I was raised by a single mum who was also supporting my other siblings and thus i was hard for her to educate all of us. Having left school therefore, i decided to venture into transportation sector so as to make a living from it. i had skills in riding motorbike and my uncle employed me to ride his bike for him. i used to pay him 3 us dollars per day pocket the remaining amount that i generate each and everyday. That is how i started my transportation business. my hobby is
