His mother had taken him to a C & S church located in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun with the hope that the church would accommodate Stephen but was disappointed by the prophet who told them that they couldn't help.
A stranger comes to his aid

Bode is an old student of the institution he met on a bus. They happened to have chatted and exchanged contacts during that short interaction on the bus.
Stephen said he rang Bode and pleaded if he could stay in his place temporarily.
According to him, the kind schoolmate didn't hesitate in giving consent and would accommodate him for the next 3 months.
18 years later, he ran into Bode at a summit and gifted him N1 million in appreciation of the kind gesture back in school.
"It was shocking to see him sited in Ibadan Upgrade Summit. I had to reward his kindness 18 years ago with a token of 1 million naira that day. I never knew he needed money seriously,'' Stephen said.

Student remembers old man who cared for him 27 years ago, builds him a house
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a student had built a multi-million naira house for an old man who cared for him 27 years ago.
Every Sunday, Dhabangi rode his bicycle to Mutebe's school; not even once did he fail and he would bring groundnuts and a heart full of love.
This gesture became imprinted in the young man's heart and he vowed that one day, he would repay Dhabangi for his kindness. In September 2021, Mutebe surprised the now 73-year-old man with his first-ever flight to Nairobi from Uganda.
He also surprised another woman Rebecca Mukyala, 51, who also supported his mother when his father died.
