What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I would like to spend a portion of my transfer on school fees. I would also like to purchase two bulls and an ox-plough that will aid in farming. Lastly, I stay some few kilometers away from the main source of water hence I would like to buy a donkey that will help me transport water from the source to my compound.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I would say owning an iron roofed house is my proudest achievement because I used to stay in a grass thatched house before.

My biggest hardship has been to raise school fees because I'm jobless.

I'm happiest in the morning while working in my farm because it gives me hopes of getting a good harvest.
