What did you spend your first transfer on?
I bought 8 pieces of iron sheets. Settled some debts. I also bought my children in primary school uniforms.

I'm planning to enlarge my house because it is too small. I'm also planning to cement both floor and walls of my house. This will ensure my house get free from dust and save me too from frequent walls and floor repairs..

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use the transfer to lease land for farming, set up fish business and build a bigger house because I have a large family and my house is small. It's the same house I use as a kitchen during rainy seasons.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I worked hard to buy household furniture that I am currently using.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing in life is lack of money to provide the needs of my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up. This is because I have not faced any challenges to make me unhappy.
