If the only reason you're coming to Upkazi Academy is Facebook monetization, please don't waste your $100. 🙅🏽‍♂️

Let me make this very clear.

Upkazi Academy does not monetize people.

We have never promised to monetize someone's page.

We have never trained people for the purpose of getting them a Facebook monetization invitation.

And we did not build Upkazi Academy because Facebook monetization existed.

We've been teaching and building around technology and digital skills for years. Facebook monetization is only one opportunity that has appeared along the way.

Even today, Facebook's Content Monetization access can be invite-only. We cannot press a button and monetize your page. Nobody at Upkazi Academy has a secret button that can make Facebook invite your account.

Even Charlie Brian, as the instructor, was only monetized recently through an invitation from Facebook.

So if your entire reason for paying $100 is:

"I want Upkazi to monetize my page."

Please don't register.

That is not what we sell.

What we teach is much bigger than one platform.

We teach AI tools, digital marketing, content creation, Canva, copywriting, social media management, Meta Ads, affiliate marketing, freelancing, personal branding, online business and other practical digital skills.

Because monetization is not only Facebook.

When you have a skill, you can monetize the skill.

When you can create content, you can monetize your content.

When you can market a business, you can get paid for marketing.

When you can design, write, edit, build websites, manage social media or work with AI, you can create opportunities around those skills.

That is what I want people to understand.

Don't come to Upkazi Academy looking for someone to press a monetization button for you.

Come because you want to learn something you can actually use.

And if the only thing you have heard is:

"South Sudan is not monetized."

"Facebook doesn't pay here."

"So there is no reason to learn."

Then you are completely missing the bigger picture.

Facebook is one platform.

Your skills are bigger than one platform.

So before you spend your $100, ask yourself:

Am I coming to learn a skill, or am I coming expecting someone to monetize me?

If it's the second one, save your money.

If it's the first one, you're welcome.

It’s better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.

An opportunity can come at any time. The question is: will you be ready?

Many people spend a lot of time waiting for opportunities.

“I just need someone to give me a chance.”

“I just need one opportunity.”

“I just need someone to notice me.”

But there is another side people don't talk about.

What happens when the opportunity finally comes?

If you have been preparing, you can take it.

If you haven't been preparing, you may watch it pass.

That is why I would rather spend my time learning, practicing, building skills and gaining experience even when there is no opportunity in front of me.

Learn the skill before you need it.

Build the portfolio before someone asks for it.

Practice communicating before the big meeting.

Learn the technology before the opportunity requires it.

Build your network before you need someone.

Create before people start watching.

Because sometimes the opportunity doesn't give you enough time to prepare.

It simply arrives and asks whether you are ready.

This is also one of the reasons we focus so much on practical skills at Upkazi Academy.

Our next Practical Digital Marketing & AI Training starts Monday, 28th September and covers a lot, including AI tools, digital marketing, content creation, Canva, social media management, Meta Ads, copywriting, freelancing, affiliate marketing, personal branding, online business and monetization.

The goal is not simply to wait for an opportunity.

The goal is to become prepared enough to recognize and use one when it comes.

The training is available physically in Juba and online.

Course fee: $100 USD
Half payment is allowed.
SSP is also accepted.

You may not have the opportunity today.

But when it comes, make sure you are not the reason you miss it.

Prepare now.

📢 THIS IS WHAT PRACTICAL LEARNING LOOKS LIKE

One of our current students is already putting the skills she is learning at Upkazi Academy into real work — and she hasn't even finished the training yet.

She has already worked on her Google Business Profile, claiming her business, completing the setup and going through the verification process to get her business properly established on Google.

She has also started using ChatGPT and AI in her actual work, including preparing her quarterly HR report, organizing her work and responding to auditors more professionally.

This is exactly what we mean by practical digital skills.

Learn it. Practice it. Apply it.

And we still have much more to cover.

Building Digital Skills For The Future

12/09/2026

Some of you discovered technology yesterday and woke up this morning thinking you are the authority on it.

Let’s be serious.

Some of us were already using computers when we were children.

Before AI became a trending topic.

Before everyone started talking about social media.

Before people started putting “AI Engineer,” “Data Scientist,” “Ethical Hacker,” “Computer Engineer” and “Digital Expert” in their bios.

We were already learning, experimenting, building, breaking things, fixing them and figuring out how technology works.

So don't confuse something you discovered recently with something other people have been working with for over a decade.

And this is where some things become funny.

You get a scholarship.

You travel to India, or somewhere else.

You study.

Good.

That is an opportunity. And if you completed your studies, that is an achievement.

But what did you come back with?

What have you developed?

What problem have you solved?

What have you built for South Sudan?

Who have you trained?

What business have you created?

What opportunities have you created for other people?

What can people actually point to and say, “This person built this”?

Because putting impressive titles in your bio is easy.

Talking is easy.

Criticizing somebody else's work is even easier.

Building something that actually works is different.

And I also see people blindly following this kind of behavior.

Look at the content some people consistently produce.

Today it is a meme.

Tomorrow it is comedy.

The next day it is football.

Then another random viral post.

Then suddenly they discover an AI tool, use it for two weeks, generate a few basic pieces of content and start presenting themselves like they have become the world's leading authority on AI.

There is nothing wrong with memes, football or entertainment.

But if your entire online presence has no clear value, no organized knowledge, no meaningful work, no research, no projects and nothing people can actually learn from, then you should be careful about presenting yourself as an authority while spending your time criticizing people who are actually producing.

Don't just put “AI,” “Bachelor,” “Master's,” “PhD,” “Engineer” or whatever title in your profile and expect the title to do the talking for you.

Show the work.

If you understand AI, show us what you have built with it.

If you understand technology, build something.

If you understand business, build a business.

If you understand development, develop something.

If you understand social media, start from here.

Build a page from South Sudan.

Create content from here.

Grow it from here.

Get it monetized from here.

Let's see what you can actually do.

Do something for the country.

Create something people can use.

Solve a real problem.

Train people.

Develop a platform.

Build a system.

Create opportunities.

We are surrounded by people trying to build and develop from here. Come and show us what you can do.

And then there is this “fake followers” argument.

If you are so certain that other people's followers are fake, don't just point at my page and type “fake followers.”

Prove it.

Create your own page.

Put millions of those supposedly “fake” followers on it.

Get them engaging.

Get the page monetized.

Show us the dashboard.

Show us the results.

Show South Sudan.

Show everyone.

That is a challenge.

Don't just make the claim.

Demonstrate the claim.

If you genuinely understand technology, AI, data and social media systems, prove the argument you are making.

Research it.

Analyze it.

Bring the evidence.

Explain your methodology.

Don't just throw technical words into a comment section because you don't understand something.

That is not expertise.

That is vocabulary.

And if you are going to claim that you can manipulate or hack systems, don't make reckless claims about somebody else's account. Demonstrate your legitimate technical skills in an authorized environment.

The point is simple:

Stop telling us what you know. Show us what you can produce.

Because some people seem to spend more energy monitoring other people's success than building their own.

When everything is going well, they are quiet.

When people are learning, they are quiet.

When thousands of people are discussing something positively, they are quiet.

When the work is being recognized, they are quiet.

But let them find one thing they think they can attack.

Suddenly they appear.

“Your earnings are too low.”

“Fake followers.”

“Fake this.”

“Fake that.”

Brother, at this point, you are not even criticizing my work.

You are monitoring it.

I won't block you.

Keep watching.

You are a fan.

A very committed one.

You check the numbers.

You check the earnings.

You read the comments.

You keep coming back.

And apparently, you have made monitoring my work part of your daily routine.

But there is something else I find funny.

Some people come to another person's page making loud claims because they know that getting attention from a page with a large audience can make their own name more visible.

You want your name noticed?

Fine.

You want people talking about you?

Fine.

But don't expect me to give you the kind of popularity you were looking for.

If I put your comment alongside the actual evidence, the dashboard, the results, the millions of views, the earnings and the people positively responding to the work, people can judge the situation for themselves.

I don't need to insult you.

I don't need to block you.

I don't need to delete your comments.

I can simply leave the evidence there.

You wanted attention from my page.

Now people can see what you came here to say.

And they can also see what I have actually been building.

That is a very different kind of visibility.

So keep watching.

Keep commenting.

But every time you make a claim, be prepared for the same simple question:

Where is your proof?

While you are watching what I am building, don't forget to build something yourself.

I have built platforms for Africa.

I have trained thousands of people.

I have been recognized and featured by media beyond South Sudan.

I have people from different countries following my work, learning from my content and engaging with what I share.

And no, my audience is not limited to South Sudan.

The people learning from my work are not all South Sudanese.

I am building for an African and global audience.

So don't look at the population of South Sudan and assume that is the limit of my audience.

The internet does not work that way.

If people in different countries find value in what you create, they can follow you, learn from you and support your work regardless of where you live.

That is exactly why I keep building.

And there is something bigger here for South Sudan.

We need to learn how to give credit where credit is deserved.

If someone is doing something good, acknowledge it.

If someone is building something useful, support it.

If someone makes a mistake, criticize the mistake.

If someone is doing something wrong, call it out.

But don't make jealousy the standard by which you judge people's work.

If someone is from your tribe, that does not automatically make everything they do right.

If someone is from another tribe, that does not automatically make everything they do wrong.

Judge the work.

Judge the ideas.

Judge the contribution.

Give credit where it is deserved.

South Sudan is bigger than our tribes.

Imagine what we could build if we stopped looking at each other through tribal lines and started asking one simple question:

What can this person contribute?

Because the country does not need more people competing over who can criticize the loudest.

It needs people who can build.

So here is my simple challenge:

Build something for South Sudan.

Build something for Africa.

Solve something.

Train someone.

Create something.

Make something work.

And if you are still convinced that millions of followers can simply be created, made to engage and generate revenue through whatever methods you claim to understand, then stop pointing at my page.

Go and demonstrate it on your own page.

Get the millions.

Get the engagement.

Get it monetized.

Show us the results.

Then come back.

Until then, don't expect me to take a comment seriously simply because it came from someone who put a technical title in their bio.

I won't block you.

Keep watching.

But while you watch me build, remember that watching is not building.

Some South Sudanese talk about things they don't understand, and that is simply ignorance talking.

I have over 2 million followers, and I have never run a single ad campaign specifically for followers.

Yet someone who has never built an audience will confidently say:

“You paid for all those followers.”

Okay. Let's think about that for a second.

Do you even know how Facebook advertising works?

If I run an ad and tell Facebook I want people to follow my Page, Facebook doesn't have a warehouse somewhere with millions of followers waiting to be delivered.

People see the content.

They decide whether they like what they see.

They decide whether they want to follow.

And if nobody is interested, you can spend $10, $100 or $1,000 and still get disappointing results.

Nobody follows you simply because you paid Facebook.

You still need something that makes people want to follow you.

And here's another simple question.

If you believe I paid for millions of followers, have you ever calculated what that would actually cost?

Let's assume, just for illustration, that acquiring one follower cost even $0.50.

Two million followers would already represent $1 million.

At $1 per follower, that's $2 million.

So according to this theory, I apparently spent millions of dollars buying followers.

And for those who keep saying:

“Those are fake followers. Bots. You bought them online.”

Okay.

Go and buy them.

I'm serious.

If you believe millions of fake followers can simply be purchased and they will behave like this, go and buy them.

Then let's see.

Because these so-called “fake followers” are somehow watching my content, generating views, reacting to posts, commenting, following, and interacting with the Page.

Facebook even gave me a 28-day challenge to reach 300,000 views, and I completed that challenge in less than 2 days.

So if these are all bots, how exactly are they doing all of that?

Or what exactly is your brain trying to tell you?

And there is another thing people conveniently ignore.

People compare my audience with creators who call themselves South Sudanese, but many of them are actually building their pages from Uganda, Kenya, the United States, Australia, Egypt and other countries.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But I'm talking about something different.

I'm building from inside South Sudan.

I'm here.

I'm creating from here.

I'm running businesses from here.

I'm building an audience from here.

And I'm currently the only creator who has actually gone through Facebook's monetization process and approved while operating from inside South Sudan.

So when people keep saying, “Someone else has more followers,” that's fine.

Show me the comparison.

Show me the person building from inside South Sudan with millions of followers, creating consistently, generating these kinds of views, and actually monetized from inside the country.

I'm not saying nobody else can do it.

I'm saying show me.

And this is exactly why I keep telling people:

Don't argue about things you have never taken time to understand.

You have Google.

You have AI.

You have Facebook's own documentation.

You can research how advertising, followers, organic reach, paid reach, engagement and monetization actually work before coming to the comment section with confidence.

This is also why we teach digital marketing and AI at Upkazi Academy.

We don't just tell students, “Go and run ads.”

We teach them how advertising works, how audiences behave, how targeting works, how to create content people actually want, how to get PayPal, supported Visa or Mastercard, and how to understand the numbers behind campaigns.

Because when you understand the system, you stop making assumptions.

You don't have to like me.

You don't have to follow me.

You don't even have to agree with what I do.

But if you're going to criticize it, at least understand it first.

Otherwise, sometimes it's not an expert giving an opinion.

It's simply ignorance talking very loudly.

And to those who are still monitoring everything I do...

Please take care of your heart.

Because you won't survive from heart attack.
