"When I was still unmarried and at home, I started raring two chicken and by the time I was leaving home after I had gotten married, I had close to one hundred of them. I later sold half of the chicken and bought a cattle for my parents while the remaining ones continued to multiply. Today as we speak my parents have a steady cash flow from the poultry project of mine and sometimes they surprise me with a token of appreciation. This for me is the greatest achievement of my life "
