AllAfrica.com reports that in Lagos, Nigeria, Yeye Olufunke Daniel, wife of the Ogun state governor, donated several gifts to the less privileged in the society, including brand new motorcycles to three village men.



One of the motorcycle recipients was Pa Adedeji Idowu, a 76 year old native of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. According to Pa Idowu:

"This gift from GFF is an answered prayer, because I had been persistently praying to God for years for a means of transportation but it is now that God decided to reward my faith and prayers".



"It is going to serve as a means of livelihood for me and my 11 children. We will hire a rider who will use it to make money for us. The Daniels have been a source of inspiration, joy and fulfillment of hope in my life and my entire people. The motorcycle is a plus to my life."

Another person who got a motorcycle was Chief Vincent Oladipo Ogunsanya, of Ajegunle Street, Isiwo-Ijebu. When receiving his two-wheeler, he responded:

"I am short of words to express my profound gratitude and appreciation to Yeye Olufunke Daniel and her entire family including this Ogidi Omo of our time, Otunba Gbenga Daniel. Daniel has won my heart. He is brilliant and highly humble. I commend his style of administration because he is genuine and he's an accomplisher. He has really made my 2005 hopes and I shall forever be grateful".



"As a matter of fact, the advent of Gbenga Daniel's administration in Ogun State is God's intervention and a direct answer to our collective prayers to God for good things in Ogun State. Hence, we must all strive to protect and guide it jealously because Satan is never happy when people are comfortable and in peace with God and this Satan is not spirit it is always in man that engages in negative and retrogressive activities. Let us beware and pray to God to Give this Daniel long life to serve us well enough."

I suppose if the Daniels had given me a free motorcycle, I would've said the same thing!
