    Dear Peter,

    You become a part of the problem when you take a loan with no intention to repay it Peter. It takes funds away from others who do abide by the rules put in place to preserve as much funding as possible for all borrowers and leanders. How long would your business last if you provided goods or services and no one paid ? Please be responsible and step up and make the payments on your loan.

    Kind regards,
    Joost

    Hi Peter,
    how do you grow yam? Do you have to plant it and fertilize it or is it growing in the wild?
