The Digest:

In an initiative framed as a national moral crusade, one million copies of the Holy Bible are set to be distributed across Nigeria to honour Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, on his 40th birthday. According to organisers from the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), the project is a "spiritual investment" to promote ethical leadership and moral rebirth among the youth, a gesture that has ignited a fervent public debate over national priorities.

Key Points:
  • One million Bibles will be distributed nationwide in honour of Seyi Tinubu at 40.
  • The project is coordinated by the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN).
  • Organisers describe it as a "seed for moral transformation," not a celebration of an individual.
  • A thanksgiving service was held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja and 40 other churches.
  • Seyi Tinubu expressed gratitude, calling faith-based education vital for a united Nigeria.
  • The first batch will be shared through churches, schools, and youth ministries in the coming weeks.
  • The initiative has sparked significant mixed reactions online regarding its timing and focus.
This gesture places spiritual piety at the forefront of national discourse, challenging the boundaries between personal honour, faith, and public need in a time of widespread socioeconomic hardship.
