About Me

Well, i am a young and energetic guy and most self motivated Guy.
In my childhood, i have been an active child always ready to help parents with domestic and other activities.
I was also taken to school and got an opportunity to excel in different areas co curricular activities including, football and athletic. My parents were farmers and practiced mixed farming and rearing livestock like cows and goats. As a firstborn in a family of 2 boys and 3 girls, ,I grew up while taking care of all the others and being a role model. So i was the educated to a secondary level where my parents started struggling with the burden of my other siblings.
I did not beyond secondary school due to fees problems. My parents could tell me to wait but my age was really worrying. Later on i went to my uncle in town where i could help him in his business of selling accessories and other services. I was exited to start working and i ready to learn the language of business. After sometimes, my uncle relocated and left me with some little stock. I got a soft loan from my Aunt to add more stock and my uncle gave me a go ahead to operate the business as mine. Today i manage to meet my expenses out of this business. This is how i came to own a business. What is unique about the land i stay is that, community supports and embrace one another at all levels of life. My children would want to be brought up well and be educated to be future entrepreneurs. My unique hobby that i love most is preaching peace, cohesion and integration among the people in the society.
Thank you.
