I was born in a family of seven being the first born.I was raised by my parents with alot of struggle to make the ends meet.Through thick and thin ,i managed to finish my Primary education and joined Secondary school.,My life in secondary school was not simple as i was supported by well-wishers until i completed my o level in 1994
Through hardship, i learned how to appreciate , humble and take any emerging issues with confidence and take it positively
After school i engaged myself in farming business where i grew cabbages and tomatoes which gave me the starting capital of food retail shop.
