What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I have plans of using the transfer in paying school fees for my children, building a new house because the one I'm having is quiet small to fit my family and to buy some cattle for rearing purposes.

I have been ailing for a long time and the sickness is still on, it has rendered me weak and I'm off and on the hospital and most of the times I have to undergo a blood transfusion process to survive.

My happiest part of the day is in the evening when we share a meal with my family members.
