What did you spend your third transfer on?
My old house had worn out iron sheets that were leaking and was I was scared the winds might blow it off any time. So when I received my second transfer, I bought one of the most expensive iron sheets in the market and constructed a nice new house. When my third transfer arrived, I embarked on construction of the house. My house is so unique in the whole village. It is the only house with galsheet iron sheets, blue. I am so happy and excited when I look at my house. It warms my heart.

When I received my second transfer, I started constructing an iron-roofed house of 40 iron sheets. My former house that my late husband left behind had become too old to offer us comfort that we needed in life.
