What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a better house that will accommodate my family as I will buy twenty iron sheets and some timber, I will also venture into farming as I will buy four goats, three sheep and a cow and the remaining amount I will spend on buying a fishing net and a boat that I will use in starting a fishing business.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that I was able to get myself a wife and start a family with her and this makes me proud.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that face financial difficulties as I never attended college so I can't say that I have done anything that I can say I am skilled at so I am forced to do any casual job that I get and this is paying very little hence am not able to support my family adequately.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning and I am able to plough it so that it can be ready for planting. This makes me happy as in the end I will have food to feed my family.
