With a little humanity, it all worked out ok. Didn't see that coming, but awesome. Now this guy can be an unemployed American graduate lol.
I worked with a talented Nigerian radiologic technologist who abruptly left and went home to sell tires and car parts because he couldn't handle people being so cruel all the time (West Texas). I hope this guy has a better go of it than he did.

Being in south Texas, I believe I've made an incorrect assumption that readers would understand the potential volatility of such jobs, especially for a Nigerian immigrant. To clarify, I've watched friends and colleagues gain and lose employment like crazy and I've seen a lot of racism in the industry, among other things.
