Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has donated 50 million naira to support a Christmas charity outreach being organised by his lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, for people in need.
Olajengbesi announced the donation in an Instagram post on Friday, November 13, thanking the singer for backing his plan to assist less-privileged Nigerians during the festive season.
- Olajengbesi says the 50 million naira arrived as a transfer after he shared his outreach plans
- The outreach will target people facing hardship during the Christmas season
- Details of locations, beneficiaries and distribution dates are yet to be announced
How the Moses Bliss donation happened
According to the lawyer, he shared his plans to help people in need this festive season with Moses Bliss, and the singer responded with the money.
"Afterwards, I shared with him some of my plans to help people in need this festive season. I immediately received a transfer of 50 million naira," Olajengbesi wrote.
He described the contribution as a divine provision that strengthened his determination to reach more people, and noted his privilege of serving as the singer's legal counsel.
Olajengbesi recently stepped down as a senior partner at the Abuja-based law firm Law Corridor and is pursuing a House of Representatives seat for Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency in the 2027 elections.
What is known — and what is not
What is established is the announcement itself: the lawyer's own public post, reported by Punch, confirming receipt of the 50 million naira for the outreach.
What has not yet been publicly specified is how the money will be distributed — the communities to be covered, the number of beneficiaries and the timetable.
Those details will determine the real reach of one of the larger celebrity-linked charity pledges of this festive season.
What happens next
Attention now turns to the outreach itself as Christmas approaches, and to whether the distribution plans are published in advance.
Festive-season giving by Nigerian entertainers has become a fixture of December; a documented, open distribution would set this one apart.
