Your best budget this year is your "Training & Personal Development Budget".Train for better daily income this year - Start Early, Start Now. Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!).

Mr. Tangwam has a very solid point on this when it comes to navigating with maps whereby the people using it doesn’t have any confidence as to whether the map they are using is accurate or inaccurate. The trust issues are many, hence the maps should meet that standards whereby it can be trusted and patronized.

Exactly! A map is only as good as its accuracy and the trust users have in it. If the data's off or unreliable, it can lead to more problems than solutions . It's like having a GPS that sends you down a rabbit hole.

Thanks very much Moses ,you are truly a genius .Yes it is absolutely right that most people who predominantly use maps do not to a large extent trust it .They cannot really tell whether or not the maps they are using is accurate .I am of the view that these maps should undoubtedly meet the standards that will accord an immeasurable level of trust .

A map's value lies in its reliability and trustworthiness, especially when it comes to utility-grade geospatial standards. If users can't trust the map's data, it's indeed pretty useless.

I believe Moses is right , a map is just a drawing if you can’t trust the information on it .I love the point about trust , if the workers don’t trust the map they won’t use it. By making sure the digital map matches the real world, Moses is showing how we can finally hold everyone accountable. Very practical advice!"

Well spoken my fellow geomatician, am very sure a lot has been learnt from this brief interview.

God bless you for sharing.

True! Without trust, even the best map loses its value. Standards make it usable and reliable.

Mr Moses, your submission is on point, especially with ECG losses due to their inefficiencies. A robustic utility geospatial databse is eminent in 21st century, with real time update. In the case of ECG, a reliable ultility asset geospatial databse will serves as the fundamental core of their operations. A map is indeed 'dead' when it fails to answer the needs of its users.
