Daniel Regha Mocks Seyi Tinubu’s Plan to Share One Million Bibles for 40th Birthday
Nigerian social media critic Daniel Regha has sparked online reactions after mocking Seyi Tinubu’s plan to distribute one million Bibles as part of his upcoming 40th birthday celebration. Regha described the gesture as “insensitive,” given the country’s current economic challenges.
In a post shared on social media, Regha sarcastically suggested that Seyi Tinubu could add anointing oil and holy water to the next distribution, saying that Nigeria’s misplaced priorities are largely due to the influence of some religious leaders.
He wrote: “Seyi Tinubu’s birthday will be celebrated with the disbursement of ‘one million Bibles’ to whoever will accept. A million Bibles, wonderful. Maybe next time they can add anointing oil and holy water to facilitate prayers for the poor since that’s what is needed the most in the country now. Again, this is another slap to Nigerians. But can we blame anyone for this idea? Men of God set the examples.”
Regha’s comments have since triggered mixed reactions online. While some agreed that the gesture seemed out of touch with Nigeria’s harsh economic reality, others defended Seyi Tinubu, arguing that sharing Bibles was a positive spiritual act meant to uplift people during difficult times.
Many social media users pointed out that the country’s youth are battling unemployment, inflation, and poverty, saying the funds could have been used for empowerment projects instead. Others, however, praised the initiative for promoting faith and hope amid rising hardship.
In a related development, media personality and Celestial Church shepherd, Kunle Hamilton, also made headlines after calling Big Brother Naija Season 10 a “swimming pool of sin.” He expressed disapproval of clergy members who congratulated the winner, Imisi, insisting that the show encourages immorality and sends the wrong message to young people.
Hamilton stated that while he would personally congratulate the winner if given the chance, he would not do so publicly, as it contradicts Christian values. His comments added another layer to ongoing debates about morality, faith, and entertainment in Nigerian society.
Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s president, has not responded to the criticism. His birthday plan, however, continues to trend on social media, with Nigerians divided over whether faith-based philanthropy is the right approach during economic hardship.
