Nothing.

Traveling.

There are two beers, one packet of pork, on packet of beef, water and an apple.

I have a hundred dollar note, my cellphone and three trillion dollars.

My family members. Brothers sisters and my parents. They have groomed me to be where I am.

When and where were you happiest?
I was happiest when I had my only daughter. Considering what a wife goes through and so forth and you think maybe she can die, and what will her parents say. When I heard I had a baby girl, that was the most exciting.

I don't have.

What were you like at school?
I was very influential.

What are you doing next?
I have a meeting at the Jameson with NANGO.
