What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
I will use this money to invest in a cloth selling business which I believe will bring me good income and make me prosper economically. Secondly, I will use this money to support my two children in order to get good education and pay their fees in school. I will also use this money to build as house in my rural home since I still doesn't have one and it's important to have a house as a man.
Describe your biggest worry.
My most troubling worry is always about housing whereby paying up for my rent on time has always been a burden to me given that my job is always a casual one that lacks financial assurity and many of the times that I don't go for work I am unable to pay for my rent. This do makes my landlord to most of the times lock up my house. The worry of being unable to meet my daily needs like food is also a trouble to me. Lack of enough money do make me unable to get enough food for my house.
What are your greatest ambitions?
My ambition is to start up clothes business and to ensure that it's successful so that I will be self-employed and not to be looking for employment daily.
Describe your usual day. How do you spend your time?
In my usual day, I do go for my hustles at Easleigh where I work as a loader and at times may do any kind of casual jobs available up to evening then return home. While in my free time I do just relax in the house or hang out with friends and also may go for movies.
