Chief Mrs Olufunke Daniel fondly called Yeye by all is a remarkable woman, with a remarkable understanding of her role.
As a dutiful wife and mother, you have to admire how well put together her family is, she stands firmly and calmly by her husband Sen Justus Olugbenga Daniel is all ramifications, private sector wife putting together amazing banquets for top rate CEOs both local and international at the rather early achievement levels that most would have fumbles at as there was very little to groom and mentor them at that stage but by a friendly mien, a can do spirit and a fashionistas eyes for details, Yeye ensured that the Daniels were a top brand in the 80s and 90s.
As a mother I see how well behaved, focus, diligent and dutiful her children are and so respectful that you hardly hear any of the delinquent attitude and conduct that has characterized the lives and agony of parent in their categories on the account of careless indoctrination of their wards and children but not the Daniel Children, I suppose it is appropriate to thank Yeye and to wish that the full rewards of a mother be her portion as she climbs the steps of life.
The super crisis management skill of Yeye Olufunke was fully at play throughout the difficult years occasioned by the challenges of politics, governance and its sometimes mean consequences, they bore it all with dignity, indicative of leadership traits of well trained soldiers. No man goes through all that without the support, comfort, backing and prayers of a supportive wife who truly share the joys and pain together as a team.
Perhaps it is her ability not to get in the way and throw her weigh about that endears most to her.
Yeye Olufunke has been impactful in the fashion industry way before it became an all comers platform when the likes of laurel fashion, labanella and such were the bespoke clothing outfit of the ages.
It is amazing how she has kept that business alive not abandoning it when quick bucks beclouded the nation moving her away from a productive line to one of import dumping and consumption.
As you clock 60 it is time to advice you to let your feet up, have fun, pamper yourself more for really you have been matured and disciplined for so long that I wonder if responsibilities did not rob you of some girlie time.
Now that things are on autopilot I wish you to enjoy yourself more taking advantage of your youthfulness, spread your wings, fly, go on holidays, spend Senators money, you have earned it for indeed yours is a life that has been very considerate and when it is said that he who finds a good wife obtains mercy from the lord, I will add that anyone who meets you has met a remarkable lady, poise, panache, beautiful, fashionable and appropriate.
Happy Birthday Yeye.
Stylish at 60.
Spackling like a Diamond.
