In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Daniel explained that he travelled to further his education with the intention of getting a permanent residence and bringing his nuclear family to join him.
"Since childhood, I have dreamt of travelling abroad. I went to the UK to further my education. The plan was for me to stay and get my family to join, but after two months, I returned to Ghana. I noticed that I could make more money in Ghana than in the UK, and I could not wait for my family to join me."
Daniel indicated that the University of the West of Scotland had a policy where they could refund his fees if he was no longer interested in the studies. He said he wrote to the school after three weeks of tuition and left for Ghana.
"My friends could not believe I was leaving until I booked my ticket. The school did not refund my fees until I returned to Ghana. I had a one-and-a-half-year visa. But I chose to return home. Ghana is good, and I love it at home," Daniel said.
Daniel said that even though his wife and other family members were initially against his return to Ghana, they later understood him and supported his decision.

"This guy is one of the honest guests I have listened to on your program, DJ NYAAME, but and a BIG BUT he has made a great mistake. He will regret this decision. Also, that wobaaha b3y33d3n nu it means a lot. He thinks his supervisor was advising him. BIG NO. What it means is that when they come to abrokyire fresh, and you instruct them to do something as a supervisor, they talk oh Ghana, I was this, I was that, and the supervisor will say then why are you here. Meaning the supervisor is pissed off with your bla bla bla and he takes it as advice. Anyway, I wish him good luck."
