Daddy Osofa was one of the early converts to Christianity in Porto Novo. In 1909, in answer to his prayers, Mama Alake Iyafo safely delivered a male child. The child was blessed in the Methodist Church and later christened as Samuel Bilewu, a biblical name meaning “gift of God” and an indigenous name derived from a proverb in the Yoruba language Bi 'le aiye wu ko gbe, sugbon mo mo wipe mo ti toro re lodo Olorun which means: “If the world pleases the child, let him stay, but I know I've asked God for you.”
