What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend the transfer on cereals to boost my cereals business in the market. Currently, I am trading in cereals but I don't have the capacity to trade large scale.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is the payment of school fees for my son through secondary school after his father's death.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of money to effectively sustain my cereals business. Sometimes I have to beg suppliers to sell to me on credit, and most of the time they are not willing.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is the morning when I am working in my vegetable garden at home.
