He later realised that he had some hidden talent that he was not putting to use. This was singing and playing the musical instrument which looks like a saxophone.

Finding the love of his life

"God has given me talent so am just playing that instrument to make money," he said.

According to the bubbly young man, many people underestimated him, and it became difficult to find women or girls who loved him.

He sometimes wished he had money so women would love him, but he also believed that would not have been true love.

But he finally found a woman who was willing to be his partner after waiting for so long, and they have since been blessed with four children.

His wife and four children live in the village while he moved to Kampala, where he plays his musical instrument and sings to earn money that pays his bills, provides for his family and pays his children's school fees.
