- A beloved college security guard mentioned that he hadn't visited his family in Nigeria for a long time. So a group of students started a GoFundMe and surprised him with a trip.

This makes me cry. There's still a lot of good in the world and it's coming from our youth which gives hope for the future.❤❤❤❤
This proves that when you're good to people, people will be good to you.
Congratulations to these young men for being so thoughtful, caring, and kind. We appreciate each one of you for doing this for your security guard. Blessings on blessings on each of you.❤
This happens a lot more than people realise, just needs to be shown a lot more to the world. Beautiful.
Just so everyone understands, that deep is a way of expressing deep respect among cultures in Nigeria. It is typically reserved for people of high standing or for children to their elders. I imagine here it is also about deep gratitude, but it seems significant that he reached back to his blood family to honor his chosen family.
(and, yes, I choked up a bit when he did it)
Who's cutting onions damnit
The shows that they're still good in our youth
Brought a tear to my eye.
Well done to all the parents that raised these amazing young guys . Totally amazing gesture . respect
There is hope left for this world after all ❤💯🙏🦄
I love these kids wanting to do so good! ❤❤❤❤❤
James my man, awfar?
You make Naija proud.
Naijas are proud of you hommie ❤
This made me cry 😢 those kids love respect and appreciate you. Thanks for being a good person. It’s pays to do good. Enjoy your well deserved trip to see your family.
For some extra context: the man had been working there over 11 years at time of filming, and the students raised $3000.
This is a very kind act, but I really think it's an indictment of the employers that he couldn't afford a $3000 trip even once in over a decade of work for them. He dedicated his life to this campus for 11 years and wasn't able to visit his family once due to the pay - as much as the students' kindness deserves celebration, it shouldn't have been necessary
Just beautiful❤
damn, that hit the soul!! those students are fkn amazing...
We need to see more of this love❤️❤️
Love wins ..love liberates -MAYA ANGELO 🙏 THERE IS SO MUCH MORE GOOD THAN BAD IN THIS WORLD . GRATITUDE 🎉
We love you James!
Wonderful! 😊
There's hope yet ❤😂😂

His job should provide him with enough to fly there every so often 🤷🏾
That’s unrealistic. If jobs did that for every international employee they’d go bankrupt. Just enjoy the goodness that was displayed here and don’t weaponize it against the employer.
@@RaffineDebaucheI mean, the fact that after 11 years he couldn't afford to go even once is more than a little eyebrow-raising imo. Sure, they can't afford to pay for him to fly internationally regularly, but I don't think it's a great sign for the quality of pay if he had to rely on the kindness of these students for a single international trip after dedicating over a decade of his life to his job, y'know?
Edit: I looked up the story to find out more, and the total amount they raised was $3000. If they didn't pay enough he could afford a $3000 trip after 10 years, my personal view is that the employer deserves to be criticised - and given how emotional he was about this and the other coverage I saw, it seems he really would not have been able to afford this without the fundraising
So amazing, great young adults!
With the way inflation and currency(naira) devaluation is killing my country nigeria, he better chill before coming.... his family will be expecting lots of dollars because currency exchange rate is high😢.
Unfortunately THAT was my second reaction after first being very happy for him - how is he going to give away funds to those at the other end who will be assuming he is 'RICH' since he spent so much time in a prosperous place ?? And they WILL expect him to give them real money - people can be very ignorant, and those who are ignorant of the facts can be especially ignorant & often quite belligerent !!! Let's hope it works out well as the kindness of those kids deserves the best possible end to this story !
@@veronicaroach3667 it is not assuming he is rich. It is just taking about taking advantage of the currency rate. Few hundred dollars will get you hundred of thousands of naira.
He sent him back to claim his inheritance from the Nigerian prince that died leaving him over 15 million dollars.
YESSSSSSS!
🙏👍❤️
