#Providence #SecurityGuard #Nigeria
This is totally awesome.!!!! These young people give a lot of hope for humanity. God Bless you and yours. Stay safe.
Great story 👌🏿
The first one is a little different but the first is a lot of fun I think and I love it so I think it’s really good to be able of the first three or three of them together so I think it will be really fun for the second and third ones
@@MuzinAlawad what⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
The only thing pwr has done is the last two seasons of this series and I can’t wait for them to be in the finals this year too and I
What a group ❤ of students 👏 seeing through James ❤ Spirit. God Bless YOU’ALL!
I hate how MSNBC and CNN always try to portray white people as evil, yet they always do stuff like this
man long distance, cousins, brother, sister, great aunt, great great uncle going to be in for a rude awakening
I know how it feels😢, i was on the same boat. Move to the state in 2011 didn’t go back till 2021. It’s really tough man
Great story. I don’t mind crying of happiness!!! May God bless you all!
If only all were that humble and grateful to their fellow humans.
Captain Hadiza Lantana Oboh. 1959-1998. Nigerian pilot.
Turns out its a one way ticket.
Don’t get me wrong, but why didn’t the students just donated $100 each or did a donation event for him at school? The man deserves it but as a non-American, idk, I just feel like gofundme has been overused.
Maybe cause they’re broke
Students didn’t pay for the ticket… the public did. I agree, GoFundMe is beginning to attract scammers.
“Black guy moved to tears after students surprise him with trip to Africa”
Your life sucks that much huh? Very pitiful person
But when I tell blacks to “go back to Africa” they call me a racist?
They’re sending him back? Thats awful.
Twisted but funny
There is still hope in this world. 🙏🏼🫶
So sweet. Oh, my.🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💋💋💐✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫🌟
South Africa has beautiful resorts with fine dining and casinos. Can Nigeria wait?
No it can’t
@@ctgal9698 Let him have some fun.
Are you ok?
Hope he makes it safely back from Nigeria. America is his new home now 🙏♥️
America is his home but so is Nigeria. That’s where his family is.
What do you mean by make it safely back. Is Nigeria a death trap? There are over 200 million people here
@@emmabor_4580 Maybe he’s just wishing him a safe trip back.
@@emmabor_4580
Exactly, I don’t get it. He will be fine by God’s grace. That seems like a backhanded prayer.
@@UnapologeticallyMuslimah don’t mind this people that thinks we die here in Nigeria when I reality more unbroadcasted death are seen in their country more than Nigeria….they just believe the lies their media feeds them with increasing their ignorance as they age.
Well done you all! What a selfless act of kindness. Best wishes for your bright future!
❤
A beautiful thing truly
A one way trip Yey!!!!!!!

Nice to see my home Rhode island on the news for once
Great story! Is the school going to give him the time off so he can go?
I hope DHS reimburses them, students typically don’t have much money
Get em a first class round trip let em enjoy his vacation
We are here to help others if you can !! God bless you !!

So touching! 🥹
MSNBC: White students pay to send man back to Africa
In an altruistic society, this would be the norm. To all the students: THANK YOU and God bless.

Plot twist: It’s a one way ticket with his family
Why are the students sending him off to the land of scammers and criminals?
First time ive seen a black guy with the surname singh
One way ticket to Nigeria
* Students try to depot man that busted them for vaping in bathroom*
Very touching. We should give all them one way tickets to “see their family”.
act of kidness at its best
America is still alive!
Dude, now that’s how people should be treating people.Those young people right there have the blessing of God on their lives to treat somebody with such wonderful love and respect.That’s what we should be seeing on the nightly news
some kids are born good, well done
Waoo🙌🙌✈️
Keep that same heart, spirit and energy. It is welcomed on planet earth. Thank you.
One way ticket back to Afreeca
They had a goal of $3500 but got a whopping $28,370!!! I’m SURE it’s not going to cost over $28,000 to go back to Nigeria. Is he going to be allowed to take any of the unused money back to Nigeria to help his family and/or community? Or will this $ go into a fund to help others return to their families overseas?
I’m seriously not trying to be smart but a lot of immigrants aren’t allowed to go back home.
Good job guys good job
So sweet
It is so heart warming
That is so awesome. Those kids moved me to tears too. Great gesture guys When you do your job diligently God sees you and so do the people you serve.
this is really heartfelt surprise from the organizers who did this surprisingly trip with $3500 to security guard who did not his family for 10 years but made it easy to go there
thanks to whoever behind such wonderful contributions
love is real reborn in this community
Beautiful 😍
And this says everything about the type of guy this man is!! I love this..🩶
Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
God bless you guys 🙌🙏
What a delightful initiative from the students! Now, James will have the joy of reuniting with his family in Nigeria. As a Nigerian
my heart is filled with joy witnessing this wonderful act. These students are truly making a positive impact.
Awwnnnn! This is pure love from the youths…no racial sentiment attached. The Genz’s has got the best answers to racism especially in deep south America. The United humanity states of the world❤
Amazing 🙌
That was heartwarming ❤
Thank you to you all. Its good to be good. You shall fulfil your destinies in Jesus name
Isn’t this like saying “go back to Africa?”
God bless you all in Jesus name
That amount will build him a nice bungalow in Nigeria … Good stuff.
