The Kano Matchmaking Marriage Association, also known as Mai Dalilin Aure, has offered four women to the tricycle rider who returned N15 million to its owner who forgot the money in his tricycle.
Recall that Auwalu Salisu (22) became the talk of the town after he found N15m, including some CFA currency, and returned it to the owner who is from the Republic of Chad.
From that time, the young man has been getting recognition from government officials, groups and individuals and received several gifts, including a new tricycle from a philanthropist.
First to honour him was the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), which rewarded him with N100,000. The cash gift was presented by the ACF Chairman, Dr Gwani Farouk, in a public ceremony.
Farouk, while presenting the cash prize, said “the tricyclist has exhibited the highest sense of honesty by returning the money to the passenger who forgot it in his tricycle, notwithstanding the economic challenges currently strangling the country.” He urged the Kano State Government to reward Salisu hugely.
Farouk said: “It’s not about the amount that ACF has decided to honour him with but the highest form of honesty which he exhibited by returning the money to his passenger in spite of the economic challenges he is facing.
“ACF will not only donate money to Salisu but will involve him in its activities to serve as a lesson and example to his friends and youths in the country.
“Salihu, by his action, has demonstrated the fact that there is still hope in Nigerian youths. He has elevated the image of Kano State and that of Nigeria in the estimation of the world.”
It was also reported that the chap of the moment has been given a brand new tricycle for his business operation.
Before the ACF’s cash reward, the owner of the money, Musa Hassan, gave Salisu the sum of N400,000 in appreciation.
Kano State House of Assembly has also pledged to reward the young tricycle rider for his honesty and proven integrity.
The 40-member Assembly took a unanimous decision to contribute a percentage from their individual salaries to the tricyclist.
The most unusual reward, however, came from the Kano Matchmaking Marriage Association also known as Mai Dalilin Aure, which offered four women to the tricycle rider
However, while joining the rest of the people to offer their donation, the matchmaking group promised four women for him to marry to be selected from 10 women.
Speaking on Freedom Radio, Kano, the Chairman of the association, Alhaji Mukhtar Inuwa Yakasai, said that among the ladies, two were his daughters.
Yakasai noted that the integrity, honesty and trust displayed by the young man qualified him for the honour.
He said, “The boy has shown the good character of our Noble Prophet, Muhammad (SAW). He is indeed trustworthy. That is why we have decided to honour him with these gifts.
“There are 10 women for him to select four. Two of them are my daughters.
