During his interaction with DJ Nyaami, he further revealed that he also wanted to cut down on rent, bills, and other expenses since he was often not home.

“I spend most of my time at sea, but I still had to pay my bills. It gets tough sometimes. I get homesick, but it’s easier if you know what you want. I moved to Ghana in 2020. When I have to return to work, I fly to the ship’s location. Before my leave, I returned to Ghana from Greece, but I joined the ship in Djibouti."
