This expedition presented downsides like being arrested, sometimes getting lost, fighting exhaustion, and dozing off while on the road. These ordeals maimed his determination and tested his resilience, but he stayed true to his calling and kept pushing.
Stephen’s pursuit will be remembered and commemorated as it brought people from different nations together through donations and encouragement which he needed since the downs were taking a toll on him encouraging him to give up.
Since he diarized the trip on his Facebook page, the public was updated on his progress and upon making it back home, enthusiasts were quick to express their admiration and warm reception through posts.
Some of his earnest supporters who posted on Facebook include:
Your name will go down in history, Mbeche Samuel! My hearty congratulations, and I’m looking forward to joining you on a similar trip in the future.
