He attended Kayayumbe Primary School and Kabingo Primary School where he completed his Primary Leaving Examination (PLE).

When he arrived in Kampala, his elder brother Muzamir Kakeeto advised him to learn cookery skills from where he learnt how to cook chapattis, Rolex and Ekikomando.

From there, Lil Pazo got employed by James Kawuyi who had a chapatti stale in Mutungo Biina, a Kampala suburb. He used to earn 500shs daily as his salary and chapattis were his daily meal.

Nevertheless, in his line of business, Lil Pazo was conned by his regular customer who had even turned into a friend. One Saturday afternoon, this friend of his convinced him that he had gotten him another chapatti making job at Sheraton Hotel, but first, he was required to pay a fee of 150,000shs to secure the job.

Lil Pazo agreed, he went back home and collected his savings and gave it to the man to secure him a better job at least. “After giving him my money he convinced me to wait for some days to take me to the hotel. Until now, it’s difficult to trace his whereabouts. That man conned me.”

After some time in the chapatti business, Lil Pazo joined the boda boda riding business conducting business in Kibe Zone Bwaise.

In this business, he was incarcerated for two weeks by his boss at Kawempe Police Station.
