In an interview with Sammykay media, Holy Diamond said most Ghanaians abroad travel for a reason, most often financial freedom, and because they have not attained their targets.
“Ghanaians abroad want to return to their home country because they are not happy there. They are there for something, money. If we are talking about a happy place with little or no stress it is Ghana. When a baby cries a lot it is just because of milk. It is because of the hunger and hardship in Ghana. If not the hardship what will Ghanaians be doing in the cold weather.”

Holy Diamond said he is tired of living abroad and wants to move back to Ghana. He said he pities Ghanaians living abroad especially those who have built properties in Ghana.
"When they come to Ghana, they only live in their properties for about a month and go back home. Some want to come but do not have the ticket. Living abroad is difficult."
He said even though he would travel back to Amsterdam, he would be coming to Ghana frequently as compared to the previous years when he did not come home often.
