Not a few people watching in the crowd Sunday night at the Eko Hotel Events Centre, Victoria Island Lagos were surprised as Stephen went to the ground as if he was shot by an invisible gun soon after the organizers announced his name as winner.
But speaking about the incident, Stephen a 200 level student of Public Administration at Lagos State University said he was tensed up and many things were going through his mind before the announcement. “I am very happy to win the 10th edition of Aquafina Elite Model. It is a dream come through. My falling to the ground when my name was announced is my own way of thanking God and surrendering to him for the success,”
Stephen who was in tears of joy said. He said that any of the 10 boys that made the final could have easily won but he was the one that God chose. “I was also happy that my mom and younger sister were in the audience to witness this moment,” Stephen said.
