-Old Video Triggers Fresh Appeal as Online Commenters Call for Help to Bring Liberian Home
MONROVIA, Liberia — An emotional video of a Liberian man living on the streets in Argentina has sparked renewed calls among Liberians online to locate him, verify his circumstances and determine whether he still needs help returning home.
The video, produced by social-media content creator Noxacomedy and apparently recorded in 2025 by another social media content creator, shows the unidentified Liberian describing years of hardship in Argentina, including homelessness, isolation and frequent fights while living on the streets.
But more than a year after the video was produced, one crucial question remains unanswered: Where is the man today, and has anyone helped him?
There is currently no verified information establishing that he has returned to Liberia or that his circumstances have substantially improved.
‘No One Is Here to Help Me’
In the video, the man tells the interviewer that he traveled to Argentina by plane but discovered that his ticket was not correct, after which he says he was detained.
Asked whether anyone was helping him, he repeatedly says no.
“I stay on the streets as I hardly see a Liberian and no one is here to help me,” he says in the recording.
He also describes experiencing discrimination and frequent fights while living on the streets.
The man says he was born in 1992 and identifies himself as 33 years old during the interview. He also says he previously had family in Argentina, but that relationship deteriorated following what he described as repeated conflicts.
The YouTuber buys him a drink and food during the encounter before encouraging him to stay safe.
Noxacomedy narrator subsequently appeals to Africans, particularly those who may know the man, to help locate him and determine whether he remains stranded.
How Long Has He Been in Argentina?
The video contains conflicting information about how long the man has been in Argentina.
During the interview, he says he has been there since 2007.
However, the narrator later calculates from his age that he may have traveled to Argentina in 2018, describing him as having been stranded for seven years when the video was produced in 2025.
That discrepancy needs to be resolved before any definitive account is published about the length of his ordeal.
The available material also does not establish his full name, current location, immigration status or whether he remains in Argentina.
Liberians React Online
The video has generated a wide-ranging discussion among Liberians online.
One of the most striking responses came from Fouad Paye-Jamel Neewray, who offered: “Fine him I will buy his ticket.” The comment had attracted more than 250 reactions in the screenshot reviewed by The Liberian Post.
Other commenters focused on the need to identify the man properly and locate his family before assistance can be effectively organized.
John Stewart asked for the man’s full name and information about his relatives in Liberia, while suggesting that the UNHCR could potentially be contacted for assistance.
Justina Saye similarly asked for the man’s name and the county from which he comes.
Isaac G. Kpah also called for his family name and county of origin to be established.
Another commenter, Rancy Sirleaf, cautioned Liberians traveling abroad to be particularly careful when purchasing airline tickets. She urged travelers to clearly specify that their intended destination is the Republic of Liberia in West Africa and to verify their tickets to avoid potentially serious travel problems.
Debate Over His Identity
The comment section also contains a separate debate about whether the man is genuinely Liberian.
David Goffah is one of the commenters who questioned his Liberian identity. Other users subsequently responded directly to his comments, with several saying they believed the man was Liberian based on his accent and speech.
Among those defending the man’s Liberian identity were Wench Marlo, Gtoe Washington Jr., Stephen Smith, Jennece Ware, Isaac K. N. Togba and E.D. Quinn.
That online debate, however, does not independently establish the man’s identity.
The man’s full name and Liberian county of origin remain unverified based on the material reviewed for this story.
Questions Still Need Answers
Not everyone responding to the video accepted the story without questions.
Moleek Kpanann questioned how the man could have remained in Argentina for years without his family or others knowing about his situation.
Austine Mill also questioned whether a flight-ticket problem alone could explain such a prolonged ordeal, suggesting that important details may still be missing.
Those questions are legitimate.
The available video provides the man’s account, but does not independently establish what happened to his travel documents, why he was detained, his subsequent immigration status, or how he came to live on the streets.
The priority now, therefore, should be verification rather than speculation.
Find Him First
The Noxacomedy narrator made a direct appeal for anyone who knows the man to come forward.
“Whoever knows this our brother… please, if he is still there stranded, reach out to me,” the narrator said, urging Africans to come together to bring the Liberian home.
That appeal takes on renewed significance as the video continues to attract attention.
Before money is raised or a repatriation campaign launched, however, someone needs to establish the man’s identity and current whereabouts.
Who is he? Where is he today? Is he still living on the streets? Does he have family in Liberia? What is his immigration status? And does he still need help returning home?
Those questions could potentially be answered through cooperation among Liberians in Argentina, relatives in Liberia, community organizations and the appropriate Liberian diplomatic authorities.
If it is established that the man remains stranded and wants to return home, the willingness already expressed online—including the offer to purchase his ticket—could provide the beginning of a coordinated rescue effort.
For now, however, the most important thing Liberians can do is find him.
Because if he is still somewhere in Argentina, struggling alone and hoping someone from home will hear his story, then the first act of solidarity is simply to let him know:
Liberia has not forgotten you.
