What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use my transfer on farming. I want to do groundnuts because it fetches good money in the market and can help me buy cows in future. I also want to expand my house because I have a large family and my house is small.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I managed to educate my children through hard work.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of reliable source of income. I have so many dependants because my children died and left many orphans but I have no sufficient funds to educate and feed them.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up. I am always happy to know that God has allowed me to see another day and I am able to do my daily tasks.
