US students raise thousands of dollars to help security guard visit his family in Nigeria

A group of college students in Rhode Island has helped to give their favorite security guard a surprise trip home.

Rhodes Island, according to Wkipedia, is a state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States.

Gray News, quoting Providence College, reports that students living in Raymond Hall came up with the idea after learning that James Mogaji, an overnight security guard for their building, had not visited his family in Nigeria in more than a decade.

One of the students, Brandon Reichert, started a GoFundMe on February 29 to share Mogaji’s story and the group’s goal of raising money on his behalf.

Within a week, the group was able to raise enough money to present Mogaji with a gift of a $3,000 trip.

“He truly is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He greets everybody with a smile and always welcomes conversations no matter what time of the night you run into him,” Reichert shared.

A heartfelt video of the group surprising their beloved security guard with the trip has gained thousands of views and comments since being shared earlier this month.

The students said they wanted to show Mogaji how much they appreciated him.

“We were able to gift James with enough money for him to travel to Nigeria to visit his family in June!

“I’d like to thank everyone who donated as you can see what an impact you made on such an incredible man,” Reichert said.

The group’s fundraising efforts have currently raised nearly $30,000 and they said all further donations will be given to Mogaji at the end of the school year to help fund another trip for him.

Lol mak person no talk...


With all the we earn in Dollar to travel home for vacation still hard

Apart from good infrastructure and maybe Good health care all this Japa people basic still dey unaffordable for them too.....

We v seen this news before. Was it in the dream or sometimes last week?

Kudos to the students!!! If this were to be in Nigeria, the girls won't have contributed because they feel it's a taboo for them to assist a man with money. Majority of their contribution is kpekus, hence they see reasons to only enhance their ass and fallen breast. Na make you go dey with a girl for relationship for years and you won't benefit anything tangible from her but if una breakup, she go say "he used and dumped me". What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news


Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes aka non-virgins can't be trusted

Ehen?

Now is the best time for Abroad people to come to Nigeria and feel like Elon musk

3000 dollar is a sum, but is he ready to go home.

Sweet sweet story

God bless them.

The problem of this life started with the serpent, the first goody-two-shoes! Oga, a Nigerian man abroad who has not seen his family in over a decade is not there because he can’t, but because he doesn’t want to! You have to be Nigerian to understand Nigeria and the burden of duty to family. Nice one from the kids, they shocked him. I hope he doesn’t shock them back!😁

Good deeds never go unrewarded 😎

Kind gesture.

Thats amazing!

This will not happen in UK

Am told stinginess is what blows as breeze in that country

APC folks are brainless.
He is a security man yet lives the life most civil servants can't dream of or afford.
Just take a look at that security man and compare him to an average Nigerian security man in terms of living standard.

Helinues no visa for you in this life

Cry

Are you sure Mogaji wants to come home. BTW what does he mean by "we started together"

Hmmmm

Why is he finding it difficult to raise fund to travel biko??

Abi no be America he dey again? How many times will the students pay for his trips?

After he come to Nigeria, he won't be the nicest again, he will suddenly become a typical Nigerian.

Wait, is this the same US that is most talked about??

Well, Nigerians overrated these countries, that's why their visa officers are misbehaving and doing yanga with their visas to Nigerians..

With their yanga, one would think their land easily flows with milk and honey ...

This is good

Nairaland and old news. Thing wey suppose don make fp since last month,or early March. Na in den just dey push come fp now. When e be say na useless things den go dey push come front page

Okay.

This is Humanity 🕊️

He shouldn't come back to collect Chieftainceny title with the contributed money....since the source of funding and the monies raised is public, some Political racketeers like Reno might want to advise him on how to use it when he enter Naija. Mr Mogaji..hold your ears like this....Emergency Advisers and PAs will show up.

story as STALE as old egusi soup.

God bless those students anyway

It's essentially instructive for us as a human to be kind, responsible and responsive at all times.

This is true love,

We need genuine love like this to make the society a better place

So he can't afford a thousand dollar flight ticket from his security guard job? Maybe the guy have no papers to travel, probably resigned a top executive job in Nigeria to go and be doing mai guard in the US.
