"I decided to go and stay with my brother who intended to teach me carving. I was also willing to learn...."

"I was born on January 28, 1973. After Junior School, my family had financial problems so I had to stop attending. I decided to go and stay with my brother who intended to teach me carving. I was also willing to learn, since I was interested in artworks. My brother trained me for two years and after which I stayed with him for another four years to work for him.

"I had less difficulty during this period, because I was seriously concentrating and had a goal to achieve, so I took everything seriously.

"I now have a workshop of my own where I mostly carve figures, masks, drums, or profiles. I also have two boys whom I am training. I am not married and have no children. However, I thank God for bringing me to my position."
