According to him, many Ghanaians abroad who complain have never experienced the hardships of living in a typical Ghanaian village, where necessities are scarce and livelihoods are precarious.

Meanwhile, Isaac stressed the disparity in living standards between Ghana and Italy, describing Italy as a "heaven" compared to the hardships endured in Ghana.

Moreover, he suggested that those who find life abroad unbearable should consider returning to Ghana, emphasizing that living abroad is not suitable for everyone.

He encouraged Ghanaians to travel abroad if presented with the opportunity but cautioned against idealizing life in foreign countries without considering the challenges and adjustments required.
