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?

Jesus is The Only Way. Have a relationship with Him. He loves you and cares for you're soul. Believe and be saved according to The Book of Romans 10:9. Accept Him as you're personal Lord and Savior. Study His Word, The Holy Bible, stay in prayer and help others. I am here for prayer requests. I'm just a messenger sharing The Good News. God bless.
