With this, he stated that his academic work has taken much of his time, citing how he studies Civil Procedure on a daily basis.
Aside from that, he opened up on legal research and other things he focuses on as part of being a student.
"Since I came to the US, how many shows have I done? Do you know why? When I wake up, I have Civil Procedure to read, research and other things; the system is such that I don’t have time to host my programme. Since I came, this is the sixth show."
Okatakyie Afrifa studying law in US
Okatakyie Afrifa, in September last year, grabbed headlines after he secured a scholarship to study for a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree at the University of Connecticut (UCONN) in the United States of America.
The statement explained that the former Angel FM morning show host, who studied at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), had been selected as part of an exchange program between his tertiary institution and a US-based university.
His comments come after Captain Smart alleged that Okatakyie was sponsored by the New Patriotic Party to relocate to the US so he could compete with Kevin Taylor.

Reactions to Okatakyie's studies update in US
Netizens who thronged the comments section of the video gave their views on Okatakyie Afrifa moving to the US.
FAHM indicated:
"If Captain Smart doesn’t talk about NPP and its related issues, he won’t get views and relevance. Have you guys realised he’s not as popular as he used to be during NPP times? It’s all because he doesn’t get NPP issues to talk about on his programs. Just give him time, and you’ll understand what I am saying."
Nana Akomea reacted:
"No morning show presenter in this country can be compared to Kwame Sefa Kai."
Action Pampalupa opined:
"Captain Smart, because of your foolishness, only in Ghana 🇬🇭 can you be a presenter. Kwasia, Captain, wo maame twɛ kankan sɛ koobi nkwan."

"But let’s wait ooo. So do we mean we didn’t see GIMPA giving him the best student scholarship to go and do part of his law career outside? He wasn’t the only one who went; 2/3 of the best students also went. Ahhhhh, let’s read carefully."
