During COVID-19, movement restrictions created uncertainty for farmers. I listed my Kalahari hybrid goat online, attracting interest, but no agreement followed. Opportunity requires patience.

Days later, a stranger contacted me through WhatsApp and showed buying interest. We agreed, payment followed, and I promised delivery next day. Trust opens doors.

At his farm, I was impressed by his vision to stock West African Dwarf goats. I offered support, received payment for ten goats. Action pays.

Finding the desired quality took time, but I secured suitable animals and travelled toward Abeokuta. We delivered successfully, reaching Ibadan after dark. Quality demands persistence.

Lockdown had ended, but I needed home. The driver dropped me safely on the bridge near Lead City University, leaving me worried. Business requires courage.

I called Java, who connected me with Adekunle Taiwo Teezy nearby. Taiwo welcomed me, reminding me that service requires risks, relationships, courage. Every journey teaches.
