In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Lukeman said he learnt the skill from his father back in Ghana before travelling abroad.

Lukeman said he first went to the US in 2015 for a visit. He later went back after some years to settle. He believes if he did not have a skill, he would not be making such an amount of money

Learning a skill before travelling

Lukeman encouraged anyone who wants to travel out of Ghana in search of greener pastures to make sure they learn a skill.

He explained that, if one has a skill, it is easier to get a job and make some money so you are not dependent on anyone else.

Lukeman also works as an event photographer. Due to the cost of living in the US, he said it is necessary to have multiple sources of income.
