Jackson's story is a movie. Fascinating and heartwarming. What an amazing journey and dedication to his people.

Jackson Nahayo is one of the heroes of Africa. God bless him, his family and adopted parents greatly.

How can someone go through so much and still come out so strong? This young man has been to hell and come back an angel. I am humbled. I am inspired. More blessings to you my brother. Continue working for the people.

Maya on behalf of All Africans,I want to say thank you for bringing the hidden gem of Africa to the world, Burundi is natural and organic

WHAT A SELFLESS MAN ❤ HE CAME BACK HOME TO HELP HIS PEOPLE WITH HEALTH AND WEALTH ❤ CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤❤

Waouuu as a child refugee myself from Congo, living in the UK his story is far worse than mine and he is just an inspiration ❤️

This are people who need our recognition and must be celebrated for their works in their individual capacities

Wode Maya has completed visiting all the East African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and finally Burundi. Congratulations.

As Africans we continue showing love to Ghana/Africa('s)Finnest | ❤ He works so hard that he shocks the world with evidential stories that nobody would imagine come from Africa not seen on Tv | may God bless and protect you 🙏

He really should write a book…if he hasn’t already.❤

In kirundi we say :"Umugabo asiga umugani".Which means a real man live a story behind him,Jackson is a brave man,passionate and determined,there is a sound from far saying Africa is waking up and become united strong than ever,thank you so much Maya,stay blessed for what you are doing for africa,you are doing great things and whole africa is proud of you.❤❤❤

Our country 🇧🇮🇧🇮 Heart of Africa ❤️❤️

Go Burundi go, a Burundian win is an African win. Much love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼

This guy has gone through a lot of pain. What is intriguing is how casually he expresses them with very little or no emotions. You can clearly tell he's gotten over his bitter past

Jackson is an incredible guy. There must be a part 2 of this interview. Thanks Maya for telling these stories.

Listening to Jackson's story I can't hold my tears. He has been a blessing for me and for many people, through him I got to know a bunch of things and his story keeps reminding me how our childhood was looking like especially during wartime. Thanks to God things have changed

Jackson should enter the big books of Africa. Can't hold back tears❤😭

This guy has an inspiring story that should be turn into a movie . He deserve an Afro achievement reward 🏆 for all he is doing. I see myself in you my brother .He is what I call one of the Afro hero who were scatter across the world who are coming back to make to Africa what supposed to be. God's is the master mind behind it all

I went through war in Sierra leone. I shed tears listening his story😢

The challenge here in Rwanda is Agriculture. The diaspora need to concentrate on this need of the population. Omg again lets thanks Maya for all he shows us. This one is truly inspiration. Thank you. Please share this video everywhere ❤❤

Burundi to the map. Thank you Maya for showcasing my home country !!! Glad to see Burundians building the country ❤

His background and what he has went through is exceptional. God has his hands on him. I would like to meet with him one of these days.

This guy has gone through hardship in life. To the level of being replaced with small johnson. Sad background but very courageous and hard working. Thanks Wode maya for this emotional content, God bless you

This brother's story is so emotional. May God Almighty bless and continue to power him. Thank you, Maya, for telling the African story. May God bless you as well. African care 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Nahayo you are so brave.🙏🏾 People don't realise that the war in 1993 was horrible. And connected with what happened in Rwanda in 1994. Amahoro (peace) to my fellows in Burundi 🇧🇮❤🇷🇼 Ubuntu should always guide us

One person can’t change the current picture of Africa, but with a little help from every individual across the continent we can all work together and boast of a better Africa some years to come.... In every little way possible🙏🙏🙏 great thanks to @WODEMAYA for covering inspiring contents like this..

A true hero, his story must be incorporated in school curriculums, to inspire the younger generation & future Leaders of Burundi

The story is very touching but with the happy ending I thank God for protecting the whole family

It is high time we stop all this worthless wars in Africa. I can imagine your pain at that tender age 6 and what you went through. My our Lord bless you more Jackson for being selfless. Wode Maya thanks more love and peace ❤❤❤

He turned the most horrific place in his memory into a place of healing - what a phenomenal human being 🙏🏽 ❤ Jackson's mindset is what all leaders should aspire to achieve. How many other African children would achieve great things if just given the chance.

Wow such an inspirational story that made me teary. This guy needs a standing ovation throughout Africa. Of all the videos I have watched on Wode Maya he is the true hero. His work is not driven by the love of money but a passion to help others. Well done Jackson!!

Only in east African and west African build hospital in they village what you can't see in southern African were am from waiting for government for everything

I'm glad he learnt some from Zambia. Proudly Zambian and proudly African. Keep doing great job brother, show Africa to the world. Next stop should be Zambia.

Maya as a Haitian we love what you doing 🇭🇹❤️🇭🇹❤️🇭🇹🇭🇹

Jackson is a top guy. So inspiring. May God continue to bless him. I can't even begin to imagine a young boy alone in a foreign country and to be able to give back as he's doing is just amazing. I couldn't stop crying.

Some things happen for a reason.God saved his life to save other people's lives.What a story what a hero.Thanks Wode Maya,a journalist who didn't train journalism.

I encourage you who is watching this video to Come and visit Burundi 🇧🇮 there’s so much things that will inspire you and you’ll learn more about it. Welcome all thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤

Jackson story is so humbling. A mixture of fate and exceptional personality. He is Burundi own example of how exceptional love for our people can push us. Having gone through such trauma as a little kid, i am happy he could find some peace and even turn his story around enough to inspire many. His experience is tougher than many 80years old can even fathom yet he is a shining star from the east of Africa!

At 37 years, you have motivated me n proud of your achievements n many more to come. Your farm is beautiful with different crops ,feeding the nation n the hospital is such a wonderful blessing to your country. Creation of jobs. Congratulations.

I am so proud of you Jackson. I shared your perspective. I am a Liberian nurse practicing in the US and planning to move back to Liberia and do the same for my ppl. Thank you for inspiring me. Only we African can make the change we want in Africa. It’s time to ask what can I do for my country/ Africa instead of “what Africa has for you.” There’s a lot in Africa; but the western mentality has blinded so many Africans and only few of us can see the greatness Africa has. Keep doing what you love. You’re so strong 💪.

What I like most of our young people they are really eager to change things in the motherland even when they go abroad they still love our continent

Wow, young man you are a blessing to your people. May our ancestors bring forth many more like you. You are an inspiration. We all need to work hard and try to have this kind of impact on the continent, it is possible! Let us never give up, Alkebulan (Africa) is call all her children back.

Africa to the world 🇬🇭❤️

Wode Maya glad tidings to you! Your are teaching Africa and the world.. Your are writing African history, one person at a time, one country at a time! You are waking Africa up!! (Consider transcribing these stories, this will be volumes of books). These stories should be in every classroom in African schools… whatever each school gets to call it - your stories should be a course. When Jackson asked: “Where would we see Jacksons in the next ten years?” The answer would be millions of Jacksons a cross Africa…. I believe it is possible, because young Africa is on the rise. Continue the good work.

🎉thank you Maya. You understand what GOD is talking about.❤. Power to this Man. We need him in Suriname 🇸🇷.

Thank you For what you are doing to our continent love. I was not born and raised in burundi but I love my mother land country Burundi to the world thank you again maya and Jackson.

I haven't cried for decades until I hear Jackson's childhood story.Jsckon is really a hero.

Africa to the world❤

I'm thé first to see your publication, so i'm proud of being Burundian🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮

What an incredible story. More life to brother Jackson 😢

Jackson is kinda like Joseph in the bible. Due to A tragic situation in his home country he ends up in a far away land. He thought that all his family members were dead, they also probably believed that he was dead. He grows up in Canada later finds out they're alive visits them and slowly starts to get over the disdain he had for his country because of what he went through. He returns and becomes a farmer, built a hospital, create jobs, feed his people. In a place where there was once death and violence he's creating life. 🙏

"I am a guy that likes to make things work" he didn't say "i am a guy that like to focus on maximizing profits". What an amazing inspiration to us all.

I'm here to thank you wodemaya for nice job you did for Ugandan children's buying them tablets,chairs & desk.May God bless you for them. Salla tourist is very greatful.

Yet we grow more and more stronger that ever by God is grace...thanks a lot brother Maya...I once asked you to visit Burundi all I can say to you is thank you .As for Jackson you are an inspiration to us all.

I really think this should be the story of the year. What an amazing man.

It is so great to see young African's changing Africa. Jackson thinking of the underprivileged in his projects, especially in the name of the pain he suffered from the war is so emotional and inspirational story. May God continue to multiply your good work. Bravo Maya in another great inspiring video. 👏👏👏🙏

What a striking coming up story and experience. More strength to him on all his projects to help provide food for his community and Burundi. Great job Wode Maya.

We need more of this mentality in Africa so that those who think we won't survive without them will start to respect us and treat us as equal partners when we negotiate business matters. I was so inspired as always thank you again Wode Maya for this interview.

Very inspiring young man. Whoa. There's no excuse to not move towards your goal in life. Thank you. ❤

WHAT AN AMAZING YOUNGMAN AND STORY 🙏🏾🙏🏾 MAYA WE NEED THE BEGINNING OF THIS STORY FROM HIS PARENTS/FAMILY AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS ❤ THIS IS SO INSPIRING 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

He should write his autobiography. It would be an amazing read.

Wow may God bless Burundi and BURUNDIANs 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮 and much appreciation to Mr Maya

It's difficult to watch this interview with dry eyes. It's one of your best interviews ever, if not the best. Editing and the flow are on another level. Waiting for part 2

Wode Maya… we salute you for all that do and we hope that our collective prayers and support will continue to propel you in all your endeavors. You have made us proud as Africans.

Thank God for his Canadian parents who did not turn hm away wen he knocked. May God continue t shower his blessings on you.

Jackson's story should be adapted to a movie. His life is so inspirational and painful as the same time but he made it. He surrounded his fears and wounds to turn them to a beautiful impact for the many people where he experienced war at the worse level for a kid. Thank you Maya for your dedication for Africa, its story and its beautiful culture

My grandfather was from Burundi and he passed away till now my daddy did not take us back but I thank God am a Ugandan😂 but when I come back in Africa i will Go in Burundi at least for vacation😢😢😢😢😢 to see my root😢

Wow, such an inspiration. I hope he's also writing his book.

Thanks Maya I can't wait to return home too you can get money in Europe but stress, depression, rasism is too much 😢

After all he went through there was clearly an inclination in him to go home. This was profound, inspiring and incredibly moving.

I was in tears watching Jackson. God will bless him .

Such an inspiring story. May you and your family continue to grow from glory to glory in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen 🙏🏿

Thank you Wode Maya for bringing us stories like this and changing the narratives of Africa, as an African grown up in Namibia I have always heard of the effects of wars esp civil wars but it never crossed my mind how invasive and dividing these calamity was until hearing this story of Jackson. Keep doing what you doing Maya, we love you❤️.

Good job Wode Maya, thank you very much for coming to my country Burundi. You inspire me a lot, let's take Africa to the world, soon people from other countries will change their mind about our country Burundi after your work in Burundi. We love you Wode Maya.

This is one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard. His life is a movie. I would love to get to meet the brother one day. I pray blessings and favor to whatever good thing his hands do! 👑

Young man has done great for his community, good job.

Thank you Jackson Nehayo. You've literally healed me from my sickbed. My troubles seem insignificant to what you've been through and overcame to be a steonger and better person with a purpose for your people. May G-d continue to bless you, your family, and your adopted family and friends, and the people of your nation with abundance in every area of your lives. Thank you Sir. Thank you, Ohene Wodemaya. You're a true King of Africa. Ps. I had a dream this morning that I was swimming with you 😅

Africa to the world 🌍 Much love from Nigeria

In the heart of Africa's golden land, Where diversity dances, hand in hand, A continent vast, where cultures thrive, A tapestry woven, keeping dreams alive. From the Sahara's dunes, stretching wide, To Victoria's falls, where waters collide, Mountains rise and rivers flow, Through valleys green, where treasures grow. In the Serengeti's endless plains, The lion roars, nature's symphony reigns, Elephants trumpeting, zebras in stride, Africa's wildlife, a majestic pride. Through histories deep, both triumph and pain, Africans rise, their spirit sustains, From ancient kingdoms to modern days, Resilience echoes, in myriad ways. From Timbuktu's ancient books of old, To Nubian pyramids, standing bold, Africa's past whispers tales untold, A heritage rich, a legacy to uphold. But Africa's story is not just the past, It's the vibrant present, it's a steadfast cast, The rhythm of life, the pulse of the street, Entrepreneurs' dreams and artists' heartbeat. From Lagos to Nairobi, Johannesburg's lights, Africans unite, igniting new heights, In villages small, where communities thrive, Ubuntu's spirit keeps dreams alive. So let the world hear Africa's song, Resonating loud, proud and strong, For Africans, a beacon of hope, A land of beauty, where dreams elope. In every heartbeat, Africa's beat, A symphony of voices, so sweet, For Africa's people, brave and free, Forever bonded, in unity. ✊🏿🖤👑

This young man gives me a *Mirror* for me to see the SOUL of who we really are as children of the most -high. May The CREATOR continues to bless each and every single -person who came to the * aid* of this SON of the MOST-HIGH.🙏

Maya I hope this is part 1 of Jackson story because you have not shown his activities like farming and hospital yet…such a captivating story bro Jackson, you are indeed a visionary!

Even before I watch the story is inspiring.....you motivate me wood maya

Great job black man. You’ve made the black nation of people proud. True example of a builder of a nation. Africa is the richest place on planet earth and the people of the black motherland is the number one resource. This is a exceptional Video.

In my humble opinion, little Jackson, your baby brother, wasn't named that to "replace" you, your parents were grieving you, they didn't know if you were alive or not😔😔 He was named that, to keep your name ALIVE, they didn't want to ever forget you. They believed you didn't make it, you were only 6years old! 😔😔War is a terrible thing! We as a race and continent need to remember that we are ONE! We need to be our brothers keeper. Kick the borders in our mind, heart and land out. The Schengen countries have no borders, why do we still have them in Africa? And also Jackson.......YOU HAVE A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN YOU! YOUR LIFE HAS JUST BEGAN! Thank you Maya for this inspirational video.

I wish 95% of us have a heart like him.... African will be a better place....God is your strength Brother, keep it going man....

When i tell you you never disappoint,i mean it congratulations again,this is so touching,look what 1 guy with just friends did for his people.

Wow, wodemaya, very terrifying beginning, but God made it possible for him to become successful in order to help those who have been afflicted like him. Those are stories that change the world and not only Africa. The best is yet to come.
