About Me

I was born in a family of five children compromising of four boys and one girl.I am a fourth born.I went to my primary education but when itinto secondary education my father passed away .since he was the bread winner I was forced to drop from school due to lack of school fees.
This became a challenge to me since no one of my family could raise my school fees.i was forced to to look for casual labour here and there.The little I got I paid my school fees until I completed my secondary education.
since I couldn't raise university fees I opted to continue with casual labour savings a little .
With time I had saved enough to purchase a motorbike taxi to operate in the village where modern form of the transport is not available.
my little boy wish to be a journalist particularly a news reporter .reading novels and making new friends makes my past time

My Business

I have now ventured into transport business where by am operating an online taxi service as a taxidriver.
But am short of finance to smoothly run this business efficiently,thats why am coming to zidisha to beg for a loan .With the loan I will inject into this business to acquire all the documents needed by authority by doing this I will be able to carry out the business without fear of arrest or intimidation by authority...To secure my business I intend to use the remainder to install a security camera and an alarm device in the vehicle.Not forgetting to insure the vehicle against accident and theft.

Project Proposal

The pandemic taught us some lessons,One of the lesson was that you should be able to diversify into many business project.Thats why I decided to start the online taxi business which is coming along well .
All that said and done I will like to secure the tool of trade well..Am requesting for this loan inorder to install some security features like
A...car tracker and alarm to curb theft and any vandalism and also a dashboard camera Incase of any incidence
B. Buy good comprehensive cover Incase of accident
With the above I will be in good working environment whereby I will not be intimidated by authority since I will have all the documents required in this field .I will do my work smoothly with much worries and make money to enable me repay this amounts...thank in advance.

    Like to thank all my lenders who had faith in me and entrusted me with their fund for the last loan.i might have delayed in terms of repayment .But it was not intentional , it's only that things went south especially with the pandemic.but I thank God I made it .May the almighty God bless you for me
