He retired at the age of fifty six and started his second career as a full time farmer and part time settling conflicts among families and others.He did all of that until he was ninety years old.

He departed from earth at the age of ninety three years to start a new life in heaven. I know that he was very funny and can make them laugh all day.I am sure that he must be entertaining them over there .

We cultivated lots of yams, cassava,green vegetables fruits such as grapes and oranges. We had enough yams to eat.We also had poutry for chicken and goats.These are for family consumption and once in a while we could sell some of the yams and chicken .
