends, or invested in another business.
 
Literally anything apart from printing more money.
 
According to my research, the perfect way to pray this inflation away, would be to increase the country’s GDP.
 
Increasing domestic manufactured goods, which will create value, adds positively to a country's economy.
 
But how can we have domestic products when we cannot afford domestic resources?
 
The Nigerian inflation is getting worse daily, and I sincerely hope they are not pouring in printed money into this already crippling system.
 
I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed writing it.

The Horror Story That is Hyperinflation.

Almost everyone is tired of the stress that comes with retail banks.
But will we ever leave them?

I will never forgive retail banks for using my ₦3000 to practice magic tricks, because it vanished into thin air.
 
In the year 2016, ₦3000 was a lot of money because, in there was meat, soup, stew, rice and garri – for student consumption obviously.
 
You guys would have loved life back then, ₦10,000 a month would last so well.
 
I also recall dancing the devil’s tango with another retail bank, it was a back and forth which lasted for 2 weeks before the money appeared.
 
Or was it when ₦2000 was sent to me by my cousin, but it hung in the air and never dropped?
 
If Nigerians begin to recount instances where retail banks screwed them over, we would be here till Christmas.
 
But then, hearing our wails and woes, a savior appeared *cue angels singing* in the form of microfinance banks.
 
There had been various microfinance banks, all focused on providing financial services which worked towards the needs of individuals and small businesses.
 
But a big number of them failed.
 
<h2>Why?</h2>
I did say their main aim was to provide financial aid, right?
Well, several of them provided a lot of loans for quite a number of people and businesses.
 
And we can all guess what happened.
The issue was, some microfinance banks (for some reason) trusted that people would pay back their loans, complete and on schedule.
 
Lol.
 
Whoever their financial advisor was, did not advise them well.
 
This risky endeavor put most of the microfinance banks out of business.
 
But I guess that was the old generation of microfinance banks.
 
New microfinance banks, however, have found a way to make our money work for them.
 
Whatever Jack Ma motivational speech they listened to, they should please share the update with us.
 
Because how did they even come up with that? It makes perfect sense.
 
Our money works for them, so they make money through us.
And to keep us from leaving their apps, they give ‘cashback’ to us.
 
A little incentive to keep us loyal to them. Brilliant!
 
Obviously, at first, there were few bumps on the road.
 
I mean, it was new and unchartered territory, with almost no history of user experience.
 
They were basically Indiana Jones.
 
But also, like Uncle Jones, they slashed with their machete of tenacity, powered by Millennial anger and Gen Z audacity.
 
This brought forth the birth of the microfinance bank apps we know and love today.
 
<h3>Now, what are the benefits of microfinance banks?</h3>
A personal advantage to me is that my money will not play hang man with me.
 
There are no more high service charges, no more high transaction fees.
And no more of our money performing magic tricks on us.
 
Although, I doubt microfinance banks can ever kick retail banks out of business because, most people are still very skeptical about microfinance banks.
 
Like my auntie will say, "if anything happens, I know where to find Second Bank, I will just go there and shout. But I don't like these banks without offices."
 
Makes perfect sense, she needs to feel her money is secure.
But, if you're like me who cannot shout, let's stay with our bank apps and online customer care.
 
Also, retail banks provide personalized services and access to advice from professionals, which helps to navigate finances more effectively.
 
Microfinance banks do not provide that, but at least if a bank transaction is failed, I get my refund within 24-48 hours.
 
Lastly, to add, nothing is perfect.
 
Even with the microfinance banks being so efficient, it still has its bad days.
 
But I still prefer them to retail banks.
I don’t need my money playing Houdini with me.
 
Drop a comment on which of the banks you prefer. Retail or microfinance banks?

Will Microfinance Banks Kick Retail Banks Out of Business?

This article lists out writing skills that can get you remote jobs and sources to get them.

Our parents got extra jobs to afford extra amenities, and now we need extra jobs to afford the necessities.
It’s sad but it is the reality we live in, and we have to adjust.
 
I think everyone who can, should get into freelancing, as it is one the ways to make money through your phone.
 
We cannot rely on hope that this country will get better because, sorry to say, we cannot eat hope.
 
Gone are the days when getting a degree guaranteed you a good job.
Nowadays, you can have a good degree and still have nothing.
 
Therefore, I recommend learning freelancing writing skills.
 
With these, you can get paid even in foreign currency, you could use some foreign currency right now, couldn’t you?
 
<h2>What skills are those?</h2>
<h3>1. Editing.</h3>
 
If you did well in English language while in school, you should be applying for these jobs on various freelancing websites.
 
English is not everybody’s first language, so a lot of foreign people need this skill.
You’ll be surprised on how many of this job listings you will see on Upwork.
 
<h3>2. Proofreading.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
You are probably asking, is this not the same thing as editing?
No dear it is not.
 
You can find out the difference <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3hiLsyM4O8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">here</a>.
 
And those smart ones who are already thinking of using just Chatgpt to do all the editing and proofreading work, perish the thought.
 
Perish it now in the mighty name of Jesus.
 
You people forget that all these AI now are still learning, they are not yet fully developed.
 
Meaning, they can still give out some false information.
 
So, when you edit or proofread through Chatgpt, then you just copy and paste WITHOUT CHECKING IT, that’s poor work ethic.
 
Me personally, I edit or proofread it myself, before I ask Chatgpt to check.
After that, you can be sure of your work.
 
One thing I’ve seen that works for me is, during editing and proofreading jobs, reading aloud helps you see your mistakes easier.
 
When you read it in your mind, your mind is delusional, but when you read it aloud, your ears hear all your mistakes.
 
You’ll be surprised at the kind of mistakes you made.

4 Freelancing Writing Skills That Can Get You Paid.

Most creatives are overthinkers meaning our brains work overtime.

These are 2 ways to save some of the ideas we think up.

Every writer has this problem where inspiration strikes, and for some reason, we imagine that we will remember this idea another time.
 
We are always delusional and say, “I’ll remember later.”
 
Spoiler. We do not!
 
I don’t know who we think we are, like we have cupboards in our brains where we can keep the ideas, and we can bring them out whenever we need them.
 
Inspiration leaves almost as quickly as it comes. Which is why, you have to hold it and store it.
 
<h2>How do you do this?</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>1. Writing it down.</h3>
 
This is a good way to store content ideas because, as you write it in the moment the inspiration, it is fresh and hot in your mind and more ideas keep pouring in.
 
This is your creative hotspot, and if you can sit and write down the content in your mind right then, it will come out beautifully.
 
But what happens when you can't sit and write your thoughts at that exact time?
This brings me to:
 
<h3>2. Voice recording.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
This is also another efficient storage for your content ideas.
 
Except, it's trickier. When you are recording what you're thinking, you have to say exactly what you saw that inspired that idea.
 
<h4>Example:</h4>
<h4> </h4>
I record, ’I saw a cat chasing a rat and that inspired me to write an article about fleeing from things that can harm you.'
 
You have to state the scenario and the idea it inspired.
 
It must be specific on what you saw, this will help you so that when you go back to your recording, you will understand what your past self said.
 
If you just record, ‘flee from things that want to harm you’, there is no context, and you might listen to that recording and not understand it anymore.
 
So, for voice recordings, be specific and articulate.
 
Remember, you are not Albert Einstein, your brain may not keep the idea in one cupboard up there.
 
I know how many ideas I have lost just because I did not write it down or record it.
 
So, remember to always write your ideas down or record them so you never lose them.

The third-person point of view can be hard to maintain, and unless you write often, it takes a while to sustain it.
 
Personally, I don’t think there is a shortcut to learning this. All we can do is, practice and practice.
 
<h2>3 Types of Third Person POV.</h2>
 
<h3>1. Third-person omniscient point of view.</h3>
This narrator knows everything about the story and its characters. This narrator can discuss anyone at any time.
 
They know everyone's feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Bascically an omniscient narrator.
 
<h3>2. Third-person objective.</h3>
This point of view has a neutral narrator that is not particular to any characters’ thoughts or feelings.
The narrator presents the story with an observational tone.
 
They just explain and describe what is taking place as it takes place.
 
An example is Lady Whistledown in the Netflix series Bridgerton.
 
<h3>3. Third-person limited omniscient.</h3>
This point of view (often called a “close third”) is when a narrator sticks closely to one character but remains in the third-person.
 
The narrator can stick with one character for the entire story, or switch between different characters for different chapters or sections.
 
This 'sticking to one person' is made to limit the narrator's perspective and, also to control what the reader knows.
 
In my terms and a way for you to understand it better;
 
The 3 types of third-person narrators can be described as: An over-sabi, an aproko, and someone with short-term memory loss😅
 
I know, quite unprofessional but these help me remember the 3 different types of Third person narrators.
 
I hope they help you too.

Now, if you, like me work better with visual examples, this is for you.
 
Let’s say we want to write about a girl called Fathia using the over-sabi POV which is the 3rd person omniscient.
 
<h4>It would go like this:</h4>
 
Fathia woke up to the sounds of waves crashing against each other, she always loved how the river fought against itself.
 
Her mother was in the other room waking up her younger brother, Emmanuel, for school but the boy wouldn’t budge as always.
 
“Fathia,” her mother shouted, “bring me a bowl of water.”
 
Her mother heard Fathia grumble under her breath as she stood from her bed to bring the water.
 
She knew Fathia hated touching cold water so early in the morning, but she had to.
We all have to do things we do not like in this world.
 
****
 
In this scene we just wrote together, Fathia could not see the other room and she did not know what was going on.
 
But the omniscient or over-sabi narrator knew what was going on in the other room because they knew and saw all.
 
Now, let's write in the Third-person limited omniscient.
 
Remember, this is limited omniscient. So, short-term memory.
Here, this narrator only knows the mind of the character they are attached to.
 
Let us write the previous scene with this narrator:
 
Fathia woke up to the sounds of waves crashing against each other, she always loved how the river seemed to fight against itself.
 
She was enjoying the sounds of waves coupled with the early morning sea breeze until she heard her mother call out to her loudly.
 
“Fathia, bring me a bowl of water.”
 
"Emmanuel again?" Fathia grumbled to herself.
Emmanuel, her younger brother could never wake up unless he was drenched in cold water.
 
That boy slept like a log and she was always tasked with the water fetching, which would be used to wake him up.
 
This annoyed her to bits as she hated to touch cold water, early every morning.
 
She sluggishly stood from her comfortable bed and went to get a bowl of water from the kitchen drum.
 
****
 
Here, Fathia’s mother is introduced into the story through Fathia's sense of hearing.
 
Because, again, this narrator is limited, and has to see the world through the character they are attached to.
 
Whether it is through a sense of smell, sight, or hearing, all other characters or elements have to be introduced through the attached character.
 
Remember, your story should be written in a way that your main character is the center.
 
Always pick one type of third-person narrator per story, and stick to it.
It brings a level of professionalism.
 
My favorite is the short-term memory loss narrator, as I get to see the story through various characters' eyes.
 
For the last narrator example, you can watch Bridgerton😁

How To Write in Third-Person Point of View (POV).

LinkedIn is not as impossible to navigate as you think.
This article contains clear explanations on how to take advantage of the goldmine that is LinkedIn.

Most people think LinkedIn is overrated, and that no one gets jobs there.
 
You'll be wrong because people get jobs there every day, jobs that even take them out of the country.
 
But it doesn't work with you just creating a LinkedIn account.
 
There are several things to do before applying for jobs on LinkedIn.
 
This is because when you apply, the company checks your LinkedIn profile.
What do they check?
 
Well, they check for your social media presence, what you post about, and how often you post.
This helps them know a little about you and your work ethic.
 
<h2>Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile.</h2>
The first thing you need to do on LinkedIn is, optimize your profile.
Why?
 
Well, not only does it make your page look professional, but it also helps you rank higher on LinkedIn searches.
 
This enables companies or recruiters to find you faster, and it also helps build transparency and trust.
 
You would not want to buy from an online brand when you know nothing about them right?
 
Exactly.
 
<h3>LinkedIn Optimization for Beginners.</h3>
If you check Google, you will see that people charge up to $250 for LinkedIn optimization.
 
I don't know about you, but if you shake me and my belongings, we will not bring out $250 right now.
 
You do not necessarily need to pay to get your LinkedIn profile optimized.
 
You can either do some research on YouTube or check out this easy step-by-step explanation on how to optimize your LinkedIn profile <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4aA9TisoHz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">here</a>.
 
<h2>Getting The Best Out of LinkedIn.</h2>
Do you know how you got consistent on Instagram or Twitter(X) and started seeing results with increased impressions and visibility?
 
Same thing on LinkedIn.
 
As a beginner, you are going to need to post at least 3 - 4 times a week.
Remember, you are trying to build a personal brand through transparency.
 
You need the recruiters to see you and be able to read you like an open book.
 
Posting consistently builds trust and visibility for your LinkedIn profile, the higher you rank, the more recruiters and hiring agencies see you.
 
<h2>What Do You Post on LinkedIn?</h2>
These are some of the basic templates for posts on LinkedIn.
 
1. The skills you have learned or are currently learning.
2. Tips you have learned that can make your job easier. (Sharing tips makes people know you know what you are doing.)
3. Struggles that come with your line of work.
4. Lessons you have learned about yourself through the course of your learning.
 
There is no shortage of topics to post on LinkedIn.
 
When I have nothing to post, I just google, “quotes about copywriting” or “latest trends in content writing”.
Something always jumps out at me then.
 
When in doubt, follow creators who have been on LinkedIn longer and post consistently.
Watch how they post and learn from them.
 
You can also click <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C47dMxcsky8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">here</a> to see a beginner guide on how to post on LinkedIn.
 
<h3>Finally, Engage.</h3>
Engagement is paramount if you want to increase your impressions and visibility on any social media platform.
 
People see you engage on LinkedIn and want to connect with you.
 
So, like, comment interesting and reasonable comments, and reply to comments on your posts.
Remember, you are trying to increase your visibility and these actions do that.
 
Try to not be swept into being a LinkedIn influencer overnight, or you can but after getting some clients and building a foundation on LinkedIn.
 
You are there for a reason: to increase visibility, build your portfolio, and get paying clients.
 
Don’t forget to keep up with the latest trends, build connections, do research, and grow.
 
With all these, and gradually building your portfolio through volunteer work or any other way, you can get the best out of LinkedIn.

How to Take Advantage of LinkedIn

Growing up, I went with my mother to the market a lot, and this was where I knew Taiwo and Kehinde.
 
They never went to school but were sharp and intelligent children.
Their mother vowed to enroll them in schools but had to work to earn the fees needed.
 
Despite this shortcoming, they learned simple mathematics from their mum and always tried to read any book they laid their tiny hands on.&nbsp;
 
The first time they saw me at the market with my school uniform, they were overjoyed, they begged me to teach them numbers, letters, and ‘big words’.
 
They loved learning new words and inputting them in sentences, much to the amusement of the other market women, and the pride of their mother.
 
I remember Taiwo and Kehinde's eyes light up with glee, every time they saw me. Always eager to show me their progress with the homework I assigned to them.
 
They each had a small notebook with which they learned, and I bought them pencils, and erasers while their mother thanked me with extra cups of rice and garri.
 
One day, I arrived at the market and found their stall was empty.
 
Turns out their mother passed away due to an illness, and after selling the last of her wares, the children went on to live on the streets.
 
Their last anchor to humanity was gone, and it left them traumatized and dejected.
 
I never saw them again and often wondered what became of them and their thirst for learning.
 
There are hundreds of Taiwos and Kehindes living on the streets of Lagos.
 
Children held down by life and circumstance, and whose lives would have been different if they had access to education.
 
At <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tsionacademy/">Tsionacademy</a>, it is our goal to not lose our Taiwos and Kehindes to the cruel twists and turns of life.
 
<a href="https://twitter.com/tsionacademy">We</a> pride ourselves on transforming street kids into valuable members of the community and nation at large.
 
Here, we want to provide free learning facilities for children in the remote areas of Lagos State.
 
Unfortunately, we cannot do this without your support.
 
We are only N700,000 away from our goal of 5 million naira, and we need your help to take these children off the streets.
 
Donate to Goodnews Microfinance Bank 0110147308 Account Name: Tsion Academy.
 
Let's get the Taiwos and Kehindes of Lagos, out of the streets, and into a classroom.

From The Streets to The Classroom.

Bullying in Nigerian schools is sadly a common occurrence. From hostels to day schools, it exists and happens every day.
 
People like to think that bullies stem from the system of being bullied. Although that may be true, we often forget that we are human, and humans are wicked at heart.
 
Bullies at their core, love to feel powerful and love to feel like the biggest in the room.
And the only way they can achieve that is by bullying the weakest in the crowd.
 
And humans, out of fear, follow the crowd mentality and cheer on the bully.
Either to feel among or to avoid being bullied as well.
 
The video circulating the Internet shows a teenage girl taunting and slapping another teenage girl numerous times.
 
It broke my heart not because I was that girl, but because I had seen it happen in front of me, but I was too powerless to stop it.
 
Growing up, I attended different Nigerian schools due to moving houses.
The school where I encountered bullying at its peak was Federal Government College in Warri, Delta State.
 
I hated that school with the entirety of my being. That school was the beginning of my dark thoughts.
 
Some people may say, it's a rite of passage.
 
Oh really? Asking juniors to "submit" their foodstuffs, while spending the night serving physical punishments was a rite of passage?
Slapping, beating, and kicking students for fun was a rite of passage?
 
Disgusting.
 
That school made juniors look sick and dying. We had to learn how to sleep light, hide foods from seniors, and escape from the hostel.
 
You had to tread lightly and hope you were never caught in anyone’s traps.
 
From what I saw in that video, the poor girl was just caught in a trap and could not fight her way out of it. That was not the first time she was getting slapped and humiliated like that.
 
I can deduce that she had tried fighting back or asking for help from her peers and they failed her.
 
The weak always rally around the strong.
 
The students who sat and watched could not only sense her weakness but theirs as well.
 
They did not want to stand out because, the fear of standing alone like the girl being slapped, terrified and crippled them.
 
They knew that one word from them and they would have gotten slapped as well. So, they avoided it and acted like flies on the wall.
 
Some would argue that the bully was being bullied or hurt at home hence, she bullied others.
And I have this to say, a person who has experienced pain, hated it and still wants to inflict it on others, is a terrible person.
 
I am not invalidating their terrible past experiences, but if you have seen pain, hated it, and you want to spread the pain you felt.
 
You are a wicked person.

Bullies: A Scourge on The Earth.

The first time I saw a Bokku mall, I wanted to try it out as I am a maestro of mall explorations.
 
Why? Well, I am a simple woman and shopping makes me happy. I see a new mall and I enter.
 
The prices of items were the same as in other malls, I mean duh.
 
What did I think was going to happen?
 
I bought a few items that day and went to the checkout, but I was told I had to pay for a cellophane bag.
 
Yes, it was just ₦50 and ₦100 for different sizes, but the Nigerian in me found it ludicrous.
 
I had never bought a plastic bag at a mall all my life, and I didn’t intend to start then.
I put my bought items into my tote bag and moved on.
 
"It's just a regular mart", I thought.
 
That was until I smelt something. It came from the Bokku bakery situated inside the mart.
 
Its aroma gave off a scent of melted butter and vanilla-flavored milk.
I just had to taste that.
 
I ate the bread and it melted in my mouth. It tasted like it had cream embedded in its recipe.
 
The warm, vanilla goodness and the buttery sweetness of Bokku bread danced the waltz with my taste buds.
 
I knew I would always go back for that bread. Bokku Mart had won my soul.
 
<h2>Bokku Mart: The Enterprise That Won Lagosians with Bread.</h2>
 
Bokku has capitalized on Lagosians’ love for bread and placed their malls everywhere.
 
It feels like a Bokku Mart takes less than a month to get built and working. Because they are almost at every corner of Lagos.
 
I admire their tenacity and productivity.
 
They hooked us with their best-seller bread, and never let us forget about it.
 
Have you tried the Bokku bread before?
You haven't?
 
Well, take your nylon/cellophane/tote bag and head to your nearest Bokku Mart.
 
You said you need the address? No, you don't.
Just walk at least 150 steps anywhere in Lagos, and you will see a Bokku Mart.
 
You can also check their locations posted in their link in Bio, on their Instagram page: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bokkumart/">bokkumart</a>.
 
At this time, in May of 2024, Bokku bread weighs 800g and sells at ₦1100.
 
Hopefully, the Nigerian economy does not make things harder that they have to increase the price.
 
Amen.
 
If you want more sweetness out of your Bokku bread experience, I suggest peanut butter or jam.
 
It pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the bread and bursts into a rainbow of flavors in your mouth.
 
Have you seen a Bokku Mart yet, then go in with your bags and get that bread.
Especially a warm, soft one.
 
Could you tell that I am a lover of bread from this article? I hope it was not too obvious😅

Sansongroup: Elevating Your Digital Presence in Rwanda.

Felicia went into her online business with just an Instagram page and a dream.
She wanted to create a tech company that connected restaurants to consumers through an online order app.
 
This was an amazing idea and everyone said it had potential. But this idea never grew and never went past being a dream.
 
Why?
<ul>
 <li>Her mobile app was not visually appealing and lacked user-friendliness, which discouraged users.</li>
 <li>She did not have the digital marketing skills to promote her mobile app, which reduced her app’s digital footprint and</li>
 <li>Her mobile app’s landing page lacked SEO which made it rank low on Google search engine and unable to be found by users.</li>
</ul>
All these made her mobile app difficult to use and have no digital presence. Due to this, she gave up.

3 Reasons Rwandan Business Owners Need Sansongroup. 

There is nothing that says ‘thank you’ as much as a personalized tote bag or mug.
Not only is it an affordable gift, but also useful to the receiver.
 
Humans are social creatures and crave connection more than anything. So having a gift that reminds them that they were part of something bigger is always memorable.
 
<h2>How Modern Design Improves Your Gifts.</h2>
Picture this, you take your tote bag to the market and this bag was gifted to you at an exclusive event.
You purchase your products but your card declines. Out of embarrassment, you try to fumble for your phone when someone taps you.
 
You don't recognize this person but you recognize something else, their bag. They have the same tote bag as you.
Trying to be helpful, they step in and help mitigate the payment issue, helping ease your stress and embarrassment.
 
All this because you both had one thing in common.
 
At <a href="https://wa.me/c/250788309956">Modern Design</a>, we pride ourselves with not just printing pictures or words, but printing human connections.

Modern Design: Curating Perfect Gifts For Events.

Have you ever wondered why big companies still print out large billboards and pull-up banners for adverts? I mean we already know and recognize them.
 
Why should they go out of their way to make more printed products about their company?
The answer is very simple. Out of sight, out of mind.
 
Humans are always mentally occupied. Due to this, whenever they need a product you offer, and cannot remember your company name, they go for a company in front of them.
 
That is why most companies implement a marketing strategy, called <a href="https://www.masterclass.com/articles/reminder-advertising">Reminder Strategy</a>.
In this strategy, companies often place billboards and pull-up banners at strategic locations to remind people of their business.
 
Strategies like these help keep businesses top of mind at a mental level.
 
<h2>2 Products That Can Enhance Your Reminder Strategy.</h2>
<h3>1. Pull-up banners</h3>
This is perfect for your business' Reminder Strategy, as it can be easily carried and placed at various locations.
 
These locations could be local shopping malls, restaurants or bars (with permission obviously).
Placing your pull-up banners strategically, can boost your business in ways you didn't know possible.
 
<h3>2. Branded T-shirts, caps or tote bags.</h3>
Reminder Strategy is all about the human psyche.
Subtle reminders have a way of sticking to the human mind, and that is what you're going for.
 
Subtle reminders that stick.
 
Imagine you offer free tote bags containing your company name and logo to people, and they carry it everywhere.
Subconsciously, when people continue to see it, it sticks to their minds. And so, when they need a product you offer, they remember YOUR company.
 
And where can you get these items for your Reminder Strategy?

We live in a world where everything is digital. What this means is, you are a nobody if
you have no online presence. This is more true for restaurants because everyone looks
for you online, before they locate you offline.
 
Imagine looking for a bank you can entrust with your money and assets. You find one
and there are no online reviews about them.
Would you trust that bank? I wouldn't. And I doubt you would.
 
What does that tell you? That online/digital presence is paramount for the growth of
your restaurant.
 
<h2>Rwandan Restaurants and Sansongroup.</h2>
As a Rwandan restaurant owner, there are important steps to take to boost your online
presence.
 
<h3>1. Ensure your website is Search Engine Optimized (SEO).</h3>
This helps your website rank higher on Google and this leads to more traffic on your

<h3>2. Ensure your website design is user friendly.</h3>
Okay, you have a website and it ranks high in Google search. But what if it isn't
engaging or user friendly?
That can lead to low traffic.
And when you rank high on Google and get low traffic, Google analytics will think your
website is not useful. Thereby reducing its rankings.
 
<h3>3. Ensure to create good content across all social media platforms.</h3>
Consistent and valuable content on your social media builds online presence, and trust.
This enables your customers to know that, not only do you have a good, engaging
website.
You are also active on your social media pages. Then Bam! Trust is established.
You can see how a good, engaging website and content on your social media leads to
increased online presence.

Elevate Your Online Business Community With Sansongroup.

In recent years, Rwanda has emerged as a beacon of growth and entrepreneurship in Africa.
And as the country continues to develop, the need for essential service providers increases greatly.

Looking for Babysitters in Kigali? Kozi Has You Covered!

When her husband closed the door on her face, Anna felt like her whole world shattered to pieces.
 
As a stay-at-home mom in Kigali, her days were filled with raising her four kids, managing the household, and supporting her husband’s career.
 
Then her husband left—with his secretary, leaving her to pick up the pieces alone.
 
At first, Anna did what she always did: she fought for her family.
 
She stretched every franc, stayed up late trying to figure out how to make things work, and cried quietly so the kids wouldn’t hear.
 
But being a mother wasn’t enough to keep food on the table or pay the bills.
 
So, she turned to the internet.
 
Hours of searching led to dead ends. Most jobs either needed qualifications she didn’t have or wouldn’t work with her schedule as a single mom.
 
Hope started slipping through her fingers.
 
One sleepless night, while scrolling aimlessly, she found a post about something called <a href="https://kozi.rw/">Kozi</a>. An e-recruitment platform?
 
She almost scrolled past it—after all, she’d tried everything. But something made her stop.
 
She <a href="https://jobportal.kozi.rw/login.php">signed up</a>, more out of desperation than belief. And then, everything changed.
Kozi wasn’t just another job site. It felt... human.
 
Within days, Anna found jobs that actually fit her life. <a href="https://kozi.rw/services">Gigs that did not need much certifications</a>, and part-time jobs that let her be there for her kids.
 
Soon, she wasn’t just surviving—she was thriving.
 
Her favorite moment? Sitting her kids down to a special dinner, knowing she earned every bite on that table herself.
 
Anna still doesn’t know what the future holds, but one thing is clear: she’s no longer the woman waiting for someone to rescue her.
 
With Kozi’s help, she’s writing her own story—and it’s just getting started.

Interview Questions To Ask When Hiring Assistant From Kozi.

“Another rejection. What’s the point anymore?”
 
That thought kept running through Peter’s mind as he sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the stack of resumes he’d sent out.
 
Weeks had turned into months of job searching with nothing to show for it.
 
He had tried everything; networking events, endless online applications, even walking into offices unannounced and hoping for a break. Nothing worked.
 
Peter was running out of money, and worse, out of hope.
 
The once vibrant and determined man was now avoiding friends and family, too embarrassed to admit how stuck he felt. “Maybe I need to leave Rwanda,” he thought bitterly.
 
One evening, while scrolling through his phone, he stumbled on a post about <a href="https://kozi.rw/">Kozi</a>, an e-recruitment platform.
 
At first, he rolled his eyes. “Another job site? Great…” But something made him click.
 
Signing up was easy, and within days, things started to change.
 
Peter found job listings tailored to his skills—jobs he hadn’t seen anywhere else. And unlike before, the responses came quickly.

Now, Peter’s mornings start with purpose.
 
He’s back to his old self—optimistic, driven, and proud of how far he’s come.
And it all started with that one late-night discovery.
 
Sometimes, life throws you a lifeline when you least expect it. For Peter, that lifeline was <a href="https://kozi.rw/">Kozi</a>.

The Power of an Online Store for Rwandan Businesses.

So, you want to crack the SEO code and get your articles ranking high on Google?
 
You're in the right place! SEO isn’t about stuffing keywords everywhere, it’s about being strategic, understanding search engines, and creating content that both Google and real people love.
 
Let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense.
 
<h2>Why SEO Matters</h2>
Think of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as your ticket to online visibility. When done right, it:
<ul>
 <li>Gets your content seen by more people</li>
 <li>Brings in organic traffic (aka free visitors!)</li>
 <li>Builds credibility and trust in your niche</li>
 <li>Helps convert readers into customers</li>
</ul>
And the best part? It’s totally doable once you know the right strategies.
 
<h2>SEO Strategies to Rank Like a Pro</h2>
Want to make SEO work for you? Here’s what you need to focus on:
 
<h3>1. Find the Right Keywords (Without Overthinking It)</h3>
Before you write a single word, find the best keywords. Use tools like <a href="https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7337243?hl=en">Google Keyword Planner</a>, <a href="https://ahrefs.com/keyword-generator">Ahrefs</a>, or <a href="https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/">Ubersuggest</a> to discover high-ranking, low-competition keywords.
 
Pro tip? Focus on long-tail keywords (phrases with 3-5 words) since they’re easier to rank for.
 
<h3>2. Optimize Without Over-Optimizing</h3>
SEO is about balance—too many keywords, and Google will side-eye you. Instead, do this:
<ul>
 <li>Place keywords naturally in your title, headings, and throughout your content.</li>
 <li>Write a click-worthy meta description that includes your main keyword.</li>
 <li>Add alt text to images so search engines understand what they’re about.</li>
</ul>
<h3> </h3>
<h3>3. Make Your Content Easy to Read</h3>
Nobody likes a giant wall of text. Keep it short, snappy, and scannable:
<ul>
 <li>Use short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max!)</li>
 <li>Break up sections with bullet points (like this!)</li>
 <li>Highlight key points using bold or italics.</li>
 <li>Link to related content to keep readers engaged.</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Speed &amp; Mobile Friendliness Matter (A Lot!)</h3>
A slow, clunky website? Google hates that.
Make sure your site loads fast and looks amazing on mobile.
 
Check your site speed with <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed">Google PageSpeed Insights </a>and fix any slow-loading issues.
 
<h3>5. Get Quality Backlinks (The Right Way)</h3>
Backlinks = credibility. The more reputable sites link to you, the higher you’ll rank. The best ways to get backlinks?
<ul>
 <li>Guest post on high-quality blogs</li>
 <li>Create shareable content (like infographics or research-based articles)</li>
 <li>Build relationships with industry experts</li>
</ul>

On-Page SEO Strategies: The Breakdown

<h2>Why Writers Can’t Ignore SEO Anymore</h2>

<h2>How SEO Helps Your Clients (And You!)</h2>

Well-optimized content:
✅ Increases visibility – The higher your content ranks, the more people see it. 
✅ Drives organic traffic – More views mean more potential customers. 
✅ Boosts conversions – SEO-friendly content isn’t just informative—it’s persuasive.

<h2>Ranking = More Eyes on Your Content</h2>
Think about how you use Google.
When was the last time you clicked on page two of the search results?

The Future of Content Writing: Why Writers Need to Master SEO

Did you know that 89% of audience retention depends on your hook?
If you don’t master hooks, your writing will never grab attention or convert.
 
Why? Because your hook is the first thing your audience sees, and first impressions matter.
 
I know, it’s a lot of pressure. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
 
Here are three proven methods to craft effective hooks that will keep your readers engaged.
 
<h2>1. The PAS Method</h2>
This is the Problem - Agitate - Solution method.
With this technique, you:
<ul>
 <li>Present a problem</li>
 <li>Agitate the problem by emphasizing its impact</li>
 <li>Offer a solution</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example:</h3>
You sell prescription glasses and want to grab attention with your content.
<ul>
 <li>You're squinting and forcing your eyes to focus again?</li>
 <li>You're just damaging your eyes more, and that can lead to blindness.</li>
 <li>But early eye tests and medication can stop that.</li>
</ul>
You can be as creative as you want, as long as you follow this simple formula.
 
<h2>2. Show the Results First</h2>
People won’t stick around unless they know your content is worth their time.
 
A great way to achieve this is by starting with a result, which builds instant credibility and intrigue.
 
<h3>Example:</h3>
I helped my client make $20,000 in January; here’s how I did it.
 
This method works well for content marketing, case studies, and sales pages because it immediately signals value.
 
<h2>3. Paint a Picture with Words</h2>
Making your audience visualize something specific keeps them engaged and makes your content more memorable.
 
<h3>Example:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Imagine waking up, checking your dashboard, and seeing $10,000 in sales overnight.&nbsp;</li>
 <li>That’s the power of a great copy.</li>
</ul>
By using descriptive storytelling, you draw readers in and make them feel the experience firsthand.
 
<h2>Master Hooks, Master Engagement</h2>
Mastering these three methods will help you write engaging, high-retention content that drives conversions.
 
Whether you're writing blog posts, social media captions, or sales copy, your hook sets the stage for success.

How to Craft Hooks that Convert

If you've never heard this phrase before, you're missing out on a lot of traffic
 
Sometimes when you write a piece of content, you get no likes, comments or shares.
 
Why?
 
📍Your content did not speak to any audience
 
It did not address any pain points, goals, or desires of your audience
 
You wrote about YOU. But in content writing, you're not writing about you.
 
You're writing about your ✨AUDIENCE✨
 
So, what are your audience's pain points?
Their struggles?
Their goals?
 
Write about what THEY want to read
That's how you connect and get engagement naturally
 
📌Speak to their challenges
📌Answer their questions
📌Provide value they can’t ignore
Because at the end of the day, the best content isn’t about you, it’s about them

Stop Writing For Yourself And Start Writing For Your Audience

You’ve probably heard this quote before: “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”
 
It’s everywhere in the content writing and marketing world.
 
But wait, what does it actually mean?
 
And how do you get people to buy into your “why”?
The answer? ✨ Storytelling ✨
 
<h3>Why Storytelling Works</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Humans are emotional creatures. Sure, we like to think we make decisions based on logic, but at the end of the day, it’s all about how we feel.
 
Let me give you an example:
 
When I first moved to Lagos, I went to the market for the first time.
 
A lady selling tomatoes called me with a lovely "Ore mi!" (which means "my friend" in Yoruba).
 
I had no clue what it meant, but it felt so welcoming.
 
That tiny moment stuck with me. And just like that, I’ve been buying tomatoes from her ever since.
 
See what happened there?
 
It wasn’t about the tomatoes. It was about me feeling lonely and connecting with someone.
 
That’s what great storytelling does. It makes people feel something, and that feeling affects their choices.
 
Now, let’s break down how you can use storytelling in content writing to actually connect with your audience.
 
<h2>The Three Must-Have Storytelling Elements</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>1. The Character</h3>
Every good story needs a main character and that character can be:
<ul>
 <li>You → Use first-person POV (I, me)</li>
 <li>Your audience → Use second-person POV (you)</li>
 <li>Someone else → Use third-person POV (he, she, they)</li>
</ul>
Note: Making your audience the main character is a game-changer.
Why?
Because it helps them see themselves in your story - which is the beginning of making a connection.
 
<h3>2. The Conflict</h3>
Here’s where you really get into it.
 
Every engaging story has a problem and in content writing, this problem is your audience’s pain point.
 
Think about it:
<ul>
 <li>What’s frustrating them?</li>
 <li>What’s slowing them down?</li>
 <li>What's keeping them up at night?</li>
</ul>
That’s the conflict. And your content needs to show that struggle.
 
<h3>3. The Resolution</h3>
This is the moment for the product being sold, to shine.
 
How does your product or service solve the problem?
 
How does it make their life easier and more enjoyable?
 
When resolution is done right, this is where your audience thinks, “Oh wow, this is exactly what I need!”
 
<h3>Quick Storytelling Tips:</h3>
✅ Make it emotional by connecting to real struggles. 
✅ Keep it short, clear, and engaging. 
✅ Use words your audience actually relate with.
 
Here’s the best part: Good storytelling doesn’t just make your content more engaging, it helps it rank.
 
Think about it.
 
If your story gets people talking, sharing, and commenting, that’s exactly what search engines love.
 
More engagement = better rankings = more visibility.

The Power of Storytelling: How to Sell Without Selling

Wrote a blog post and called it a day?
 
You're leaving so much potential on the table.
 
Content is hard to create. It takes time, energy, research, and sometimes a battle with imposter syndrome.
 
But the real trick to making the best out of your content? Squeezing the absolute most out of what you already made.
 
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to come up with fresh ideas for every platform; I’ve got good news. You don’t have to.
 
Let’s talk about how you can turn one solid blog post into 10 different pieces of content that work across Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, your email list, and more.
 
No fluff. Just practical ways to work smarter, not harder.
 
Let’s get into it👇
 
<h2>HOW TO REPURPOSE YOUR BLOG POST.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>1. Into Instagram Carousel or LinkedIn Slides.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Pull out key points from your blog post and turn them into bite-sized and scroll-stopping short texts.
<ul>
 <li>Think “mini blog post” but more visual.</li>
 <li>Each slide can highlight a tip, stat, or insight.</li>
 <li>End with a CTA like “Read the full blog” or “Save for later.”</li>
</ul>
Bonus tip: Carousels and slides on Instagram &amp; LinkedIn, are great for saves and shares.
 
<h3>2. Instagram Reel or TikTok Video.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Choose one strong idea from the blog. It could be a myth to bust, a powerful tip, or a quick breakdown. Then, film a 30–60 second video around it.
<ul>
 <li>Keep it punchy and clear.</li>
 <li>Use text overlays, visual hooks and trending sounds to boost reach.</li>
 <li>Show your face if possible. There is something about talking videos that people connect &nbsp;with more.</li>
 <li>You don’t need to be a pro. People love raw, relatable content.</li>
</ul>
Video content builds trust and boosts visibility across algorithms.
 
<h3>3. Quote Graphic.</h3>

Pick a standout line or powerful takeaway from your blog and turn it into a branded graphic.
<ul>

Content Repurposing: How to Turn 1 Blog Post into 10 Strategic Pieces of Content.

"Is AI About to Take Over Your Writing Job?" - the thought that plagues our nightmares.
 
With AI tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and SurferSEO, content creation has become accessible to all.
 
These tools make it easier than ever to generate blog posts, write SEO-friendly headlines, and even match a brand's tone with just a few prompts.
 
But with all this power at our fingertips, it begs the question: If AI can write, what’s left for human writers?
 
Is this the end of human creativity, or the beginning of a new collaboration between humans and machines?
 
Let’s get into the tea👇
 
<h2>The Rise of AI in Content Creation.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
AI is changing the way we approach content creation. Tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and SurferSEO are being used for tasks like:
<ul>
 <li>Drafting blogs</li>
 <li>Writing emails</li>
 <li>Generating product descriptions</li>
 <li>Optimizing SEO content</li>
</ul>
With these tools, businesses can speed up the content creation process and lower costs.
 
But while they’re a blessing for businesses, what does this mean for us - the traditional writers?
 
<h2>How AI Can Help Writers.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
The key is not replacement, but working alongside AI.
 
Think of it as having unlimited content ideas and a 24/7 assistant.
 
With AI tools you have access to:
<ul>
 <li>Speed: AI can pump out content quickly, helping you produce more in less time.</li>
 <li>Cost-effectiveness: With AI, companies can save money by reducing the need for large teams of writers. Meaning with it, you can take on more jobs and earn more money.</li>
 <li>SEO Content: AI optimizes content perfectly for search engines, making it more likely to perform well.</li>
 <li>24/7 Availability: AI doesn’t sleep and neither do we. Lol. Meaning we always have an assistant with us.</li>
</ul>
But as great as these benefits are, AI has its limits.
 
<h2>The Limitations: Why AI Can’t Fully Replace Human Writers.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
There are some areas where AI falls short (thank God, lol because these AI benefits are many).
<ul>
 <li>Emotional Intelligence and Brand Voice: AI can mimic a tone, but it can’t replicate the emotion of a brand’s unique voice.</li>
 <li>Creativity and Storytelling: AI may be able to string words together, but it’s still lacking the creativity needed for compelling storytelling.</li>
 <li>Audience Targeting: AI can analyze data, but it doesn’t have the ability to understand a specific audience’s needs and desires like a human does.</li>
 <li>Originality: AI-generated content can sometimes feel recycled, lacking the originality that a human writer can bring to the table.</li>
</ul>
 
<h2>Should Writers Be Worried?</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Well, yes: Writers who ignore AI might find themselves left behind as the technology continues to evolve. And it is evolving FAST!
 
No: Writers who see AI as a tool to improve can thrive. AI isn’t here to replace humans; it’s here to work alongside us. Helping us be more productive and get that money.
 
<h2>How Writers Can Future-Proof Their Work (With AI).</h2>
<h2> </h2>
To stay relevant in the writing space, even with AI, writers should:
<ul>
 <li>Learn how to prompt AI: You see this, don’t play with it. Take your time to learn all the tricks and prompts so you can get the best out of AI.</li>
 <li>Shift from writer to strategist: Evolve into content strategists and AI editors, by auditing AI-generated content to ensure it aligns with a brand's voice.</li>
 <li>Focus on what humans do best: There’s no replacing us in creativity, empathy, and emotional connection. We will always be needed for storytelling and brand-building. Let's key into that.</li>
 <li>Combine AI with SEO: Writers who understand SEO and can use AI to enhance their content, will create more optimized content.</li>
</ul>
 
So, dear writers, 
AI isn’t something to fear; it’s something to embrace.
 
Instead of thinking of it as a competitor, we should see it as a partner.
 
Look at the future of content creation as humans + machines, not humans vs. machines.
 
By using AI as a tool, we can become more efficient, creative, and bag more jobs.

AI in Content Writing: Should Writers Be Worried?

Look at your last 5 content and tell yourself the truth. Did it grab your attention?
 
If you were scrolling and saw a stranger with the same content, would you stay to watch it?
 
No? Then we have a problem.
Let’s be honest with ourselves, there’s a lot of noise online.
 
We spend time scrolling and swiping away at things that don’t interest us.
 
So how do you make someone stop scrolling and pay attention to your content?
It all starts with a hook. That is:
<ol>
 <li>The first line</li>
 <li>The first video clip</li>
 <li>Or the first visual…</li>
</ol>
That grabs your watcher/reader by the eyeballs and says:
“You’re going to enjoy watching this.”
 
And if your hook fails to grab your watcher or reader?
 
Well, it doesn’t matter how great the rest of your content is, they never stayed long enough to see it.
 
Let’s fix that up right now.
By talking about the most common hook mistakes content creators make and how you can start fixing them today.
 
<h2>Mistake 1: Your Hook Is Too Vague.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Have you ever watched a post for 5 seconds and still didn't understand what the post was about?
 
That’s the problem with vague hooks.
They don’t give people a reason to care for the rest of the content.
 
Why being vague is reducing watcher/reader retention:
<ul>
 <li>People are busy. They need to know what’s in it for them fast.</li>
</ul>
Don’t stress your watchers.
 
Make them know what they are gaining from watching you.
 
What to do instead:
<ul>
 <li>Get specific and make your promise of value clear and concrete.</li>
</ul>
Example: “This hack helped me triple my Tiktok engagement in two weeks.”
 
The value is there, it targets people who want to achieve the same thing, and it has a promised timeline.
 
Perfect hook.
 
<h2>Mistake 2: Taking Too Long to Get to the Point.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
In the words of an old meme: Ain't nobody got no time for that.
 
If your content takes 15 seconds to warm up, you’ve already lost ‘em.
You've lost me sincerely😒
 
Why taking too long ruins your content:
<ul>
 <li>On Reels and TikTok, you’ve got maybe 2–3 seconds to hook someone.</li>
 <li>Long intros = zero watcher retention.</li>
</ul>
What to do instead:
<ul>
 <li>Start with action, emotion, or a bold statement.</li>
</ul>
Example: “I helped my client triple their lead generation by doing this one thing!”
 
This would definitely grab my attention; because it has a promised value and targets people.
 
A good hook.
 
<h2>Mistake #3: Going Full Clickbait.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
You’ve seen those skincare content that start with:
“You’ll NEVER believe this trick!”
 
And then the “trick” is… drink water? Seriously?
 
That pisses people off because you technically wasted their time.
 
Why it stops working after a while:
<ul>
 <li>It kills trust.</li>
</ul>
People are not getting hyped up to watch your content only to hear basic facts.
<ul>
 <li>People swipe away fast and platforms notice.</li>
</ul>
And when people don't trust you, they swipe fast.
 
And platforms notice this and stop pushing out your videos.
 
What to do instead:
<ul>
 <li>Hype it up honestly.</li>
</ul>
Get actual tips that help people. Not just basic stuff.
<ul>
 <li>Make sure your hook matches the value of your content.</li>
</ul>
Like I said, help people.
 
<h2>Mistake 4: Forgetting About a Visual or Audio Hook.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
Yes, we want to hook people with words.
 
But in this present world of unending content, people need more to grab their attention.
Do something with the video. Start with a zoom, a shake.
 
<a href="https://www.capcut.com/my-edit?from_page=landing_page">Capcut</a> has lots of video effects that can act as a video hook. Try them out!
 
Why just word hooks don't work all the time:
<ul>
 <li>Platforms like TikTok and Reels are built on visuals and sound.</li>
</ul>
So we have to capitalize on that.
<ul>
 <li>If the first frame is boring, they’re out.</li>
</ul>
Yea, humans have become hard to please in the world of content.
 
What to do instead:
<ul>
 <li>Think visually. Add quick cuts, bold on-screen text, or trending sounds.</li>
</ul>
Utilize <a href="https://www.capcut.com/my-edit?from_page=landing_page">Capcut</a> very well. You want to GRAB attention, not beg your watchers for it.
 
We’ve all made these mistakes at some point. But the key is learning and adjusting.
 
Because when you get your hook right? People stop, stay till the end, and engage.

The Biggest Hook Mistakes Content Creators Make (And How to Fix Them).

Picture this: you’ve just landed in Kigali, expecting the usual energy of a city. You see some traffic, streets filled with business people, and the usual city noise.
 
But then someone points you toward a building tucked behind a garden wall. You walk in, and suddenly, the noise fades.
 
The air smells clean like fresh herbs, and a soft breeze moves through open windows.
There's a shelf lined with handmade soaps, art, and eco-friendly goods.
 
And the first “Muraho” you hear is not a scripted greeting, but a warm and welcoming:
“We’re happy to have you here.”
 
Welcome to Hi-Pima, an eco-friendly hotel in Kigali that feels less like a business and more like a gentle invitation to pause and enjoy the Rwandan culture in style.
 
Whether you’re a traveler, a returning Rwandan, an innovative artist, or a local craving a peaceful escape in Kigali, Hi-Pima offers more than just a place to relax, sleep, or eat.
 
It offers a new way to experience the beauty and joy of Rwanda.
 
<h2>One Roof, Three Purposes: Boutique, Hotel, Restaurant.</h2>
The idea behind Hi-Pima began was a simple but powerful question:
What if sustainability wasn’t just part of the picture, but the whole painting?
 
So we built something rare: one roof, three beautiful experiences that work in harmony.
 
Here’s how they come together:
<ul>
 <li>A Hotel: 
Cozy, minimal, and full of thoughtful detail. Perfect for travelers who care about comfort, what they support, and how they show up in the world.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
 <li>A Kigali Vegan Restaurant: 
If you’ve never had vegan food with a Rwandan twist, prepare to be surprised. For example, our colorful bowl with quinoa, avocado, black beans, corn, and lime, and desserts that somehow taste like sunshine.</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
 <li>A Zero-Waste Shop: 
Shelves full of handcrafted, local, and waste-free goods. From bamboo toothbrushes and refillable natural oils to wine bottle candles. Each with a story behind it. 
 
Jewelry made by Rwandan artisans and creatives to journals made from recycled milk boxes. Everything here reflects care, craft, and culture.</li>
</ul>
This isn’t just sustainability or eco-friendliness on the side. It’s woven into every step, every dish and every design choice.
 
<h3>Rwanda’s First Zero-Waste and Vegan Experience.</h3>
Hi-Pima is proudly Rwanda’s first space to combine a fully zero-waste shop with a full-service vegan restaurant, and it’s changing how people think about sustainability.
 
Visitors often find themselves surprised, even moved, by the level of intention here.
 
Take someone like a tourist from Nairobi who walked in for a quick lunch and ended up buying a candle made from a wine bottle.
 
And the artist? A local who collects bottles from Hi-Pima and gives them a second life.
 
Here’s just a taste of how sustainable living in Rwanda comes to life at Hi-Pima:
<ul>
 <li>A bottle reuse program that turns trash into treasure.</li>
 <li>Milk-box journals that make waste useful again.</li>
 <li>Leather-free shoes made from pineapple leaves.</li>
 <li>Soaps, oils, and home products that are refillable, natural, and locally sourced.</li>
</ul>
Every item supports a shift toward eco-conscious tourism in Rwanda, and every purchase feels personal, like a conversation with the artist.
 
<h3>Hi-Pima: For Locals and Tourists Alike.</h3>
Hi-Pima is for everyone. Not just travelers with checklists, but also for:
<ul>
 <li>The Kigali couple looking for something new to do on a Friday night.</li>
 <li>A group of conference attendees wandering in between meetings for a vegan lunch, only to stay for the herbal tea and purchase locally made art.</li>
 <li>The local artist who drops by for coffee and leaves with inspiration.</li>
</ul>
One night might feature a ‘Paint &amp; Dine’ event where you fine dine while painting, and enjoy vegan cuisine.
 
Another day might bring a group of curious tourists learning how to reuse materials in everyday life.
 
Because Hi-Pima isn’t a transaction, it’s a space for connection, learning, and supporting local artists through travel.
 
It’s what happens when culture meets sustainability in the most unforced, honest way.
 
<h3>Exploring Rwanda with Hi-Pima Begins Here.</h3>
This place, this little corner of Kigali, is more than just the first zero-waste shop and vegan restaurant.
 
It’s a place where a green lifestyle becomes less of a niche and more of a norm.
 
Whether you’re:
<ul>
 <li>A tourist looking for a cultural experience.</li>
 <li>A local looking to experience a different part of Kigali.</li>
 <li>A returning Rwandan ready to reconnect through culture.</li>
 <li>Or simply someone who believes in supporting local artists.</li>
</ul>
Hi-Pima is waiting for you.
 
You’ll find eco-friendly products that help you feel healthier, art that tells stories, and food that’s grown with love.
 
This isn’t just a place to visit. It’s a movement you can be part of.

Where to Eat Vegan in Kigali: A Traveler’s Guide to Local Flavor and Sustainability.

Ever walked into a store labeled “eco-friendly” only to find overpriced products wrapped in plastic?
 
Yeah, we’ve been there too.
Living sustainably and eco - conscious in Kigali shouldn't feel impossible.
 
And yet, so many people still struggle and ask questions like:
<ul>
 <li>“Are there affordable, local eco-products that actually work?”</li>
 <li>“Do I really have to choose between beautiful art and sustainable art?”</li>
</ul>
No you don’t.
We built <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hi.pima/">Hi-Pima</a> because a zero-waste shop could feel more like a community space than a store.
 
A place where eco-friendly shopping felt like a connection and not an overwhelming chore.
 
<h2>What “Zero-Waste” Means to Us.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
For us, the zero-waste lifestyle in Rwanda is not about perfection, it’s about intentional choices.
 
That means:
<ul>
 <li>Saying “no” to single-use plastic</li>
 <li>Minimizing packaging waste by designing systems that prioritize refill, reuse, and compost.</li>
</ul>
In Rwanda, where waste infrastructure is still evolving and urban consumption is on the rise, this mindset is crucial.
 
That’s why everything at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/107367898/admin/dashboard/">Hi-Pima</a> supports the circular economy in Kigali—from the way we package products to how you interact with them in your daily life.
 
<h2>What Makes Hi-Pima’s Zero-Waste Shop Different.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
We didn’t just want a shop. We wanted a solution that works for real people living real lives in Kigali.
 
Here’s how we do things differently:
 
<h3>A. Reuse as a System, Not a Trend.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
You’ve probably seen those beautiful bottles of bath oils, soy candles, and infused body sprays.
 
What you might not realize is that many of them started life as reused liquor or wine bottles, collected from around Kigali.
 
Here’s how it works:
<ul>
 <li>We collect used glass bottles from local bars and homes.</li>
 <li>We professionally clean and prepare the bottles for reuse.</li>
 <li>Then, we give them to local artists who turn them into new products.</li>
</ul>
It’s a reuse program by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hi.pima/">Hi-Pima</a> which helps reduce waste, support local entrepreneurship, and give new life to what would otherwise be landfill-bound.
 
<h3>B. Locally Made, Chemical-Free Wellness Products.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
You told us you were tired of imported chemical-heavy products that aren’t made for African skin, hair, or climate. And we listened.
<ul>
 <li>Our body care and wellness products are chemical-free, locally-made, and ingredient-transparent.</li>
 <li>Think: handmade soaps, herbal powders, and natural oils.</li>
</ul>
They’re safe, honest, and designed for everyday Rwandan life.
 
<h3>C. Looking Good and Living Green.</h3>
<h3> </h3>
Who says going green can’t look good too?
That’s why we’re intentional about aesthetics as much as ethics.
 
You’ll find:
<ul>
 <li>Recycled milk-box journals</li>
 <li>Stylish pineapple-leaf leather shoes</li>
 <li>And other Rwandan-made gifts that are as stylish as they are conscious.</li>
</ul>
Everything is curated to reflect both the functionality and the artistry of the Rwandan culture.
 
At Hi-Pima, every purchase is a vote for a greener, more ethical Kigali.
 
Whether you’re starting your green lifestyle journey or deep into a plastic-free lifestyle, Hi-Pima offers a space that reflects your values.

Inside Kigali’s First Zero-Waste Shop: What Makes Our Shop Different.

Before we wrote books, our people passed stories through rhythm, movement, and song.
 
Traditional Rwandan dances like the Intore are one of the oldest ways Rwandans have shared joy, honored warriors, and celebrated life.
 
These dances are still with us today not as performances for tourists, but as part of who we are.
 
Each style carries a story about land, people, and the values we continue to live by.
 
<h2>Three Dances, Three Stories.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h3>1. Ikinimba:</h3>
<h3> </h3>
This dance comes from the Byumba region in Northern Rwanda.
 
It’s full of joy and movement and is usually performed during harvest or happy times.
 
You’ll notice the strong steps, fast rhythm, and proud energy. It's about celebration.
 
<h3>2. Ikinyemera:</h3>
<h3> </h3>
This one is soft, graceful, and slow. It’s inspired by cows, which are deeply respected in Rwandan culture.
 
You’ll see the dancers move with care and pride. It’s a dance for moments of thanks, and it often brings calm to those watching.
 
<h3>3. Umutahano:</h3>
<h3> </h3>
This is the warrior’s dance. Only Intore dancers perform it.
 
Every move has meaning from battle chants to steps that show courage and strength.
 
It's a dance that remembers our history of bravery and honor.
 
<h2>A Cultural Evening You Shouldn’t Miss.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
You don’t have to travel across the country to experience this.
 
All three dances will be performed live at “The Night of Cultural Heritage” on June 28, 2025, from 6PM to 8PM in Kigali.
 
There’ll also be a chance to ask questions and learn more about what each movement means.
 
This is more than an event, it's a moment to reconnect with Rwanda’s roots and celebrate what makes our culture timeless.
