College students surprise a beloved security guard with a trip to Nigeria to see family

Aww, c'mon guys – if ever a situation needed a cuddle this was it.!

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

Now that his face is all over the news, he will definitely get kidnapped for ransom( for this full amount of money 💴 💰 ) once he sets foot in that God forsaken country.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is WHACKED..!!! Btw, I was born and raised in Nigeria.

Tinubu is the worst thing to ever happen to that country.! God forbid bad thing..!

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)

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😢.
