What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We would like to build a new house because this one is not decent. We would also like to buy some dairy cows that will produce large quantities of milk for consumption as well as for sale.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of was owning a better house than the one I used to occupy before. This is because I used to stay in a leaky thatched roofed house that was almost collapsing.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our biggest hardship has been to live without a toilet that can serve my family especially during night time.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm happiest in the morning when I'm able to go to work to fend for my family.
