Wedding Bells! Gbenga Daniel’s Handicapped Son Is Getting Married to His Best Friend
Debola Irede Daniel, the son of the former governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel, has popped the question to his longtime girlfriend and best friend, Tash Love.
The soon to be 27-year-old handsome man who suffered from paraplegia— a rare condition with no medical clarity, planned a romantic event to propose to his woman.
Debola, who bagged a Masters with distinction in Mechanical Engineering from the University College London, in 2017, shared photos of the romantic proposal, noting that he would be getting married to his best friend and closest confidant.
He also thanked his friends and family for helping him plan the event.

”ENGAGEMENT! So last night I asked my best friend and my closest confidant to spend the rest of her life with me and she said YES!
@tash_loves I love you more than words can ever describe. You’ve shown me what love is and it’ll be an honour to spend the rest of my life with you.
I’m getting married! Massive thank you to@ben__ben_ @tolaolu @kenny.d for helping me plan such a beautiful evening. Also thank you to @gtdaguitarman and@wanri_simpson. You guys are the best.”
An intelligent and inspirational speaker, Debola once educated his followers on how he was confined to the wheelchair:
“I was born into a very comfortable home, with both amazing parents and without a disability. However, when I turned 5, I was diagnosed with paraplegia- a rare condition with no medical clarity. I became confined to a wheelchair.
Growing up in Nigeria, I unconsciously associated disability to poverty and crime due to amputated beggars on the streets mostly as a result of Sharia Law practised in the North.
This was the general opinion of most Nigerians in my social circle as a child. Having myself become physically challenged, I was exposed to the stigma and assumptions that came with being ‘disabled’.

All of a sudden, I was looked at with pity, with judgement and sometimes with resentment by my fellow countrymen.
As I became an adult, I began to realise that the onus was on me to make something of myself and create my life and future the way I envision it. My future was, and would always be in my own hands.”
Awww! Love is a beautiful thing!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to the both of them.
