Good Samaritan Society of America

The Story

Along the Atlantic coast, tucked in a corner of the western part of the African continent, is Nigeria. Rich in natural resources and with an energetic and highly educated population, Nigeria has all the trappings to become a paradise on earth.

Unfortunately, corruption, violence, and a lack of leadership plagued Nigeria even before it was granted independence in the 1960s. By all present accounts, it would seem that paradise really might be lost for Nigeria. 

All is not lost yet, however. In a small rural village an hour's drive south of Lagos, the eldest son of a poor farmer, through sacrifice, determination, and the will of God, was able to find his way out of the time-lost farming village, to the chaotic concrete jungle of Lagos, and eventually to the United States.

Faced with new and different tribulations in the United States, the farm boy used the lessons he learned from his challenges and transformed himself into a successful entrepreneur-businessman.

Never forgetting his humble beginnings, the farmboy turned entrepreneur traveled back to his village and was shocked at the effects of neglect and corruption.

Believing he owed everything to God and the village, the once-upon-a-time farmboy founded the Good Samaritan Society of America. It established the Good Samaritan Society of America Mission Village in Fiditi, his hometown.
