"It is the same thing that I will be doing because you cannot change me. Until Ghana gets better for everybody, I can never shut so I will not come again because if I come they might collapse your business.
I met your lawyer and other people have talked to me on your behalf but with all due respect, I cannot be the reason why your business collapses," he said.
Captain Smart further told his boss that he will not go hungry because whoever God has blessed, no one curses.
"Before I came to work for you, I was eating, I was driving a car, and I was living in house so I will be fine," he said.
