According to him, his boss who was a motor parts dealer engaged in 'occultic' activities and as such he couldn't work with him.

Ifeanyi also recounted that he had quit working at a construction site because he was being owed.

The hardworking man - who has been in the venture for many years - of high spirits said he one day aspires to be a retailer in the pure water business.
