Lesson from the Green Nation
on April 09, 2020



Hi! It's being a while... I'm sorry other activities has really gotten me close...
I know you may be surprised at the topic of my story. I'll be dividing it into parts. This is just the part one... So just get a place comfortable to lay your head, arm and head because it's intriguing, scintillating and rib cracking...
OK let me start by telling you something about me...
I've got my hobbies and interest but I must confess, though I went to a government school where Agricultural activities is taken as a priority for six years, my interest for Agriculture is at the minimal level most especially those that deal with plant. I have better affinity for animals so I can easily get along with animals but that doesn't mean I will let go of my hobbies. I'll rather employ the scale of preference in Economics.

I won't be going but I'll be at home to help out with the electrical works in one of the flats. My job wasn't a big one. Just to direct and supervise the main man for the job. I made an indifferent face. You don't have to show the happy face now... Just act like nothing happened. Winks.
