What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I bought an acre piece of land and built a semi-permanent house of 24 iron sheets in my own home. The money has given me a home, my major pride.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that since I built and moved to my own home, I have acquired peace. Living with in-laws in the same compound is very challenging-most of the time, you find yourself crossing one another's path or fighting over some trivial issues of all which interfere with peaceful co-existence and good relationship.
