What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I would like to spend it on buying a second hand mortobike that will be used as a taxi since it is an additional source of income for me.I will also open a shop for my spouse because it will keep her busy as she will be selling goods.Lastly,I will buy some sheeps because they require less resources to raise.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I can say I am proudest of is that when I was working as taxi driver in town,I saved some money and later on used it to buy some iron sheets that I've kept and that I'm planning to use in the near future to build a new elegant house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is how to find a better job that can enable me support my family financially.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I'm all alone with my spouse in a quite environment as we tell stories while making funny jokes.
