In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Nana Antwi said life abroad would have been smoother in his first few years if he had learnt a trade while in Ghana.
Back in Ghana, a friend wanted to teach him how to barb but, he disagreed because he thought a tertiary school graduate should not become a barber. He preferred an office job.

"My barber friend offered to teach me, but I declined because I was a graduate looking for an office job. I later regretted it after traveling overseas. Ghanaians frequently look down on the most renowned and lucrative careers overseas."
"You don't even have to know the language. All you need is the ability, and you will make a lot of money. When I visit Ghana, I intend to learn how to cut hair. It will help me save money. You'll go a long way with your skills if you live abroad," he added.
Nana Antwi explained that even if he didn't work as a full-time barber in the Netherlands, he would learn in Ghana, so he would not have to go to the barber's salon again for his hair.
He explained that if he could do that, it would save him some money since the cost of barbing is high.
When asked what advice he would give to those who want to relocate from Ghana to other countries, especially Europe and America, Nana Antwi said they should learn skills.
