In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Owusuaa stated that it was easier to make money in Ghana than abroad.
She noted that in Canada, she was an employee, whereas in Ghana, she owned a line of businesses fetching her good money.
Owusuaa added that she made more from her businesses in Ghana than she did working for another person in Canada.
“Working in Canada humbled me. Making money here is no joke. I earn about $23 per hour in Canada. I will come back to Ghana to revamp my businesses. There is money in Ghana.
“I earn more in Ghana than in Canada. You can’t multitask in Ghana and the stress alone can take a toll on you. But you can multitask in Ghana,” she added as encouragement.
