Apostle Joshua Selman marked his 45th birthday on June 25, 2025, with a remarkable act of generosity in Abuja, distributing between 5,000 and 6,000 bags of rice to thousands of people over June 24–25 as part of his birthday celebration. The event, announced in advance via social media reels and posts, promised 5,000 bags but was later scaled up to 6,000 due to the massive turnout and demand. Footage on Facebook and Instagram showed orderly lines of families collecting rice packages alongside moments of heartfelt prayer and celebration led by Apostle Selman.
While the crowd remained mostly calm and respectful, one viral video captured a brief stampede that erupted during distribution, though peace was quickly restored and the atmosphere remained warm and celebratory. The scenes captured in videos across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok highlighted both the scale of the outreach and the spiritual depth of the moment, blending community service with faith in a powerful display. Coverage noted overflow halls, long queues, emotional recipient stories, and widespread social media engagement, underscoring the significant impact of Apostle Selman’s philanthropic gesture for his birthday.
