What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to purchase four bulls and an ox plough so as to enhance my work as a farmer, boost my fish vending business and plaster my house to save me the energy and time for smearing.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
Our proudest achievement is that we currently own an iron roof house after living in a grass thatched house for over twenty years.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face in life is poverty. We lack reliable sources of income as we heavily rely on farming which is very unpredictable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I am thanking God for allowing me to see a new day.
