What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I have all the skills required to do farming and on that note, I am planning to invest in horticultural farming so that some day I may sell the goods produced to a nearby market center to help me have my daily bread.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My greatest achievement that I'm proud of so far is that I labored and constructed my own house and to date I'm an independent person who the society recognizes as a capable man!
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I separated with my spouse and I have then found it hard to bring up my children alone. It's a big challenge as I am responsible for doing everything back in the house.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning when I receive news from anyone connecting me to a job that would earn me some cash by the end of the day. This is so because money is everything and is all I count on to feed my family.
