What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having been able to provide food, shelter and clothing for my two families , I have a large family because I was polygamous, my first wife died in 2012 and since then I have been able to cater for the needs of her children and my second wife's children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?

The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am taking stock of how my day was.
