MIVUMBA! IN 2001 After I had lost everything I started all over again life was so hard, But thanks to the late Justus Baguma, who helped me acquire a baling machine on credit! The business was easy! my biggest challenge was the commuting back and forth LHR-EBB thanks to Alliance Air that is now long gone. I started all over again! in a small warehouse unit 50 Leytonstone London bailing used clothes and shoes, some electricals from Argos used fridges which I stopped voluntarily as I cared about the environment. In 6mths I was employing many eastern Europeans, in 1yr I had paid off the equipment and I owed no one, but guess what, my first container was to a relative in Uganda, and as we all have these lugambo relatives, I called one and asked how things where and he said eh so and so is doing very well, with the used clothes and shoes you are sending at this rate dont you think you are going to be sending 30 containers a month? Excited as was immediately called my relative I had sent the 40 container. The shocker, she said to me at the rate things are going she may have to send the things back to the UK the things where bad no one was buying eh!!!! then the killer was when she said I was new to the business and I sorted the things wrongly? This in its self almost sunk me??? after that phone call she jumped on a plane to china and started using my money and sweet to trade, i then diverted all my containers to Nigeria, 2 years later I sold the business to a Nigerian and I have never looked back, My relative? she lost all the money and I am looking after her now. This is all not by might, its been the love of GOD! I say to get a break through in life you have to, TRY AND FAIL! BUT DO NOT FAIL TO TRY!!!
